6:24 pm
it was still noticeable with mostly clear skies tonight. the little bit of cloud cover won't hold warmth near ground level. temperatures will drop down to the 40s, patchy fog developing by early tomorrow morning. that shouldn't last very long in any particular spot. with sunshine taking over, our temperatures will warm up very nicely by tomorrow afternoon. let's look at the forecast highs and we'll make it up to what's normal for this time of year, 67 degrees in san jose, a degree cooler for los gatos and morgan hill. inland temperatures mid- to upper 60s, mid-60s bayside and fremont and in redwood city, upper 50s for half moon bay. it's where you're supposed to be. low 60s in san francisco with mid-60s for oakland and temperatures in the north bay reaching into the mid- to upper 60s. all these numbers are within a degree or two of average from late march. take advantage of the near average temperatures tomorrow. get your dog some exercise including a very festive looking comet getting gussied up before the easter holiday. those ears will

6:26 pm
orange tiles late wednesday afternoon into wednesday evening when the wind gusts are more likely to get into the 20 to 30-mile-an-hour range, not strong enough for a wind advisory or threat, but strong enough to move you around the roads a bit and the rain picks up in intensity as the next storm system moves in. the first one about a 0.1-inch to a quarter inch on a widespread basis, but for friday the weather prediction center outlined a marginal risk basically saying widespread flooding isn't likely, but some flood prone areas may have a little concern. let's look at the seven-day forecast. after tomorrow we can round things off for the entire bay area because tomorrow we have a 10 to 12-degree temperature spread from the coast to farther inland. after that everybody is on an even playing field as rain chances return, temperatures running 7 to 8 degrees below normal, including easter sunday. it's what
