Weather models predict strong northerly winds along the coast next week, which could disrupt the cloud deck off the coast and result in sunny skies in San Francisco.

Overview

  • San Francisco’s average high of 58.7°F from Sunday to Tuesday marked the city’s coldest three-day stretch of June weather since 2008.
  • Coastal fog and cloud cover have blanketed San Francisco for five consecutive days, with little relief expected before Saturday.
  • Inland valleys such as Livermore and the South Bay are seeing deeper fog incursions, stretching cloud cover farther east than usual.
  • High temperatures are forecast in the low to mid-70s near the coast and in the 80s inland this week, with southern Monterey and San Benito counties possibly reaching 90°F over the weekend.
  • Strong northerly winds along the coast could help mix out marine clouds by mid-June, although diverging pressure models leave the timing of clearing uncertain.
