The Bay Area's warm, sunny stretch continues through Veterans Day on Wednesday, Nov. 11, with highs in the 70s in most spots, before a cold front brings a chance of sprinkles Friday and possibly more significant rain Saturday or Sunday.
Why it matters: Wednesday should be the warmest day, in the low to mid-70s and 5 to 10 degrees above normal, National Weather Service meteorologist Roger Gass told SFGATE. A coastal flood advisory also remains in effect along San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay until Friday, with up to 1.6 feet of inundation possible.
Monday highs by region
Per the Chronicle:
- San Francisco: mid-60s to low 70s, downtown near 70, after patchy morning fog.
- North Bay: upper 60s at the coast to mid-70s inland.
- East Bay: low 70s along the bay, mid-70s inland.
- Peninsula and coast: upper 60s on the coast, low to mid-70s on the Peninsula.
- South Bay and Santa Cruz: mid- to upper 70s.
Beach warning and weekend rain
The weather service warned of sneaker waves, strong rip currents and breaking waves of 12 to 16 feet through Monday. "If it flooded where you were last week, you can expect flooding again this week," Gass said, "but not quite to that same extent."
High pressure should start shifting east Thursday. The Chronicle said the heaviest rain from a late-week storm looks likely to stay south of the region, and Gass said it is too early to say how much rain will fall. He put the chance of thunderstorms at less than 5%.
