5:46 pm
>> it's back. >> thursday and friday and then again next week. there is actually two spikes in warmth that are coming our way. thursday and friday is the first one. we kind of started that change at about 10:00 this morning. the reason why i would say that, look outside the window from the virtual set. you would be hard pressed to find any marine layer bay area wide. around 10:00 in the morning, the last of it disappeared. it may not come back until friday. just a quick replay at 9:00 a.m. we started out as we had marine layer gray over the city into the north bay valleys. see the time out there at 8:30. watch the beautiful high resolution reflex. and melted down by 10:00, 11:00, it's done. it got pushed away and now it's gone. and for tomorrow and thursday, it is probably and almost certainly not coming back at all. we will have clear skies to start each day and
5:47 pm
clear afternoons and those will be the warmest day. friday morning it's going to come back. now watch the futurecast taking us ahead to friday and watch it fill in that bay again, so it will come in on friday. that will help bring down temperatures. but just a big view of how we're about to go through the swing in temperatures. what's been happening for the last few days, weave within under the influence of that surge, coming our way. that has helped push them through. but with changes over the next two days is that trough that will get replaced. big dominating ridge that will start to build out here. that's how you warm up. this is going to look like i like to call this, the atmosphere breathing. each afternoon, the warmth takes over migrating out of the desert southwest. so by thursday, now we started to see
5:48 pm
more shades of yellow and orange showing up. this is just showing you the mid levels how air gets transported as you see the winds also. here is a better way to look at it. are we above average or below thursday? these color shades on here are showing you clearly about 10 degrees, 15 degrees above average. this is not the peak. thursday and friday will be, tomorrow on wednesday, you're into the low 80s again, which is not that far. you've within hotter than these numbers a couple of times. when we're sitting close to 90, some of those inland locations on thursday will get to 90. that's about the time for where we have been so far this year. we've had two of those come through in a season so far. i'll show you what's coming our way and we will start out the inland micro
5:49 pm
climates and right in front of me will show you that extreme. we're going 90 by the time we get to thursday. and at least for the immediate bay, temperatures will come down and we will keep that going and pull some of the marine layer into the inland valleys by saturday. and then you'll warm right back up again. we will talk more about next week's warm up as we get closer to it. it's for the middle of next week, it does appear to be on track r o or on par. now through the bay, wile the temperatures will warm up, these two days will stand out here on wednesday and thursday. it's straight sun in those terrariums. so it is one of those times that's kind of nice in the morning as you would wake up and you see the sunshine. but you will warm up quite a bit. >> thanks, darren. let's switch over to sara. >> coming up at 6:00, a pop of color that could breathe some
