all right, paul, some of us got outside today and it was gorgeous. >> it was so nice. >> it's sunny, let's go to beach as we ditched. like we're out, sorry, got to go. we got to go. these days don't come. >> that didn't even occur to me. >> never. and either of those days. >> but they set that up for

tomorrow though. a look at what's happening weather wise. a warm up today. a brief warm up. hope you're able to savor those temperatures. it is way up to the north. it will affect the wind field enough for temperatures to be retreating closer to average values as we head through the next couple of days. let's take a look at where we did top out today and those temperatures, they were on the whole about six, seven degrees above normal. not nearly that warm for petaluma. but 86 degrees in novato. and the onshore breeze did not go away, which an influence on temperatures, falling just short of 70 degrees, which is above normal. and along the coast, half moon bay, climbed up close to 60, but you fell short. and temperatures got

into the low 80s into the low to mid-80s. we are in for some changes as we head through the next few days. how things will change, which is stellifies out there. so about a 20-degree spread at the moment, kind of what you would expect in late may. a little fog will develop compared to what we would have this morning, but i mean a little more fog along the coast, some of it spreading across the bay and pushing into the trivalley. where it won't take too long for that fog to retreat. plenty of sunshine for most of the bay area. and that fog will be a bit more stubborn. temperatures tonight dropping down to the low to mid-50s. not a whole lot of variation out there. but tomorrow, we will warm up 3 to 4 degrees above normal and above average where we were today. some spots even more than that. a closer look. near

60 along the coast, roughly where you were today. upper 70s down the peninsula and to around 80 degrees. and a mix of upper 70s and the low 80s with the mid-80s the further inland you go. a mix of upper 70s around san francisco and oakland and with temperatures warming up in the north bay. and some spots getting up to the mid-80s, cooler the farther north you go in lake county. the winds will pick up throughout the afternoon. it's the same pattern that we've seen for the past several days. once again that onshore wind is going to be strongest in the afternoon with some of the strong gusts in the 20 to 30 miles an hour range. not that strong by bay area standards, but noticeable. temperatures will be a lot cooler as we head into the weekend. and napa valley, temperatures on saturday, only in the upper 60s. and that is substantially below normal. so we're in for a bit of a roller coaster ride over the course of the next seven days. a look at your seven-day forecast where we

will start with inland parts of the bay area where the temperatures will hit their bottom, the low part of the roller coaster on saturday with the highs in the upper 60s for most inland parts of the bay area. but we should be back to near average by the beginning of next week for the memorial day holiday on monday and the beginning of the abbreviated workweek on tuesday. a symbol of trend about a 10-degree drop from tomorrow to saturday and then bouncing back by 5 degrees or so in tomb for the end of the holiday weekend and the beginning of next week. not as much of a drop along the coast because you didn't warm up that much to begin with. but your temperatures will be even cooler. only the mid-50s on friday and saturday, and that is cold, even for coastal parts of the bay area for the unofficial part of summer. >> thanks, paul. time for a check of what's ahead. let's switch over. coming up at 6:00, we are following new developments with the fire that gutted the home of a well-known san francisco dog walker. his participants were rescued from the flames. it's the latest blow for a family that has been the target of racist threats. and i spoke to him about how they are

number. >> and one can be a rocky number. i thought it was risky as they said it would look good after week one. >> for all of us to see that, then we all should. >> and he spoke to their developed leadership. >> and i don't think that they will change. >> are you no longer one of the young guys? >> yeah, man, i'm a vet. >> they will hit them the next few days before preparing for the mini camp in june. hey, the project hit the links today to raise money for underserved kids. the fundraiser in danville and hi,

sergio romo. they did some big calls that were in attendance and it is t.j.'s super bowl ring that he wore with the broncos in 2016. >> it is such a big piece of jewelry. you can't wear that thing all the time. i should have worn it out here. i'm mad i didn't, but it's in a nice safe. >> i would have thought of all the events to reflect, bring it out. >> you can't swing with that thing on though. be gone. to baseball, it's opening day for the oakland ballers. they will begin the season with a two week road trip before playing their first home game in oakland, june 4. >> i think we'll kick

to humans. so every day smiley in charge of the program and her staff will cut up the food and make the long walk to the back, put on the disguise. >> and quitely walk away and watch from afar. >> so they are not associating the humans with food. >> reporter: the truth is, they're 100 years ago, almosted to extinct and now one of their biggest dangers is climate change. >> more intense storms in there and their ecosystem. so the larger the swells, the less likely that they will be successful to stay together. >> the white sharks are starting to go further north because the water is starting to become warmer, further up the coast than it ever has been. >> reporter: they started the program 20 years ago, but ran out of room when found this

year and they will help bridge the gap by taking some of the pups. >> that's a good idea and they will preserve them. >> reporter: although this swimmer is still too young to be a surrogate, they will help another pup learn the skills needed to swim back out to sea. >> absolutely adorable. that's it for us at 5:00. cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich starts right now. a neighborhood rallying around a san francisco dog walker after his home was gutted by flames. it's the latest blow for the family that has been the target of racist threats. >> and what have your last couple of weeks been like with the threats and the hate crime and this? >> some days i'm better than others. >> and especially not this family. plus drivers divided. are they better off without prop 22? the gig economy and major consequences.
