head in toward wednesday and thursday, we get the return of high pressure and again with high pressure we get that happy weather and dries things out and clears out nicely and warms us up and that is where for sure we're expected to see our first 80s, at least with temperatures that we haven't seen since november 4th and 6:00th of last year. so enjoy the warm temperatures. but heading out to the cherry blossom festival today or tomorrow or in japan town in san francisco, look at how beautiful. san francisco will have more close cover, a combination of sun and clouds but the temperatures warm into the upper 60s, by 2:00, 3:00, talking 68 or 69 and stepping into the 70-degree mark by tomorrow. over the next seven days, a look at what we're tracking. we stay dry and comfortable in through tomorrow and then monday that trough moves in and it drops our daytime highs down by just a bit and it brings the return of chances of seeing a couple of scattered showers into early tuesday morning. by tuesday night you won't
