Ive got good facial hair when i go with three days. This is one day. Lets get a look at the marine layer offshore. Its pretty strong and keeping that coastline cool with plenty of widespread 60s. Also some 50s in bodega bay. One of the warmer spots was santa cruz but eventually well get some of the best beach weather by this weekend. Its going to be very isolated in santa cruz. Temperatures will be in the mid70s, also a decent amount of sunshine so go ahead and start planning for that first half of the weekend if you do want to get out to the coastline. Otherwise a first look at our wednesday forecast, well be fogged in at the coast. Low clouds for the bay and the interior valley. Its not going to be too widespread in inland but waking up with some sort of cloud cover and temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. Also on the mild side throughout 11 00 a. M. Lets get you outside to that High DefinitionSky Camera Network and this shows the problems that we have right now. We had this inversion layer up to about 3,000 feet and thats capping off all of the particular matters in the atmosphere. Thats why its hazy. If you suffer from respiratory problems, allergies, its very difficult on you right now. In San Francisco, some of that haze from that moderate air quality is with us. But heres the thing, up into the north bay, winds out of the south hoping to scour out some of the poor air quality and some of the best conditions right now across north bay, including san rafael with very blue skies. So the thing thats helping to lead to this poor air quality is the fog at the coastline of the its just kind of overriding some of this air and keeping it pretty stagnant. As we go throughout tomorrow, again, well see all counties highlighted in our fog factor forecast. Everyone waking up with some sort of low cloud cover and youre still locked in at the coastline tomorrow with that fog. As we mentioned again, by saturday it looks like well get that marine layer mixed out and a decent amount of sunshine expected at our coastline. Otherwise as we head throughout wednesday well see numbers just slightly below average. One of the most widespread warmer spots will be the south bay. 83 in los gatos, low to mid80s in evergreen, santa teresa, gilroy to 82. Not too bad for you in the east bay. Temperatures in the low 80s for tomorrow. 80 in danville, 80 in pleasanton, also 83 in livermore. You get close to the bay and you can see that huge contrast, just a slight onshore wind. 76 in castro valley, 68 in alameda and 72 in hayward. 66 in San Francisco. Also 72 in sonoma and 75 in napa. If youre headed to the coastline, another cool one. Bodega bay at 76 degrees. The pattern will stay very stubborn. Air quality expected at moderate levels as we head throughout the next 24 hours, so if you do suffer from allergies or respiratory problems, you may want to limit that outdoor exposure, at least for the next 24 hours. Then i think by friday, saturday and sunday that air quality will improve and well also see much clearer skies as we head into this upcoming weekend. So thats great news for us. Ive got to get working on growing the beard. It might take you a while. Yeah, a couple weeks. Youre up for the challenge. Well, i dont know if im going to commit to that on air, guys.

Starbucks is combining two essentials, coffee and charging your phone. Well show you the experimental project in the bay area next. Its really a good combination. Coffee and smoeartphones. Two essentials in life. And now starbucks is trying to cash in. Scott budman got charged up and heavily caffeinated for this story. Reporter if you go to enough coffee shops and talk to enough people, you hear a familiar complaint. Not enough plugs, too many devices. Here is a way to solve the problem, by dropping it. It happens every day. You walk into a coffee shop to get work done. Sometimes you can find a plug, sometimes you cant. Soon youll be able to go cordless to power up by simply putting your phone down.

It wont cost extra but may bring extra business to starbucks as we wait and charge. Think of it as a new technology dividend, giving the customers what they want, even if theyre not plugged in. The power mat and starbucks will roll out the tabletop charging gradually starting here in the bay area. I should mention that for now you have to buy a case for your phone that can pick up the charge. That can cost around 50, begging the question is it worth it. Not sure. At t is developing phones that will automatically pick up the charge, so as it rolls out into more stores, it will work with more phones. Back to you guys. Can you drink your coffee through your phone, i wonder . Thats next. I was going to say yes. That would be magic. Hello. Thats a great story. Thank you, scott.
