San Jose is in for a bit of a weather shake-up this week, with cloudy skies, gusty winds, and a few lingering showers before temperatures finally begin to rise. The start of February has been damp, but a shift to drier, warmer conditions is on the waay as high pressure builds over California.
A storm system moving through the Pacific Northwest midweek will bring some unsettled weather, including wind gusts up to 40-50 mph in the Bay Area. However, rainfall in San Jose is expected to be minimal, with less than a quarter of an inch forecasted. By the end of the week, a ridge of high pressure is expected to move in, bringing sunshine and gradually rising temperatures that could push into the upper 60s by the weekend.

What Does This Mean for San Jose?
After a rainy and cloudy start to the month, this weather shift means drier, milder conditions will dominate the forecast. While early-week clouds and gusty winds will make things feel unsettled, sunshine will start to take over by Friday, leading into what could be a beautiful weekend with highs potentially reaching the low 70s.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, hiking, or dining outside, this upcoming stretch of weather is perfect. Parks and trails across the Bay Area will begin to dry out, making it a great time to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.
What to Watch For:
While rain totals will be low, wind gusts midweek could cause minor disruptions, especially for those commuting on elevated highways or bridges. If you’re planning to be outdoors, be prepared for a breezy midweek, but warmer days are just around the corner.
