share of some drizzly spots in the early part of the day. so let's take a look at the forecast animation going into the evening hours starting at 6 p.m. notice areas of pockets of drizzle offshore. you see those little green dots there? we're not likely to see very much of that move onshore, but it's possible that there could be some spotty drizzle on some of our land areas going into the late night and overnight hours, but the forecast animation indicates no measurable rain. so as we look at rainfall estimates zero. but again, we could see trace amounts here and there. it certainly has been cooler than average, but a little bit of a warming trend is developing. in the next couple of days. i'll show you that and what the rest of the weekend will look like in my accuweather seven day forecast a little bit later. j.r. >> spencer. thanks so much. we look forward to that. now to your voice. your vote with the democratic national convention. just days away. this is a live look at the convention floor in chicago. come monday it will be packed with people. the first day of the convention is expected to feature speeches by president biden, first lady jill biden and former secretary of

us, so they're coming closer, putting on a show. they are indeed the weather. put on a show today, too. here's a look at what's going on. checking out our satellite radar composite image. you can see rain in northern parts of northern california and certainly to our north up into oregon and washington. thanks to that low pressure system, you see spiraling, spiraling there offshore. we still have lingering clouds here in the bay area. it's breezy and some spotty drizzle has been cited. 18 mile per hour gusts at santa rosa right now. stronger gusts, wind gusts over at livermore and san jose right now. so it's breezy all around the bay area. mainly cloudy and certainly a lot cooler than at this time. yesterday, 11 degrees uh- here we go. 11 degrees cooler over concord and fairfield. nine degrees cooler than yesterday at this time in novato, and four degrees cooler here in san francisco. taking a look at current temperature readings you see at 66 here in the city, right now, low 70s at oakland and hayward, 82 at san jose. redwood city, 7563 at half moon bay. and not surprisingly, it's sort of cloudy, foggy and socked in there at the golden gate, 75 degrees up north in santa rosa right now, petaluma 68. mid to

upper 70s at fairfield and napa and concord 77. at livermore. and on we go to this view from emeryville. looking back toward san francisco. and these are the forecast headlines. it will be cloudy and drizzly in some spots tonight and tomorrow. bright and breezy, sunnier skies than we had today for sure. and then early next week, we expect sunnier weather with a brief warm up. but for tonight, this is the forecast animation, showing an increase in some high clouds and mid-level clouds as well as the usual low clouds near the coast and locally out over the bay. we'll see spotty drizzle, a lot of it offshore between now and about midnight. it will be not quite so drizzly after midnight, but some patchy drizzle could work its way onshore during the early morning and overnight hours. overnight low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s, a little bit milder in fremont, san jose over in antioch, where lows will drop down to about 6062 degrees. then highs tomorrow 63 at half moon bay. breezy at the coast, of course, 67 here in the city, right around the bay shoreline. tomorrow. look for highs in the low to mid 70s and cooler than

average weather inland tomorrow as well, with mid 80s at concord, antioch and livermore where typically this time of the year we would see low or maybe even low to mid 90s. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. we will see a bit of warming on monday and tuesday as high temperatures inland on those two days will reach between 90 and about 94 degrees mid to upper seconds around the bay shoreline. but then it cools down again wednesday, going into the latter part of the week. so that little warm up is just for a couple of days. then we get back into cooler than average weather and perhaps some dreary looking skies. more dreary, more dreary is coming our way. partly dreary, i should say. >> thank you so much, spencer jr. well up next, the a's and giants meeting for the last time as bay area rivals at the coliseum this weekend. an emotional jose canseco returns, that is, to the coliseum to become a member of the a's hall of fam a heatwave, it's kinda chilly in here. oh, that's because i'm pre-cooling the house with the ac before 4 pm. then i'll turn our thermostat to a comfortable 78 or higher

season, it's going to be gone for good. and in our case, it's after tomorrow's game. so i've been here a lot. i love this place so i'm going to miss it. it's going to be sad. you know we'll see how we get through tomorrow. but today is just about winning a game. and you know, probably a little bit more i don't want to say emphasis. you're trying to win every game. but this is the last bay bridge series, so it'd be nice to play well prior to the game. >> the a's inducted their 2024 hall of fame class, including legendary broadcaster bill king, shortstop miguel tejada, catcher terry steinbach and slugger jose canseco. former a's manager tony la russa introduced canseco and helped him into his new green. he's still got those pipes, those guns into his new green jacket and canseco couldn't hold back his emotions. being back at the coliseum, i'm an emotional wreck right now. >> can't believe this is being given this chance. the opportunity and the honor to

surfing is performed by hopping on a moving bike with one foot on the seat and the other on the handlebars, and staying on until the forward motion stops. yesterday. 19 year old brock johnson set out to break the guinness world record here of 80m. he's excited right there. the bmx stunt cyclist shattered the previous record mark. in fact, he didn't stop until he had traveled 200m. >> this whole feeling on top of the bike is just surreal. and that was just truly amazing and what a great gift to be out here on these bicycles. >> after guinness verifies the video, johnson will become the

world record holder. spencer, have you ever tried something like this? >> no, and i never will. you never. it doesn't look very safe, but i applaud him for the talent and the skill that it takes to do this. >> what we don't see here are the takes to get to this point. and i'm sort of interested in how bad the falls are. i'm concerned about his safety. >> well, i assume he has padding and a helmet or some protection just in case of a mishap. yes. >> this is a quick live look from our mount tam cam. there was a rainbow here, but i think it has sort of diminished in it. this is some odd weather we're seeing right now. >> this is very odd. well, for this time of the year, this is what we'd expect to see maybe in november or december. but hey, we'll take it in august. strong.
