AccuWeather Forecast: Mainly clear skies with some clouds, warming trend continues Tuesday

Takeaway of the Day
This week is off to a sunny and much warmer start. Earlier this afternoon, most Bay Area locations were 8 to 14 degrees warmer than at the same time yesterday. As we approach the peak of our afternoon warming, we can expect high temperatures to range from upper 60s near the bay to mid 70s inland. Late afternoon warmth will taper off gradually into the evening hours, meaning pleasant conditions for outdoor activities.

The Look Ahead
The peak of this week's warming will occur tomorrow and Wednesday, when afternoon highs will range from mid-and-upper-70s near the bay to lower-to-mid-80s inland. Thursday and Friday will bring gradual cooling under mainly sunny skies, but Saturday will be gusty and blustery with a sharper drop in temperatures. There is also a slight chance of light rain on Saturday, but it's too early now for a reliable weekend rain forecast.
