as the days get longer, the jet stream starts to pull up. that's why you see the rain in the bay area. this is february, or everyone january you would see this system a little further south, we would be forcasting rain. we get drier pattern as the days get longer. when you see the fog, it tells you you need the high pressure to stretch out. temperatures on the increase into the 80s as we go into later this week. clouds for tonight and a little bit going on tomorrow morning then some clearing. looks like the coastal gets some clearing on wednesday. a few high clouds drifting in and out. but high pressure firmly where it should be this time of year. this is pretty typical pattern. 76 in antioch, 76 in brentwood. 75 in morgan hill, 73 in santa cruz. so coastal fog when you get up
