"We'll see them start to slow down Friday and by Saturday, you'll see a shift in the off-shore flow, and it's gonna start warming up more. Those temperatures by the weekend should be up to the mid-70s. Some of the hotter places might get near 80."
"Offshore winds are those gusts that blow toward the Pacific Ocean, the opposite of the normal wind direction from the ocean that acts as the Bay Area's natural cooling mechanism. Thus, the windy conditions are likely to add warmth to the region on Thursday rather than make it cooler."
"We are starting to move into a more spring-like weather pattern. There are not a lot of signs of significant rainfall, at least through the middle of March. And we're starting to see some of the warming trends that we start to get when spring gets here."
The Bay Area is transitioning to spring-like weather patterns as rain has ended and gusty winds are expected to subside. Winds that began Wednesday from the west and northwest will shift to northeast on Thursday, potentially gusting over 40 mph along coasts and higher elevations, with 25-30 mph gusts in lower inland areas. These offshore winds will add warmth rather than cooling. By Friday, winds will slow significantly, and Saturday will bring a shift in offshore flow with temperatures rising to mid-70s, potentially reaching near 80 degrees in hotter areas. A high-pressure ridge north of the region is deflecting Pacific Northwest storm systems, with no significant rainfall expected through mid-March.
