morning temperatures will be in the 50s and the 60s certainly give yourself a little more time, as that fog could slow you down high temperatures with the breezy conditions, lingering clouds mid 60s all the way to the low 80s. so below average for this time of year. now we go into friday and here's what that system is going to do for us. 830 in the morning you start to notice some drizzle friday morning and then the possibility of some showers as we head towards early afternoon. best chance will be in the north bay in the evening on friday. it will stay north of our area for the most part and then early saturday could get one last push of moisture before this system is done. early projections about a third of an inch in ukiah, but for the rest of us, we are looking at anywhere from nothing measurable to a few hundredths of an inch. overall, though, if we do get any moisture, the good news is it would help reduce the fire danger. and of course, with the wind coming in, actually wash away some of the pollen and clean out our air. the accuweather seven day forecast cooling continues. the next couple of days, temperatures bottoming out below average only

in the 60s and 70s friday, when it could turn damp and a slight chance saturday before it warms up and then it turns hotter as we turn up the heat. upper seconds to low 100 seconds. z's baking the house special. arisa's styling a new look. and steve's filling his biggest order ever. with the first ever comcast business five-year price lock guarantee, these business owners get five years of value on gig speed internet and advanced security. all from the company with 99.9% network reliability.
