>> lisa keeps reminding me we have lots of days ahead with nice, sunny weather but not starting out with one today. >> no. we are talking about a much bigger storm on the east coast. of course, that's tropical storm isaac that will soon become a hurricane. we will talk about that in a moment. but as we head outside we are looking at the low clouds, the fog from mount tam. in fact, this is the way much of the bay area looks. the higher elevations really allowing for the breezy conditions. but then look down here from our roof camera. the winds out of the west, gusting to some 23 miles an hour for our friends over in oakland. we will look for some breezy winds in the hills all around the bay today. 6:35 is the official sunrise. and 7:47 is when it sets.

live doppler 7 hd. low clouds and fog. we will be hard-pressed to clear the coast today. because of that, we will look for another cool afternoon. yesterday we did manage a few 80 eats, but today it looks like more uniform temperatures. here tropical storm isaac and we are looking at winds of 60 miles an hour. it hasn't gained much strength yet but once it gets into the warmer waters north of cuba, it will. it is move from the west-northwest at 20. with the track, grazing miami. they have had heavy rain. in the next 48 hours it should turn into a category 1 hurricane with winds of 74 miles an hour and even a cat 2. that will take it further to the west of tampa. still high storm surge, heavy rain, and then it will continue to dissipate and weaken into a tropical storm as it heads up toward alabama and mississippi on thursday night. temperatures here mid-to upper 50s with all of the fog. numbers are not bad to start out. but when are we going to warm up? you know when the fog pulls

back, that's when we go the breeze all around the bay. this morning pretty gusty winds out by the delta. up to 37 miles an hour. hayward a west wind at 14, with oakland coming in at 17. airport delays already of about 45 minutes. so it's one of those days where we will see the gray stick around through the noon hour. so low clouds and fog. the mist and the drizzle. continued cool today and then the slight warmup. it's headed our way tomorrow as the ridge of high pressure will build in from the south, favoring the warmup into our east bay valley. so the culprit is this system here that continues to hang to the north and west of us, allowing for below normal temperatures. in fact, we should see some low to mid-80s north and south end of the bay. but with that low we are also looking at gusty winds out of the southwest. this has allowed for some high fire danger, the potential anyway for northwest nevada and also northern california. so low relative humidity and we

are looking at five to ten percent there. so with temperatures cooling down, at least they are getting a break. in sacramento, 84 for a high there. 9 in los angeles and back home temperatures will range from the low to mid-60s from san francisco and oakland. low 70s to the north. and we are looking at a rather cool day all across the bay. in fact, you have to go way up to clear lake to see highs in the mid-80s, otherwise we are talking about upper 50s at the coast. centennial celebration continues in sunnyvale. low to mid-70s there. in sonoma, the indy race about 70. and we will look for the low clouds and fog to really make an early come back at at&t park. plan on 50s and some breezy winds there for this late afternoon game. there's a little warmup, but it's mainly inland come wednesday, thursday and friday. >> all right. we will take it. >> okay. >> thank you, lisa. coming up at 7:00, good morning

he had three 3-run homers, a record 9 rbi in a single game. tennessee up 15-5. thought they had it wrapped up. we go bottom of sixth. kempton brandis made it a one-run game and the coach's son, hance smith, ties it at 15. a solo shot. the comeback kids from petaluma. a ten-run rally. can you believe it? we had the extras. we go top of seven. brock myers hits it deep. it's offer the wall, two runs scored. tennessee responds with a nine-run seventh and they would win it 24-16. petaluma can't hang their heads. they never quit. what a series! all right. the giants were on a roll looking for a season-high six straight victories yesterday hosting the braves at at&t park. but atlanta had other ideas. dog days of august brings us the dog day at the park. the field of dreams is not a bathroom. bumgarner had it going to the third. gives up the three run shot. 23rd of the year, 3 - 0, braves. bumgarner matches his season high with four walks. giants trying to get back in it. the two-run double.

giants down one. but that's as close as the g-men got. read johnson with the rbi double in the ninth. braves win it, 7-3. giants lead over the dodgers two games in the national league west. a's and rays in tampa, doesn't get better than that. chris carter top of the first crushes this offering. the two-run shot. 3-0, a's. in the third, seth smith. fifth game back from the dl, he knocks off his twelfth of the year. and the ball here hits a kid in the leg. ouch! unlike me he's tough and he would shake it off. brandon mccarthy hit seven solid innings, allowing only two runs and striking out seven. a's take two out of three from the rays. 4-2, your final. well, the raiders new west coast offense has struggled this preseason and that's not unusual, but they busted out for 513 total yards last night against the lions. the black hole. and second quarter the quarterback, carson palmer, airs

down to the minute. the list of speakers gives the party a chance to highlight their up-and-coming stars like keynote speaker new jersey governor chris christie and florida senator marco rubio. but ultimately it's all about the candidate. >> mostly it's an opportunity to flesh out who the nominee is. >> at the top of that list, the candidate's wife, ann, who has a prime time speaking slot. >> the wife is a reflection on the husband. so her job is then to kind of tell those stories about what he's like at home, humanize him. >> a role ann romney is uniquely qualified to fill. >> you know, i've known mit a very long time. we've known each other since we were kids. we started dating in high school. we've been married 42 years. >> the romney-ryan ticket is hoping to get a boost in the polls after the convention, but with the democratic convention the next week, whatever bounce they get may be short-lived. abc news, washington.
