Cloverdale

Downtown hitting the mid 60s and the North Bay, mostly in the low 70s today at 72 degrees for the high in Santa Rosa.

Cloverdale also at 72 and Petaluma Petaluma 70 degrees for the East Bay temperatures, mostly in the upper 60s.

Today we will see.

Some cloud cover moving in by the afternoon and for our inland communities.

We're in the low 60s for the high and the North Bay hitting the low to mid 60s today.

Ukiah at 63, Cloverdale at 66, Calistoga at 68 degrees.

Looking to the East Bay, we'll see those partly cloudy skies for this afternoon.

64 for the high in Berkeley, 65 in Oakland, and 64 in Fremont.

For the North Bay, temperatures in the 70s tomorrow as well.

76 degrees for Cloverdale, 73 in Napa, and 64 out in Bodega Bay.

For the East Bay, temperatures hitting the upper 60s in Berkeley, low 70s in Oakland, and low 70s in Union City.

For our inland communities, temperatures only in the 60s for Pittsburgh tomorrow, 70s in Antioch.

It has 50 daily riders per kilometer, or about 260 per station, so these are actually very high stats overall.

What's notable is that the original plan actually mandated that it run all the way to Cloverdale for a length of 110 kilometers, but it was allowed to open in segments in order to get local rail service first without needing to wait for a full build-out.

One thing that's notable about SMART is that it is very highly intermodal.

About half of all departures are timed to a Golden Gate ferry departure from Larkspur Terminal into downtown San Francisco itself, the Embarcadero building, and it is also tightly integrated with a multi-use bicycle and pedestrian trail that parallels almost the entire length of the line.

The original portion of the line was actually the centermost portion, running from San Rafael to Santa Rosa.

Only once this portion was built did they actually start extending southward from San Rafael to the Larkspur terminal for the ferry, and they are presently in the process of expanding northward.

Windsor Station is already open, Healdsburg Station is under construction, and eventually the system will reach Cloverdale Station.

My personal hope is that they don't stop there and they start inaugurating regional service and maybe make it all the way up to Arcata and Eureka, but that's in the far, far off future if that ever does end up happening.

Struggling to get above those mid-70s.

Cloverdale at 74.

And for our East Bay communities, mostly in the upper 60s today.

Berkeley's at 68.

Little bit warmer in San Mateo coming in at 53 degrees.

Some cooler spots in the north, they were Cloverdale, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, in the 40s.

St. Helena down to 45 degrees.

This morning, we'll find those temperatures in the 40s and low 50s.

And a battle against the flames near the Mendocino-Sonoma County border.

The Coulee Fire charred more than 11,000 acres west of Cloverdale.

This fire started Friday as a planned burn, but then it grew out of control.

And today, the devastation caused by fires is especially top of mind because it is the 35th year anniversary of the devastating Oakland Hills fire.
