tides occur once or twice every year in coastal areas tides up exploratory museum are forecasted to peak at about 7 feet high king tides that we see today we're kind of like the normal tides of tomorrow. >>observers are urged use caution when visiting the tides and in the age of covid wear your mask. in san francisco gayle, ong kron 4 news. >>6.49 right now we want to get a look at the weather talking about the king tides and everything because people say well it surprise right, no rain today, john but people still be walking through some puddles yeah, the puddles because of those high tides and some coastal flood advisories as a result of those high tides along the coastline. >>and right along san pablo bay to so these lime green areas on your map this morning. you see especially the coast but also bayside portions of sonoma and marin counties affected by those advisories. so that's really the biggest thing to note if you're closer to the coastline today if you're further inland, it's the dense fog advisories. we have for solano county into the central valley

as we do have some pockets of dense fog that have already formed from or in county through sonoma county on over into the delta and eventually the central valley, east bay south bay peninsula all looking really solid visibility just fine and all these areas now into the afternoon today skies will clear out high pressure in place going to keep us dry a much different week ahead of us in that regard compared to where we were last week when it was on and off area of shower after some sunshine and then a return of sunshine. it was that pattern that we almost got used to last week this week, it's just increasingly warm conditions under what will be dry skies tomorrow and wednesday a little cloudier but showers will stay to our north up along the north coast of the state. so bay area really missing out on any chance of some much needed moisture that does make for some favorable conditions to step outside at least 50's and 60's for today's highs it will be similar to where we were over the weekend as well as where we were last week temperature wise south san francisco,

redwood city palo alto and san mateo alright at 60 degrees for your highs today south bay below 60's to campbell in san jose at 63 each well across the east bay 60's from hayward to fremont over into the tri valley and up to walnut creek in the meantime conquered berkeley and oakland 59 for your highs upper 50's continue from over to antioch and up to vacaville, some of our fog year spots in the forecast today. well clear out to the coast where we do have those coastal flood advisories as a result of king tides. tomorrow's temperatures much like 2 days after that though is when we really start to see temperatures climbing by wednesday, it's upper 60's and that's where we stay through the rest of the forecast with some highs on thursday and friday as warm as the low 70's. reyna thank you for that john we do have hot spots that are finally starting to make their way. >>across the bay area, the first one we're looking at is this one is san pablo this is 80 westbound san pablo dam road off-ramp you can go ahead
