chillier out there this morning. this is kind of a cool setup for you. this morning what we're really noticing is a return of those clouds and this area as it continues to get closer and closer. this is going to provide some wind and something else we're seeing this morning, all those clouds, even rushing here in san jose, just painting a spectacular seine rise for you. 46 degrees to kick off the day in san francisco, we're at 46 on the peninsula. regionally temperatures are really mild everywhere except for the north bay. as we get into this afternoon, we'll see another taste of unseasonably warm conditions, running about 10 degrees warmer than average in san jose. getting into your weekend, temperatures continue to drop off. that's good news. if you want to get outdoors, it sill going to be mild enough for
