California begins the morning under a cool marine layer, with gray clouds drifting inland and a light breeze off the Pacific.

Early temperatures sit in the low to mid-50s near the coast, with clouds lingering through the morning hours. Skies gradually brighten late morning, setting up a comfortable afternoon with highs climbing into the low 70s across much of the metro area.

Travel conditions remain smooth, with dry roads and no visibility issues expected once the marine layer lifts.
