as warm as today and next tuesday. spring starts in the evening. in case you're keeping tabs here comes that fog, that southerly surge coming up the coast, 10 a.m. tomorrow morning. it fills in along the coastline by 4 p.m, so you will notice the difference in the air. and by sunday, we'll have a lot more fog around near the bay, around parts of the delta. so that will also further drop those temperatures. your morning numbers will be in the 40s and the 50s. it's not going to be quite as warm as it was this morning with those winds. so tomorrow morning, not windy, maybe some patches or two, a patch or two of fog near the coast. as you look at the afternoon highs. still going to be pleasant in the south bay 74, san jose 71. in sunnyvale on the peninsula, 70 degrees in palo alto, 62. in half moon bay. some fog in daly city, mid 60s. downtown san francisco 66. north bay. temperatures 72 degrees in santa rosa 69. in san rafael in the east bay 69, oakland 72 fremont. you want sunshine, you want spring. like weather, you got it inland 72 degrees in
