Mid to upper 60s along the coast. 80s inland. 70s around the south end of the bay. Low 80s for the santa clara valley. Mid 80s in the east bay. Farther down the line, warm weather for most of next week, changes toward the end of next week, the long range forecast models agree that were going to see this storm system diving down toward the west coast, the european forecast model keeps it here, a little bit closer to us. Which means its going to be significantly cooler late next week. Also with a good chance of rain, it will tap into moisture down south. Also the possibility of snow in the sierra.
