wednesday night into thursday. dense fog then sunny and warmer. wednesday though looks to be even like less fog. more of a north breeze which should take care of some of this fog. it's already beginning to show signs of it. but north at 3 napa. north-northeast concord right now it's just bringing back in the fog from the valley. 40s for everybody again. hayward down to 43. if you get in an area where it's clear temperature drops even colder livermore was 39 now 43. 20s for some. 48 sacramento. big difference there. redding with the clouds 54. we are seeing a little hint of a pattern change here in the form of that system moving into the north and behind that looks to me like i think we'll get a helping along of this fog getting out of here but that won't be until tomorrow. today we have dense fog then sunny. breezy, sunny on wednesday. sunny to mostly sunny thursday and friday. okay. sounds good. sarah palin is not backing down. her response to critics who say her campaign rhetoric may have helped motivate the gunman in

for some. not everyone but some. sunny today. cool to warm. slightly warmer unless the fog decides to hang around. tomorrow not as much fog. we'll take that into thursday as well. sunny and breezy as we get more of a northerly wind and break up the fog and stir it up. more sunshine, keeping us dry little or no rain. probably no rain until maybe early february. dense fog then sunny today. but as that system dives down from the pacific northwest that will start to kick up the wind and we get what's called mixing. and when you get some wind the fog cannot form. so decrease in the fog as we head into wednesday and thursday. breezy and warmer. a lot of 40s right now. there are a few upper 30s. livermore 43. concord in there. santa rosa 44. hayward at 43. san jose our target forecast. some thick fog. 47. 57 a high of 61. i think it was only like 59 out towards the hill view airport yesterday. for some areas it's a little warmer. for others it stays on the cool side. 48 in sacramento.

tahoe 23. south lake tahoe was 61 yesterday. a record high in reno with 66 also a record high and it's hot. i mean it's hot down in southern california. near 90 for pasadena yesterday. santa barbara was 87. ucla was 86. los angeles 84. and san diego 82. little closer to home big sur was 81. high pressure will continue to keep everything deflected to the north. that system may give us a few high clouds. it's also going to stir up the fog but not until probably tonight into tomorrow. our forecast does have some of that thick fog out there. so dense fog then sunny. by this afternoon cool to warm. highs can go anywhere from 50 to 70 degrees. tonight a little breezy. and i think we'll only see patchy fog. so 54 fairfield. 64 santa rosa. 57 richmond. san francisco, pacifica 62. 70 santa cruz. 61 pleasanton. half-moon bay 63.
