San Francisco, CA — The marine layer will keep low clouds in place across parts of the Bay Area tonight, bringing mild overnight temperatures before a noticeable warm-up takes hold for the rest of the week, according to the AccuWeather forecast.
Tonight’s Conditions
Overnight lows will hover in the mid-50s, with cloud cover forming along the San Mateo County coast and spreading into the East Bay. Despite the cloud deck, inland areas will stay clear and mild.
Warming Trend Begins Wednesday
Wednesday will bring above-average temperatures and plenty of sunshine:
- Bayside communities: Upper 70s to low 80s
- Inland valleys: Mid-to-upper 90s
- Coastal areas: Comfortable upper 60s, with a breezy onshore flow keeping conditions mild
Slight Dip Thursday, Hotter Friday and Saturday
Temperatures will cool slightly on Thursday, but a stronger warm-up is expected Friday and Saturday, creating a moderate heat risk for some interior North Bay and East Bay communities.
By the weekend, afternoon highs in inland areas could push well past the mid-90s, while the coast remains temperate under marine influence.
Return to Average Next Week
Early next week, temperatures are forecast to return closer to seasonal averages, offering relief from the weekend heat for inland communities as reported by ABC7News.
What to Do in Such Weather
With rising temperatures and moderate heat risk expected:
- Stay hydrated and avoid prolonged time outdoors during peak heat hours (11 a.m. – 4 p.m.)
- Wear light-colored, breathable clothing and use sunscreen
- Check on vulnerable individuals such as the elderly and young children
- Keep pets indoors or in shaded, cool areas with plenty of water
By planning activities for cooler morning or evening hours, residents can reduce the health risks associated with the upcoming heat wave.
