san jose 33, and in napa down to 31 degrees. out in wine country, sun up at 7:11 a.m., but we hit the lowest temperatures of the night, so they have freeze warnings posted for the valleys. temperatures rage from the mid-20s to the low 30s, so protect plants, pets, pipes, and i would say people as well. as we look at high pressure offshore, good news is that this high pressure that's out here will be ushering in, it's been windy, and the winds if they persist overnight keep the temperatures from getting too cold. high pressure offshore, creating north winds and winds up to 30 miles per hour in the higher elevations. that high pressure and didn't bring us any rain, but did bring the cool down in temperatures. so that high pressure edges closer to the shoreline the next couple of days and brings temperatures up. it will take us to near 70 degrees by friday, so it will be cold tonight. tuesday we get sun, on the cool side, but milder temperatures by midweek, and by friday we're near 70 degrees. that's something. so here's how it looks. temperatures will be mostly in the 50s tomorrow in the bay area. 56 in san francisco is shy of where we usually are this time of year by about 3 degrees. concord tomorrow 56. plenty of sunshine around. the upside of this, the visibles are stunning. ultra clear weather. 56 at milpitas, and 56 in fremont. over in the east bay tonight we have starry skies. venus will be gleaming in the southwest sky until about 9:00 tonight. brentwood at 54, danville hitting 55 tomorrow, and pleasant hill will live up to its name at 57 degrees and vallejo ditto. mill valley 56, kentfield 57, petaluma tomorrow plenty of sun and 58. santa rosa gets a little cooler with 55 at lake port and 54 at clear lake. windsor will have 60. and in the extended forecast, well after the coldest night of the week which will be tonight, things will slowly begin to warm up as we get to wednesday and thursday, and look at friday, by the time we get to friday, 69 degrees, then saturday a little cool down. more of a cool down on sunday, and then monday 61. you'll notice one thing missing from the extended forecast. you know, we look at the long range models from last monday, and there wasn't a drop in sight. and we looked at the long rain models today, and there's not a drop in sight. we continue to see no rain moving into the bay area over the
