around the bay, mid- 70s and right at the shoreline probably mid-60s will do it with patchy low clouds. but we have high pressure holding that's down in the desert southwest. this low that's been plaguing us for weeks has pulled back to the west enough and far enough to the north so it's relaxed its influence over the bay area. as a result, that high pressure dominates and we'll look at above
