eventually some cooler in . let's bring you into that microclimate forecast right now. i did want to start off with our wind advisory. after the damaging wind we had on sunday that impacted all of the bay area with the power outages that were numerous, we're still holding on to a little wind for the north bay. it's for the higher elevations around san rafael, healdsburg, calistoga. overnight, wind gusts of 20 to 50 miles per hour. that expires at 11:00 tomorrow morning. we'll be covering anything that happens overnight and on today in the bay. the big focus in the weather story as we move through tomorrow is high pressure. this is thing is back, and it's going to continue to pull up some warm air, pushing that storm track away. we have not seen any measurable rainfall so far this month, and that is jre for us because febr usually pick up so much rainfall. so drought is starting to come back. we're seeing our snowpack slip and also those rainfall numbers continually dropping.

south bay at 40. mostly clear skies. 45 for san francisco and the north bay at 39. but as we move through the afternoon, that high pressure i showed you, that's going to catapult temperatures 10 to 20 degrees above average. close to some records, and you'll see in the south bay, everybody from cupertino down to gilroy looking at these low 70s. there's no calmer winds out of the northwest at 8. we got more of this for the east bay. 74 in concord. 72 livermore. hayward, 70. sunny skies on the peninsula. 70 in san mateo. down into palo alto, i have you at 73 tomorrow. san francisco, close to 70 in the mission at 68. and the embarcadero at 67. through the north bay with wind in the morning coming more out of the north, that's a drier wind. i think this could be some of the warmest temperatures tomorrow. 76 in santa rosa and 74 in sonoma. the weather's going to be great to be out in tomorrow with the blue sky and all of that sunshine. you may have a problem if you have allergies. look at t e trees in the high category. think about that now. do what you need to do if you have allergies and you should be good to go tomorrow. temperatures drop in san francisco by
