On Memorial Day weekend at Crown Beach in Alameda, you might expect to see people swimming and families picnicking. But Sunday, the sand was virtually empty. The cold wind seemed only inviting for kite surfers.
A ceremony in San Francisco on Sunday honored those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the military.Davis, along with some family members and friends said they decided to make the most out of the holiday weekend and come to the lake. But this colder weather was not exactly what they had in mind for this outdoor event.
"Not so good this year," said Davis. "It’s cold. Usually, it’s warm and nice; everybody is outside filling up the park but this year…"So when will that warmer weather come? "We are going to see this colder pattern continuing," said Dial Hoang, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Hoang said it could be two to three weeks before things heat up. He said this gray May we’re seeing is not entirely unusual.
"This is not an unusual thing to see during this time of year," said Hoang. "The coastal stratus does begin to form around April and May."
