1. The National Weather Service forecast for this afternoon calls for mostly sunny skies with a high near 64 degrees with patchy fog after 11 p.m. and an overnight low around 53 degrees. Forecasters expect patchy fog before 11 a.m. Tuesday with gradual clearing and a high near 64 degrees.

2. Boating columnist Paul M.J. Suchecki in his latest column takes a look at the Sunset Series sailboat races that take place each Wednesday and provide a great start for sailors interested in racing. More details right here.
