Coastal hazards are expected, plus a marginal Sunday severe threat, with New England poised for midweek rain that could ease drought.

Near to slightly above normal temperatures are predicted across the Bay Area on Saturday. San Francisco is forecast to hit 75 degrees while inland cities should reach the upper 70s to low 80s.
Above normal precipitation is favored across all of Northern California at the end of October.

Overview

  • A broad ridge is delivering a warm, dry weekend across the West and interior U.S., with Phoenix trending into the mid to upper 80s and some valleys near the low 90s early next week.
  • Gusty offshore and downslope winds are impacting coastal and mountain corridors but mostly below advisory levels, including a light Santa Ana south of California’s Central Coast.
  • The National Weather Service has a beach hazards statement for the Bay Area through Saturday night, and the Southeast faces a high rip current risk with minor tidal flooding through Sunday.
  • A slow-moving cold front arrives late Sunday into Monday with showers and stronger gusts, and the Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal Risk for damaging winds in parts of south-central Pennsylvania.
  • After chilly nights with patchy frost in northern New England, two systems next week could bring a soaking Monday and another midweek round, with some spots potentially seeing 0.75–1.5 inches to help drought conditions.
