>> here's a look at the satellite radar composite image. you see the marine layer beginning to deepen a bit and expand. not that little wimpy marine layer we had the last few days, so it's provided some cooling and temperatures have dropped a bit. and you see the wind speed is helping that cooling effect near the coast we've got breezes onshore breezes up to about 20mph, and the temperature change over the last 24 hours is pretty impressive. 14 degrees cooler in napa, ten degrees cooler in concord, 12 degrees cooler in livermore than at this time yesterday. so move along. here's a look at the low clouds moving in over san francisco over parts of san francisco. 63 degrees here in the city right now. oakland 68, hayward 75. low 80s at san jose and redwood city 57 at half moon bay. nice view from emeryville. looking westward, other temperature readings right now up north 75 at santa rosa, low 70s at petaluma and napa, 87 in fairfield, in low 90s at concord and livermore, where yesterday at this time, they were both in the triple digits. looking along the embarcadero now from our rooftop camera, these are the forecast headlines. heat wave continues through midweek and our inland

areas tomorrow and tuesday. a bit of cooling relief. it started today. it will continue the next two days. but wednesday and thursday it starts heating up again and those triple digit temperatures will bounce right back. so the heat wave clearly has not ended. and as a result, the excessive heat warning remains in effect even through these cooler days. until 11 p.m. wednesday. and under these conditions, of course, there is an increased risk of heat related illness. here's the overnight forecast animation showing the marine layer pushing steadily across the bay and locally inland. it will reside there until through the early morning hours and then by mid-morning to midday, we'll see it burning back to the coastlin, giving us a mainly sunny day away from the coast. overnight lows will be mainly in the upper 50s to low 60s. highs tomorrow 60s at the coast, 70s and low 80s around the bay. shoreline. low to mid 90s inland tomorrow and even cooler on tuesday. well, this says sunday afternoon highs doesn't it. that that well that here we go. here's the monday and now we get into tuesday. even cooler than what we have have in store for

tomorrow. but on wednesday and thursday we're going to see quite a warm up. and this these graphics seem to want to repeat themselves don't they. so i'll just try to skip ahead to hard to know how that happened. the accuweather seven day forecast. so a couple of cooler days tomorrow and tuesday. heating up again wednesday and thursday in fact up to about 106 in the warmest inland spots on thursday friday though, and into saturday begins another cool down and we'll be certainly thankful for that. >> well, it is selection sunday for major league baseball pitchers and reserve position players. the giants have two players that will be in texas later this month. the ace, logan webb, earns his first all star nod. he leads the national league in innings pitch. he's been a workhorse and joining him is outfielder ramos. what a great story. he's been since being called up may 8th. he's tied for the team lead with 12 home runs after today's game in cleveland. manager bob melvin sharing the good news with his guys for the first time. >> a right handed pitcher, logan webb. yeah elliott ramos

he's the first a's relief pitcher to make an all star game since liam hendriks in 2019. the 25 year old flamethrower has thrown a big league best 278 pitches of 100 miles or more. that is fast, and he leads all major league rookies with 14 saves. >> it's really, really surreal and really, it feels great, you know, to just look at the work i've done and, you know, to sit here and have that. that recognition now is awesome. it's what every player works for, you know, to have the success i've had, you know, in a new role this year and, you know, be able to represent our guys. it's really an honor. >> in a nice coincidence, two of the a's best relievers of all time taking part in the first pitch. it's raleigh fingers to dennis eckersley for the strike. great to see those guys. top of the first. baltimore's anthony santander high deep to right. it stays fair one nothing orioles a single and an error later. heston kjerstad makes it a four run inning with a three run shot. baltimore scored four runs with two outs right there. ouch.

a's lose six three. warriors hosting the lakers and the california classic. bronny james out with left knee swelling early in this one. daquan plowden up top to marquis bolden, who throws it down for the alley oop. warriors up double digits most of the way. lakers first round pick it's dalton. connect led la with 12 points. the steal and then tough basket inside hoop and one. the dubs ethan thompson game-high 27 last night. backed it up tonight. forces a steal. gets the break going and then reward him on the other end. slams it home. nice job there. defense to offense. and a couple plays later dubs turn it over. but thompson hustling right here steals it. and another slam. he had a game high 22 points 11 rebounds. that's a double doubl. most popular man in the building. warriors win 9268. they're two. and oh the host the kings in the finale of the california classic at chase center on wednesday. so if you're going by warriors summer hoops i mean get the parade going. they're two and oh, it's a little bit different though

i'm still impressed with that. >> mason miller you know he throws gas. and as a guy who used to pitch i only dreamed of throwing that hard fast. >> you ever threw a mid 80s okay. >> but low to mid 80s 8485. >> you had the nasty stuff. you're like a nothing like that guy. nothing like that. >> that's why we're sitting here. >> thanks so much. well, it's the final hours of the alameda county fair. we'll learn
