90s. then we will begin to see more fog come back to the coast. we aren't going to lose the fog totally. it will be comfortable, big sur 71. los angeles 68. but interior sections, sacramento, low 90s. back home we will see plenty of 80s today in the south bay. 82 in cupertino, and 76 in san mateo. mid-60s half moon bay. 69 downtown, 70 south city. in the north bay, mid-and upper 60s at the beaches. 85 sonoma, near east bay. and 76 in berkeley today. 92 brent ton wood. and monterey bay and 75 watsonville. here's the accuweather 7 day forecast. range today 60s to about 90 for father's day. five degrees warmer. summer begins tuesday morning and still warm on wednesday. looks like a trend here,cology off by next weekend. >> all right. thank, lisa.
