continent. it's going to be coastal areas because this low is not going to translate inland. it's going to go right down the coast. so these areas along the coast will get wet. if there's a lot of rain to be had, scattered showers on saturday. so the takeaway here is that we're looking at temperatures. the next couple of days are going to stay warm and pleasant and then we're going to get into this deal friday. it'll be cooler, but manageable. nice day cloud. partly cloudy, partly sunny. saturday is wet, at least to some extent. certainly along the coast. and then sunday looks like a pretty nice day. here comes friday morning and then there's friday afternoon. the rain just starts to kind of get close to us, and that low spins down the coast after that. and brings us a bit of a wet saturday. strongest dynamics with this low are going to be down towards big sur and down towards monterey and san luis obispo. so with that in mind, here we go. there's the five day forecast. julie's doing a little floor directing over here. colin. you know london.
