Happy Tuesday evening! Wednesday: Coastal fog & drizzle: Expect low clouds and fog along the coast, with potential early morning drizzle in Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz, and Santa Rosa. Afternoon highs: A near-carbon copy of Monday's temperatures.60s at the Coast, 70s and 80s Bayshore and up to 94 degrees for the hottest locations Inland. Long-Term (Thursday Through Monday) Cooling trend: The approaching trough will deepen the marine layer, keeping morning clouds around longer and cooling temperatures slightly. Breezy conditions: Onshore winds will pick up along the coast, coastal gaps (Petaluma Gap), and East Bay saddles (Altamont Pass/The Delta). Fire weather risk: While higher humidity will help suppress ignitions at elevation, breezy winds acting on fully cured fine fuels could cause any active fires to spread quickly. Convective potential: Mid-level moisture will move in late week, raising a slight possibility of high-based showers. However, lightning chances are under 1% due to a lack of upper-level cooling, though localized gusty mountain winds remain possible.
