6:30 in the morning you do notice you have that fog banked up right along the coastline. and it will sit there for much of the morning. that's going to slow the warming process tomorrow especially close to the coast. and that's going to bring those cooler afternoon highs. so overnight tonight we'll continue to fall slowly into the 50s. so for this time of year this is pretty mild night for late april numbers. clouds along the coast, mainly clear skies elsewhere. and then tomorrow about a 5 to 8 degrees cooler compared to today. so high about 67 in the sate, 72 in both san mateo and oakland. about 81 in santa rosa. about 72 in richmond, 80 in concord, 78 that high in san jose. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast for the next seven days for you. a cooler afternoon on the way tomorrow, and that trend does continue into monday as well. however, we do have a quick spike in our temperatures tuesday. a one day affair with some hot
