San Francisco weather today is mostly cloudy with a high near 63°F, and you’ll want to keep an eye on scattered showers rolling in tonight and Sunday morning.
Here’s what’s happening: a weak upper-level low pressure system is moving inland from the Central Coast this morning, bringing that classic Bay Area moisture pattern. The National Weather Service forecasters are tracking scattered showers developing tonight after 5 AM, with a 30% chance of light drizzle. Rain totals will be light across the city—just a trace to a few hundredths of an inch—but the coastal hills and mountains are a different story. The Santa Cruz Mountains and East Bay Hills could see 0.1 to 0.2 inches, with localized pockets reaching up to 0.5 inches if showers overperform. That’s good news if you’re thinking about fire season prep, but keep gutters clear.
Saturday’s Game-Day Weather: If you’re heading to Chase Center for the Golden State Valkyries vs. Seattle Storm on Saturday, April 25, expect mostly cloudy skies and temps around 60°F by game time. It’s perfect indoor basketball weather, and you might want to grab Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support. Find tickets on StubHub or Get tickets on SeatGeek if you’re still looking for a seat.
Sunday Morning Showers, Then Clearing: Sunday starts with a 30% chance of light rain before 11 AM, then mostly sunny skies take over with a high near 65°F. West-southwest winds 6 to 12 mph will keep things breezy. By Sunday afternoon, you’ll have great conditions for a stroll through Golden Gate Park or along Ocean Beach—just bring a light layer since temps will be cooler than typical late April.
Allergy Alert: With moisture moving in and spring pollen still hanging around, this weekend is rough for allergy sufferers. Consider stocking up on Claritin non-drowsy allergy or allergy relief nasal spray before Saturday hits. If you’re sensitive to mold spores triggered by damp conditions, a HEPA air purifier or Levoit air purifier large room indoors can help you breathe easier.
What to Do This Weekend: Saturday’s decent for a quick outdoor errand or short hike in the Marin Headlands before the rain arrives tonight. Sunday morning, wait until after 11 AM to plan any outdoor activities. The afternoon looks solid for a picnic or casual bike ride along the Embarcadero.
Dinner Tonight: With cooler, damp weather setting in, a warm pasta or stir-fry hits the spot. You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door—grab some fresh vegetables and Amazon Fresh groceries staples to keep your pantry stocked.
Looking Ahead: Temperatures stay below normal through early next week before a warming trend kicks off mid-week. Monday and Tuesday will be mostly dry with highs in the low 60s, so you’ve got a window to tackle yard work or outdoor projects before things heat up.
