AccuWeather Forecast: Cooling fog returns tonight

Takeaway of the Day

Today was the final day of this week's summer-like warming trend. The warmth held on fairly well inland, but there has been noticeable cooling near the coast and bay. The warmest inland temperature readings were in the lower 90s, but highs near the bay have been mainly in the lower 70s, while the coast has ranged from upper 50s to around 60. Look for a return of cooling fog tonight, especially near the coast and bay.

The Look Ahead

For those who hope to see the Northern Lights tonight, fairly dense fog will return to the coast and bay, and even locally inland. That means the best viewing conditions will be farther inland, away from the coast and bay, and away from bright city lights. I would recommend rural or sparsely populated areas in the inland East Bay. Beyond tonight, we can expect beautiful weather tomorrow for Mother's Day. After a little morning fog, we'll have sunny skies with high temperatures ranging from near 60s degrees at the coast to mid-70s around the bay to upper 80s inland. And Mother's Day will be followed by a full week of mainly sunny and mild-to-warm weather.
