weather that helps with the fire risk. >> right, when the temperatures are near normal, at least the vegetation isn't drying out at a faster rate compared to what is typical this time of year and the inland push of the marine layer every night we've seen for the past several days, it helps a little bit from 2,000 feet downward. the depth of the marine layer and low cloud cover and fog moving into the inland valleys. tonight patchy drizzle along the coast and hazy sunshine. some smoke from the oak fire drifting into the upper levels of the atmosphere. high temperature wills remain near normal. the change we'll see later this week, monsoonal clouds drifting towards us but looks like clouds, high up in the atmosphere i don't think we'll have to worry about cloud to ground lightening threat around the bay area. it's always a concern with monsoonal moisture. the fog is taking over. it's down to 58 in san francisco. 63 across the bay in oakland and upper 60s in santa rosa and
7:18 pm
temperatures cooling off rapidly. 72 san jose, perfect temperatures a little on the warm side concord 82 but nothing we can't handle in the month of july. we'll see the fog making a big push into the inland valleys again by tomorrow morning but like this morning, like the past several mornings, it will back up out of the valleys the around the baby 9:00 or 10:00 with plenty of sunshine during the afternoon. temperatures tonight dropping down mostly to the mid to upper 50s, close to what is normal for this time of year. the very coolest spots in the north bay valleys dropping to the low 50s. temperatures will warm up slowly while the fog is in place but then stay start to take off 80 by noon. and most inland temperatures at lunchtime in the 70s. 50s and 60s around the bay and upper 50s along the coast is nice for lunchtime conditions around the entire bay area and we'll warm up more during the afternoon. up into the low 80s for most of the north bay, low 80s santa clara and mid to upper 80s inland of the east bay but the warmest spots 90. 60s and 70s around the bay with
7:19 pm
upper 50s along the coast. the haze overhead, some of the smoke from the oak fire could get dragged down to ground level by just gravity but that flow of on shore winds is going to keep the air from getting any worse than moderate. it will be moderate at the worst for inland parts 0 theof the no bay and east bay but overall, we'll see a lot of green dots on the air quality map, mostly good air quality again thanks to the on shore breeze. temperatures in the 60s in san francisco, around 70 for oakland and low to mid 80s for san jose through the weekend, through the first half of next week, a bit of additional cloud cover some natural shade every once in awhile for friday, saturday and sunday and maybe another push of monsoonal moisture by monday and tuesday of next week. that is something we'll have to watch along with maybe yet another one by late next week, potentially bringing us cloud to ground lightning threats but that is beyond the scope of the seven-day forecast. we'll worry about that once we're closer to it. >> sounds good. start with what is in front of us. >> exactly. >> thank you.
