the next few days. here's a look at what's happening right now on the satellite radar composite image. you can see some areas of showers over in the central valley and well to our south, but nothing is happening in the way of precipitation right now in the bay area, although we have lingering clouds and there's obviously some moisture in the atmosphere being picked up by our radar. now winds are pretty calm right now. earlier in the evening, we had pretty breezy conditions, kind of gusty near the coastline. right now, wind speeds are under ten miles per hour across the entire region. and what a warm up from last night this time. ten degrees warmer right now at fairfield. eight degrees warmer in concord, 3 to 5 degrees warmer around the bay shoreline than at this time last night. so let's move along and take a look at current temperature readings, as we also look along the bay and out toward the bay bridge from our exploratorium camera. temperatures are in the low 50s right now at san francisco, oakland, uh, san mateo, half moon bay, mid 50s at hayward and san jose. and now, as we look uh- across the bay from emeryville, of the temperature readings up north mid to upper 40s at santa rosa and petaluma, low 50s at napa, fairfield and

concord, 50 degrees at livermore. now let's check out our forecast headlines. we'll have lingering clouds overnight, but tomorrow will be sunnier, milder and drier than these last two days have been. and for the remainder of the week, we're looking at sunny days and a warming trend. so some very nice spring like weather is coming our way. here's the forecast animation overnight. starting at midnight, there'll be some lingering clouds until about 5 a.m. when the morning commute begins. then we'll see the clouds getting thinner and thinner and lots of sunshine tomorrow. although there will be clouds passing by as well, so we'll call it a partly cloudy day, but with bright bursts of sunlight overnight. low temperatures will be generally in the mid to upper 40s. a little bit chillier in the far north, where lows will drop down to about 40 at santa rosa and 39 at lakeport. onto tomorrow's highs under mainly sunny afternoon skies. 56 at half moon bay, 61 here in san francisco, right around the bay shoreline. we'll see highs ranging from 64 to nearly 68 degrees inland. east bay up to about 68 at concord, 69 at fairfield. up in the north bay, 70 at santa rosa,
11:21 pm
and down in the south bay, a high of 69 at san jose. so it certainly is. will be starting to warm up tomorrow, and it will get even warmer going into midweek. as you look at the accuweather seven day forecast wednesday and thursday, the warming will sort of peak around 80 degrees in our inland areas, mid to upper 70s around the bay shoreline. there'll be a minor 2 degrees cooldown on friday when it turns a bit breezy, but temperatures bounce right back up to around 80 degrees inland. on saturday. so even going into next weekend, we can expect mild, sunny and dry are typical spring like weather. the kind of weather i think we've all been sort of waiting for. >> yeah, and two degrees. nothing compared to 20 degree drops. >> that from what was it thursday into saturday a 20 degree drop in our high temperatures. unbelievable >> yeah. >> it was pretty winter like. >> yeah. all right. spencer. thanks. okay. yeah well, a wild save at a hockey game and it didn't happen on the ice. how a fan's fast reflexes stopped a ♪ you've got a friend in me ♪ ♪
