San Francisco weather today brings morning showers clearing to mostly sunny skies by afternoon, with a high near 65°F and temperatures falling through the day—a classic spring pattern for the Bay Area.
Expect showers and thunderstorms likely before 8 AM, with rain probable between 8 AM and 11 AM, then scattered chances between 11 AM and 2 PM. The National Weather Service forecasters are confident the system will move through quickly; once solar heating diminishes, convection will shut down. By mid-afternoon, you’ll see mostly sunny conditions develop across the entire Bay Area, from the Golden Gate to the hills above Oakland.
This is a get outside in the afternoon kind of day. If you’re heading to Oracle Park for the Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers at 1:05 PM PT on Thursday, hold that thought—tomorrow looks absolutely perfect for baseball. But if you’re planning any morning activities around the Embarcadero or Ocean Beach, pack a compact travel umbrella and grab a packable rain jacket. The morning wet stuff is real, but it’ll be gone by lunchtime.
For commuters heading into the Financial District or tech campuses down the Peninsula, give yourself extra time through 11 AM. Roads will be slick, and visibility might be briefly reduced. Inland valleys (think Walnut Creek, San Ramon) will see slightly warmer highs in the mid-60s, while the coast and bayside neighborhoods stay cooler—that gentle onshore breeze will keep places like the Marina and Sunset District in the low 60s all day.
Wednesday night clears beautifully with mostly clear skies and lows around 50°F. Thursday arrives crisp and sunny with highs near 68°F—perfect conditions for the Giants vs. Dodgers game or any outdoor plans. If you’re catching the Third Day 30th Anniversary Tour with Zach Williams at Golden 1 Center on Thursday evening, you’ll have gorgeous weather walking around Sacramento beforehand. Consider grabbing a Third Day t-shirt or Third Day hoodie to show your support.
Speaking of comfort: tonight’s the perfect evening for a slow cooker chili or hearty beef stew simmering while you listen to the rain. The cozy vibes are real. Did you know you can order groceries on Amazon? Get everything you need for tonight’s dinner delivered straight to your door.
Looking ahead: Friday stays pleasant with highs in the lower 70s. The weekend brings another weather system with slight chances for light rain and drizzle Saturday into early next week, so enjoy this window while it lasts. Check the San Francisco weather forecast for updates as we track that weekend system.
