i'm not only that cooler temperatures out there as well. that nice see breeze kicking in bringing in a nice cool marine air. well inland, so 50's and low 60's all around the bay area. but a cold front sliding on by this area of low pressure dragging this out. that's going to kind of split off from that main system. now that's going help the stream up a lot of the clouds into the bay area and eventually this low is actually approach as we get into friday that may be just enough to trigger a couple of scattered light showers at least parts of the south bay into the monterey bay. still a long ways to go right here. you can see the moisture out there continue to move overhead tonight and tomorrow. expect a lot of clouds in our skies and on friday, the low flying, the comes kicking a little bit closer there you can see a couple of scattered showers being picked up by the model there. we get any. it's not going to be much certainly not a drop a stir. but if we get some rain going here that be nice to see. unfortunately you have to wait a while for bigger storm. it be nice if they did hit the ground. yeah. it's a nice we don't know where bridge before it gets to the surface. but that's all we're getting today. okay. thanks, laura. ok. turning now to it covid coverage. the
