Warmer temperatures are on the way tomorrow. That breeze is going to wait until a little bit later in the day to kick in. Even around the bay, temperatures should climb up well in the 70s.

Plenty of sunshine across the board. Concord reaching up in the mid 80s for high temperatures. And well see santa rosa reaching the same territory. Right around 85 degrees. This isnt the warmest day in the sevenday forecast. Its the warm errs day well have before we hit the weekend. The temperatures back off slightly for saturday and sunday but then another warm up next week. Look at that. The warmest spots inland on tuesday will touch 90 degrees. Which means most inland locations will be in the mid to upper 80s. But thats well above average for this time of the year. The bay, were talking low 70s tomorrow.
