coming up here at least for a day or so, but i guess they have their plans. >> everybody wants to see them. the weather should be pretty nice down there. and here you've probably, of course felt our cool down all week long. it just gets more dramatic as the days go on, as well as the low clouds and fog, very dramatic as we are looking at the marine layer thickening from about 1,000 feet in the north bay to about 1800 feet in the south bay, and we do have delays. as much as 38 minutes on arriving flights at sfo. temperatures are in the 50s for the post part. redwood city 53. upper 50s mountain view. so we are looking at changes ahead. starting out with morning fog, cooler area-wide today. we saw those mid-90s around morgan hill yesterday, 94. and 95 in livermore. but today temperatures are coming down and they will continue to bottom out next

week. so here's what's going on. we are looking at a deep upper level trough to the north and west of us. this will continue to dig to the south. as it does, it enhances our low clouds our fog and the clouds will be slower to clear. we will have a healthier sea breeze. all that means is numbers will continue to take a hit. in fact, today we are looking at temperatures still in the triple digits from our interior. but that, too, will change in the days ahead. so some fog beginning to form along the shoreline. comfortable, though, big sur 72. 74 san diego. 103 vegas. as we head to tomorrow numbers about 2 to 3 degrees cooler here. mid-80s in yosemite. a mild afternoon in the northern sierra, 78 there. here's the way it looks around the bay. upper 70s to low 80s. that will be a couple degrees cooler for you. 78 sunyvale. we will have the spread from

about 70 to milbrae to 80 if you head further south. and 72 san mateo. 57 in pacifica. we will be looking at those numbers still stuck inst upper 50s, shoreline. that's the way it's been the last couple days. 63 and partly cloudy in san francisco today. you will warm to the upper 70s for sonoma and napa. 76 for va lay owe. cool berkeley, 66. 70 hayward. a pretty nice afternoon for fremont. 76. 10 degrees warmer in the inland valleys. but you are actually 10 degrees cooler than yesterday. you will enjoy 84 today in concord, as well as danville with the monterey bay a little slower to clear, 63 there. we will look for numbers in low to mid-80s around gilroy. the testimony spread in the forecast upper 50s. that's not going to change all throughout the weekend to the early week to mid-80sen land. but tuesday and wednesday the

numbers come down even further. we are talking numbers well below average by then. that's about 15 degrees below average. today around average. so it's been hard to keep track with our big swings. >> yeah. all right, lisa thanks. researchers at the academy of sciences in golden gate park are home after a historic visit to the philippines. abc7 was the only station with the bay area scientists as they discovered 300 species believed to be new to science. still as important is we focus on what they did not find. this is a cautionary tale you will see only on abc7. >> the philippines is made up of more than 7,000 islands, a spectacular wonderland, captured in this underwater video by an academy photographer. scientists spent more than a month off the island here searching for all kinds of life. divers focused on an area to have the world's richest corral reefs. now with a big exception. >> we only saw two sharks during 1,000 dives.

>> john is one of the world's top shark experts. he said 30 years ago things were very different here. >> every time i would be in the water i would be surrounded by sharks. there were sharks everywhere. i was kind of nervous at first but i got over it when i realized those sharks weren't dangerous sharks. >> john said the disappearance of sharks is what is really dangerous. he blames overfishing. >> the removal of top-level predators like sharks that are so critical to our ecology causes a downward collapse and cascade, a spiral where you have ecosystem collapse. >> one way they figure out which fish is left in the ocean is to see what's your sale in fish markets. this one is in manila. >> do you sell sharks? no sharks? >> no sharks, no. >> we didn't see any sharks in the fish market. not because they don't want to sell them, but the sharks are all gone. >> the academy team also spent a week on a research boat in the deep sea off the philippines.

>> we haven't seen a single shark at the surface. >> but from from the surface they did find more than a dozen small sharks 1500 to 3,000 feet deep. >> and shark living as deep as it does, it won't be killed. >> they are believed to be a new species of swell sharks with the ability to change body shape. sometimes sleek and streamlined, sometimes rolly poly like this one. >> that's nothing. when they are in their habitat and frightened by a larger predator, they will swallow enough water to look like a bowling ball with finishes on it. -- fences on it. treated like celebrities by the scientists, excited by discovery but worried about the worldwide decline. >> about a decade ago sharks started to disappear and disappear by as many as 73 million a year, primarily to have their finishes cutoff to be sold to the asian community for shark fin soup.

>> several are being brought back to san francisco for research. but most were returned gently to the water to spawn a new generation where researchers hope other sharks will get the same chance. >> life in the ocean depends on it. dan ashley reporting. the california assembly has passed a ban on the sale of shark fins. the senate is expected to consider the bill next month. don't go away, 7 on your side is next. >> the big screen tv starts turning on and off all by itself. i'm michael ahead for 7 on your side. how long will this last?

and off, on and off. >> eddie had to pull the plug to get it to stop. the next day the same things happened. >> i couldn't watch any of the programming because before the picture would even come on, it would turn off by itself. >> the tv was two and a half years old, long out of its one year warranty but he thought it was a little soon for a $2,000 tv set to die. so he contacted the manufacturer, lg electronics. he spoke with customer service agents over two weeks. he kept a log of the call where agents kept agreeing the whole thing must be frustrating. >> one of the executives said why did you not by the extended warranty? i don't think it should be breaking down after less than three years of owning it. >> he went on line and found other folks had the same problem with lgs, suddenly turning themselves off. >> it's frustrating. this is the unique nature of today's tvs. they are really computers with monitors attached to them.

>> that's a technology at c-net.com. >> he says today's des or a lot more complicated than tube tvs of the past. yet this kind of problem is relatively rare. >> when your tv dies after two years and goes into something like this, you are really more a victim of bad luck rather than technology. >> eddie wasn't happy with his luck so he turned to 7 on your side and we contacted lg. the company said it had agreed to pay for a new parts for eddie's tv, two circuit boards costing around 3 hundred dollars. eddie, however, had to cover the labor charges. lg said we have double checked with our experts and found that this is not a common problem. even though the tv set was out of warranty, lg covered the cost of the parts. >> the part they replaced solved the problem. i'm a little weary now turning off the tv. >> here's a tip from brian at c-net. to prolong the life after digital tv, use a power strip

that monitors the electrical flow. it's called a conditioner. tvs can be damaged not only from a power strike or surge but also a brownout that reduces the electrical fluff. i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. coming up next, many people have had those horrible bosses. don sanchez is on the isle to review a movie of the same name.
