Currently in San Francisco — October 13, 2023: Light rain and fog ahead

The weather, currently.
Showers and fog Friday and Saturday, with sun returning Sunday
SF will get a bit more rain in the coming days, with light showers predicted for Friday and into Saturday morning. Temperatures remain mild with mid-60s highs. As the precipitation dissipates, we’ll see a mix of sun and fog, from patchy wisps inland to a thick cloud wall at the coasts.
Sunday it’ll be sunny and warm, with highs in the low 70s. It’s a rare week that we get to enjoy a bit of rain on our faces and then full sun again. I’ve been savoring the variability and hope you all can get outdoors this weekend and delight in the same.

What you need to know, currently.
The LA Times has a story out today about the solar industry and desert conservationists making friends. It’s worth a read in its entirety, only if for the fact that it should bring a sunny moment into your day.
After nearly two years of negotiations, a coalition of solar companies, conservationists and other groups has come to terms on a set of principles — and plans for further collaboration — that could speed up the construction of badly needed renewable energy projects while also protecting wildlife habitat, preserving treasured landscapes and benefiting nearby communities.
Climate-friendly renewable energy development in line with justice for all living things is in everyone’s interest. Let’s hope California can continue to lead the way.
