It looks small but experts say it is rare for one to be bright enough to spot with the naked eye or even the binoculars. The space center held a virtual presentation to help the stargazers prepare. We are in california so you should be able to see it if youre not in the fog. Look to the northwest. It is way out in space, 60 million miles away from the earth. Just about anywhere that it is dark you should be able to see you. Catch Comet Neowise through next thursday with the ideal time to see youbetween 9 00 and 9 30. It will not return for another 6800 years. Following up, if you go, do not get your hopes up to get a great show unless you are very used to looking at the sky and you know what looks different. That is unless you have a good pair of binoculars.

At the trivalley we have an opening but the delta waking up to this but it will burn back like the last couple of days. At the immediate coast and at the gate staying with gray skies for most of the day. Look at the top line and that is concord, 90 degrees warmer than yesterday. Santa rosa and oakland 5 degrees warmer with livermore up by 4 and san jose by 3. You will not notice it in the bay in it is a subtle warm up. But inland at Contra Costa County a 90 degree warm up you will notice. Concord and any areas around the media delta will feel this the most. With your daytime highs, 86 at campbell, 85 at san jose with Mountain View at 80. Bar inland Contra Costa County around 90 degrees. Walnut creek will hit 88 and oakland will go to 75 with san rafael hitting 79 and novato at 80 with santa rosa hitting 83. And Mendocino County mid to upper 90s. Nothing will change over the next several days other than we might get cooler in the early part of next week. We will see more of marine layer pushing onshore but that is subtle. It is that time of year. Whats the difference if really 16 are mostly gray but really gray at the end of next week. At least we have no 100 and that 7day forecast. Thats a good point.
