Consumer reports tested 31 portable wireless speakers for sound quality using a series of frequency measurements. But a trained ear can also tell a lot just by listening to, say, harry connick, jr.

Wow. And we are beginning to look a lot like christmas. So appropriate, yes. Winter arrives later on today. It will feel mild, in the 60s. That makes a lot of sense. We are starting out with the fog and mist. Even light showers around the bay. This is all what we call lowlevel moisture falling well below the radar beam. We arent picking it up here but it is possibly in your neighborhood. If you are in hayward and oakland and also some very dense fog in spots up in the north bay. It will last throughout the Morning Hours. And then things change as High Pressure nudges in to the bay area. So live doppler 7hd is quiet, but as we look at our visibility in miles, take a look at oakland. You have been just showered, under a halfmile visibility. A mile and three quarters with nearly 60 degrees at Half Moon Bay and sfo where delays are about 45 minutes right now. The private jet over in hayward, 10mile visibility. Better in the north bay and over in the east bay. So it was a lot worse yesterday and this morning looking out the window here from our roof camera, you see it isnt too bad. We have better visibility, further distance you can see and we are looking at the temperatures. Wow, much, much milder than we should be. We should be in the 40s and we are at 47. Oakland and 59 Half Moon Bay. Another panel shows the mild temperatures and the foggy Golden Gate Bridge with some wet pavement. 55 in santa rosa, 57 novato and 58 for you in concord and livermore. The final Vantage Point from our exploratorium camera. With mist and drizzle, light showers and the fog this morning, it will take us through the late Morning Hours, right to around noontime. Then we will begin to see skies part and we will see partly cloudy conditions, winner arrives at 3 03 and we will look for a dry and quietest start to the season. Looking at some pretty nice weather. We havent seen sunshine and temperatures above average. So weve got that on tap. You can tell why. Out in the pacific theres a big dome of High Pressure. It will be pushing the storm track well to the north, building into the eastern pacific for the latter part of today, tomorrow and tuesday. But it also is going to cap the atmosphere, giving us a stable play layer at the surface. With light wind and little mixes, we will wake up to the fog around monday and tuesday morning. So heres a look at the next several hours. 9 00 we are beginning to see some breaks up in the north bay, the east bay. Still maybe some showers. The atmosphere is pretty saturated at the lower levels with a lot of moisture. That why we have the mild temperatures. Maybe a popup shower at the coast but by the afternoon hours getting more breaks. And we will look for partly sunny conditions. So temperatures will easily climb into the mid60s in some parts of the bay. Low 60s should do it in the south bay. 63 milpitas and santa cruz. On the peninsula look for 62 redwood city. Half moon bay it should be pretty mild. Near 60 degrees. 63 in San Francisco. Heading up to the north bay its been pretty wet. But you will dry out throughout the afternoon. 64 petaluma, sonoma and vallejo. On the east bay it will take a couple hour
