11:21 pm
are favorable. but here in the bay area, we'll have favorable viewing conditions, but only about 30% or 34% of totality will be visible to us. but we'll we'll have great weather tomorrow. sunny skies and high temperatures climbing into the upper 60s to about 70 around the bay shoreline and mainly low to mid 70s in our inland areas. so nice. mild day tomorrow and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. more mild to warm weather is coming our way. tuesday wednesday and thursday especially. we'll see high temperatures in the low 80s inland, up to about 80 around the bay shoreline and nearly 70 on the coast those two days. then on friday, it turns sharply cooler by about 12 to 14 degrees in some locations, and temperatures won't begin to rebound until next sunday. >> i spent part of your forecast thinking how i could incorporate total eclipse of the heart into a pun. >> that great song. >> yeah, love that song, but i couldn't. maybe you can think of something better. >> i'll give it some thought. okay. oh, sorry. >> thanks, spencer.
