9:21 am
tuesday. and then as we get into a breezy and cooler pattern at the end of the day week, maybe some sprinkles around. but behind that pattern we're looking to warm up again. you can see the air quality from napa to concord and oakland with just moderate air quality. but in fremont, yes, looking a little bit better as well as redwood city and santa cruz. so santa cruz right now, moderate air quality around the bay area. as the flow increases it will improve the air quality throughout the workweek. there is the fog today. there it is tomorrow. and then you notice some higher clouds. there's a system associated with that. that first one that's going to bring rain to the pacific northwest, that cools us off, expands our marine layer. temperatures dropping a bit to start the week. but then as we get into the end of the week, we have another system. that's going to switch our winds around it looks like to an offshore component. still very far out. but something worth watching for sure. 91 in livermore, 85 in san jose, 88 and hazy in santa rosa.
