nothing dramatic. and we will warm it up. it will be a windy, dry and warm weekend as the numbers begin to recover. winds speeds do abate right now. they're mostly in the 10 to 20 miles an hour range for much of the bay area. windier at the coast. it's a pretty good sea breeze, and that will cool things down inland. here is what is happening. high pressure that was offshore was fairly close to this low pressure that is now being booted to the east. and as that happens, the gradient between the high and the low relax, and the winds will come down. still have them tomorrow afternoon, but tonight not so bad. the weekend looks pretty good. high will build in. get closer to the shoreline. so that by monday at 6:00, we'll warm it up. in fact, we'll warm it up 3 to 5 degrees a day for the inland areas until we're in the 90 degree range by monday in some place. but for much of the rest of the inland bay area and the north bay we'll be in the 90s by tuesday and wednesday of next week. so those will be the warmest two days of next week. in terms of sky conditions, they look pretty good. there is just a few puffs of low cloudiness over the santa cruz

mountains. san francisco is clear. east bay is clear. and on and on. there are red flag warnings that are still posted for parts of solano county up top. but those warnings are going to expire at 8:00 tonight. we're looking at clear skies and the humidities coming up a little bit. winds will ease overnight. just patchy clouds. the rest of the weekend looks pretty good. sunny and warmer for the weekend. going to be a beautiful weekend in the bay area. and warms through tuesday when inland reaches 90 degrees. overnight tonight, we'll find lows in the 50s. and daytime highs tomorrow. a little bit warmer than they were today. we'll get up to 87 in fairfield and concord. livermore is at 84 after 80 degrees today. san francisco 69. and up in santa rosa, be warm in santa rosa, 87 tomorrow. 78 at mount view. coastline remains cool. so temperatures, something for everybody. 60s along the coast near san francisco to the low 80s and san jose tomorrow, warmest day in the next seven are going to be on tuesday and wednesday in the
