live doppler 7 hd shows that not only we don't have any rain burks we don't have any clouds around. not expecting any for the next several days. we will have a sea breeze and the on shore flow will continue to bring quite gusty winds throughout the afternoon today. so right now we are looking at 48 oakland. good morning, fremont. 49 for you. it's 50 in san carlos, half moon bay. 51 in the city and 50 in san jose. the winds right now not a factor except at half moon bay. northerly winds gusting to 23 miles an hour. we should have sustained winds throughout the afternoon, 20 to 25 miles an hour in some areas at our coast. but otherwise we will see the winds back off tomorrow. but tomorrow will be a warmer day. so warmer all throughout the bay, this weekend. and with that higher fire danger and the relative humidity right now at 52% in santa rosa. that will continue to decline. in fact, our east bay valleys looking at the relative

humidity, really, really drying out into the teens and perhaps below that by tomorrow. 80s should be widespread throughout much. our east bay today. and look for more 70s around san francisco, comfortable 60s at the coast. we will have the cooling here but you head on inland and take a look around the sacramento valley, the strait. and the winds gusting over 40 miles an hour. not only a wind advisory there but a red flag warning from is 111:00 this morning to 10:00 tonight for critical fire weather. see the relative humidity, 18 to 15%. so really be careful out there, that dryer air filtering into the east bay valleys with high pressure off our coast and a weak system pushing to the north of us later on today will allow for the surface high to continue to strengthen and with that those winds kick up. so the flow from the high to the low allowing for those gusty winds, and we will be looking at the winds eventually, the

overall gradient turning offshore. so that's going to bring the warmest day of the weekend tomorrow. but right along the coast we will have a very, very weak sea breeze but not enough really to head anywhere from about half a mile away from the coast and numbers will continue to climb at the coast tomorrow. today 65. 70 in the city. 77 oakland with 80 in san jose. livermore 83. 85 in gilroy with 66 in monterey. 79 in santa cruz, so today the numbers are up. tomorrow, coming up another five to seven degrees and a couple degrees warmer inland on monday. a sea breeze kicks in today and then again on monday for slightly cooler conditions at our coast. it really isn't until the middle of the week we really cool back. it's all above normal until next friday with the san mateo fair kicking off today. >> lisa, thanks very much. it's part car, part motor cycle and all electric. a local team of engineers is
