Temperatures in the 60s and this afternoon sea breeze getting a little gusty at times, if youre in one of the favorite areas throughout the coastal gaps. Otherwise like i said, its been pretty nice out there, especially inland, where weve seen the heat well far to the east, and in fact, yes, one of the areas that we do see that is around the delta, where temperatures can get as much as triple digits but because of that, the cooler trend, were not seeing that, and this is the reason why.

By the delta, we have wind gusts up to 30 miles an hour and that is going to allow for the temperatures to stay right around 90 degrees, not getting too hot, in fact we could be well above that this time of year. 59 in concord. Santa rosa at 55, and finally a view from santa cruz, where numbers will be topping out right around 70 today with some sun.

Today were averaging in the mid60s, average high 66, otherwise anywhere from two to three degrees warmer than average and you see today over in livermore at the airport, maybe about 92 degrees.
