low clouds. got some mist flying with the low clouds. san francisco about to see the clouds rolling in. look at the temperatures out there. it's not hot. obviously today the temperatures have cooled off quite a bit. we're looking at high temperatures across the bay area as we leak at the temperatures around the bay area right now. you'll see our numbers are in the 80s for inland valley. 60 san francisco and oakland. good sea breeze out there reaching fairfield. southwest winds up to 25 miles an hour. and northwest winds in san jose. that's why you saw the smoke drifting away towards downtown. when the winds are strong like this, it stirs up the ground air pollution. no worries about a spare the air day. the fog will be out tomorrow morning. with misty skies around the bay and coast. temperatures are looking cool to start the week. then warming up as we approach next weekend. lots of fog out there around the golden gate. and once again, it was santa
