BOULEVARD TO CENTENNIAL DRIVE. IT WILL REOPEN AT 5:00 A.M. TOMORROW. >>> LET'S CHECK BACK IN WITH PAUL HEGGEN. WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE SAN FRANCISCO FOG AND THE FIRE HERE, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE BAY AREA? >> AWAY FROM THE WATER, LOOKING GREAT. THE MARINE LAYER AND THE CLOUD COVER THEY ARE IN PRESENT VISIBILITY PROBLEMS FOR ANYBODY WANTING TO TAKE IN THE TRADITIONAL FIREWORKS DISPLAY, BUT TRADITION INCLUDES THE FOG BUT YOU HAVE TO PEER THROUGH. WE WILL GET A STRONGER ONSHORE BREEZE TOMORROW THAT WILL CONTINUE THE TEMPERATURE DROP THAT BEGAN TO KICK IN AND THE STRONGER BREEZE WILL ALSO IMPROVE OUR AIR QUALITY. STEADILY COOLING TEMPERATURES AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK. A PARADE OF RIPPLES IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE REDUCING THE WEIGHT OF THE ATMOSPHERE. THIS IS WHY OUR COOLER WEATHER WILL STICK AROUND NOT JUST THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK BUT THROUGH THE WEEKEND BEFORE WE RETURNED TO NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AIR QUALITY WAS OKAY AROUND THE BAY AREA TODAY. WE HAVE YELLOW DOTS AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE BAY AND AROUND THE SANTA CLARA VALLEY. THESE MIGHT BE LINGERING EFFECTS OF FIRE WORD SMOKE , SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE SPOTS THAT HAD MODERATE AIR QUALITY TODAY. BUT EVERYBODY SHOULD BE IN THE GREEN THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY. IF YOU ARE ANXIOUS FOR A RETURN TO MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME TEMPERATURES, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT TOO LONG. THE OUTLOOK SHOWS THE TREND GETTING CLOSER TO THE BAY AREA . PASS THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH IT LOOKS LIKE A WEAK SIGNAL TOWARDS ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES RETURNING TO MUCH OF CALIFORNIA. IT IS SPECULATIVE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE JULY WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT IN THE SEASON. LOOKING DOWN TOWARDS PIER 39, THE CAMERA IS SHAKING AROUND TOO MUCH. 60s AROUND THE BAY. MOSTLY 70s AND LOW 80s. NICE WEATHER FOR FOURTH OF JULY. WE WILL SEE THE FOG SPREADING INLAND LATE TONIGHT AFTER THE FIREWORKS DISPLAYS ARE DONE. CLEAR SKIES OVERHEAD FOR THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE THE FOG TAKES OVER LATER TONIGHT. IT WILL BACK UP PRETTY EARLY BY 9:00 OR 10:00 AT THE LATEST. NO SKY JULY IS IN FULL EFFECT ALONG THE COAST. YOU WILL NOT SEE MUCH SUNSHINE THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND INTO THE WEEKEND. ANYWHERE FROM 50 DEGREES IN SANTA ROSA TO THE LEAST COOL SPOT IN ANTIOCH TONIGHT, BUT JUST COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES AREAWIDE. OUR HIGHS WILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. SANTA ROSA ONLY REACHING INTO THE MID-70s. THE FOG TAKES LONGER TO DISSIPATE IN THE VALLEYS OF THE NORTH BAY. YOUR TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSER TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AND ALSO CLOSER TO NORMAL IN CONCORD BUT THAT STILL PUTS YOU CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES TOMORROW AFTERNOON, SO ON THE COMFORTABLE SIDE OF COOLER THAN AVERAGE. ALSO CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES IN SAN JOSE. THE FOG SHOULD BACK UP PRETTY QUICKLY. WE FILL IN THE REST OF THE TEMPERATURE MAP AND WE ARE LOOKING AT UPPER 50s AROUND THE COAST AND BAY AND A MIX OF MID-TO-UPPER 70s AND LOW 80s ON THE WARM END OF THINGS INLAND, WHICH IS NOT ALL THAT WARM HERE IN EARLY JULY. FOR THOSE INLAND FIREWORKS DISPLAYS, THINGS ARE LOOKING GOOD IN CONCORD. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE LOWER HALF OF THE 60s WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OVERHEAD. IN SAN JOSE IT IS ALSO JUST AFTER 9:00 AND TEMPERATURES AT THAT POINT SHOULD BE AROUND 65 DEGREES, STEADILY DROPPING THROUGH THE REST OF THE EVENING. THINGS ARE A BIT COOLER IN SAUSALITO AND YOUR PROXIMITY TO THE WATER MEANS THE MARINE LAYER WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT HOW MUCH OF THE DISPLAY YOU WILL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO SEE. HOPEFULLY IT REMAINS JUST HIGH OF HIM OFF ABOVE GROUND LEVEL FOR THE BURSTS TO BE SEEN THROUGH THE CLOUD COVER. BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK WE ARE CLAWING OUR WAY BACK TO RELATIVELY NORMAL FOR THE MIDDLE OF JULY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE FURTHER INTO THE 60s AND LOW 70s AROUND THE BAY. NOT MUCH CHANGE ALONG THE
