morning. boulder creek one site showing 29 degrees and a lot of neighborhoods starting out the day in the lower 30s. so a big time chill in the air. here is the satellite. we can see kind of get a sense here. we have a big circulation here, a big area of high pressure deflecting all the clouds up and over california. so this dry weather pattern, it's not it's not budging at all. and as far as the winds remember a few days ago we had some gusty winds. right now a calm wind in santa rosa, single digits for concord and in oakland. some more sights for you sfo. a northerly breeze at about five miles an hour in san jose at about three miles an hour. here is our live camera looking out toward the golden gate bridge. and as you can see, looking up to the north, there is a bit of some haze kind of settling in the bay area skies. you might notice that as we have this stable weather pattern in place, there's not too much mixing. so you'll probably notice that with the bay area skies over the next few days. current numbers after that cold start, lots of 50s and some lower 60s. here's the overall weather setup. there's that big area of high pressure. we have this area of low pressure down in southern california. this in

part is setting up the wind pattern. that's why they have those gusty winds for today in southern california. for us though, it's a dry weather pattern, a cold start for the morning hours and a mild afternoon. and really not too much change for tomorrow. now we will bring in some low clouds. not for today, but as you can see into thursday, maybe some patchy clouds approaching our coastline and definitely will increase the coverage first thing friday morning. so we actually might have some overcast first thing friday morning and then once again, maybe some valley fog that could form that could be on the saturday morning. but once again, throughout this period, we are not talking about any chance of rain highs for tomorrow, for this afternoon, i should say in the 60s. and these will probably be the highs for tomorrow as well, mainly in the 60s. so a cold start in the morning hours, kind of a mild afternoon out there. and here's a look ahead. your five day forecast and some minor changes headed our way. no storms but some clouds. first thing friday morning. partly sunny skies into saturday. and then to be honest, into next week. there's a big question mark. so there's one particular forecast model that

wants to generate some strong winds here in the bay area. but it's kind of the outlier. so we'll see if that happens. but definitely any kind of wind at this time of year with a dry weather pattern helping to take it seriously. >> not yeah. all right mark, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> coming up, providing extra support to new parents here in california, the initiative unveiled by the governor that would provide much needed diapers to families of- [music] newborns.
