Another day with Bay Area microclimates in full force! BUT, it is substantially cooler in San Francisco compared to yesterday...upper 50s near the water to mid 70s downtown! I love living here - just take a short drive and you'll find the perfect temperature for you! @kpixtv.bsky.social

It was a HOT one across California today...inland areas were in the upper 80s/low 90s while many places along the coast reached the 70s. BUT in SF, the microclimates were in full force this afternoon. From 60s near the coast to upper 80s downtown...just take a short walk to cool down/heat up!

Dozens of wildfires started over the past 24 hours, and widespread fire danger continues to be a huge issue from the Desert Southwest to the Great Plains. Dry lightning likely started some fires in Texas...but severe storms are likely across the central US through this weekend.

The CUTEST kitten I’ve ever seen - the spots on his nose are the best🥹 And he’s available for adoption at the San Francisco SPCA !!!

Warmer and sunnier weather returns Thursday/Friday...but breezy winds will continue, especially along the coast. It's only going to get windier by Saturday, with a Gale Watch in effect. It will be cooler Saturday afternoon, before warming right back up into next week! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Record high temperatures continue across the west/central US...but with windy and dry weather, fire danger will be a big issue. That ridge of heat will gradually shift east into the weekend. 10-20°+ above average highs will stick around into early next week across eastern US. @kpixtv.bsky.social

Bay Area microclimates were in full force today! Not only a 30° temperature difference from the coast to inland areas...but just take a 10-15 minute drive (depending on traffic) southeast in San Francisco and you'll be 10° warmer than downtown! You can thank the coastal fog🌁 @kpixtv.bsky.social

I wish I could take Nikki and Koda home!! Their owners passed away, and they have been looking for a furever home for about a year. They are a mother/son bonded pair who just need some human love (and treats!). Here's the link to adopt, if interested: www.lilyslegacy.org/available.html

Denver, and the rest of the Rockies, are FINALLY getting in on some big snow this season. Better late than never, right? This same storm system will continue to bring severe storms across the Southeast through tomorrow evening. Luckily it's also bringing the drought-stricken areas much needed rain!

Bay Area microclimates are going to be returning in full force later this week😶‍🌫️🥵 Directly along the coast, fog is going to stay stubborn through the late week - highs will only be near 60°. But with plenty of sunshine inland, highs will be in the upper 70s to near 80! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Are you ready for a heat up, California?! After a gloomy, chilly weekend and some rain tonight...there's big changes on the way this week. Temperatures will warm up starting Wednesday, and really heat up this weekend. Enjoy the sunshine and start making your outdoor plans now! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Why is the Bay Area so foggy in the summer?! First, you have to understand how fog/clouds form in general. I try to break down dew point, how it relates to cloud formation, and why the California Coast in particular gets so foggy during the summer months. @kpixtv.bsky.social

Dad joke on live television...who wants to hear it?! Now that it's officially May I had to share one of my favorites on CBS News Bay Area @kpixtv.bsky.social this morning! I love a good bad dad joke, so I hope you giggle as much as I did hehe😅

May showers are on the way, Bay Area! Rain will spread across the Central Valley Monday, potentially spilling into the East/North Bay by the later afternoon. More heavy rain will move over the North Bay late Monday night, continuing to dry out as it pushes south into early Tuesday morning.

Much chillier, gloomier weather on the way this weekend across the Bay Area before RAIN moves overhead late Monday night into early Tuesday... It will be a quick moving line from north to south, not dropping a whole lot of rain. Drier and warmer by the mid to late week! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Get out today before RAIN arrives tomorrow, Bay Area! Most rain early Monday will be scattered and light in nature, but by Monday night widespread heavy downpours will move overhead. More waves of scattered rain and storms are likely Tuesday before drying out by the late week. @kpixtv.bsky.social

I hope you can all get out and about this weekend to soak up some sunshine and all the beauty that is the Bay Area...but when will you have to grab that umbrella again??? A large storm will move over the area Monday - Wednesday next week, bringing widespread rain. @kpixtv.bsky.social

Heads up Bay Area...get ready for more rain!!👀🌧️ But there's some uncertainty on exactly when it will arrive. This weekend will be dry and warm, before rain chances return late Sunday...but there's a better potential for wet weather Monday-Tuesday. Stay up to date as we fine tune the forecast!

HOW much snow and rain did we see this past weekend across California and the Sierra?! Anywhere from 2-4 FEET of snow, and anywhere from 1-3" of rain across most of the Bay Area! Santa Cruz Mtns saw 3-4+", while San Jose only saw 0.73". Beneficial moisture all around! @kpixtv.bsky.social

A DOUBLE RAINBOW caught live on our roof camera during the @kpixtv.bsky.social news at 6 PM😍🌈 Scattered showers will become isolated tonight, drying out into Monday with a lot more sunshine on the way this week! Temperatures will continue to warm as dry air sticks around all this upcoming week.

BAY AREA - do you have plans tonight? A powerful storm system is going to bring widespread heavy downpours, gusty winds, and maybe even some lightning along a cold front this evening. Secure any loose outdoor objects now, and keep an umbrella handy - you're going to need it! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Today will be the warmest and sunniest day this week, so get outside and enjoy Bay Area! Tomorrow will be a bit cooler and cloudier with isolated showers, mainly across the North Bay. Rain, and even some storms, will arrive Friday and continue into the weekend. Get ready for a big cool down too!

Rain is on the way later this week and this weekend, Bay Area! A large cutoff low is currently swirling offshore, expected to impact California starting Thursday. Storms are possible into Friday. A second storm will push in this weekend, keeping rain chances going through Sunday.

A time-lapse view of tonight's sunset over downtown San Francisco and the Golden Gate:

Waves of light, scattered showers will move across the Bay Area once again Wednesday afternoon so keep the umbrella and rain jacket handy! But appreciate the cooler, wetter weather while it lasts because sunshine and another heat up returns just in time for the weekend! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Is the weather going to create any issues for the Artemis 2 launch tomorrow?! Luckily, during the two hour launch window starting at 6:24 PM ET, it should be dry! Fingers crossed for a perfect launch, it doesn't look like the weather should create any major issues🤞 @kpixtv.bsky.social

Who's ready to see more home runs during the MLB season?! Did you know that warmer temperatures actually make it easier for a baseball to fly through the air? I'll break down the science/physics behind weather and baseball in this week's Zooming around with Zoe! @kpixtv.bsky.social

After a hot Sunday, get ready for a cool down Bay Area! For the first time since early March, highs will be at/below average. Tues-Thurs will be the coolest, cloudiest, and breeziest days with the slight chance for light rain mainly Wed PM. Warmer/drier again by next weekend! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Story time: giggles on live TV edition If you know me, you know I love a good dad joke. I thought I had enough time to tell a joke before realizing there was only 10 seconds left in the show...so this was me quickly trying to pivot😅 Hopefully you get some giggles from it too!

Are you heading to the Yankees vs Giants game today?! Make sure to wear plenty of sunscreen and drink lots of water, especially if your seats are in the direct sun! High pressure won't dominate for much longer...cooler, cloudier, windier, and potentially wetter weather returns next week!

The gray whales are still hanging around in the Bay!🐳 There were two right in front of the SF Yacht Club and wave organ - a BIG one and a smaller one that spouted on and off for about 10 minutes! I love living here #sanfrancisco #bayarea

Who is ready for cooler weather!? It's been HOT in the Bay Area for the past week, and it's going to stay well above average through the weekend. Luckily, by next week, cooler and wetter weather will return across California. Enjoy the rest of this early dose of summer heat! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Calling all Bay Area whale watchers/enthusiasts! If you live in San Francisco, you don't have to go far to see whales today... There has been a couple Gray whales hanging out and spouting right next to Crissy Field Beach the past few days🐳 Head on over to see them for yourself! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Happy Saturday - and happy end to this historic March heat wave, Bay Area! It's still going to be warm this weekend, don't get me wrong, but at least we aren't going to be feeling all time record hot March temperatures. Head to the coast if you really want to beat the heat. @kpixtv.bsky.social

Over 100 locations west of the Mississippi River will be breaking, if not smashing daily high temperature records this afternoon...and then again tomorrow🥵 The most dangerous heat is across NV/CA/AZ where 100°+ highs are likely through Sunday...happy first days of spring🙃 @kpixtv.bsky.social

Finding ways to beat this insane heat in San Francisco in one of the best ways possible… Tried e-foiling today, and got into the Bay for the first time! Plus we saw WHALES super close to shore. I’ll post more videos in a bit. What an incredible day, I am so grateful🤩🤯

I'm sure you've heard meteorologists talking about high pressure...but have you ever really understood it??? High pressure causes sinking air. Air that sinks towards the ground compresses. Compressing air naturally heats it up. Make sense? When high pressure gets stuck in place, we get heat waves!

Almost every part of the Bay Area is going to tie or break all time record high temperatures for the month of March. It's never been this hot for this prolonged period of time this early in the year. Find ways to beat the heat before a 'cool down' moves in by the weekend. @kpixtv.bsky.social

From San Francisco to Oakland, Redwood City to Santa Rosa daily high temperature records were broken this afternoon once again. More records will likely be broken tomorrow, and again Thursday, and again Friday...find ways to beat the heat because it's sticking around all week. @kpixtv.bsky.social

It’s not just daily record highs being broken, but the hottest temperatures EVER felt in the month of March…and multiple days in a row of it🥵 This heat wave will stick around through Friday, gradually cooling down into the weekend. Find ways to beat the heat until then! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Who needs a giggle to finish off the weekend?! After the morning news is wrapped up, I record weather hits to go on the website. Thank goodness, this blooper wasn't on live television😅 I feel like it's harder to speak when it's a recording vs when I'm live! Anybody else?! @kpixtv.bsky.social

WHY is there going be a heat wave across the West Coast this week? I'm sure you've heard me say the term 'high pressure' before...but do you actually know what that means? And why it's bringing us near to record breaking heat for March? Check out this week's Zoomin' with Zoe to find out!

Spring doesn't start until March 20th, but it's going to feel a lot more like summer over the next week across the West🔥 It's the first time the NWS Bay Area has EVER issued a Heat Advisory in the month of March...and it's going to last all week. Find ways to beat the heat! @kpixtv.bsky.social

It's not only Pi Day (3.14) but also Dress for STEM day! We wear purple to encourage young girls and women to get into science, technology, engineering, and math related fields! Females only make up 27-29% of STEM related jobs and we need more smart, capable ladies to join in on the fun!

March heat wave incoming!!🥵 HOW hot is it going to get across the Bay Area!? 15-25° above average, in the mid to upper 70s along the coast and mid to upper 80s inland. We'll be right on the cusp of breaking our ALL TIME record high temperatures for the month of March. @kpixtv.bsky.social

If you thought it was hot the past few days in the Bay Area...get ready for an even BIGGER heat up!!! Monday/Tuesday next week will be the hottest. Highs will be near to record breaking for March - near 90° inland. Prepare now and find ways to beat the heat, especially if you don't have A/C!

It was another lovely day across the Bay Area...but can you believe today was the coolest we will feel for at LEAST the next 10 days. Highs will warm to around 90° inland by early next week - near record breaking hot for the month of March. Find ways to beat the heat! @kpixtv.bsky.social

HOW do scientists know the climate is warming? It's as simple as reading a line graph... But why are scientists concerned? I break it all down on this week's Zoomin' with Zoe! @kpixtv.bsky.social

It's one of the warmest starts to March in decades across a lot of the Bay Area, with even more heat on the way today! Although it will cool down a bit tomorrow and Tuesday, highs will remain above average for most. And get ready for even WARMER weather late next week! @kpixtv.bsky.social
