Well it was a lovely day around the bay today and take a live look outside now looking at the bay bridge toll plaza not much traffic and not much fog pretty quiet out there, lets check in with chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow alongside as a way of kind of stirring up about the weather or its yeah, you know, hey this is a very neat shot outside right now look at the fog is just making its way inside of a look at the beautiful colors as the sun has set on the bay area so that fog. Kind of making its way on shore right now and its going to push well inland overnight tonight and think enough likely going to see some drizzle along the coastline and what a day to day though we have some beautiful summer weather outside yet the hot 90s inland inside the bay very comfortable 73.
