michelle pounder along the peninsula blue skies and you know what, michelle? you're pretty spot on because that's what we are seeing out our window off our kpix 5 studios looking towards the golden gate bridge. how often do you get to see this? wall to wall sunshine from the coast to our inland areas. the flag is not even on the fly. the winds are slight. here's the scene from lick observatory looking towards the santa clara valley. clear skies. another view, wow, this time 24 hours from sausalito looking towards san francisco we were socked in with condensation, a little bit of light drizzle was on our camera lens. meanwhile let's traverse over now to the eastern portion of the bay area. looking out towards the city of san francisco, and where we have the university of california at berkeley. lawrence hall of science reporting nothing but sunshine. the marine layer has cleared out. we are going to have close to normal temperatures. this is the area of low pressure. this has been so incredible to watch over the past couple of days because it's spinning its whe

i want to share a photograph sent to us by michelle pounder. it illustrates the wispy fibrous thread-like clouds. when you see that, there's gusty winds at that level. compare that with what's going on outdoors right now. we have a few of those clouds as seen as we take a sneak peek towards mount diablo where currently throughout the tri- valley it's 78 degrees. here's another view from lick observe tore. we have a stack of clouds still left over from this morning's marine layer. the coast is not clear. this is the scene in the north bay from sausalito towards san francisco. a little drizzle on the camera lens from that deep marine layer. the scene from the lawrence hall of science, we have that marine layer, slow to clear out very mild temperatures, as well. this is a beautiful illustration of our satellite imagery. this is the center of an upper- level area of low pressure this is the front. this has precipitation associated with it. the rain is evaporating before it hits land. we have an enhanced marine layer. high pressure thursday, then we
