1:28 am
concord, and you're coming down to 92 degrees. so 12 degrees cooler. san francisco, oakland, only a couple of degrees, san jose from 92 to 89, 3 degrees drop. and the reason for this is high pressure is going to start to shift off to the east. this area of low pressure is beginning to take over, which is what is drawing in our cooler air. i do want to show you some warnings that are up for around the state. the sierra red flag warning going up, fire weather watch for parts of northern and southern california. the reason for this is we've already seen the monsoon moisture and thunderstorms over the sierra today. around that high tomorrow. here are the areas that have a risk of lightning. and this is dry lightning. some of it could be wet, but the dry lightning is the concern as to why the fire danger will be elevated. we have a slight risk here, but it's like 5 to 15% chance. just remain aware on live doppler seven you can certainly see the marine layer. also, some high level clouds overhead as we're just getting some of that moisture coming in our direction in the form of
1:29 am
clouds. visibility is low right now in half moon bay down to three quarters of a mile. watch out for that fog. temperatures right now 50s to the 80s as we look at a live picture from exploratorium, you can see the gray skies overnight tonight. mix of fog and clouds for the weekend forecast. we're looking at a cooling trend to continue and early next week near average temperatures. so we go hour by hour tomorrow morning, beginning with some mist drizzle along the coast. a lot of cloud cover, both low and high. and then in the sierra you see those thunderstorms developing in the early afternoon, continuing into the middle to latter part of the evening hours. that's the concern here. so just keep that in mind if you are traveling up there. temperature is 50 to 70 in the morning. the heaviest cloud cover and fog is near the coast. partly cloudy elsewhere tomorrow afternoon. 89 in san jose, 91 in morgan hill in the south bay on the peninsula. you're looking at 81. in redwood city, 60 two half moon bay. these temperatures coming down 65 in downtown san francisco, north bay number is 83, san
