According to the National Weather Service in San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area residents can expect cool temperatures and clear skies to persist today. The weather bulletin issued in the early hours of the morning details that highs will be in the 50s to around 60 degrees, creating a beautiful fall-like day ahead. However, as the sun sets, those clear skies will coincide with a significant drop in temperature that could lead to widespread frosts and freezing conditions in certain areas, including the southern Salinas Valley.
AsNWS San Franciscoreports, “There is about a 60% chance of seeing low temps below 32F in the North Bay valleys, 60-70% for the Santa Cruz Mtns and San Benito county, and 80-90% for the southern Salinas Valley and interior Monterey county.” These chilly conditions necessitate precautions, and theNWS Bay Area X postreminds locals to take care of “the people, pets, plants and pipes in your life” over the weekend, reinforcing the importance of preparing for the freeze.
Any lingering rain showers have subsided w/ the setting sun. Cold air will settle in across our region. Stay warm out there tonight. Take care of the people, pets, plants and pipes in your life this weekend as overnight temperatures drop below freezing for many of us.#CAwx#COLDpic.twitter.com/PayKag4pCp
By Sunday, there’s a fleeting chance of rain as an upper low approaches the region, which should clear by Monday morning. This leaves the door open for dry, albeit very cold, overnight temperatures into Tuesday.NWS San Franciscoanticipates that additional “frost and freeze hazard products may be needed,” and those with outdoor plans for Monday evening, specifically, should plan to dress accordingly for the biting cold.
Looking ahead, the local marine forecast fromNWS San Franciscopoints to improving conditions on Sunday, with more moderate breezes and seas a temporary respite until another cold front brings stronger northwesterly breezes by Monday. In the meantime, beachgoers are advised to heed the High Surf Advisory, which remains in effect until 11 AM today in anticipation of 12-15 foot waves and up to 18 feet along northwest-facing beaches. The king tide poses a further risk, potentially exacerbating flooding in areas vulnerable during these high tidal events.
