pretty impressive 2 to 5 degrees warmer in virtually all bay area locations than at this time yesterday. so let's take a look at current readings 66 here in san francisco right now oakland, 63 mid 60s at hayward. and san jose, and low 60s at san mateo and half moon bay. nice view of the western sky from emeryville. all the temperature readings at this hour. 68 up north at santa rosa, petaluma only 6165 at napa and concord, and low 60s at fairfield and livermore. and another nice view of the western sky. these are our forecast headlines. we'll have more spring like warmth tomorrow with increasing clouds on tuesday just ahead of a bit of rain that's coming in. so wednesday through friday, expect rainy and sharply cooler weather for the end of the week, but for tonight, we're looking at just a little bit of an increase in high clouds, which will disappear after about 10 p.m, giving us clear skies through the overnight hours and into tomorrow. so it will be a nice, beautiful, sunny and warmer than average day again tomorrow. overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the upper 40s and our inland areas, and about 5051 degrees around the bay shoreline

and on the coast. and then tomorrow look for highs of 66 at half moon bay, 67 here in the city, oakland 69 and some other bay shore locations will warm up into the low 70s tomorrow. getting close to record territory. but not quite there. up in the north bay, we'll see 70 at napa, 72 at santa rosa, inland east bay, mainly upper 60s, but about 73 at livermore down in the south bay. san jose will top out at 76 degrees. now let's take a look at our future cast going through the midweek to see what kind of weather is coming our way. as i mentioned for tonight, just a few passing high clouds. but on tomorrow evening into tuesday we'll see clouds increase rather dramatically and by wednesday we'll have a fairly significant storm moving onshore, bringing us periods of heavy rain and downpours and some well, probably some localized. flooding in low lying areas because our ground is saturated from a recent rains. here's the accuweather seven day forecast on tuesday. as i mentioned, increasing clouds. wednesday, rainy and windy. a level two storm on the exclusive abc seven

storm impact scale. so that's a storm of moderate intensity. but once again, with already saturated soil, it could be problematic. the rain that will come on wednesday with showers following on thursday. a level one storm, more showers on friday, another level one storm. partly cloudy and dry. it's looking so far for next saturday, but there was a very good chance of more rain or showers next sunday, so we are in a wet and unsettled. as we like to say in the wonderful world of weather. >> and today feels wonderful, that's for sure. yeah, we do have wonderful weather. yeah. all right. spencer. thank you. okay. all right, let's get to chris alvarez now. joining us live
