5:20 am
air tomorrow and tuesday night at 8:30. so lisa, are you all set, are you all ready, ready, set, go! ready or not. >> well, beginning to feel definitely more like the season with the chilly air. we are down to 33 degrees in santa rosa. so contrast that to nearly 50 in san francisco, so once again, wildly ranging temperatures around the bay, much milder. 7:00, the official sunrise, and we will be looking at another mild afternoon. unfortunately, the drying continues, although the flow is becoming more onshore. we're seeing less and less of the northeasterly component. 51 year downtown, 42 in oakland, so we're looking at numbers around 40 degrees. redwood city, 44, half-moon bay, 39 degrees. you are 54 this time yesterday morning. emoriville, look at all the 30s. freezing in santa rosa, 35 napa, 36 navado.
5:21 am
even concord to the upper 30s. livermore, 30 degrees. forecast highlights, chilly to the north, coastal clouds from san francisco, across the golden gate, into the north bay. sunny and mild for the next several days. looks like now instead of becoming likely rain wednesday and thursday, we're back to more of a chance, so still looking like it's changeable and i'll explain why in a minute. the weather that brought the rain and snow to southern california, moving east. with high pressure dominating much of the west coast, we are sunny and mild again today. and here is the outlook then for thanksgiving. it's a cut-off low and the further it stays offshore, obviously, the less chance of rain we have. now it is looking like it's going to stay offshore, but we're still keeping the chance of showers in the forecast for wednesday and thursday, because things do change, but not as robust and not as promising as it was a couple of days ago.
5:22 am
so we'll keep an eye on that for you, but in the meantime as high pressure continues to build, we'll have another pleasant day today with fair skies. and look at the numbers, we're talking low 60s half-moon bay, san francisco, 62. head up to the north bay, from freezing to 65 in santa rosa, so certainly mild this afternoon. 64 in concord, fremont, morganhill. san jose, numbers in the mid 60s. here's the seven day forecast with temperatures ranging from 60 at the coast with the sea breeze. on monday, no changes there, as well as tuesday. wednesday, we're looking at just a chance of rain that continues into thanksgiving and perhaps maybe thursday morning, but otherwise, a ridge builds back and that means more fair weather friday and saturday. so not looking too promising, just the cooler weather will be with us for thanksgiving. abc 7 news is another great weather resource for you to
