east of the bay area. in the 60s in the central valley. those numbers look like april. yosemite, 50 degrees. pinpoint forecast, 55 degrees in santa rosa and 35 degrees at concord. that's par for the course, but the daytime highs unusually warm. 10 degrees above average. in the east bay with san jose above average. lovermore at 65. and the extended forecast, as far as i can say, partly cloudy skies. toward the weekend, 70 degrees by friday. this is nuts. and as we get towards sunday and monday, more sunshine and temperatures in the 60s. there's not any sign of changing. >> go to new york if it's like this. >> right. something festive. >> you'll find out what winter is like. >> thanks, brian. >> we'll be right back. ,,,, female announcer: sleep train thanks
