Visibility being reduced in the north bay. Still fog there from santa rosa to petaluma. As you look at this system, you know, you see the clouds. You think, okay, maybe we are going to see some rain, but it keeps pushing into dry air and a ridge of High Pressure. So not even getting a glancing blow with these next few systems. 2 1 2 mile visibility santa rosa, three quarters mile petaluma. Just of the cloud cover and the mild conditions and, in fact, tomorrow will be much, much sunnier as High Pressure continues to build in. And it will warm us up another t the numbers now, warmer conditions on the coast in San Francisco, 52 degrees. Its 48 for you in oakland and Mountain View. 49 san jose, morgue helisitting at 47 degrees. And a live look outside from our roof camera. Looking pretty good with the sun coming up at 6 45. 42 in santa rosa. Its 43 in napa with 44 by the delta. Upper 40s for you in concord. Novato sitting at 46 degrees. So a little change from yesterday to today. We will be in and out of the clouds. We call it partly to mostly cloudy. And with the mechanics of clouds and sun, it should be very mild once again with numbers above our averages by about 5 degrees or so. But then tomorrow gets even warmer. So thats going to be the forecast for most of the week with the ridge beginning to break down, looks like by wednesday. So as we go through the morning hours, you will notice cloud cover here, some sunshine on and off. So overall we call it mostly cloudy. Week ahead looking very, very mild for you. San jose average hes should be 64. Today above that at 69. But look what happens tomorrow. 77 degrees. So thats full sunshine and 73 follows on tuesday with mid70s on wednesday. This should be the coolest day of the week. And thats really our only opportunity for rain this week, on thursday. Then by friday and saturday temperatures will rebound. This all could change between now and thursday. But the chance of rain looks very slight. We are going to keep it in the forecast. And hopefully wondering and hoping that perhaps it verifies. But this week overall looking very mild in Southern California. 77 degrees today for the oscars at 2 00 and staying in the mid70s by 4 00. Partly to mostly cloudy today. 70 concord and livermore. Sunnier and milder tomorrow. A few clouds in the north bay on tuesday. Wednesday still 60s and 70s wednesday into thursday.
