6:49 pm
going to be in the mid 70s to the low 80s. there's a live camera shot again as fog trying to form in the marin headlands. the headlands are interesting because they kind of you probably notice if you drive around or been in the bay area long, how the headlands always sort of kind of almost attract fog and low clouds because the, the it's a barrier. and so this moisture coming off the ocean, a west wind gets kind of trapped in there and it sort of sits in there and it keeps getting moisture and moisture and moisture until it cools the atmosphere enough that you get its dew point and you get fog. so headlands create their own like you always hear mountains create their own weather. well, headlands do create their own. their own cloud cover most certainly. and the marin headlands, because it faces southwest, really does a good job with it. these are the temperatures for tomorrow. the forecast highs. so tomorrow is a lot like today a skosh warmer, something like that. but but just a pleasant, pleasant day tomorrow. air quality is good with this pattern. everything's staying to the north and jet stream is just kind of right here. just cruising through and then dipping down, and you can see where it dips down. you get the trough and the green. but for us, we're under the main
