11:17 pm
be did -- different from what we have. we see a time-lapse of a beautiful marine layer coming over alcatraz and you can see leftovers from last week's storm. you have a mix of two different kinds of clouds in our sky today. we will have very few of either of those for the next few days. tomorrow, fewer clouds, not as much in the marine layer and about three or four degrees warmer. watch what happens when we transition. i will skip towards the end of the week. now we look at thursday. the map is shaded into orange . we find yourself back in the 90s. wednesday, thursday and friday the whole second half of this week will be like that. beach is going to 80. a lot of people might love this. and it's not like we are going through a heat wave. we are not breaking records. we have gone
11:18 pm
to 100 in inland valleys of prior but we will be in the 90s. and you have probably started settling into the notion of fall weather because we have been 10 degrees below average and now we kind of whiplash back. there goes the system taking his sweet time as it leaves with the rain. let me show you why now we have to change our perspective. we say goodbye to that trough and would look out here to the pacific and watched -- watch the exaggerated pattern. it has to do one of those exaggerated loops to go up and over what is about to become a very big locking ridge of high pressure right off the coast. so that can warm up the atmosphere on its own but here in the bay in october the way we get warm-ups is if you have offshore wind and that's what we will have. do you see it's been clockwise? if we visualize the wind underneath that, they are getting pulled
11:19 pm
offshore going from the northeast and to the southwest. if we come in for a closer look you will see how those winds are coming across the bay mountains, the northbay mountains from the northeast. this is the forecast into wednesday. those offshore winds will do a number on the humidity. it will be critical. we are not going into extreme fire weather. this is not strong enough to do that, but it will warm up the temperatures and it will take us from below average which is where we have been and look at the visualization going into above average for much of the week. it should also squash the marine layer. probably good news for fleet week. thursday, friday, saturday, sunday. those days should be great. oakland, numbers in the mid-80s. northbay valley, 90s. san jose, low 90s. even the
