San Francisco weather today brings partly sunny skies with a high near 64°F—a crisp spring day perfect for getting outdoors before moisture moves in this weekend.
This morning, expect mostly cloudy conditions with a low around 52°F and light west winds around 6 mph. If you’re heading out early—especially across the North Bay Valleys—watch for patchy fog on your commute. Turn on your low-beam headlights and allow extra time to reach your destination. The National Weather Service forecasters note that high-level clouds moving in should keep any fog relatively thin, but it’s worth the caution.
Friday itself shapes up nicely. Temperatures will climb to around 64°F by mid-morning, then actually dip back to 62°F by afternoon as a weak upper-level low moves inland. West-southwest winds of 3 to 10 mph will keep things breezy but manageable. It’s a great day to walk the Golden Gate Bridge, hit the Embarcadero, or grab a coffee in the Mission without needing a heavy jacket.
The weekend changes the story. A slight chance of drizzle develops Friday night after 5 PM, with rain chances climbing to 20%. By Saturday morning, expect a slight chance of light rain before 11 AM, then mostly cloudy skies for the rest of the day. Highs near 63°F. This is classic Bay Area spring weather—nothing severe, but definitely pack an umbrella or rain jacket if you’re heading to the Golden State Valkyries vs. Seattle Storm game at Chase Center on Saturday, April 25th. The game is indoors, so you’ll stay dry, but the walk to the arena could be damp. Grab Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support, and if you’re tailgating outside beforehand, a portable propane grill will let you cook regardless of the light drizzle.
For those with spring allergies—and let’s be honest, the Bay Area pollen season is in full swing—the moisture this weekend may actually help settle some airborne particles. Still, consider an allergy relief nasal spray and a pollen count face mask if you’re sensitive. A HEPA air purifier at home will also help when you’re indoors.
Temperatures this weekend stay below normal (low 50s at night, low 60s by day), so layer up. By early next week, a warming trend kicks in, so enjoy these cooler days while they last.
Dinner idea: A warm pasta or stir-fry pairs perfectly with this cool, damp weather. Order groceries on Amazon and grab everything you need—fresh vegetables, pasta, and sauce—delivered to your door.
Looking ahead: Sunday brings additional drizzle chances before conditions dry out early next week with warming temperatures returning.
