thursday. feature on lake powell was formed from sandstone dating back 190 million years. national park service says changing water levels driven by drought in the west probably contributed to the collapse. joined right now by spencer christian. i was deep in solano county earlier. it was 90 degrees. i said. i got to get back to san francisco in the mid 60s. >> exactly. and now it's in the lower 60s, probably down to about 61. wow. it is still up to around 90. some of our warmer inland locations, though, but that pattern won't be with us very long. here's a look at what's going on in the satellite radar composite image. we have an onshore flow. we've got clouds have been advancing and retreating and advancing and retreating. they'll make another advance later tonight, but we still have the breezy conditions with surface wind speeds up to almost 30mph here in san francisco right now, and up to about 18 19mph in many other locations. and it is several degrees warmer around the bay area than it was at this time yesterday. that doesn't necessarily mean a warming trend is coming our way. the cooling

will kick in tonight and it will be cooler tomorrow. right now it's 63 degrees here in san francisco, 67 in oakland, hayward, 68 8-80 san jose, 84 redwood city and 59 at half moon bay. and we have some low clouds at the golden gate earlier. they have lifted for a while. so let's take a look at our overnight conditions. coastal low clouds and drizzle will be with us once again. then tomorrow it'll be breezy and even breezier than now and much cooler than today. and early next week we'll have this cooler pattern continuing, perhaps more than just into early next week, maybe even to the end of next week. but for tonight, this is what we can expect that continuing onshore flow, there'll be some high clouds moving over before the low clouds redevelop at the coastline, and advance locally across the bay and locally inland. there'll be patches of drizzle along the coastline and some of it will move on shore, but it won't be very widespread now. overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s, a little bit milder in some of our farther inland locations like antioch, which will have a low of 66, and down in the south bay, san jose, a

low of 62 degrees. and then tomorrow, bright sunshine in most places away from the bay, away from the coast. i should say, with high temperatures ranging from about 65 in san francisco to 69 across the bay at oakland, many locations around the bay shoreline tomorrow will have bright skies, but with a few lingering clouds, so we'll call it partly cloudy to mostly sunny, certainly sunny inland tomorrow with high temperatures the highest in the mid to upper 80s tomorrow. now on monday we'll see a similar pattern. not much change in the high temperature range, so the cooling that starts tomorrow will certainly continue into early next week. tuesday pretty much the same pattern as well. mid or mid to upper 80s inland. we might see a couple of locations topping out at 90 or 91 on wednesday, but still there's no major warm up coming our way. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast. we get to the middle of the week wednesday, thursday, maybe some in the locations we'll reach 90 degrees. nothing higher than that. so it'll be a nice mild, cool to mild week ahead all the way into next weekend. >> today the gold medal game for team usa men's basketball with

warriors head coach steve kerr at the helm, stephen curry has said for years he wanted to win a gold medal and tonight he will go to sleep. an olympic champion for the first time, curry, with eight three pointers and 24 points, four of them in one two minute stretch in the fourth quarter, hitting his famous night night pose after the dagger. the team usa beats the host team france 9887 for their fifth straight gold. kevin durant becomes the first men's basketball player to win four gold medals for curry. the job is done. >> come on, we got that. go! one. two three. go. go to sleep. >> night night. >> i don't know what to tell y'all, man. this is. this is wild, bro. we did a lot in the game, but this one right here. this is up there. you're about to go out and get our gold medal. we it's a it's a one and done baby gold medal. do it like

>> thank you >> thank you guys. i appreciate that one. that that never gets old. i appreciate that so much guys. you mean the world to me. this place will always be home. and i'll never forget it. >> well he'll always be the workhorse to me of course, bumgarner threw out the first pitch to buster posey, and it was a strike. he's not officially retired. all the talk on the radio broadcast this afternoon was he could still throw a few innings. need be to the game. we go logan webb on the mound. he went seven innings. only gave up one run and struck out eight and got his 10th win of the year. giants down one, nothing in the fifth. brett wisely a hard shot down the line into the corner. two runners would score on this play and the giants take the lead.

that's what you like to see right there. they'll add another to take a 3 to 1 lead and new closer ryan walker made it interesting in the ninth. yes. interesting but got the job done. i guess all closers just want to amp up the drama a little bit. giants win 3 to 1 and our three games over 500 for the first time all season long. a's fans north of the border in toronto. you see him there. no score in the top of the sixth. brant rooker with a high drive left center field off the wall, initially ruled a double. rooker into second base, but he's not sure here what's going on. they review it and it hits the top of the wall. that's a home run. rooker gets to finish his home run trot for his 29th of the year. a's up one to nothing and it stands up all star mason willer will miller that is with three strikeouts to finish it in the ninth. a's win one nothing as four pitchers combined on a two hit shutout, and that after the break
