>> we put our minds together at abc7 news to come up with ideas to you how to get into the u.s. open. one said wait for someone come out with a pass, get it from them and go in. one producer said climb a tree overnight and stay in that tree. or one said in a raft or something you can see some action from there. i'm not sure the raft is going to work but the climbing the tree sounds a little fun. >> yeah. way to go, shawn. all right. . heading outside now, there's a lot to talk about. we have something, pollutants close to the ground, spare the air. the view from mount tam and a pretty long, warm day out there. summer just a few days away. the sun was up at 5:47, an hour ago. we already have 70s, but it's cool at our coast. the live doppler shows us not only the rain but the low clouds. it's quiet this morning. not looking at any activity here but we will be looking closely at the temperatures, the wind,

the relative humidity. numbers mainly in the 50s except for half moon bay, 48 there and 75 antioch with 63 in livermore. we are 12 degrees warmer in the valley there. here's where we expect the warmest numbers at or above 100 degrees. but we are talking widespread 90s. nice day, though, at the beach. 2 1/2 mile visibility at half moon bay and 6 miles at the airport and novato. the haze is in the air and we are looking at not much wind burks what wind we do have coming from the wrong direction, allowing for critical fire weather in the north bay from lake county, sonoma county, napa, and marin. the higher elevations here, about 1,000 feet. look at the gusty winds the next couple hours. high fire danger. and also the diablo range with the extreme heat. cooling down quickly overnight. the fog staying out of the bay but he will feel the breeze. quite breezy this afternoon, as well. winds out of the northwest. the air quality hasn't been

great, and it's getting worse today obviously. so really try not to mow the lawn, barbecue. stay a look at this water vapor imagery. it really tells the story, aquist of low pressure in southern california. high pressure building into the north. with that we have the flow around the high, creating that offshore flow. you see the darker area here on our water vapor per imagery and that's the higher pressure allowing for the strongerdwinds and the upper elevations. the warm air today, that rapid warmup. but it is just a short-lived event. so we will look for the uncomfortable temperatures today around the bay, our inland valleys, but overnight tonight we cool off. father's day looking very comfortable. still above normal, though. and the sacramento, the san joaquin valley, once again, red flag warnings, high fire danger. 80s along the central coast and we are talking about a nice day at the u.s. open. 112th u.s. open with northwest

winds 5 to 15 miles an hour. temperatures from the mid-70 #* 70s in the cities to the mid-80s across the bay with plenty of upper 90 in the sonoma county. and the mid-and upper 90s into the santa rosa cleara valley. triple digits from livermore to watsonville 80. 82 saw lanai's, and 84 santa cruz. so if you are heading to the a's game, it will be warm and breezy out there. numbers in the 80s today. the coliseum will be warm but not as hot as places east of there with temperatures cooling back tomorrow. it should be a nice look day. more average weather for this time of year. summer begins on wednesday and still cooler toward the end of the week. >> down in los angeles today i know that's not what people are looking for, but what is it like down there? >> it should be in the 70s, no offshore flow there. >> that is good to know because it ties into our next story. a new theme park is underway in

>> this was the parking lot. we converted it into this beautiful home. kind of ironic, another home for cars. >> it's an example of pixar animators working with disney image ineers. >> what's impressive is the detail. it's what walt disney did with the original descendents any land and that's what we strive to do here. >> the buildings here are evocative of buildings that were in los angeles. >> there's a replica of the theatre where snow white opened in 1937. walt's dream, realized. the new attraction part of a five year, $1 billion makeover. disney's ceo tells me how important theme parks are in the country. >> because what have parks are are, these big, iconic places that people can actually become part or emerse themselves in. >> and disney california adventure, don sanchez, abc news.
