The cooling will take us into friday and saturday. The onshore breeze is in place and watch the fog go from not much to wham, look at that. Thats a big fog bank for early march. Thats what we have. so, the system to the north is going to usher in even more of a pronounced fog bank tomorrow and maybe give us a little rain saturday morning. It will still be cooler inland. And more clouds cooler. Well take this into the weekend with the possibility of that rain saturday morning. After that, its a little iffy for us.
