Dragon spacex separation confirmed. They are set to attempt a rare splashdown in the gulf of mexico around 11 45 our time this morning, the first splash down for astronauts in 45 years but they have just 48 hours of oxygen and nearby Tropical Storm to contend with. The teams are working hard with the dynamics of the weather over the next few days around florida, and we appreciate those efforts, because i know those decisions and that work isnt easy. The weather is looking the most favorable off the coast of pensacola in florida. The astronauts will also be bringing home that now famous look at it, glitte dinosaur, chosen by their son. That is really cool for their kids to get that dinosaur that went up in space and lisa, i know youre a big fan of watching bob and doug. Love them, and you know, youre right. The gulf coast there looking much better as that Tropical Storm is hugging the atlantic coast, and not only is it going to affect florida, but its going to move all the way up the midatlantic and affect the northeast, so its going to hold together. We have warm water in the atlantic, but it is not a hurricane anymore. Well get to that in just a moment, as we look at live doppler 7, theres fog up in the north bay, down the peninsula, across to the east bay. Its clear and concord and livermore and its cloudy in san jose. So we are looking at fog that will begin to erode back into the coast like it has been each and every day. Here comes the rain into miami and you can see the raggedness to this system here, usually we have that welldefined eye but theres dry air and wind sheer coming into the storm, downgraded to a Tropical Storm with winds of 65 miles an hour but look at the trajectory, going to bring storm surge, heavy rain along the coast and as it moves up through the carolinas, it may make landfall around south, North Carolina border and then look, it continues to move up along the east coast from perhaps new york into long island, so its going to be quite an issue as we go into say tuesday and even tuesday night. So well watch for flooding and certainly the high winds and the storm surge. Sutro tower camera indicates that stable air, that warmer air above and cold air at the surface, the upwelling we have going for us, Mother Nature bringing in the air conditioning today. 55 San Francisco. 60 oakland. 55 in half moon bay.

The low cloud deck reaching a little bit further this morning. Heres san mateo, a nice view of the sky line. You can see the clouds there. Low clouds this morning, the wide range today and the cooler pattern arriving not tomorrow but for tuesday. So looking at the highs today anywhere from the low 90s in livermore to the mid90s out by the delta. Nice afternoon in oakland, mid70s, how about 79 palo alto. 83 in san jose so similar to yesterday, low 90s arriving in santa rosa. We get into the 60s but then these winds will kick up to near 30 miles an hour. So the accuweather sevenday forecast looking at not only the Sunny Afternoon and the warm weather today, but well take it for another day tomorrow, with 70s around the bay, low 90s inland, and the cooling trend as that trough sets up to the north, its going to send in cooler air, expand the marine layer, bring the mist and drizzle and going to take a little while to recover and when we do, its just to readings where we should actually be for this time of year. So it could be a lot hotter, we know that, and its good, because we saw the fire down into southern california, so as we like to say around here, still kind of stratus quo.
