Talking about there you can see it in the sky view from behind not so bad, the golden gate, its more of a mostly clear image with a little bit of a breeze cooking here with the flag flapping around it will notice satellite radar not too much upstream. Most the series cloud cover is going to remain to the north down to us were going to stay pretty cloudfree for the bulk of the day now, heres what happens with that fog by the way mention clears out pretty quickly well before the noon hour looks like temperatures a bit chilly. This morning weve got 30s up there in the north bay.
