So with that in mind, here you go. High pressure bringing you one last day of sunshine. You can already see a lot of clouds moving through southern california. But then this low is going to start to approach the coastline so the clouds are going to be on the increase throughout the day today.

So it looks like things are going to be unsettled and possibly wet as we head into the next 48 hours. Maybe an inch of rain in the santa cruz mountains. Half inch of rain in San Francisco. And almost threequarters there into santa rosa. So look toward the afternoon, enjoy the dry day. Sunshine and high clouds drifting in temperatures into the 60s.
