5:16 pm
come on. fashion plays a huge role in my life. it lets me have a personality. it brings it to life. it fluctuates a little bit and it shows that versatility. so i've always knew i wanted to be different. i've always done my best to be different, to be unique. so i feel like my fashion has reflected that all. all my life. i take pride in what i wear. it's a representation of who i am. it's just a great way to express your creativity as well. i look so good, don't i? i look so good, don't i? i never follow a trend. i'm always the opposite. i'll go back in time if i need to. i just love being able to, you know, embrace things that maybe people never got to experience. i'm very diverse person, so i feel like different styles work very well on me. i like to dress up sometimes. i like to dress down like street style. i like to wear like designer things like sherpa material, like i'm obsessed. i have way too much of it. what clothes appeal to you? clothes that make me joyful, that are comfy, that are functional. pretty much what i'm
5:17 pm
wearing today. my biggest fashion rule is stop wearing socks with sandals. it doesn't make sense. and especially flip flops i love socks. what is it about socks? i don't know, like they just keep my feet warm. but what socks are you wearing right now, some white socks. i think. yeah, i think they're from target, i look good. i love it, very fashionable. so the socks with the flip flops. i know it's in. okay, let's talk about our weather. it's a long weekend for many people. maybe barbecuing right now as we speak. yes. just beautiful weather outside. even if, you know, you didn't have the day off. you get outside, you got that sunshine. it was just so comfortable out there. we're going to take you right now across the bay and show you what it's like in case, you did have to work, and now you're heading over to family and friends, we'll show you here as we roll throughout the bay area, san francisco right now at 61 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds. so it's still cool by the coastline, we'll be down
5:18 pm
here to some 50s through seven and also 8:00. if it's not san francisco and you're going anywhere near the bay. also relatively cool right now, 63 degrees under sunny skies and those 50s coming in as well, eight, nine and ten. and through the inland valleys. just gorgeous out here. we had some temperatures in the 80s today. right now 78 mostly sunny skies. we'll dip it down to 71 here at 7 p.m. and then those 60s also on the way here through eight and also 9:00. now high pressure as we roll through tomorrow is going to continue to keep it warm. that storm track. well off to the north. so with that storm track moving well up towards canada and alaska, it's going to allow this warm air to move in over california. but the other thing we're going to see tomorrow that's going to make it feel a little bit different, is we will have some fog that's forming throughout the bay area. so i did want to go ahead and get you a look at that. and you can see as we started off on your tuesday morning, as many of you head back to work, get back into your typical routine here.
5:19 pm
we'll see that fog through the coastline also moving into parts of the east bay, contra costa, alameda counties and for the south bay and some patchy clouds up here towards marin, napa, sonoma counties. we will see that clear back through a lot of the bay area as we head through tomorrow afternoon, except for some of that cloud cover lingering right there at the coastline. so overall, that's going to help to keep our temperatures from getting too hot. tomorrow we'll stay with some low 50s to start. i think overall that's a nice beginning here for us over the east bay. 53, san francisco 51. and right there in the north bay, we're going to be at 50 daytime highs as we move through tomorrow. going to stay right about near average. so down here in the south bay we're still coming in with some great weather that's going to put us at 75 in san jose, 76 in los gatos over to the east bay, 73 vallejo 75 danville now still cool near the bay 66 here in hayward, going to the beaches. 55 and half moon bay. so jacket weather along our coastline, then out here towards redwood city and palo alto. we'll be in the low 70s up to san francisco, 59 in the outer
5:20 pm
sunset, 63 in the mission, and right here through the north bay, 79 in santa rosa and back towards napa will be at 78. now, as we look ahead towards the upcoming weekend, we're still going to see that area. high pressure just kind of on and off as we head through this week. kind of just moving in and out, helping to keep some of that hot air in place and notice that our temperatures will actually get up to 90 on thursday. we'll dip it down a little bit this weekend, but certainly not cold upper 70s and low 80s. and then the way it looks next week, we could be into the hottest weather stretch we've seen so far this year with plenty of upper 80s. so we're doing really good here. but we know through the central us and the eastern half, there's been quite a bit of severe weather. i did want to show you tomorrow, next round of severe weather, primarily over texas, with a chance of tornadoes and strong thunderstorms. so any connecting flights through dallas will certainly have some delays right here in san francisco. even some 70s rolling in wednesday, thursday and friday. and for the inland valleys, we'll get up to that 90 on thursday. and looking
