11:49 pm
drops to the south. this will drop in between midnight and 5:00 in the morning. perhaps enough lift to that moisture to give us showers an the north bay. the next two days, at least, the jet stream isn't going to be over the bay area. we are not talking big chances of rain but the low clouds and mist has the on-shore breezes push the moisture over the coastal hill tops. a chance of drip drizzle the next couple of mornings and upper 50s to low 60s. the opposite pattern on thursday and friday as high pressure builds in. like what we saw yesterday when we had off-shore winds and dry conditions. the air warms up and dries out. as it heads to the seashore. so 60s and 70s are possible for the bay area. toward friday could see mid-70s in the south bay. in the meantime here's the low cloud cover pushed inland by the sea breeze. east pay hills may be enough to give us a little drizzle. the future cast isn't tipping
