holiday weekend. heat has debilitating effect. the longer it lasts it takes not as much heat every day to weigh you down more. this is going to be a major story over the next several days. the heat extended to next week. triple temperatures through the inland bay area and pleasant along the coast. you will have company, a lot of people will be heading your way. the red flag warning continues all of the way through the fourth of july. expires at 5:00 a.m. on friday. let's take a look at forecast humidity levels and the wind arrows on the map as well. humidity will be running in the 10-15% early in the morning and bottoming out in the single digits for a few hours every day. that is low. it goes along with off shore winds far in the north bay. the north bay mountains. having the off shore winds at higher elevations and that is a bad combination. hot temperatures, low humidity, and the off shore winds, that is what the firecrews are concerned about. low humidity levels will persist as long as

the heat does and that is for the future. the next seven-days will be hot, still warm right now in concord, 87 degrees. middle 70s in santa rosa. you are backing down, lower 70s for oakland and down to the lower 60s. san francisco, some of the coastal air making its way into downtown. the temperatures later tonight, dropping down to the 60s. the 60s and the 70s, well above average for this time of the year. higher jumping off point for temperatures to heat up again tomorrow and it limits the amount of recovery time we get overnight. we don't get to enjoy the longer cool hours overnight when the heat is so persistent day after day and the heat will be persistent. in fact, tomorrow, might be hotter than today. up to 103 degrees in san jose and los gatos. closer to 110 degrees in the east bay. 109 in livermore. 101 degrees in redwood city, that

will be close. it is the warmest day you will see and it will be in the middle 70s. above 80, around 90 in oakland, temperatures in the north bay getting up to or above 100 degrees on a widespread basis. now, as we head farther down-the-line the heat will back off slightly by the fourth of july and into the rest of the weekend. by a couple of degrees each day. that slow glide down leaves us to a high to very high heat risk. a little bit of a push of that yellow category. a bit farther away. fraction alley, early signs that some of that marine air will try to make its way inland. not having success over the course of the next several days. take a look at the 10 day outlook. you see the stepwise drop. the coolest day in the whole outlook, 97 degrees for a high temperature, full 10 degrees above average. we will have to deal with this for awhile even though it is not the record setting heat. it

will be dangerously hot. just lasting day after day after day. you see the coolest day, monday, tuesday, still in the middle 90s. that means most of us inland will be around 90 and 100. should be back to the upper 70s by tuesday and wednesday. cancel a couple days early in that part of it holds. one day in the 70s, then, back in the 60s, fog and low cover plan. temperatures in the lower half of the 60s for the second half of the weekend. the last day of the four-day fourth of july weekend. the fire danger will be sky high. we will watch the air quality as well. >> no doubt, thank you. still ahead, the south bay sports fans behind the ultimate tailgate. straight ahead this sports, the warriors moving on. making noise in free agency and added

over five innings. set himself up for his first victory, jules, of the season for his career. and soler understood what was asked. now, solo shot to left field for the giants on the scoreboard. and the very next batter, lamont, found some right. got all of this shot to tie the game up at 2. second longest homer of wade's career. and if we fast forward to the ninth inning, giants up 1. elliot ramos, continuing to be a bright spot in this lineup. and took a few seconds for him to figure out it was staying fair. they won it 5-3. best now back-to-back wins over the two top teams in the national league. meantime, oh, looks yummy. the a's fans, staying cool on a hot night at the
