early afternoon. in terms of that mist and drizzle it might be heavy enough to addict is a measurable moisture but just barely more than a trace of that. temperatures tonight dropping down into the upper 50s and low 60s by early friday morning, from there, we warm up to only a couple degrees below average for this time of year. mid 60s along the coast, low to mid 70s around the south end of the bay with mid to upper 70s and the santa clara valley, only 75 in san jose, that sounds fall like. temperatures in the upper 70s to around 80 for the tri- valley, the warm spots east of the diablo range only in the low 80s. mid to upper 60s and low 70s around the bay with low to mid 70s for the northbay, just a tiny bit warmer for the north but it is not going to be a warm day at all to finish up the work week. the warmth returns as we head into the weekend, again i have a look at that smoke forecast model coming up at six the clock. we may have to add in a couple of smoke icons farther down the line in seven-day forecast.
