today. >> big time in the upper elevationings and the buoys offshore, nearly 50 miles an hour at point rays, and 30 mile-an-hour winds in the upper elevations of the east bay hills. son that nice? >> yeah. >> from mount sue draw this morning you see the marine layer and that is bringing in not only the cooler air mass, but some gusty winds. we were 81 yesterday, a record at south lake tahoe. back home you see the winds here. at the airport we have delays. san francisco, a few peaks of sun. also oakland looking at a little bit of sun but overall the marine layer is intact and we are looking at 1500 to 2,000 feet this morning. some morning sun, then sunny skies for everyone this afternoon. 52 downtown. good morning, mountain view, 57 for you. 55 san carlos, san jose and fremont with still some 60s
6:49 am
off toward antioch. the winds are blowing all the way through the delta, and that shirley is the sign of the cooler air making its way all across into the east bay. south wind gusting to 22 at concord. so yesterday you saw it was mid-90s and today will be in the upper 60s, so still quite warm east of the bay, but south of the bay about four to five degrees cooling for our friends in the santa clara valley, and west wind right now at 21 miles an hour oakland. so you can take a look at the fog picture this morning. and then by 9:00 it continues to peel back out of the east bay. we will look for high pressure still in control, and with that that high pressure is down on the fog and that's why we are going to look at the marine layer compressed and pulling back all together. fog along the coast and bay this morning. the cooling trend, yes, for the weekend. and the numbers should stay fairly similar today and tomorrow but a little more cooling east bay valleys
6:50 am
tomorrow and then a bigger cool down for everyone on monday. windy conditions. yep, a chance of showers. looks like our north bay communities could see that. one more look here at the fog, as it will begin to allow for the temperatures to warm us up and that june sun to allow for more 80s here for concord, livermore and just about 80 around san jose. but 70s should do it for much of southern marin. head further north into santa rosa, cloverdale, and we will see some 80s. numbers right around normal in the city nor today. we will look for that trough of low pressure to continue to stay to the north and west of us, as we still have a dominant ridge of high pressure over much of california today. but today is that transition day as it slides to the east. that's because of this energy pressing south. but by monday, that's when we get the much cooler air. it's still a nice afternoon at the ballpark today. starting out with sunny skies,
6:51 am
numbers in the 60s this afternoon, dropping through the 60s, getting breezy toward the evening hours. and the numbers will be in the upper 50s. so the uss potomac in redwood city today, the art and wine festival in walnut creek, and we are looking at the union street fair today in the city. 72 watsonville, and the cool downs today, tomorrow, but more significantly with the wind monday, tuesday, maybe some showers. and we were talking about how we remember last june this year that downpour, it was graduation from my daughter's high school and they were having a ton of it. >> good timing. >> but not today. just spotty, light showers. >> thanks a lot. good news for oprah winfrey as fans. her book club is back. she made the announcement yesterday. she said book club 2.0 is going to be an online book club for the digital world. her first pick entitled "wild"
