shot. this is what wind does though, right? look at that. does not look like this time of year. usually this time of year, you've got the fog, right? the spring fog. and then you've got the high pressure kind of creating particulate or capping the atmosphere so that all this car exhaust ends up kind of in this layer kind of the layer we breathe. but when the winds blow, it just washes it all out. and that picture sort of illustrates that. the plan is for, for the temperatures to pretty much peak out as we go into thursday and then kind of work their way down by the weekend. they cool off pretty significantly, especially on sunday and monday. the wind gusts will continue in these areas. now this earlier or yesterday, the advisory was further west, but now it's been pushed back a little bit. but you can see these north bay redding down to about sacramento. pretty darn windy. and that's going to stay in effect through tomorrow morning. the wind advisory is and so it's windy. like if you're driving up 5 or 505 if you did today you know what i'm talking about. but if you are tomorrow you'll know what i'm talking about then too.

the winds right now in oakland are offshore. there's the arrows 31 miles an hour, 32 mile an hour. gusts at santa rosa, 21 mile an hour gusts at san carlos is windy and it will be a little less windy for parts of the bay tomorrow. but those inland sections of the bay, napa and antioch and our friends in vallejo, it'll be breezy. current temperatures upper 70s. so it's cooled off a little bit. wow, 13 degrees warmer than it was yesterday in 15 degrees warmer than it was today or yesterday in hayward. the forecast overnight lows. look at that. 60 in napa. so that's a function of the offshore winds and the air sinking. even though it's nighttime the nights are long enough to get temperatures in the upper 50s. the air is going to sink a little bit. so it's going to warm. so 60 degrees overnight low is pretty impressive for this time of year . 86 in napa tomorrow. so they come up again. air quality is still good. winds will be lighter by tomorrow afternoon and we've got a nice looking weekend ahead. mother's day julie looks pretty good as well, just a little bit cooler and a bit of fog at the coast.
