SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The calm before the storm is fading fast across the Bay Area this morning. Low clouds hug the hills, the air feels damp and still — a sure sign of a changing pattern that will bring strong winds, pounding surf, and the Bay’s first widespread heavy rain in weeks.

According to the National Weather Service in San Francisco, multiple advisories are now in effect. A Wind Advisory begins late Tuesday night through Wednesday, warning of gusts up to 45 mph along coastal ridges and bridges, including the Golden Gate and Bay Bridge corridors. A Beach Hazards Statement and Coastal Flood Advisory are also active, with waves up to 20 feet and tide surges expected Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon.

Residents near San Francisco, Marin, and Monterey counties should prepare for coastal flooding, slippery commutes, and minor power outages as the Pacific storm strengthens midweek. Drivers on U.S. 101, I-80, and Highway 1 should expect reduced visibility and gusty crosswinds from Tuesday evening through early Wednesday.

While rainfall totals will vary, forecasters expect a half-inch to one inch across the city, with heavier pockets in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The system clears by Thursday, but more moisture could arrive over the weekend.

For now, secure outdoor items, avoid flooded roads, and stay away from breaking surf — sneaker waves and high tides can sweep farther inland than expected. The next 48 hours will mark the Bay Area’s first true taste of late-fall storm season.

Five-Day Forecast for San Francisco, CA:Mon: 65/57 – Sunny; light southwest breeze.Tue: 69/56 – Partly sunny; breezy late.Wed: 61/56 – Rain and wind; 100% chance of showers.Thu: 65/55 – Mostly sunny; calmer winds.Fri: 70/56 – Partly cloudy; mild and drier.

A California city has the dubious honor of being "rattiest," with three other Golden State locales on the Top 50 list.

LOS ANGELES — There may be more rats than angels this year in Los Angeles, which topped the 2025 list of "rattiest" cities in the United States.

While the distinction is dubious, Los Angeles dethroned Chicago from the top spot for the first time in the history of the Top 50 Rattiest Cities list, published for a decade by the pest control company, Orkin.

"In true Hollywood fashion, Los Angeles has taken center stage. With year-round warm weather, a booming culinary scene, and dense neighborhoods that offer ample access to food and shelter, the City of Angels checks every box for rodent survival," Orkin said regarding Tuesday's release of the list. "From bustling commercial corridors to hidden alleyways, Los Angeles’ signature blend of glam and grit creates a perfect storm for rodent activity."

Not only was Chicago dethroned, but California had four cities in the top 50 — the most in the nation — making the Golden State the country's rat capital. After Los Angeles, San Francisco came in at No. 4, followed by Sacramento at No. 19, and San Diego at No. 24.

"The shake-up in rankings signals a shift in rodent activity, likely influenced by weather patterns, urban infrastructure and human behavior," Orkin said regarding Tuesday's release of the list. "While Chicago has held the top spot since the list's inception, this year's data shows other major cities are seeing increased pressure, particularly as more moderate climates improve rodent survival rates and urban sprawl opens new pathways for infestations."

Acording to Orkin, the top 10 rattiest cities for 2025, are:

Orkin determined the Rattiest Cities by tracking new rodent services in owner-occupied residences from Aug. 20, 2024, to Aug. 21, 2025, offering a snapshot of the cities with the highest levels of reported activity.

Orkin said rodents are highly adaptive, drawn to the same needs as humans, including shelter, food and water. The Atlanta-based company added that as the weather cools, rodents seek warm shelter and food sources, causing serious concern for millions of homeowners who deal with infestations each fall.

Uber is developing a robotaxi with the electric car company Lucid and the self-driving technology company Nuro Inc.

Uber said Wednesday that the San Francisco Bay Area will be the first market for its specially built autonomous taxi, which is expected to launch in late 2026.

The San Francisco ride-hailing company said in July it was developing a robotaxi with the electric car company Lucid and the self-driving technology company Nuro Inc. The vehicle is exclusive to Uber but is based on the Lucid Gravity SUV.

Uber said Lucid recently delivered test vehicles to Nuro and said it plans to have 100 test vehicles on the road in the coming months.

Within six years, Uber plans to deploy 20,000 or more Lucid-based autonomous taxis in multiple locations. The vehicles will be available to riders through the Uber app.

Uber is working with multiple companies to speed the deployment of autonomous taxis.

On Tuesday, Uber said it’s also developing robotaxis with the tech company Nvidia and the automaker Stellantis. Uber said Tuesday that in 2028, Stellantis expects to start production of at least 5,000 vehicles powered by Nvidia software for autonomous taxi operations in the U.S.

And last week, Uber said it has begun offering autonomous taxi rides in Saudi Arabia as part of a partnership with WeRide, a Chinese autonomous tech company. Uber also works with WeRide in Abu Dhabi.

Autonomous taxis aren’t new, but as the world’s largest ride-hailing service, Uber’s adoption of them is significant. Uber operates in 15,000 cities in more than 70 countries.

Waymo, which is owned by Google parent Alphabet, has been testing autonomous taxis for years. Those taxis are currently available in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Austin. Waymo said earlier this month it plans to expand to London next year.

Uber is partnering with Waymo on autonomous taxis in Phoenix, Austin and Atlanta.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Morning light spills through the fog-free skyline today as the Bay Area wakes to crisp air and calm water on the Bay. Temperatures hover around 60°F before sunrise, promising another warm, tranquil stretch as late October continues its unusually steady run.

According to the National Weather Service in San Francisco, high pressure remains in control through the end of the week, keeping skies clear and winds gentle. Highs will reach near 77°F this afternoon in downtown San Francisco and into the low 80s for inland valleys. Light north winds will shift west later in the day, cooling the coast slightly but keeping the region bright and comfortable.

By Halloween Friday, the weather turns nearly picture-perfect for outdoor events. Expect sunshine across the Bay Area, highs near 69°F in the city and low 70s for Oakland and San Jose. Trick-or-treaters can expect calm air, temperatures in the mid-60s at dusk, and excellent visibility for community festivities across the Peninsula and East Bay neighborhoods.

Saturday and Sunday keep the trend alive, with highs in the low 70s and a mix of sun and patchy clouds. No rain is in sight through early next week, though models hint at a subtle cooling trend by mid-November—a quiet prelude to California’s winter pattern.

To be fair, the region’s stable stretch feels more like September than late October—but as clocks fall back at 2 a.m. Sunday, darker evenings will quickly return, signaling the seasonal shift that’s waiting just over the horizon.

Five-Day Forecast for San Francisco, CA:Wed: 77/55 – Sunny and mild; light north wind.Thu: 66/54 – Mostly sunny; calm afternoon breeze.Fri: 69/54 – Sunny; perfect trick-or-treat evening near 65°.Sat: 70/57 – Mostly sunny; warm inland, light coastal fog.Sun: 71/56 – Partly sunny; steady fall warmth continues.
