Tule fog continues through this weekend with solid moisture working its way into the North Bay valleys as well. Once again had to tamp down the temp forecast for these areas today. Persistent fog and stratus can be expected again tomorrow with at least a better chance for earlier clearing. Elsewhere, temperatures around seasonal normals continue with quiet conditions and mostly clear skies.

Things finally start to change a bit Monday as we dry out during the afternoons. The passage of a weak mid-level trough promotes mixing of dry continental air, so we can finally say goodbye to the all-day cloudiness that we've been seeing in the North Bay. That'll give everyone a few very nice days going into next week. Next up is an inside slider that is now being advertised with reasonable confidence by ensemble guidance. Wednesday morning we're anticipating offshore winds across the interior North Bay. This will result in additional drying across the interior for these northern zones with daytime RH in the 30-40% range, as well as some compression of the marine layer. In terms of rain, we're still kicking the can down the road so to speak. Not looking good for rain chances for anyone before the middle of the month.
