If you’ve been loving the crisp fall air and dry skies, enjoy them while they last—because the rain is rolling in! Showers are set to arrive Saturday night, kicking off what looks like a five-day stretch of wet, gloomy weather across the Bay Area.
So, if you haven’t already, it’s time to dust off the rain boots, grab your umbrella, and brace yourself for a classic San Francisco soaking!
Saturday Night: The Rain Makes Its Entrance
By Saturday evening, you’ll notice the skies turning darker and heavier. That’s your warning sign—showers are on the way!
When Will It Start?
-
A few light sprinkles could show up after sunset, but the real rain gets going late at night.
-
By midnight, expect steadier showers across the city and Bay Area.
How Chilly Will It Be?
-
Lows will dip into the mid-50s, but with the damp air and light winds, it’ll feel even cooler.
Driving Late Saturday? Be Careful!
-
Wet roads + nighttime glare = slippery conditions, so take it slow.
-
There’s a chance of patchy fog, making visibility even worse.
-
Wind gusts over the bridges could get tricky, so keep both hands on the wheel.
Sunday Through Wednesday: A Wet & Gloomy Week Ahead
Hoping for just a quick overnight rain? Think again! A series of storm systems will keep showers around through at least midweek—so don’t even think about putting that umbrella away.
What to Expect:
Cloudy, drizzly, and breezy—so basically, peak SF weather.
On-and-off showers each day, sometimes heavier in the afternoons.
Wind gusts could reach 25 mph Monday and Tuesday, so expect a little extra chill in the air.
How Cool Will It Get?
-
Highs stuck in the upper 50s to low 60s, and with the damp air, it’ll feel even colder.
Looking Ahead: Will We Catch a Break?
By Thursday or Friday, the rain might take a breather—but don’t count on it lasting long. Another system could roll in by the weekend, keeping the wet weather going.
The Rainy Season Has Arrived—Time to Embrace It!
Saturday Night: Showers move in—expect a cool, damp night.
Sunday – Wednesday: The rain sticks around, with breezy winds and chilly temps.
Next Weekend? Might dry out… but don’t get too excited just yet.
So whether you’re a rain-lover ready to cozy up with a warm drink, or already missing the sunshine, one thing is certain—San Francisco’s classic rainy season has officially arrived!
