San Francisco remains mostly cool despite heat wave<\/strong><\/p>\n On Friday<\/strong>, while inland Bay Area cities<\/strong> scorch under near-triple-digit heat<\/strong>, San Francisco<\/strong> will largely escape the intensity thanks to the persistent marine layer<\/strong>. Neighborhoods west of Twin Peaks<\/strong>, including the Sunset<\/strong> and Richmond Districts<\/strong>, will remain in the 60s<\/strong> \u00b0F (16\u201320 \u00b0C<\/strong>), while Mission<\/strong>, SoMa<\/strong>, Bayview<\/strong>, and Portola<\/strong> will feel warmer air<\/strong>, with highs in the mid-70s<\/strong> \u00b0F (24\u201325 \u00b0C<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Downtown San Francisco<\/strong> could briefly touch 75 \u00b0F (24 \u00b0C)<\/strong> Friday afternoon before the sea breeze<\/strong> kicks in by evening, dropping temperatures to around 60 \u00b0F (16 \u00b0C)<\/strong>. North Beach<\/strong> and other coastal neighborhoods might struggle to even reach 65 \u00b0F (18 \u00b0C)<\/strong> due to lingering fog<\/strong> and cool ocean winds<\/strong>. Overnight lows will settle in the mid-50s \u00b0F (12\u201313 \u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Coastal areas hold steady, inland areas boil<\/strong><\/p>\n While Oakland<\/strong>, Berkeley<\/strong>, and Alameda<\/strong> might see highs in the upper 70s to low 80s<\/strong> \u00b0F (25\u201328 \u00b0C<\/strong>), communities east of the Caldecott Tunnel<\/strong> like Walnut Creek<\/strong> and Pleasanton<\/strong> are expected to climb into the mid-90s to low 100s \u00b0F (35\u201338 \u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Farther inland, Antioch<\/strong> and Brentwood<\/strong> may touch 100 \u00b0F (38 \u00b0C)<\/strong> for the first time this year<\/strong> \u2014 weeks earlier than usual<\/strong>. Meanwhile, Vallejo<\/strong>, Petaluma<\/strong>, and Western Marin<\/strong> will remain much cooler, with highs in the 60s to upper 80s \u00b0F (16\u201331 \u00b0C)<\/strong>, depending on their proximity to the coast.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Santa Clara Valley and South Bay under heat advisory<\/strong><\/p>\n From 11 a.m. Friday<\/strong>, a heat advisory<\/strong> is in effect for the Santa Clara Valley<\/strong> and Santa Cruz Mountains<\/strong>, where temperatures will soar into the mid-90s to 100 \u00b0F (35\u201338 \u00b0C)<\/strong>. Morgan Hill<\/strong> and Gilroy<\/strong> are most likely to hit the century mark<\/strong>, while San Jose<\/strong>, Santa Clara<\/strong>, and Milpitas<\/strong> stay slightly cooler, in the 90s \u00b0F (32\u201335 \u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In contrast, Santa Cruz<\/strong> and coastal areas will feel relatively mild, with temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s \u00b0F (25\u201327 \u00b0C)<\/strong>. Overnight lows<\/strong> in the mountains will hover in the low to mid-60s \u00b0F (16\u201318 \u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saturday’s weather will echo Friday’s pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n On Saturday<\/strong>, expect another hot day inland<\/strong>, but with slightly stronger sea breezes<\/strong> keeping coastal cities cooler<\/strong>. San Francisco<\/strong> will again see 60s to 70s \u00b0F (16\u201325 \u00b0C)<\/strong> depending on location, while Vacaville<\/strong>, Fairfield<\/strong>, and Brentwood<\/strong> could see highs reach 103 \u00b0F (39 \u00b0C)<\/strong>. Meanwhile, Peninsula cities<\/strong> like San Mateo<\/strong> and Redwood City<\/strong> will still flirt with the 90s \u00b0F (32\u201333 \u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The marine layer<\/strong> will deepen, helping moderate the heat a bit, but inland valleys<\/strong> will remain well above average<\/strong> for late May.<\/p>\n Sunday brings relief across the Bay Area<\/strong><\/p>\n By Sunday<\/strong>, a regional cooldown<\/strong> will drop temperatures by 10 to 15 degrees<\/strong>. Highs<\/strong> across the Bay shoreline<\/strong> will fall into the upper 60s to mid-70s \u00b0F (20\u201324 \u00b0C)<\/strong>, and inland valleys<\/strong> will settle back to the mid-70s to mid-80s \u00b0F (24\u201329 \u00b0C)<\/strong>. Westerly winds<\/strong>, gusting at 20 to 30 mph<\/strong>, will reinforce this cooling trend, particularly in San Francisco<\/strong> and along the coastline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Expect a mix of sunshine and clouds<\/strong>, a refreshed breeze<\/strong>, and lower overnight temperatures<\/strong> \u2014 a significant shift from the brief but intense heatwave<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" San Francisco remains mostly cool despite heat wave On Friday, while inland Bay Area cities scorch under near-triple-digit heat, San Francisco will largely escape the intensity thanks to the persistent marine layer.
