5:47 pm
late april is really supposed to be like, but is closer to normal in the warm temperatures that we had yesterday. let's take a look at what is happening out there, turn on the cloud cover on our format , here, so you can see the clouds are still hanging on, around the bay and in the north bay but where they have cleared out as well into the east bay and the seneca valley. you can see a similar perspective here on the satellite loop over the past few hours. parts of the bay area did see sunshine emerging but over the bay and along the coast , the cloud cover was remarkably persistent. here is a look at the time lapse this afternoon, from our huckins hotel looking for the east, you can see where the cloud cover is rolling through. persistent onshore breeze, occasional little peaks of blue sky, but that is about the extent of what we saw throughout the day. had a big impact on our temperatures, 15 to 20 degrees cooler for highs today across most of the bay area compared with where we were yesterday. the biggest change was for the inland , we had some highs in the low 80s yesterday. no such luck today. 57 in fremont was the warm spot on the map. 66 degrees in san
5:48 pm
jose, 65 in santa rosa and in concord. 60 in sentences and 59 in half moon bay are pretty close to yesterday's high temperatures as the marine air is making its way in already yesterday afternoon. temperatures tonight dropping down to mostly the low 50s, some of the cooler spots dipping into the lower 40s at highs tomorrow will still be below average, but maybe a couple of degrees warmer than today. i think that we will see just a slightly earlier removal of the clouds from the santa clara valley and inland through the east bay, a mix of middle and upper 50s and a few spots maybe grazing 70 degrees. really we had hardly any of those today. i think antioch did make it up to 71 for the official high, we are about there again tomorrow, 60s and 50s on the coast, half moon bay in upper 50s for the next several days, even as the rest of the bay area warms backup. which the is going to happen. we will see changes later this week, but they will not pick him quite tomorrow. look at the big picture pattern and how things are going to evolve . similar conditions for most of the bay area on wednesday. a lot of clouds with a bit of sunshine, especially for the
5:49 pm
inland, then these two different chunks of storm system will merge off to our east and kick in some stronger wind across the bay area both thursday and friday, and even bring a very slight chance of a couple of showers to the region. a very slight chance. generally what you are seeing on futurecast here is a letter cloud cover with peaks of sunshine trying to make their way through tomorrow afternoon, the clouds the can up again on thursday. if we are going to see a shower, and there is not much green showing up on futurecast, it will be thursday afternoon into thursday evening and thursday night maybe you will see a couple of speckles on the windshield but even the most optimistic forecast models are not forecasting more than a trace of moisture. a few hundreths of an inch and even this is likely an overestimate but i think the system it will still be capable of producing a little bit of snow in the sierra. a couple of inches or so, just enough to freshen up the ski slopes for some late april and early may skiing in terms of the wins, those will be too strong yet tomorrow. noticeable but normal for this time of year. the strongest gusts are going to arrive on thursday, 20 to 30 miles per hour and some 30+ mile-per-hour gusts possible. after that,
5:50 pm
though, we remove the clouds for much of the bay area with temperatures returning to near average. lower and middle 70s inland, through the weekend into early next week as we finished the month of april with a much normal april weather and temperatures return to the middle and upper 60s. so, around the bay with a mix of clouds and sunshine and more clouds right along the coast. you will have a hard time seeing a substantial amount of sunshine with some afternoon sun peeking through the coast through the weekend and early next week but it is not going to warm you up. your height inverters will likely stay short at 60 degrees for the foreseeable future. liz, it is still weather for a wild >> it is always boots weather. >> that's how we measure things here at kpix. >> thanks, paul. time to check what is ahead at the clock and we switch over to juliette. >> thank you. new 6:00 it is a strategy to tackle san francisco's drug crisis. it is not hard to find drug use in broad daylight and neighbors do tell us it is even worse at night, but it is a curfew targeting small
