let's go to leigh glaser. i'm noticing the fog is burning off sooner. >> leigh: a shift in the wind is scouring the fog and clouds out sooner. we had some sunshine and that translated to warmer temperatures. here's a look from our high definition camera. this time yesterday, shrouded with fogginess but this afternoon, lots of sunshine there managed to warm up five degrees in antioch from this time yesterday. 86. 76 in livermore. 80 in concord. 66 oakland. san seasons, 60. 70 in novato and # 5 right now in los gatos. so will go with coastal encloseds -- clouds overnight and then we will cool down head interesting wednesday and thursday. nice clearing today.

more sunshine. those northerly winds pushing everything just a little off the coast there. temperatures up as much as four or five degrees especially east bay locations. tonight, the fog that's out there, those westerly winds were rotated back in towards the coast and the bay and we will keep drizzle in the coastal forecast as well. half moon bay, 52 and antioch 57. real quickly, going to the sierra. north of lake tahoe, getting reports of isolated thunderstorms, even some lightning strikes. these will be dying down overnight, but the culprit has been an area of low pressure right here. this system just moved to the north of us and this is all responsible for those northerly winds just pushing the low clouds and fog off the coast. tomorrow we get into a little higher pressure right here and that means more sunshine for us. towers few degrees warmer, and tuesday, enjoy it because this next low here, this is going to

move in here by wednesday and thursday and that's going to mean cooler temperatures and increase in the low clouds and fog. so we will be chilly once again by mid-week. tomorrow morning clouds will be with us but they should burn off rapidly. even notice some upper 80s to low 90s inland. we will keep 50s at the coast. so here is a look at your highs for monday. 79, san jose. 82 campbell. half moon bay little sunshine tomorrow, 61 degrees there. mid-70s for the peninsula. palo alto, 76. 63 for san francisco. north bay warm up nicely with 80 for santa rosa. sonoma and novato, 78. oakland, 69 tomorrow. union city, warm to 73. inland locations, kind of where you should be this time of year. antioch, 90. 86 for concord. 85 dublin and 73 tomorrow with

afternoon sunshine. the seven-day forecast, mild temperatures inland the next several days, all warm up a few degrees. then that low will cool us back down. wednesday, thursday, and friday low 80s 70s around the bay and 50s at the coast. >> alan: on to shu and the giants had a golden opportunity today. >> mike: they did and did not take advantage. and also, controversy at the pga championship. and the niners playing the colts. ?#?#?#6á6áwhwhwkwkwkwkwkññy#y#y#

whistling straits. he has two-stroke penalty and out of the playoffs. now we go to 18. it's a three-hole aggregate. both birdied. bubba hits in the drink martin kylemer, your pga champion. what a day. warriors steph curry a finalist for the world team championship. coming up at 6:00 nascar, and we hear from dustin johnson and your pga
