Sunday Sunshine: Inland Valleys Climb into the 80s for a Beautiful Weekend Finish
The Big Picture Our seasonal warmup is right on track. The cool, May gray weather is clearing out today, paving the way for a bright, very warm Sunday and an even hotter Monday before a cooling trend returns late next week. The Forecast: Day-by-Day Tonight: Skies will stay mostly clear for most airports, but coastal fog will return to Half Moon Bay, Monterey, and Salinas. Sunday: High pressure builds in, pushing temperatures higher under sunny skies. The coast will hit the 60s to near 70, while the interior jumps into the mid-70s to mid-80s. Monday (The Warmest Day): The heat peaks at 5 to 10 degrees above average. If the morning fog stays out at sea, even the coastal beaches will enjoy a very warm afternoon. Highs from 67 Beaches to 91 Inland. Tuesday (VOTE!) & Midweek: Temperatures bounce around a bit Wednesday and Thursday depending on how far inland the morning fog pushes. Next Weekend: A new weather system takes aim at the West Coast. While it will pull temperatures well below average, any actual rain looks like it will stay far to our north.

Loud sonic boom heard and felt by hundreds across parts of New England
The meteor disbanded about 40 miles above northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire, releasing energy equivalent to nearly 300 tons of TNT that produced a loud enough boom to startle the region and spark the ever important question: "What was that?"

May Gray, then sun and warmer weather
The Big Picture The unseasonably cold storm has officially packed its bags and moved into Nevada. High pressure from the Pacific is building in its place, triggering a well-deserved warming and drying trend that will bring normal spring temperatures back to the region by Sunday and through most of next week. The Forecast: Day-by-Day Tonight: A compressed marine layer will bring a solid blanket of low clouds inland overnight. Saturday Morning Fog & Drizzle: Watch out for thick fog if you are driving around Santa Rosa, Petaluma, or Novato early tomorrow morning, along with spotty coastal drizzle around the Monterey Peninsula. It should all clear out by mid-morning. Saturday Afternoon: The warming trend gains traction under a mix of sun and clouds. Expect highs in the upper 50s on the immediate coast, low-to-mid 60s around the Bay and pleasant 70s inland. Sunday Through Midweek: Temperatures will jump back to normal or slightly above normal. While the inland valleys warm up nicely, a returning marine layer on Monday and Tuesday will keep the beaches and coastal towns on the cooler side. Late Next Week: Don't pack away the jackets just yet. Long-range models show another cool weather system taking aim at the West Coast by next weekend. Marine Impact Boater Warning: High pressure to our north is cranking the wind machine back up over the ocean. Widespread hazardous marine conditions begin tonight. Expect strong northerly breezes with gale-force gusts ripping north of the Golden Gate and down the Big Sur Coast all weekend long. Have a great weekend!

Beach Blanket Chills: Coast stays locked in the 50s for the Holiday Weekend
Sunday: Expect carbon-copy weather. The only change is that the North Bay fog will clear out a little earlier in the morning compared to today. West winds 10-20 MPH Memorial Day Monday: The marine layer gets even deeper, pushing thick fog way inland. Widespread morning clouds will be slow to clear. Expect cool, cloudy beaches in the 50s, bayshores in the low 60s, and only the furthest interior spots reaching the 70s. Tuesday: A low-pressure system is now expected to pass to our north, which will cut off our ocean air and trigger a dry, northwesterly breeze. This wind shift will cause temperatures to warm on Tuesday, kicking off a modest warming trend.

The Fog Fights Back: Marine Layer Expands Inland for the Holiday Weekend
The weather tug-of-war is shifting and our natural air conditioning is gaining ground.
