Highs tomorrow, not that warm. Fremont 67. Cloudy in vallejo, 68. Livermore 70. So a chance of showers each day for the next three. No washouts but some showers out there. Weekend looks good albeit not a banner weekend for warmth. Next week we get warmer 80 returning by next tuesday. So cutoff lows have done it time and time again.
