Tuesday night into wednesday here comes the next system. Anywhere from. 2 to maybe a third of an inch and then we dry out after that. Highs today looking at numbers from about 62 up in point reyes, 64 San Francisco. Looking for mid60s san mateo, and if you head inland, slightly warmer. Partly cloudy skies, 68 in concord, 67 in san jose with mid60s on the coast down toward santa cruz.
