1:59 am
shower. most of the showers move south and across the bay. again, showers and storms with the warm front. that's a small price to pay for temps in the 80s. all right, warmer on tuesday. a few showers on tuesday. especially in the morning and also in the early afternoon. we're looking at temperatures by wednesday and thursday with showers a little bit cooler. okay? a little cooler on wednesday. still warm. and then a little cooler on thursday as the warm front goes back to the south of us. it goes back to the north again and we're very warm again on friday. so overnight, looks like this. mostly cloudy. mild. couple of showers possible. low temperatures in the 50s. and winds southeast at 10 to 15. now, by tomorrow morning, the winds turn and they become southwest early at 10-15. temperatures in the 50s and 60s. yes, we start going in the warm sector of air, but a shower or thunderstorm possible in the morning. by afternoon, partly cloudy, warmer, shower or storm possible. high temperatures around 80. that's a pretty good deal. next seven days. again, upper 70s on wednesday.
