>> i for sure would have lost. but let's take a look at mount tam. you can see it feels like we're flying through the sky this morning. dave. >> yeah, and you can see that's where the derby holder right there for say that's where the division is, michael, because right above that, the problem is there's dry good that it's up to fog. problem is it's warm hard to get that dense cold air up. even when the sun comes out. it's peeling away. certainly. good morning. it's peeling away a little bit in those inland spots. we're getting heating. but that just brings in more of the coastal air mass, which has a lot of moisture in it. so we're kind of stuck. but again, the west san francisco, near areas near water, although the east bay shoreline will open up a bit. here's yosemite national park. still a little bit of leftover snow. but boy, the melting is in full gear. look at that numbers into the lower 70's. by the time we get to the middle of the week again, back in the home front, we're going continue to see this program again and again, as we see inland heating opens up, that's going to drive the winds which carries and that moisture from the west and all
8:46 am
that marine moisture comes across san francisco in the west and that keeps that fog kind of in place. it just turns right above us, unfortunately, because the air is so warm and kind of fights, the buoyancy, plain states could be quite busy taking down around texas. you can see already severe thunderstorms popping up as we speak. now and the western gulf of mexico. meanwhile, the moisture on the home front. this one talking about earlier, dries out nicely. this that the surface. so you see even overcast at the coast, but because of the strong winds, humidity levels remain very elevated. san francisco, half moon bay, almost at saturation. that's like you're getting some drizzle there in the middle of the day. here comes back again tomorrow morning covering everybody up, peels away, better clearing in terms of drying out the surface, a touch more looks like tomorrow. so might have some hope for some better clearing in the afternoon hours. but we definitely will have morning fog. looks like all week long. that's kind of break this down a little bit here. we have a weak system middle of the week dropping south will get little reduction with temperatures. but this is what we got to keep our eye on. this is that
8:47 am
creature here. look at that. nice low here right there on our doorstep. not a lot of moisture which to play with there. so we don't how much the weight issues. but this thing is great in july, august and september, this actually brings us blue skies that because we have that heat spike. this clears everything out, shuts off the monsoon away. we go. we're not in that part of the season yet. we're still in transition and lately these things up tap into some moisture which gave us rainy weekend. so that will be continue to be monitors. we go for 4 zone forecast. 65 san francisco to the coast. we approached 60 61 pacifica daly city. 62 71 for burlingame to the south. we're looking at 78 san carlos, 79 palo alto, but lower 80's happening down here. even mid 80's for the south bay. 84 san jose cupertino. 82 upper 70's east bay shoreline. part of that is because of the morning fog clouds that have to mix out tri valley. meanwhile, you're looking at the mid 80's, 82 for walnut creek. 84 conquered 68 berkeley. this is a gradient. heat gradient there.
