6:49 am
temperatures will be in the low 60s by 6:00 at oracle. but check out this. this is tropical storm jova interacting with the system in the upper levels of the atmosphere, creating some thunderstorms to the south of us. and wow, this is just an incredible sight here are some of these producing rain. but anytime you have cloud to ground lightning, not a good thing, obviously, in california, but we will be looking at the chance s of a few showers, a thunder storm here from monterey, san benito county as a red flag warning is in effect. and a southerly surge from that hurricane allowing for dangerous rip currents right around santa cruz. so the red flag warning until noon time. it could be extended into the evening hours just to the south of us. we've got sunny conditions, but some dense fog at the coast. and you can see the marine layer here, sales force at about 1076ft. and this is well below that. and already looking at mostly sunny conditions for most of us, 56,
