many fires in oregon and northern california, and it looks good for oregon and in idaho.are saying there is a lot of smoke and haze which is true but not enough to obscure in oregon and idaho. the forecast models are spot on and clearing out and i think you are okay if you are up there watching. low clouds for us and the will be tough to get out of here. 31 at travis for the wind, 60s for many, 64 in hayward, and a few 50s with many 60s. san jose has been stuck at 66, los altos at 65, menlo park, atherton and belmont also in there. fremont 64. we have high clouds streaming off of the sierra and i don't think enough high clouds to stop the viewing if you get warren up inland. 61 monterey, the two in sacramento with thunderstorms popping up over the sierra. the low in southern california is the driver of all of this which is sending in these clouds and cooling us off along with that big fog bank. 60s, 70s and 80s with low clouds. you could get a break and see that fog lift for a little bit, for right now it looks foggy. warmer toward the end of the week. >>> it is 6:51 am.

the cloud cover will thin out over oregon and idaho. we can see the cloud cover off of the sierra and most of that is about done. 25 gusting up to 31 and out toward cordelia and fairfield we have a good breeze. bodega bay the 50s with the san francisco and half moon bay at 62. alameda 63, oakland 62, all 60s. most locations in the 60s with a balmy 66 in san jose, brentwood 63. a few 50s, but even kelseyville 59. even sebastopol with low clouds, hazy skies today. 58 and ukiah, 61 in monterey. the viewing for the eclipse overall, get away from the coast. we will pretty much be socked in. 60s, 70s and 80s. we start off very warm on the coast, 70s and 80s. it looks warm toward the end of the week. today 60s, 70s and upper 70s and 80. the low cloud deck around 9:00, probably in trouble. go inland and hopefully you can get a break over the bay. it looks warmer at the end of the week and into the weekend but today most of the coast and the bay will be dealing with the fog.>>> it is 5:18 am. >>> the london big ben clocktower went silent today a

many of you are either on your way or about to head out to oregon and idaho. oregon we have been talking about this looking mostly good just a few clouds developing. there will be some in southeast idaho and then a band moving across the middle of the state. maybe not enough to completely obscure things but there are signs into idaho more so than oregon. we have a lot of fog and low clouds but it will be mild warm and hot today from the upper 60s to near 100 toward clearlake. the lows are way up so it won't take long to warm-up. we have had a cool week 15 to 20 below on monday. each day we have been bumping up, yesterday near average, today above or close to it. most locations are in the trend. san francisco near average today . 92 is the record from 1892, the giants are back in town against the phillies. it looks like a mild night mostly clear at 65 with a variable breeze. may be a light jacket will do. 50s and 60s in the city and alameda 62, oakland at 60 so it is mild compared to a couple of weeks ago. remember the system from monday? look at this, jim cant
