The south bay is a lot clearer. We have so much moisture near the ground because of the recent rains. We are seeing patchy dense fog areas develop. And i want you to be look out for that tonight and tomorrow morning. I wanted to start off with a look at the weather pattern. It is different, at least whats happening right knnow into the next couple days. We had big storms move in, and then they moved out many we got decent breaks. But whats happening now is the storm track is lowering real close to the bay area. So the wettest weather is right up here into washington and oregon. The stormiest whetheeather. And then were getting grazed by the bottom edge of these storms. Do expect those spotty chances of rain, and also some milder temperatures. This flow really isnt bringing in a lot of extremely cold air. So right now we seeing some of that spotty rain as we are on the bottom edge of the latest storm to move in. It it and its a split picture. Dry off to the south in san jose. But showers moving into marin, napa and sonoma counties. Heavier rain in bodega bay. And then a little bit more off to the south were seeing showers right near novato moving into napa as we continue through 6 08. As we move in later tonight, i think we could see some of this activity spread on down to the peninsula, maybe spotty showers for the south bay and east bay. Tomorrow morning more scattered rain. We keep the clouds and also some of that patchy dense fog. Especially in the hills. Temperatures, as we begin, also on the cool side. So, you know, as you probably guessed here, have that jacket close by, it will help you get out the door. 54 in the south bay, and the tri valley at 52. More 50s for the east pabay, sa francisco and the north bay. No big storm, but some of these hit and miss showers are possible and cloud cover stays put. So kind of a gloomy day in the forecast tomorrow, but knowing that ahead of time, you can just go into it and make it a great day for yourself. Down here across the south bay, 65 in san jose. Temperatures similar through the east bay. Over to the peninsula, 64 in redwood city. And right here through the north bay, 62 in napa and 60 in mill valley. My extended forecast shows as we talked about, spotty rain chances into friday. Just a slight chance on saturday, not going to ruin your weekend. And something i think youll like about the weekend forecast, sun coming back once we hit sundays forecast, and then a chance here of some rain once we hit next tuesday and wednesday. About a quarter to half inch possible. Inland valley temperatures will be staying in the 50s to 60s as we move through the next couple days. Notice morning lows by sunday and monday. Might need that extra blanket. An a little bit of rain here and there, then watch out for some of that fog development as we head through the next several hours. Really dense in the tri valley right now. Yeah. Thank you, jeff. You got it. Up here next at 5 00, the mayor of san jose wants you to unleash your inner geek.
