So the fog will scatter out, or the low clouds. Its been inland the past couple of days, but already sunny skies and mild temperatures for our friends over the east bay hills. And we are looking at that delay pattern still at sfo. But that should begin to improve, as well. I want to get you updated on a really disorganized system here that will continue to bring some more rain, while Tropical Weather has been around the hawaiian islands. And with this headed your way.

The southwest wind and the sunny skies all morning long, allowing for some mild numbers. 66 concord and livermore. From our exploratorium camera you see the deck of low clouds here. They are clearing around parts of the bay right now. And that will reveal sunshine with the summertime spread. Temperatures may be a few degrees cooler than average. But tomorrow, as High Pressure begins to build, we will get warmer weather around the bay. Not only the bay, but at our coast. And that will allow for a few 90s to arrive in our inland valleys. So the setup, we are in between two systems. So we have a ridge of High Pressure to the east that will build and a trough of low pressure thats going to stay away. That will allow for the typical ebb and flow of the low fog and the clouds. It will be back later on this evening, but it retreats a little bit earlier each and every day. Thats going to allow for a slow climb in temperatures. So as a result, it should be a warm afternoon getting going here with upper 70s for the 49ers in santa clara, and temperatures into the upper 60s by about 9 00. 81 san jose. Look for about 83 morgan hill. 78 in redwood city. San francisco 69. Up in the north bay weve got mid70s for novato, 78 napa.
