as well as the north bay this morning. but, also, with the high pressure unhealthy air quality. it's a spare the air alert day for people who are sensitive to the pollutants and particulate matter in the north bay and santa clara valley. watching our air quality as well as the fog and it's very cold out there. no wood burning today but trying to stay warm and the temperatures are starting out in the upper 30s for our microclimates. we are seeing visibility in patches that really dropped quite low but at our airports at about three to four miles across parts of the east bay. in santa rosa right now down to about a quarter of a mile, so watching the viceability change. what we're seeing now is tulle fog in the central valley we really see that develop after the first big rain falls of the season. high humidity, cool temperatures and a calm wind and the high pressure it makes it really low

visibility as the air condenses and we see the fog difficultying through the mountain gaps into the south county and through parts of the tri-valley even into the delta especially as it then starts to drift into parts of the north bay so that's what we're seeing this morning and in those areas it's not going to clear out much so it keeps the temperatures down only in the 40s and low 50s in parts of the east bay, but away from the tulle fog, sunshine and temperatures in the upper 50s. then back to very cold temperatures this time tomorrow morning. asas we go through the forecast throughout the week slight rain chances and there will be some rain just to our north. scattered showers moving through but it looks to stay pretty active the next several days, at least a slight chance of rain and we'll see that on wednesday into thursday. the weekend is looking nice. we have christmas within view
