half moon bay, 52 degrees. we're on our way to more 60s today. temperatures for a time being in the upper 20s in napa. that is why you are looking at that 20-degree cool down from yesterday. for most of you, a clear and cold start this morning. sunny and mild this afternoon. tomorrow night, it will shift things around in terms of the wind. high pressure in control to the east of us, offshore wind blowing the fog off the coast and upper level winds cleaning out the atmosphere. so we have a good air quality. then by tomorrow we'll look for subtle changes. not enough to really break down this ridge. it's going flatten it. today mild conditions down to southern california. 78 there. 74 in san diego. very windy in southern california with santa ana winds cranking up.

this area of high pressure will bring the onshore flow back tomorrow. it means a few extra clouds in the afternoon. high clouds to mid-level clouds. by 4:00 in the afternoon, look at the north bay, you've got mostly cloudy skies. clouds continue to advance to the south to the east with a weak cold front that will bring rain in mendocino and perhaps sonoma county. into the wee hours of monday morning. it may wet the pavement. some mist and drizzle for your monday morning commute. we're back to high pressure and mild conditions for the rest of not only monday but the rest of the week. 66 in oakland. 67 for san jose, upper 60s, could see a 70 in the north bay around santa rosa. depends how much wind we've got. 70s in santa cruz. seven-day forecast calls for more mild temperatures with numbers as much as ten degrees above normal. couple degrees cooler tomorrow.

years. volunteers who want to start dog handling can expect to spend $2,000 per year for the prospective volunteer, that amount of money can be the difference between having a roof over your head or not. that is why it's easy to find people who want to volunteer but finding people that can is another story. >> economic timers being what they are it's even more of the challenge because of the costs and so forth. the fact they don't have the free time they have available from their jobs and home life to be able to commit. >> reporter: there are no hard numbers on people who want to become at the search and rescuers but can't because of the economy. if financing is shrinking the pool of expected volunteers they aren't having any effect on the caseload. eric thomas, "abc 7 news." >> don't go away.
