And forecast features. Fog and spotty drizzle into tomorrow morning and below average temperatures the next few days and a warmer pattern on sunday. Overnight look for low temperatures in the mid50s. Low 50s in the inland valleys and along the coast. And developing overnight with the forecast animation you could see the fog and low clouds pushing inland and across the bay overnight. Notice the spotty drizzle maybe more than spotty developing along the coast and out over the bay as well during the earlymorning and overnight hours and they will probably be not only reducing visibility for morning commuters but also a couple of damp spots in the roadways as we do expect areas of spotty drizzle. But the drizzle will fade in the Early Morning hours and as the sun burns out burns out the sun burns way the low clouds and fog during the afternoon hours. Mainly sunny skies in the inland areas and over the bay. So well have temperatures in the similar range tomorrow as what we saw today. Warmer in the inland areas on friday. Temperatures drop again on saturday. That is the coolest day in the forecast period. And here is how things shape up tomorrow.

Low 70s around the bay and up 50ers around the coast near 90 on monday, tuesday and wednesday. Upper 70s to near 80 around the bay those three days and low 60s on the coast.
