settled they will realize that biden probably won on the substance. >> but, usf professor had what some might call a hot take. he thinks there may be unintended consequences of a poor perform thanks can be helpful. >> if biden did well tonight do you think democrats would be enthused to go out there and keep fight something no. i think it will help the democrats because they are in a panic. because they are scared. there will be all kinds of debates and questions. i think biden will continue to, you know, be the captain of the ship no matter how weak or strong it is. and i think you are going to see a consolidation out of fear of what trump represents. >> how do supporters of president trump in the pay area feel about the performance? we were at watch parties in san francisco tonight and we found some trump voters there of all places who said . >> i heard it all before. there is nothing that i gleamed out

has tried to do his best for the country and trump is trump and he is, he was full of lies. >> this e selection choice between you need to get somewhere and there are a couple vehicles pull up, one is a model t., the other is the electric chair and you know, i think the choice is clear. he might not be as sharp as he once was but he believes in democracy. >> reporter: but biden's performance sounded the alarm for those that are concerned with his age and ability to serve another term. >> i think the democrats are going to have an interesting conversation and the party will have an interesting conversation ahead of it to decide is there a way back from this evening for president biden or do they need a different candidate? >> tonight's debate was not just unusual for being the earliest in the course of an election cycle in american

triple digit heat is looking likely. we will get into the details of that in a moment. the nice weather looking out from the hotel. the fog hanging out at the coast. pushing across the bay. temperatures in the 50s, holding on to 62 degrees. but it is another evening for inland spots to get free air-conditioning, enjoy it while it lasts. track the fog while we head into the morning. reduce visibilities for the morning. it will not last long. the fog will push across the bay and make some progress for the inland valleys for an hour or two of daylight tomorrow. retreating to the coast by midmorning and along the coast, we should see the fog backing away, allowing for the sunshine to peak through for cool friday afternoon. temperatures tonight, lower 50s. warmest spots in the upper 50s. the warmest spots, ending up near or slightly above average for highs by tomorrow afternoon. lower to middle 80s. these numbers, a couple degrees warmer than today. reasonable for late june, on the warm end

of the spectrum. 92 degrees in antioch. not out of control. the temperatures along the coast. around 60 degrees. no big changes there. upper 60s, 70s for san francisco and oakland. and the temperatures in the north bay, similar to what we are going to see in the santa clara valley. mostly middle 80s for the highs by tomorrow afternoon. a lot of stuff going on this weekend. the second concert in the stern grove concerts. temperatures in the middle 60s by sunday afternoon with slightly earlier part of the sunshine. the warm up will be much more noticeable hitting the end of the workweek, end of the weekend into next week. the 6-10 day outlook takes you through the fourth of july weekend. above normal temperatures through the fourth of july weekend and beyond that, the outlook is

showing a good chance. i was showing the model data this evening. slowing this kind of pattern, warm temperatures for most of the western u.s., hot temperatures, in fact, sticking around through much of the month of july. that might be what we are in for. let's focus on the next seven-days. first of all, inland temperatures, reaching up with spots in the upper 80s and 90s. to more 90s in the forecast on sunday. then the heat, really, it settles in. three days of triple digit or near triple digit temperatures monday, tuesday, wednesday, increasing the concern it could last thursday, friday, saturday, the majority of the weekend. likely to get heat advisories for inland bay area. a warm up but not as intense. the temperatures in the 70s through the weekend and then into the 80s. the wild card is, will we have off shore winds to go along with the hot weather? right now, we will not lose the onshore influence. it means bayside and coastal temperatures are not going to

be out of control hot. the warmest days on the coast, 70 degrees, tuesday, wednesday, thursday. but, if those off shore winds do develop that would push the marine influence farther off shore and would allow coastal temperatures to maybe get up to 80 degrees approaching 90 around the bay. that is a big if at this point. it is in the relm of possibilities. we will continue to evaluate. >> that would be something. hoping for the best, we don't want any fire danger >> no. >> that will go up. >> yes, inland >> yes, yes. >> we will be keeping you posted on all of that. thank you, paul. nobody can figure out why these mysterious structures are popping up all over the world. now they are back. warriors bizo draft day. we will tell what you happened and who was the result.

weekend. giants dodgers. >> tomorrow, i am going tomorrow. they had a good run. when you are trying to climb up the division, you win three straight, to lose the last one it just, you feel it slipping. three streps forward and one back. and now, those dodgers, boy, they are enjoying the view from the penthouse. best way for the giants to tee it up with them, get hot going in. rare chance at a 4-game sweep on the cubs today. sometimes you get lucky. before this 6 inning. but, matos, everyone is safe here. now, scored from third, tied the game up at 3. nine innings, not enough. closer coming in, not available they want with luke jackson. he had just enough if are it to bounce out, a two-run homer, put chicago up 5-3. base runners in the 10th but wilmer
