It is in the 40s and 50s, even some 60s in some spots, 47 in concord, 46 in pleasant hill. Its 50 in San Francisco. Some fog up towards santa rosa and novato, at 36 and 37 respectively, moderate air quality as High Pressure builds in today and tomorrow, brings us warmer temperatures and lighter winds. So today will be in the 70s by noontime inland, upper 70s to year 80 around the livermore valley, mid70s, hayward on the beach in the 60s. Tonight, by 6 00 it is going to be still mild, 70s around the beto near 70 as you get towards, say, hayward. But as you go through the evening dropping through the 60s, really comfortable out there with just a little cooler weather as we get towards 9 00. So nothing too spooky about that. Liz .
