wind sheltereduld b kind le high pressure, once again. this has been the usual scene that we have had all winter long. and beautiful shot of that full moon out there. no wind really yet here. but we are looking at the upper elevations that will show you those pretty moderate gusts. 43 in san jose. mountain view is at 40. 44 in san francisco and it is 46 in half moon bay and there is a look at the pier where you'll notice that the wind is a little bit breezy out there in spots and we will look for the strongest winds, perhaps over 50 miles an hour above 2,500 feet. it's 43 in santa rosa and 34 in napa and feels like it's 30 in spots with wind by the delta and 36 in livermore and finally from mt. tam here, beautiful view. and looking at that sun setting at 6:01. so, another two weeks and we will be getting that extra hour of daylight.

monday little change out there, maybe a few clouds and then by tuesday, still looking at a spring-like scenario. but as we go through the next several days, the ridge still in place here. that's why we continue to see the dry weather but by the end of the week, come friday and saturday hopefully looking at that ridge pushing away and allowing for just a little bit of rain perhaps coming into the bay. highs today from the mid and upper 50s downtown towards the coast. so, kind of gusty there with 63 in fremont. 65 in concord today and the valley there certainly windy at times and the accuweather seven-day forecast with the gusty winds. going to feel a little cooler than those low to mid 60s. tomorrow it will feel warmer and partly sunny and wednesday we're still looking dry and then by the end of the workweek we'll cool it off and bring in that chance of rain as we get into friday and saturday. so, we're beginning to be grateful for just what little bit comes our way because, yeah,
