allows the low clouds and fog to really push through the bay this morning. some response to that, the stronger sea breezes and a series of lows continue to be stacked up. once this system moves on through in the next 24 hours, then we get a ridge where this is going to bring our temporary warm spell for tomorrow, monday and tuesday. minor, 2 to 5 degrees. behind it another cooler system. so if you can follow all that, the overall trend will be for a bump in temperatures for the second half of your weekend. 73 sunnyvale with 74 milpitas and santa clara. numbers here in the low 70s by the afternoon. so basically you're looking at that wide range once again upper 50s in pacifica, san francisco. no real changes. low clouds and mist and drizzle, afternoon sun. and the breeze around the water for san rafael, sausalito, mid-60s there. you have to head up towards calistoga and ukiah to get up

the dogs lunged at the screen, and the owner said she didn't speak any english. >> most people believe their dogs won't bite. unfortunately we have a number of people here that can attest that isn't a true statement. >> dog owners agree admitting that i recall dog isn't perfect, isn't easy. >> we try to keep him under control but i still think he needs a little training. >> if a dog is out of control, an owner can be cited and sued. lisa amin gulezian, abc 7 news. >> officials from the monterey bay aquarium say a great white shark captured on video by a southern california surfer is possibly one tagged and released by researchers. this is video posted on youtube.com. santa cruz sentinel reports a yellow-green object on the dorsal fin is likely popped

top of the morning, everyone. 6:38 now. live look at the golden gate bridge. a little traffic moving along. not too much now but you can see the fog. it's not so thick that the towers aren't there but it's definitely present making it a little chilly at the coast. a little different picture coming up. that's why lisa amin gulezian is here to let you know what to expect. >> you don't have to be a meteorologist to see that. part of the trend will continue. but we have minor ups and downs. that's why i'm here to tell you about it from our high definition emeryville camera. the fog, mist and drizzle. but we have a system that's on the way out this weekend. that will provide a minor bump up in temperatures for your sunday. and that's gonna last into monday and part of tuesday depending where you live. this morning numbers are cool, in the 50s. we have the mist and drizzle if you're headed over the golden gate bridge. also from the east bay it's a

little damp out there along the peninsula. 54 half moon bay. oakland 57. low 50s santa rosa and napa. we have a few more mild numbers down around san jose. cloudy skies there at 60. our highlights then, a little cooler today. did you notice it was a little warmer yesterday. we will look for that warmth to return to our inland valleys which means some more 80s for tomorrow and monday. may hit 90 in some spots and earlier clearing around the bay for sunday, monday and a portion of tuesday. temperatures though coming down after that with another pesky low headed our way. the low clouds, the fog. very prevalent this morning out in the delta, the valley. you know it's cooler if they've made their way all the way into our delta region. with that the 80s confined to the sacramento valley. more widespread 70s for our east bay communities. also into santa clara and into the north bay as well. so it's mainly the 60s around

the bay. but the fog will retreat a little bit sooner in the next couple of days. we've got high pressure to the south of us but more importantly it's low pressure which is moving overhead and that is providing the stronger marine push and the low clouds, the fog, the wind and in response to that, that's why we're gonna see our cooldown today. but as this moves through in the next 24 hours, the ridge of high pressure builds behind it. that's going to be our warmer spot of air for sunday, monday and even tuesday in our valleys and then this next system and the one behind it providing the cooler weather come wednesday and thursday. so we're back to what we've been used to with some mid-70s from milpitas and santa clara. even sunnyvale. it's 73. you have to get towards los gatos, the hills, saratoga for the upper 70s. the mist and drizzle with you this morning in san mateo and millbrae. upper 60s for you. low clouds and fog hanging tough in the richmond district, the

sunset district. 43-minute delays on arriving flights sat sfo. upper 60s there. low 60s downtown with afternoon sun. 72 petaluma, 75 sonoma. to the north, that's where you feel some mid-80s for cloverdale and clear lake. a breeze in berkley at 64. 69 in union city and 70s even extend to walnut creek at pleasanton and danville at 78 to low 80s for pittsburgh. definitely a cooler day for you. down by the monterey bay, we are cloudy, even mist and drizzle for you with 63 for your afternoon high. the accu-weather seven-day forecast, the fog clearing tomorrow. just a little bit sooner. less of a strong onshore flow. that's why the numbers come up sunday, monday, tuesday. tuesday our inland valleys and cooler after that. so it's a little bump that we haven't seen in a while. >> all right, lisa, thank you. the girl scouts of northern

california are facing some tough choices. a record number of girls are attending jam p this summer but scouts are struggling to find the money to keep the camps running. assignment 7 reports, dan ashley reports why bay area girl scout properties may go up for sale. >> camping has been part of the girl scouts throughout almost all of its 100 year history. there's no question camp activities have evolved over the years. but the basic idea remains. >> a lot of people think that it's just guys who go to do all like the outdoorsy stuff. but i think it's important that girls do it, too. >> this is a girl scout camp in the hills of santa clara county, 280 acres of outdoor adventure. campers learn to ride. >> i have a horse. her name's fannie and she's really nice. >> shoot bows and arrows. >> fire at will! >> we have a bull's-eye! >> and overcome challenges. >> gotta warnafter.
