As it does the flow around the high becomes offshore and maybe some gusty winds into the middle of the week this will allow for temperatures to steadily climb. Today numbers coming up out of the 50s for most. Although Half Moon Bay should be in the upper 50s with the high surf. 62 in palo alto, 63 in fremont.

So jims not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed
