afternoon hours down to 51 at 8:00. for the north bay, we'll start in the 40s and stay there through 10:00. we'll hit the low to mid-50s. down to 46 degrees. as far as san francisco goes, pretty steady temperatures. 50 this morning to 54 at 2:00 to 4:00. 51 under stars and clouds at 8:00. in the east bay, 50 at 8:00. look at all the cloud cover. they will thin out a little bit from time to time. the sun will make you squint once in a while. 57 degrees at 4:00. if you plan to be outside on the peninsula, we start at 49 at 8:00. we end up at 48 at 8:00 this evening. in between, about 50 to 54 degrees. maybe cooler than average. but it's going to be dry today. tomorrow, that all changes. i'll show you that coming up. i want to bring in alexis for the commute. >> good morning.58ound8th avenu. we still have t t sig-alert for
