This is hard on their families, too, they have to be away from home from their families poy ie months. The worst of the worst times, we are in the fall season, more in the way of high fire danger. By the end of the week not only are we talking about an offshore flow, which could bring those gusty offshore winds, drying out the atmosphere, but we also could see a few showers so a little complicated, ill explain in a moment. Doesnt look likely, but the possibility is there, and this is the season where cold fronts become more prevalent in the pacific northwest, and whether or not they slip to the south is if we get lucky to see any sort of rainfall, as we look at live doppler 7 right now, you can see some fog offshore there, overall it is just patchy, and of course, this is the time of year where we dont see a whole lot of fog but as we look towards the pacific northwest, looks kind of active and it is, all of this is pointed into the gulf of alaska, the pacific northwest, but we could get a tail end of one of these systems by late thursday into friday, but even the beginning of the week, it will influence our weather. As we look at current numbers, its 61 in concord. 57 in san ramon. 52 santa rosa novato. 59 in San Francisco with 54 in Half Moon Bay. Its a little cool along the coast, about 7 degrees cooler, elsewhere two to five degrees cooler around the bay. As we look at the fog impact in the next several days, today it lines up along the san mateo coast. We get into your monday, very little once again, a little bit of patchy fog, say south of Half Moon Bay, and here comes that next system. Notice the higher clouds monday into tuesday, and more of a marine layer. Well pick up on that in just a moment. As we look at the air quality, looks pretty good right now. You can see a little bit of haze there, moderate air quality towards vacaville. It has improved up in the north bay and that will continue to be the trend, as our onshore flow continues. So here is a look at what i was getting at, the first system coming into play. Here we are later on in the day today. Still a slight northerly wind. Into your monday and tuesday theres that first system going into the pacific northwest. Brings us more healthy de of low clouds and fog. As we get into wednesday and thursday, here is the next system, check it out. It is bringing rain to the pacific northwest, but by friday, it gets awfully close to the bay area, and still bringing that northerly wind, so we could see a little bit of precip and behind it maybe the northerly wind pickup. 79 in oakland. Look for 8 1 fremont. 85 in san jose with upper 80s in the north bay. A little hazy to start out there, 91 in livermore p 92 in antioch.
