Sunny Tuesday, Then Hold Onto Your Hats
Today’s your day, folks. We’re looking at beautiful, sunny skies with highs near 63°F—that classic San Francisco spring weather that makes you forget all about Karl the Fog (at least for a few hours). West winds will pick up a bit, gusting to around 18 mph, but nothing that’ll ruin your plans. This is prime time to get outside: walk the Golden Gate, hit the Presidio, or tackle that yard work you’ve been putting off. The afternoon will actually cool slightly as we head toward evening, so layer up if you’re planning an outdoor dinner.
Tonight stays pleasant with partly cloudy skies and lows around 51°F—chilly but not freezing. No rain in sight, so no need to worry about the gutters just yet.
Midweek Wind Advisory (Not Quite, But Close)
Here’s where things get interesting. Wednesday through Friday morning, we’re expecting periods of gusty winds, especially at higher elevations and across exposed areas. The National Weather Service is flagging this as a key message, so it’s worth paying attention. Gusts could reach 20 mph Wednesday afternoon and persist into Thursday.
If you’ve got any loose outdoor furniture, patio umbrellas, or decorations, now’s the time to secure them. A pop-up canopy tent with weights is perfect for anyone planning outdoor events or tailgates this week—those gusts can catch you off guard. Same goes for checking your gutters and downspouts; if you haven’t installed gutter guards yet, this windy stretch is a good reminder.
A’s Baseball Weather & Tailgating
The Oakland Athletics take on the Texas Rangers Wednesday and Thursday at Sutter Health Park. Gameday weather looks great: mostly sunny Wednesday with highs near 66°F, and sunny Thursday with highs around 68°F. You’ll want a light jacket for the evening games, especially with those gusty winds, but conditions are perfect for tailgating. A [[portable propane grill](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=portable+propane+grill&tag=thedealdoppler-20)](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=portable+propane+grill&tag=thedealdoppler-20) will work nicely, though keep it secured and away from anything flammable given the wind. Grab tickets on SeatGeek or StubHub, and snag some official gear on Fanatics to show your support.
Looking Ahead
Temperatures gradually warm through the week—Thursday hits 68°F, and we’re expecting even warmer conditions Friday and Saturday. But here’s the big news: confidence is increasing for widespread, beneficial rain beginning Sunday into early next week. That’s welcome news for our region, so enjoy the dry stretch while it lasts.
For tonight’s dinner, a warm pasta or stir-fry pairs perfectly with this cool, clear weather—comfort food that works whether you’re eating inside or bundled up on the patio.
Stay safe out there, and don’t let those midweek gusts catch you unprepared!
