Sun-sational Sunday
The sky is very chaotic across California this evening with marine layer clouds banked up against the coast influenced by NW winds and ample high clouds blow-off moving in from the SE from monsoonal moisture. There is also a line of mid level clouds popping up from Napa to Half Moon Bay. The biggest impact tonight will be from encroaching marine layer stratus, which will eventually impact most neighborhoods by Sunday morning. Expect very little Coastal Clearing on Sunday with sunshine along the Bay and Inaldn areas. NW winds 10 to 20 mph with an Air Quality Advisory for the North Bay (Solano, Napa and Sonoma) due to the growing Pickett Fire. Temperatures are GRADUALLY cooling from 64 in Pacifica to 92 in Antioch.

Marvelous Monday!
Cloud cover for areas not along the coast looks to burn off fairly quickly today. That, along with a slight decrease in onshore flow, allows for slightly warmer conditions than yesterday for all but the immediate coast. Highs Inland will peak in the low 90s, while the coast and bay, will mostly stick to the 60s and 70s. Winds will also begin to back off today. Aside from the regularly breezy passes and valleys, most of the region will begin to see lighter winds that will last into the long term portion of the forecast. Ok, now for the extended forecast...high temps will hit triple digits by Thursday into Friday. This is the first prolonged heat wave in the area. Hot temps Breezy Winds Low Humidity all spell ELEVATED FORE DANGER! Watch for Advisories or "Watch" from NWS. Be prepared and stay cool and hydrated!
