sunday. we are expecting earlier clearing that will lead to a little bit of a warm up out there. that means maybe a few more low 80s. so sunday will be the warmest day of the weekend. here's a satellite. over the past few hours, and you can pick out the low clouds on the increase near the coast and already pushing back into the bay as we check out the wider view. here is a nice little storm system out here, a nice circulation, but no real rainfall for us. but that cooler air linked up with this will kind of cap our temperatures for tomorrow. here's a live camera looking out toward the golden gate bridge, where we've been watching the fog push back into the picture over the past few hours, and right now we have some low cloud cover. current numbers have cooled off into the 50s across the bay area, except san jose right now checking in 60 degrees, so weather headlines will continue to thicken up the low clouds for tonight for your weekend. some clouds in the morning. we talked about the warm up on sunday and then next week definitely some more clouds and a cool down headed our way. we're thinking the timing for wednesday and into thursday. overnight temperatures starting out. your saturday will be in the upper 40s to the lower 50s.

you can see the forecast models picking up on some of the cloud cover tomorrow morning at 7:00, and then into the afternoon hours. we should have skies becoming eventually partly sunny. here's the eventual temperature range from the 60s to the mid to upper 70s. so we're watching this guy. this area of low pressure. it's going to move in for tomorrow. that'll kind of keep or prevent our temperatures from warming up too much. but then on sunday we'll see this area of high pressure return. and that means warmer temperatures for sunday and into monday. monday should be the warmest day of the stretch, so take a look at the numbers for your saturday. once again, we're tracking the overcast and maybe some drizzle tomorrow morning. 60s for san francisco, oakland 70 degrees and the warmest locations could be approaching the mid to upper 70s. here's your five day and you'll notice temperatures up a little bit into a sunday and monday, probably the warmest day of the stretch. and then next week looks like more clouds, cooler conditions, slight chance of a shower on wednesday, but maybe on wednesday we could be watching out for some more rain chances back in the picture.
