6:48 pm
tonight 50s and 60s. san jose 60. fremont 60. livermore upper 50s. san francisco only dropping down 58 degrees overnight tonight. as for why this is happening, it's a big ridge of high pressure offshore winds because the ridge is centered to our north giving us an east wind. the ocean sitting at 57 degrees but it doesn't matter when the with -- when the wind is coming out from the east and pushing to the west. it will change when we get a west wind. low pressure will get here friday shoving that ridge down. when that happens we get the onshore back and it won't be as warm after one more hot day tomorrow. we're clear and mild tonight. one more warm to hot day tomorrow. friday cooler by 10 degrees and cooler and cloudier this weekend. highs tomorrow morgan hill back to the 90s. 91. san mateo 87. half moon bay a high of 78 degrees tomorrow. not as warm as today but nice at the beach. antioch, pittsburg, 94 again. dublin 91. pleasant hill in the 90s.
6:49 pm
