viewing or looks pretty good going into tonight. might have a little in the way of some fog to start things off. and then that clears out yet again along the coast. be careful. it will be chilly with those onshore winds today and tomorrow and a slow clearing will make that even colder. so there's a secondary system play out that we get high pressure early into next week. yeah, that warms things up a little bit for us. and then we cool back down again towards the end of the weekend next weekend. but that looks to be does not much to work with. we're starting to get later in the season. so that's more typical. 61, san francisco along the coast will do the upper 50's to near about 60 62 for burlingame to the south foster city. 64 along with palo alto in the south bay mid-sixties east bay shoreline mid 60's along with tri valley, maybe popping 67 walnut creek. 68 for concord. we'll be about 70 tomorrow. 62 for berkeley. allay comes in. 63. 69 fairfield, 67 for napa and santa rosa at 6 . so there you have it. nice. warm up for
