Oakland rolled out of bed today to find the city wrapped in thick pockets of fog, with visibility dropping in low-lying East Bay neighborhoods and along the bay shoreline. Early temperatures hovered near 50°F, and anyone hitting the road for a morning drive is looking at the kind of slow-motion commute that makes coffee feel mandatory.
According to the National Weather Service, a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for the East Bay interior valleys and the eastern half of the San Francisco Bay shoreline until 9 AM PST Sunday, February 8, 2026, with visibility at times dipping below one-quarter mile. The advisory urges drivers to ease off the gas, switch to low-beam headlights, and leave extra room between cars to reduce the risk of hazardous conditions.
Morning Fog, Sunny Afternoons
The fog should loosen its grip by late morning, giving way to partly sunny skies and a high near 66°F, with some inland spots nudging into the mid-60s. Winds stay on the mild side today, generally 1–8 mph from the southwest, before a gentle west breeze develops in the afternoon.
