to talk about what's going across the country right now because you can see if you take your eye down to. >> around texas. we've got some severe weather there. the yellow boxes are severe thunderstorm warnings and the red that you see just to the west of houston. that is a tornado warning. so there have been several cells that have been tornado warned storms today. so a bit of trouble there. and this is the time of year and that does start to get going. these are the temperatures across the country can see some warmth there. miami at 80 74 in atlanta, 96 in phoenix and 95 in las vegas. hello, summer temperatures right there on their way up. we obviously are that warm but bakersfield at 92 right now. 64 in los angeles has everything to do with the marine layer by the coast. that's keeping things nice and cool. as we zoom in here, you can see we're right in that space where it's just starting to rollback in, right? just starting to see things working their way towards coming towards us yet again. temperatures right now, though, pretty nice. san jose. 77 degrees. 71 in hayward. 57

at half moon bay certainly cool along that coastline. 66 in oakland, napa, 67 north baseman a little cool today, but nevada made it up to 70 degrees. no such luck with santa rosa sitting at 63. so here we are. and if you need proof of the marine layer is rolling back in. here we go right now. you can see it happening on the golden gate bridge that were relatively quiet as the same pattern of clouds in the morning fog in the morning. and then we start to get a little said in the afternoon and the marine layer moving back into a pretty calm weekend following that pattern next week. it looks like mid week we are going start to cool down a little bit but maybe think about a little climatology here. livermore we've had out of 15 days this month. 11 of them have been above average, including the last several. so that's where we're kind of standing right now. and as we head into next week, you can see that by the time we get to wednesday, we are actually going go down below average. we should be at least those mid even upper 70's. it's over inland spots. but a pretty nice weekend ahead. and then a little cool down as we get into next week.
