4:05 pm

4:20 pm
larry: you may get a little dip and a rise, spencer christian. spencer: you two have just given me the perfect lead-in. the view can change on a day like this. a few minutes ago, we had a perfect view, and suddenly now, wispy, low clouds as a marine layer is trying to develop. it is being assisted by a rather vigorous onshore wind flow. wind speeds up to about 25 miles per hour at many locations and a cooldown underway with 24-hour temperature change showing virtually all bay area locations several degrees cooler than they were at this time. these little puffy clouds moving out over san francisco, 65 degrees in the city. mid to upper 70's at san jose and palo alto and 59 at half moon bay. nice view at the golden gate where the marine layer has not begun to develop yet. other temperature readings, 86
4:21 pm
degrees in santa rosa. napa stands at 75. low 90's at fairfield and concord, 88 at livermore. you can see that expanding and deepening marine layer, which will continue expanding into the next half-hour as you look at the forecast headlines, the marine layer deepens and expands overnight. and lynn heat returns next week and with some triple digit temperatures -- inland heat returns next weekend with some triple digit temperatures. pretty good chance for some spotty drizzle near the coast line in the early morning hours going into the mid morning hours, so it will be a bit gray tomorrow morning to start the day. overnight low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 50's and high temperatures tomorrow will range from 59 at half moon bay to succeed to in san francisco. in lynn, east bay will be mild, but certainly not very warm. low to mid 80's, mid 70's to low
4:22 pm
80's in the north bay and mainly mid 70's in the south bay. as we look ahead, this cooler pattern will last a few days. we will see high temperatures reaching only about 80, 82 on wednesday in inland areas. same thursday. friday, it starts to warm up. then the heat cranks up as you can see going into next weekend. low to mid inland, the next three days. after friday on saturday, upper 90's to near 100 in the hottest inland spots. sunday, we expect several locations to top out around 102, 103, so it is getting pretty hot over those two or three days, and it eases monday. the good news is it will not last long. that cooldown that starts monday will continue into next week. even though we have a spike in heat and elevated concerns about wildfires and all that, it will
