about this gradual warming trend. here is the big reason why it's happening. it will begin tuesday gradually warming up until wednesday. the other thing we need to mention it's pretty windy out there. we're dealing with gusty conditions as we head into the afternoon hours. it kicks up a lot around 27b and tons stay strong from offshore into the late evening hours from 25 to 30 miles per hour along the bay, along the coast and up in our inland areas where we are under a red flag warning starting at 11:00 a.m. this morning for solano county once again, due to low relative humidity and gusty conditions. keep that in mind if you live in that area. take it a step back, daytime highs beautiful conditions for us as we extend into the afternoon no matter where you live across the board we'll dealing with a mild setup. fairfield in the 80s, san francisco alone sitting in the mid-60s. that wind will kick up as we head into the afternoon hours leaving with us a pretty cool
