Rain Thursday, then a hard freeze Friday night

WEATHER

October 14, 2026 · Elias Brandt

The Hayward area gets rain before it gets cold. The National Weather Service expects rain showers likely Thursday, with a 70 percent chance of precipitation and a tenth to a quarter inch of rain, followed by gusty northwest winds on Friday. Friday night then turns clear and cold, with a low near 25 degrees — the coldest night in the current forecast, and the kind of hard freeze that ends the season for unprotected plants. Saturday rebounds to sunny skies and a high near 61. There were no active watches, warnings, or advisories for the Hayward area when this was checked early Wednesday.
