We have another type of moisture lookout for way upstream here. This is the monsoon that starts to bubble bubble up this time of year. And suppose it makes it out here gives us some rain occasionally but for the sierra were talking about just a little bit its going to increase the humidity levels a little bit but it does show up in the forecast models this is the low level moisture there evaporates away mixes out boom, theres the monsoon moisture off to the far east and then we do the same thing again with the fog returning onshore winds and such little flare up happens on friday, this is typical in the summer months and that very modest effort you can see by friday now we get into the weekend. We got a little warming phase coming our way as well yes, heres how it shakes down this is the bay bridge toll plaza still overcast off to the distance. Morning fog, no kidding scattered afternoon clouds linger a bit warm now and then for friday much the same or talking about inland areas in some cases reaching to about 90. But most pay of places not getting there that will do so by this weekend lower to middle 90s expected.
