High temperatures will be about 5 to 10 degrees above normal in the Bay Area on Wednesday as a high pressure system builds across California. A cool sea breeze will continue along the coast, with patchy fog possibly returning overnight.
A high pressure system along the California-Arizona border will eventually contribute to triple-digit temperatures in Palm Springs and Phoenix, but it is too far east for significant heat in the Bay Area.

Overview

  • The Bay Area is experiencing pleasant and sunny weather, contrasting with record-setting heat in other parts of California.
  • A high-pressure system near the California-Arizona border is allowing a light sea breeze to keep coastal temperatures moderate.
  • Wednesday is forecast to be the warmest day of the week, with downtown San Francisco nearing 70°F and inland cities reaching the upper 70s.
  • As the high-pressure system moves eastward, stronger sea breezes and the return of the marine layer and fog are expected to cool temperatures by Friday and Saturday.
  • Regional microclimates will see varied conditions, with coastal areas staying cooler while inland regions experience warmer highs.
