Wednesday morning First Alert weather forecast with Jessica Burch - 5/23/26

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]We are looking at Black Mountain and that gorgeous sunrise, grateful for that nice way to start the day with that word, grateful. Absolutely. And we're starting to see some more clear skies on tap for us as we head into the next couple days here in the Bay. Something to be grateful for, too, if you like that sunshine to wake up to in the early morning hours. Here's where we're currently at this morning. We're in the low 50s in places like San Francisco, actually mid-50s in San Francisco, low 50s in the San Jose. We have 60s just across the hills over into the coast near Half Moon Bay. And as we stretch down into Santa Cruz, we're looking at very similar numbers, too, as we wake up and head out the door. But daytime highs today, they're jumping up fast into those inland microclimates, into the upper 70s near Morgan Hill, upper 60s along the coast near Santa Cruz. A lot cooler along our coastal communities in the Half Moon Bay this afternoon, it's 60°. So, you compare that to our inland microclimates like Antioch, we're seeing about an 18° difference this afternoon as you step out the door from one extreme to the next. But no matter where you live today, you're probably going to notice it's a little bit breezy for us into the afternoon hours. Already off to a breezy start this morning in San Francisco, up to around 20 mph wind gusts. Let's advance the clock to lunchtime. Now we're starting to see 20 mph wind gusts in Ben Lomond, Redwood City. Stretch all the way up into Napa and Fairfield into that 4:00 hour while the rest of us are also seeing some gusty conditions, too. So, that's one thing to keep in mind. Now, we take a look at the rest of this week heading into this weekend, not only San Francisco, but all throughout the Bay Area, all throughout the West Coast, we're gearing up for above normal temperatures throughout the next 6 to 10 days. So, let's start off in our inland microclimates, one of our warmer areas.

[00:01:29]As we take a look at the next 7 days, we're still gearing up for some 80s as early as tomorrow. So, today's that nice breath of fresh air before we really start to warm up and then eventually heat up, I would say, as we head into next Monday and Tuesday, into the upper 80s and lower 90s in places like Antioch, all the way over in Concord, places like the North Bay, too, Napa and Sonoma. So, it's going to look a little bit different for our inland microclimates compared to our Bay Area climates. For example, Oakland and San Francisco, we're going to see some 70s as early as this weekend, turning into 80s by next Monday. So, it is going to be a warm one for us as we kick off next week. Back to you.
