see winds pick up along the beaches again. so still stronger in point reyes and half moon bay at 20 miles per hour. overnight lows with the clear conditions and lighter winds will lose a lot of heat. so temperatures in the valleys will drop into the mid 40s. in fact, morgan hill down to 46. santa rosa a45. and around the bay you can find low 50s in san francisco, oakland and also in fremont. now, here's the big change. temperatures are going to jump tomorrow by ten degrees in some locations like san francisco's going to be up to 71. it was 61 today. san jose also up from 70 today to 80 tomorrow. even a bigger jump for morgan hill. our warmest spots will hit the mid 80s. morgan hill was 67 today. this is all due to that offshore flow with the north winds and also the sea breeze subsiding as well. now, this warming trend will continue into tuesday and
11:22 pm
wednesday. so tuesday will be a warmer day. we'll see some low 90s through the inland areas. and even though this model shows some mid low 70s in san francisco rather we might even get up to 75 in san francisco. we'll be hot inland mid 90s through fairfield. san jose possibly reaching 90 degrees. then a trough moves in a cooling trend starts on thursday and continues for the next few days. and you'll see that with the accuweather seven-day forecast. finally lighter winds tomorrow. plenty of sunshine overt next few days. temperatures really jump up tomorrow. you'll feel a difference. it will feel like summer. it will continue to climb into wednesday. that's likely when the warmth will peak before things turn around again on thursday. and as the trough moves in we'll see some cooler and windier conditions return for the end of the week. before temperatures start to rebound by sunday. and we'll be closer to normal. so hope you can enjoy the summer weather, grab a hat, sunscreen
