11:21 pm
notice all the mild numbers up in the north bay, 65 in sonoma, 68 in vallejo. we will continue to drop off throughout the overnight hours around the bay shore, so it will be comfortable, but it's going to really take towards morning triple digit heat returns inland tomorrow, and that always brings the concern of the dry fuels and the breeze coming through the delta, hopefully not igniting any fires, but it's always on our mind this time of year as we get drier and drier, and then by later on in the week, the temperatures will come down to below average and we'll begin to recover. in terms of relative humidity, we were down to about 24% today in our inland valleys. the next few hours, a coastal flood advisory and the full moon yesterday. and so those low lying areas will see some minor flooding, 6.5ft tide there. that's the high tide, about ten minutes to 1 a.m. and then this will begin to recede. so as we look at the overnight lows with those 70s, it is a warm night in antioch, upper 60s concord, livermore and back into the low
11:22 pm
to mid 50s from half moon bay to san francisco. so compared to today to tomorrow, we're warmer anywhere from a degree or so to about seven degrees. so notice we're at 102 in concord, probably 103 in livermore, mid 90s santa rosa, low 90s san jose. and as we look at the sea breeze, the winds are coming out of the south. and so that will initiate the breeze throughout the delta. but it's still going to be hot there. we will be milder around the bay but still hot. this is a look in the next seven days from livermore, 103 to 99 on wednesday. look at that drop off by the end of the week into the 80s and then upper 70s. so 102 tomorrow in concord, 103 in livermore and antioch, with upper 70s oakland, mid 90s santa rosa, about 9394 in san jose and the accuweather seven day forecast. we're looking at temperatures coming down a bit on wednesday after the hottest day tomorrow. look at the cool down back to the low 80s over the weekend, then slightly warmer by the time we get to next week. a
