blocked off for marathon runners? carolyn and i were just talking about how impressed we are with these folks up so early in the morning and running from the ferry building out to the golden gate bridge and back. you notice traffic is actually flowing well. but quite a few folks. >> and great weather for them, too. >> temperatures right now in the 50s. this is good weather for folks running 26.2 miles. we will check out live doppler 7 hd, although i wanted to stay on that shot longer just because it was so cool. it's pretty quiet around the bay area. just low clouds we are dealing with right now, widespread low clouds around the bay area. so we are starting off in the 50s. it's currently 53 in san francisco for those runners right now. and look for 58 in san jose and 53 in redwood city. also around monterey bay right near 55 for most everybody. so very similar to yesterday.

low clouds. we've got the fog, we have the drizzle mainly along the coast. a lot of sunshine once again and even slightly warmer temperatures in some locations and then with high pressure building, hot temperatures inland midweek, we are talking mid-90s in some areas. so here's why we have this area of high pressure. this is going to continue to move west. then we have this area of low pressure. and with the air circulating counter clockwise that's going to continue to bring us this on shore flow. so temperatures along the coast will still stay cool, but with high pressure building, that's why we are going to see temperatures getting into the mid-90s so very hot inland right in the middle of the work week, wednesday and thursday it looks at this point. so here's the forecast model. we see the low clouds all around the bay area around 7:00. the areas of green show drizzle right along the coast. by lunchtime mainly clear with the exception of the peninsula coast where the clouds will just kind of stick around all day.

even the afternoon they never fully clear. half moon bay. and then this evening the clouds will move in once again with more drizzle overnight. but it doesn't look like the marine layer will be as thick as it was this morning. so we could see even warmer temperatures tomorrow. look for a high of 66 in san francisco. if you are heading to the giants game. 72 in oakland. 86 in concord and 82 in napa, 80 in san jose. also around the monterey bay, 73 in santa cruz. and gilroy at 85 degrees. last day of the gilroy garlic festival. it starts off at 67 degrees with cloud cover. then it warms up by almost ten degrees. by lunchtime pretty hot, 85. then a little bit more moderate by 7:00 this evening, 75 degrees. still pretty warm t-shirt and shorts weather. so 90s, mid-90s wednesday and thursday. so some really hot weather.

even 60s around the bay. then the coast stays in the 60s even though it gets bumped up to 66 degrees. a lot of sunshine throughout the whole week for all of us. >> sounds good. i was checking on the marathon. they even have what they call a munchkin's race for the kids to be involved. >> they can't possibly run the whole stretch. >> who knows. stay with abc7 news for all the latest olympic results for team usa and the teams from your other favorite countries. here is how we are going to keep you informed. on air we will announce a spoiler alert so if you don't want to know, you will have plenty of time to turn away and save the surprise. now on our local social platforms we are going to be posting results. but you will have to click a link to see them so you are not going to accidentally find out the results. you can find us at facebook.com/abc7news and follow us on twitter@ abc7newsbayarea.
