9:16 am
areas like fremont. you could see a very brief sprinkle, very limited indeed this morning, rainfall totals will stay below a 10th of an inch for the vast majority of the bay area. this low moves through with haste, not wasting its time, allowing a high pressure ridge to build in very quickly behind it. and this will contribute to that drier trend of weather that we have leading through the rest of the week, the weekend and even into next week, too. so pretty calm. and to february, all in all 50's for most of our high temperatures today that makes today easily the coolest day of the rest of the forecast. some of us will rise into the 60's. and that does include the south bay as well as the east and north bay, san jose. 62 degrees for your high today. yeah. upper 50's in the tri valley. while hayward up to oakland hanging out right around that 60 degree. mark oakland likely in the upper 50's napa. you'll be at 63 today while santa rosa at 61. let's look ahead to tomorrow's daytime highs starting to lift further under those mostly
