'Doesn't feel normal for us': Muggy weather hits SF Bay Area

The air around the SF Bay Area is thick, hot and sticky. Why?

"We've had an anomalously high volume of moisture content over the area," said Brian Garcia, a forecaster with the National Weather Service office in Monterey, Calif."With that, we have no significant winds to blow out the moisture. When things warm up in the afternoon, it gets muggy. It doesn't feel normal for us."

Garcia said he moisture is coming from a trough of low pressure over the region."It's literaly just moisture off the Pacific," Garcia said.The humid weather is in the forecast again on Thursday. Garcia said that as high pressure builds over the region on Friday and Saturday, the weather will shift, with humidity levels dropping as temperatures rise. Afternoon highs in inland valleys will be in the low-to-high 80s on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and in the 90s on Sunday.
