5:26 pm
tonight, 27 in petaluma, 30 for napa, 29 degrees in sonoma. so it's late february par for the course. we'll usually get a cold snap this time of year and they certainly will up in ukiah, lake port and clearlake. extended forecast shows high clouds tomorrow and temperatures in the low to mid- 50s, a notch warmer than today. in the extended forecast we'll look for 50s all the way through the weekend. by the time we get to saturday and sunday it will absolutely skyrocket back to 60 degrees, back where we belong to quote one of the famous meteorologists, can't quite remember who. we'll be back after a break.
