little chilly! >> it is that time of year! we don't warm-up until it gets to the first day of fall. but we are in for a little bit of a warm-up near the water as we head for the rest of this week. things are beginning to shift a little bit in the upper levels of the atmosphere. the pattern that has brought us cooler than average temperatures for the past few weeks is breaking up a bit. we will see an area of hig pressure closer to the coast, but that means more atmosphere on top of us that will compress the air at ground level and hel to kick off stronger winds higher in the atmosphere. a slower warming trend will kick in as we get past midweek and closer to the end of the workweek. right now looking outside from the mark hopkins hotel, seeing cloud cover in th distance. more of that to start the day tomorrow. cool spots are in livermore, san francisco and santa rosa. one spot is in the 60s, 61 degrees right now i san jose. we will see the fog

and low clouds spreading across the bay and covering most of th bay area to begin the day on ou clouds just off the ground. tha will back up out of the inland valleys as we head towards late morning. it will take a little bit longer coastal parts shld s some sun peeking through. temperatures tonight dropping down to the mid-to-upper 50s , which is normal for this time o year, but high temperatures wil be a few degrees below normal, then several degrees below average. you are supposed to be in the mid-80s and concord in the middle of june and instead will only reach the mid-70s. lo to mid 70s down the peninsula and around the south end of the bay with mid-to-upper 70s in th santa clara valley. mid-to-uppe 70s for most inland parts of th east bay . cooler than average

the warmest spots barely gettin up to 80 degrees when you are supposed to be well into the 80s. 60s around the bay, both san francisco and oakland. low 70s othe y. e mane air will be into the inland parts of the ba and into mendocino county and lake county. the a's have been on a roll, but tomorrow the tak on the tampa bay rays and see i they can keep it going. temperatures will be in the low 60s for first pitch at 6: 40 of the second game of a four-game series, eventually dropping int the upper 50s, so be sure to layer appropriately. enjoy the above-average temperature pattern while it lasts. there is a pretty good chance that as we head into the first days of summer officially we are back t below average temperature pattern overall. temperatures d warm-up back up into the upper 60s in san francisco by thursday, friday and saturday. not quite as warm for father's ov the , buit looks ke
