12:19 pm
popup shower shows up. over in northernlake county, i don't think much is happening yet. but keep an eye if you are up at lakeport or cobb. it's cool for this time of year. what a difference a week makes. 50s and 60s. san jose is only 63 degrees. these are well below average temperatures. should be around 64 to 74. we won't come close to that. out of the west 17 at oakland. concord, 13. that's the direction the wind is coming from. out of the west. fairfield, 16. novato 12. almost everybody is in on this. 14 sfo, hayward, 5. northwest at mountain view -- excuse me. north at mountain view, i expect the breeze to pick up later. why? because there is an area of low pressure. you can see the activity firing up. the low is on its way to northern came and will go over the sierra nevada tomorrow
