starts to back off a little bit. but still pretty gusty out there right now. winds up above 20 miles per hour. you can see the cool marine air getting into fairfield and livermore. the reason why our evening at least tonight will be a bit on the chilly side. as we wake up tomorrow morning, patches of low clouds to start the day, but not as many as we saw this morning. as we head towards the afternoon, we're going to see temperatures warming up, especially in those east bay valleys. less coastal fog and breezy and mild. sunset coming up at about 8:20. so the satellite view shows you active weather riding off to the north here. a little less in the way of thundershower activity in the sierra. most of that has been to the south of lake tahoe today. eventually the low clouds, which were hugging the coastline throughout much of the day starting to back off now. we've got the sunshine around santa cruz and should see less low clouds tomorrow, which means even the coast will be running a little bit warmer than we saw today. the patchy clouds tomorrow morning, mostly clear skies to start the morning off and a mostly sunny afternoon too as you're about to see our

temperatures on the bottom of the screen, your seven-day forecast shows you those numbers warming up. very interesting here, we're not into june yet and we've got a hurricane to talk about here in the northeastern pacific. this is way off the coast of mexico. winds at about 80 miles per hour. that is hurricane amanda. and the forecast, across mexico and/or baja, california. very early start to the season for those pacific hurricanes there off the coast of mexico. we'll stay tuned if there's any forecast changes in that path. our plans here for memorial day weekend, we'll show high pressure starting to build in a bit more strongly tomorrow. so that's going to compress down the marine layer. you'll see our temperatures tomorrow, probably about five to ten degrees warmer. so 70s and 80s around the inner bay and 80s and 90s toward the tri valley. so 85 tomorrow in san jose. should see 91 degrees in saratoga. look at san francisco. 70s for tomorrow. that trend will continue through
