Audio is available on Spreaker — see link below.
San Francisco's marine layer is running the show today — coastal neighborhoods locked in the low-to-mid sixties while inland valleys hit the eighties and nineties. Get the fog burn-off forecast, layering advice, and the microclimate breakdown before you head out.

There's a thirty-degree temperature gap sitting across the Bay Area right now, and whether you're heading to Ocean Beach or driving out to Fremont, that difference is the whole story today. The marine layer is running the show.
Here's what matters about that pattern. This isn't a temporary gap that closes by noon.
The fog burn-off is the real question mark this morning. Patchy fog is affecting visibility early, and the honest answer is that the clearing timeline is uncertain.
Practically, this is a layering day. If you're staying in San Francisco, dress for the sixties and assume you might not see full sun until late afternoon, if at all.
The two things worth watching as the day develops are fog persistence and wind speed. If the onshore flow stays at the stronger end of the range, there's a reasonable chance of partial clearing by mid-afternoon along the bay shoreline.
