AccuWeather Forecast: Fog moves back in overnight near coast, bay

Takeaway of the Day
Stratus clouds that pushed across the bay and locally inland overnight were slow to burn off today. Finally, by early afternoon, sunny skies had emerged over the bay and inland. This has also been a breezy/windy day, especially near the coast, where the strongest gusts have been around 20 to 25 miles per hour. Yet, despite the cooling onshore wind flow, late afternoon temperatures were in a mild range from lower to mid 70s near the bay to mid and upper 80s inland. The marine layer will rebuild tonight and produce widespread patchy drizzle near the coast and bay.

The Look Ahead
We can expect the current gusty pattern to continue through Monday, contributing to elevated fire weather concerns in our hills and mountains - especially the East Bay Hills, where relative humidity is dangerously low. Closer to the surface, the cooling marine influence will keep relative humidity a bit higher - meaning fire weather concerns will not be elevated. High temperatures over the next seven days will remain below average, ranging from lower 60s at the coast to near 70 around the bay shoreline to about 80 to 82 degrees inland. Apart from the possibility of patchy coastal drizzle, our current dry, mild weather pattern will continue through the 7-day forecast period.
