1:53 am
mentioned in santa rosa. you might take a slight step back in the 90s tomorrow, 94 in oakland. breaking the record, 78 degrees in san francisco. the temperatures inland in the east bay, 107. 95 in redwood city. along the coast in half moon bay. up to 101 degrees in san jose. those temperatures are way, way above average for this time of the year. 20 degrees above normal. about 15-18 degrees above normal. again, the tiny step back but it is still leaving us with crazy hot weather as we head into the holiday weekend. right now, let's take a look. there is the beam of light. covering it up with current temperatures that are backing down a little faster than they did 24 hours ago. still warm inland. upper 70s in concord, lower 80s. it is cooling off santa rosa,

1:55 am
will be close. in a few locations, tomorrow's forecast highs, record territory, it looks like we will be in 4-5 degrees of it in oakland. not likely we will set records tomorrow. more likely on friday. just because the records are a little lower. 84 degrees, high temperature in oakland, tying the record, one of the lowest records in the month of july. 6 degrees in redwood city and san jose. within 6 degrees of santa rosa and 5 degrees of livermore. let's take a look at the seven-day forecast. our temperatures are going to be, well, just hot. coolest days inland in the forecast. in the middle 90s on a widespread basis on tuesday and wednesday. the heat backs down it does not go away. it is still going to be hot once we back away from crazy hot conditions. the temperatures around the bay are going to get back closer to normal once the onshore breeze has a chance to do its thing. lower to middle 70s that will
