day, it will be clearing out and also drying out as well. now, we're looking at the radar showing that rain across san jose over towards the tri-valley, and heavier downpours toward morgan hill. that's where we're seeing the problem spots this morning. this will continue to move off towards the east. the rain you had earlier this morning, we're measuring it. within the few hundredths of an inch are trace amounts. we're going to see temperatures stepping out the door in the mid tuper 50s. it feels mild. as we get the sunshine today, it will be about like it was yesterday, but a few spots will be warmer like morgan hill, up to 77 degrees. and gilroy will see a high of 78 degrees. heading over toward the east bay, concord up to 78. while hayward will be at 70 degrees for the high temperature this afternoon. 71 degrees in belmont, and for san francisco, up to 63 degrees. that's in the mission district, and now mill valley will see a
