The San Francisco Bay Area is home to 3 major airports as well as many small airports, so overflights are common throughout the region.

What affects your area on a standard weather day?
Various Aircraft Overflights
Your area is not likely to be under an established flight path associated with a Bay Area Airport, but you may still be affected by overflights. These may be overflights from small propellor aircraft traversing the area or high-altitude jet aircraft traveling between airports. They are often irregular, meaning one day may have noticeably more overflights than another.
