Storm Tracker Forecast: Cloudy but toasty end to your work week
Toasty temperatures are on the way for your Friday afternoon, but we'll have a drop in temperatures on the way for your weekend. There will also be a chance for showers in a limited portion of our region, and stronger winds will bring a return of elevated fire danger.

Make sure to dress for another toasty afternoon across northern California as you're getting ready to head out the door this morning. High pressure is still bringing the dominant influence to our forecast today, but thin clouds have already spread across our region as an area of low pressure approaches the Pacific Northwest. The thin blanket of clouds has helped to keep our temperatures very mild overnight. Valley and foothill areas are starting out in the 50's to 60's, and our mountain zones are in the 30's to 40's at 5am. We'll continue to have thin clouds overhead through the day. Skies will be partly cloudy in the foothills and most valley areas, and mostly cloudy in the far north valley, and our higher elevations this afternoon. Winds will end up out of the south or southeast up to around 10mph again today. The clouds overhead and modest south breeze will likely keep many areas from getting much hotter than Thursday, and most cities are actually projected to drop by a degree or two compared to Thursday's projections. Valley areas will top out in the upper 80's to lower 90's, foothill areas will end up in the mid 70's to mid 80's, and our mountain zones will top out in the lower 70's to lower 80's this afternoon. The thin clouds aren't expected to go away today, but there won't be any showers from them.
