They are stalling here off to the north. And it is all because of High Pressure to the south. Acting like a big shield across california. Keeping that rain fall away. As those storms try to get close, a lot of the dry air associated with High Pressure breaking those storm systems up. Again no clans of any major rain fall this weekend. But we cant rule out isolated showers. So lets take you into the micro climate forecast throughout saturday. You can see it is dry in the south bay. Cloud cover through saturday temperatures in upper 60s for the most part. Check it out at morgan hill. That can be one of the spots that has the most sunshine on saturday and warmest temperatures. It is staying cloudy here in palo alto. Likely drizzle and the same scenario continuing off and on throughout San Francisco. Not totally a wet day but again the chan of a few rain drops. You can see in the north bay, east bay and tri valley. Highest risk of possibly a few drops of drizzle, at Napa Santa Rosa and mill valley. Temperatures in low 60s. For east bay, oakland is the possibility as well. Dry tomorrow also temperatures little bit of the warmer side. Still a light jacket. 69 expected in pleasanton. So when it comes to your weekend forecast on saturday and sunday. If you want the two driest locations, that is going to be right here across the south bay and also for the tri valley. Temperatures in mid to upper 60s. San francisco and off to the north bay, thats again where saturday and sunday keeping a chance of isolated drizzle in the forecast. Not the sunniest of week ends.
