9/26/2026: the mornings are certainly feeling more like Fall and we’ll see a fairly cloudy and mild wrap up to the weekend. Temps get back to Summer-mode midweek with dry breezes along the hills. #BayArea #SanFrancisco #NorCal #California

9/19/2026: A cloudy and cooler finish to the weekend will be followed by a temperature roller coaster briefly back to Summer-like levels by midweek. Then it looks to be another cool down, arriving in time for next weekend. #BayArea #California #SanFrancisco #SanJose #NorCal

9/15/2026: Our final days of Summer will likely feel more like Fall. We have a chance of night/am drizzle at times w/ temps mostly in the mid to upper 80s inland into the weekend along with cool mornings. More interesting changes could be lurking down the road…stay tuned on that.

Based on expected wind direction, more smoke from the #LucasFire is possible into the Bay Area Monday. The fire has been a little more active on the eastern and southern sides over the last 24 hours at slightly > 4,000 acres as of midday Sunday. 9/13/2026 #BayArea #SanFrancisco #Sacramento #NorCal

Turning @oraclepark into an @exploratorium lab for “Weather Day” this week. A few fast facts: leave liquid nitrogen displays to the experts, lead Exploratorium scientist Hannah Weiss’ dress was all weather icons and for a moment, we created the coolest place in SF on the hottest day of the year 🥵

9/13/2026 Some warming is expected to start the week but not to the levels (hottest of the year bayside) we saw last week. Try and breezy conditions will likely keep fire danger elevated across interior NorCal, esp mtn areas through midweek. #BayArea #SanFrancisco #NorCal

8/31/2026: September will be starting off much cooler than average with drizzle and showers at times. We’re also tracking wildfire smoke and weekend rain chances to our south with a connection to the tropics (stay tuned on that)

A park service assessment of the Dragon Bravo burn scar last summer found that “debris flow risk is localized to steep, confined drainages, like Dragon Creek and upper Bright Angel Creek.”

8/23/2026 the conditions that allowed the #HawkFire to grow aggressively to more than 15,000 acres in 24 hours is a reminder that we’re entering the peak time of year for intense wildfires as live fuel moistures reach their low point with hot, dry and windy conditions leading to red flag warnings.

Mostly upper level smoke from the #TimberFire back in the skies near San Jose. Daytime-like dry conditions at night aka nocturnal drying (dry, warm, windy) gave a boost to wildfire activity & smoke. Areas in the (esp South Bay and East Bay) may notice some smoke at times with hazy skies 8/23/2026

Can confirm the smell of wildfire smoke near Danville. Elevated levels from the inland East Bay and into the South Bay this morning. 8/11/2026

Rob Mayeda NBC Bay Area @robmayeda.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
Contingent on overnight wildfire activity at the #TimberFire for daytime-like intensity & smoke output… southeasterly wind may transport smoke into the South Bay early Tuesday, before improving into the afternoon. 8/10/2026
