Expect a classic marine-layer morning across coastal and valley areas today, with fog and low clouds lingering until late morning, then giving way to sun with a mild high near 81 °F and an evening low around 62 °F.

A gradual warm-up toward weekend normals is on tap, though there’s a slim (≤10%) chance of mountain showers Thursday afternoon. Friday into early next week remains calm with minimal marine influence and no signs of heat waves or monsoonal moisture.
