saturday and sunday. but you're right, greg. i mean, we've got a lot of clouds moving inland the last couple of days. and that's created some really foggy conditions, especially out there in mill valley and places along the coast like sebastopol and areas down on the pigeon point area, down towards pescadero. these are the highs from today. highs tomorrow will be a little warmer today. cool. tomorrow is going to be a little bit warmer. and overall we're looking at temperatures that will be a good 2 or 3 degrees warmer than they were today, maybe four degrees. and that puts us back into the low 80s. this is the forecast for the microclimates. as you move across the bay and 60s around the bay, a little warmer inland, 70s, mid 70s and then 80s, upper 70s, low 80s in the very warmest spots. so antioch and clayton in those spots, marine layer stretching out. it's already up over 1500ft. so it's pushing inland. that has a huge impact on the temperatures and how the cloud cover. look at that extent of cloud cover. that's the model saying tomorrow morning it's going to look like that and it burns off. oh, so slowly. and that leaves behind a cooler day. and that's why temperatures are going to be

mild the next couple of days. because of that very big deep marine layer. these are the current temperatures. and you can kind of see the dark greens that would almost represent the sea breeze. right the modified air mass that's coming in with the sea breeze moisture and cooler and that's that dark green. even those blues over by novato. the model says this tomorrow morning and then tomorrow afternoon, saturday morning fog comes back low, clouds burns off quicker. saturday. right. look at that. and then sunday doesn't start. starts off with less fog. ends up with mostly sunny even at the coast. but it's going to be slightly cooler. so it's unusual. right? you go. wow, the fog is gone, but it's going to be cooler. okay, well, that's the plan. there's a low pressure to the north of us, and that's the mechanism for the cooling that gets here saturday and sunday. here are the high temperatures forecast for tomorrow. a little warmer, probably the warmest day. we'll see for a few days as we cool off into the weekend and warm up a little bit next week. but no heat waves. there's no big 9095
