little baby warmup is in store for us as we head into early next week. there is our friend the fog hanging out over san francisco making a big push across the bay. temperatures in the 50s almost everywhere. still holding onto 62 degrees in san jose. but, you will drop into the 50s along with everybody else as the fog makes the big inland push. the fog in bright white and plenty of it on the map. the duller shade of gray is the cloud cover further up on the atmosphere. that filters the sunshine. temperatures dropping down into the 50s across the board. anywhere from 51 to 58. our temperatures are going to warm up to what's average this time of year. upper 70s to 80 degrees. temperatures inland in the east bay. a mix of upper 70s and low 80s . the high water point across the entire bay area. the middle portion of the 70s , low 70s in fremont. mid 70s redwood city. 60 along
