clouds. golden gate bridge. 52. it's 5 in nevado. upper 50's in concord and livermore. about 72 today with the sun coming in to play throughout the afternoon. low clouds and fog with that patchy drizzle this morning. mild to warm days through the weekend and then looking at clouds for the 4th. the even along the bayshore. we are looking at once again that really well defined man reason layer it'll get more compressed in to the workweek after the 4th and then a heat wave looks like it'll ensue. at this point a little too early to tell if we are going to look at that heat along the shoreline. we will keep you posted but enjoy the cooler weather. the seasonal temperatures. you can see the fog there still with us throughout the midmorning. 1:30 it pulls back but we have

dear ms, from day one you've tried to define me. but i never invited you in. it's my life and this is my journey. i've found a way to do things differently with ocrevus, an infusion treatment that's 2-times-a-year. for adults with relapsing or primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, ocrevus is proven effective in reducing relapses in rms and slowing disability progression in rms and ppms. don't take ocrevus if you've had a life-threatening allergic reaction to it, or have hepatitis b. tell your doctor about vaccinations or if you've had hep b, as it could come back. a common side effect of ocrevus is infusion reactions, and some may require hospitalization. it can increase your risk of infections, which can be serious, and may decrease certain types of immunoglobulins. while pml was not reported in clinical trials, it could happen. an increased risk of cancer, including breast cancer, may exist. sorry, ms. you don't get to control every part of me

ms can't own us. ask your doctor about two-times-a-year ocrevus. something fun and free for the whole family to support the
