today. we saw a little bit of cloud cover this morning. this is one of those mornings where the sun is up and we are getting our day started pretty early. usually we are fogged in until about noon at the coastline. tomorrow will be a completely different story. we are talking about fog lingering all day long at the coastline for tomorrow. if you do live in san francisco, along the coastline, keep in mind this system is headed our way. it's a strong cold front. you can see the center of it swirling. that will make its way to canada. that will move through as we head towards monday and looking at rainfall. we were talking about the half moon bay pumpkin festival both saturday and sunday. check out the large pumpkins. temperatures are going to be very nice. mid to upper 60s. you'll notice tomorrow as that cold front starts to make its way through, more cloud cover. i don't think we'll see more
7:20 am
sunshine tomorrow at half moon bay. therefore, temperatures only near 60. definitely a jacket necessary. you'll notice as we step outside and look at our skycam rah network, plenty of blue sky across the bay area. limited fog and we are not going to see a whole lunch of that as we head through the day today. 80. mid 70s for the east shore and peninsula. even in san francisco, not too bad, lower 70s. let's zoom ahead to tomorrow morning. fog will be with us through most of the day at the coast line. this is tomorrow at 7:00. watch san francisco down towards santa cruz. watch how the fog stays right up against the coastline through the day tomorrow. not a whole lot of sunshine expected. that's going to make way for our next storm system. tomorrow evening with cloudy skies across the bay area, that will mean rain monday morning. most likely around 7:00. santa rosa and down toward the golden gate bridge you'll see the rain first. lunch, east bay, south bay and
