[laughter] >> kind of funny, too. you see the marine layer. it is very compressed. it has shrunk from 3,000 feet to

1,000 feet. that's why we are looking at the dense fog from the north bay around napa, santa rosa. quarter mile visibility all the way down to monterey. a few patches have made their way into concord and our live doppler 7 hd right now shows that we are looking at most it clinging to the shoreline. so with the clear start in san jose, you are a little milder, in the 50s. we will be looking at the earlier burn off. a warming and drying trend on the way today." 55 fremont as well as oakland. take a look at santa rosa. we've dropped significantly. the cooler air draining into the valley. it's 7 degrees cooler will. most areas starting out chillier, except for antioch, where we have the clear sky this morning. sunny and warmer for everyone, even if it's just a degree or two along the coast, you will see more sunshine. the sea breeze, northwest 10 to 20 miles an hour.

that won't be backing off and we will look for the warmest day this week to be the holiday, tomorrow, labor day. so we are looking at an area of low pressure that continues to weaken and move to the north and east of us. as it does we are looking at higher pressure building up from southern california and that's allowing for the wind shift and allowing for the on shore flow to slacken just a bit and a the bit of a down sloping wind. the warmer air in the upper levels of the atmosphere also aiding in our warmup today. so temperatures 10 degrees warmer in some spots today, especially around the bay. closer to the inland valleys. and then tomorrow maybe another two to three degrees of warming. so we are talking about a more summer like pattern with that 30-degree spread about from the coast to our inland valley. the inland breeze won't be reaching the sacramento valley so into the 90s there today. chico kind of warm at 91. you know it's warm when san diego it's 80. southern california warming up as well.

south of san francisco we will see more sunshine with upper 60s today for an afternoon high for for 42nd annual milbrae art and wine festival. up to the north in sausalito, pretty foggy and cloudy right now, but by about 9:00, 10:00, you are looking at mostly sunny conditions and a sea breeze and warming compared to yesterday. 72 in oakland today. nice afternoon if you are headed north. santa rosa. these numbers just about where they should be this time of year. 86 in livermore with concord coming in at 85 today and about four or five degrees warming for morgan hill to hollister. the accuweather seven-day forecast, warmest day tomorrow with some additional warming and maybe a few degrees warming with a few patches of fog on tuesday. and then we will keep the numbers pretty nice right on through the weekend. >> summer letting us know it's still in charge. >> yeah. i like that. >> all right. thank you. >> we are joined any from

45 there. 48 on the coast and everywhere around the bay, most everywhere is colder this morning. but that's not going to last. in fact, even a couple degrees warming at our coast today as the fog lifts sooner today, so we will see more sunshine and a warming and drying forecast, not only today but for the rest of the holiday. labor day will be the warmest day of the week. today starting out with just some patchy dense fog and that's what happens when the marine layer shrinks from about 3,000 feet to about 1,000 feet. it's shallow but it's more dense. with this area of low pressure losing it's influence across the bay, we will see these bases shrink to about 500 feet. maybe just at the water level, if you are crossing the golden gate bridge, you will see a little bit of fog. otherwise we are talking 2 do 4 degrees warming at our coast and as much as 10 degrees warming in the inland valleys. a nice afternoon if you like it on the warm side but really this is where we should be this time of year. notice the numbers coming up into the 90s from yosemite to

sacramento and that's because the delta breeze will be shut off. more of a localized sea breeze with a northwest wind this afternoon. temperatures up in the 60s once again for the mill bay art and wine festival. it looks good there. and on the other side of the city we are talking again mid-60s with temperatures a degree or two warmer but with the sea breeze you might start out with a slight jacket and then things will get more comfortable around the bay. take a look. more 70s to upper 70s as you head toward fremont today. 72 oakland." average highs should be about 70 in the city. we were only 63 yesterday. we are warmer today. maybe not as warm as you would like it, but still coming up in half moon bay we are looking at patchy fog but partial afternoon clearing there. upper 60s for cloverdale and antioch. and livermore, you were in the 70s but 80s today. improvement. 66 in monterey. here's the look ahead.

you will notice even more warmth tomorrow and then a few degrees cooling as we get back to work on tuesday. notice the dip in the middle of the week, not too dramatic. so still pretty nice and lots of summer left. >> yeah. and not unexpected to have a great weather weekend in september. but it comes in handy for sausalito, the milbrae festivals and the greek orthodox church down in belmont. >> and petaluma little league parade today. >> and the a's are playing and you are coming through and it's a big factor. >> i try. >> congratulations on winning the weather shot contest. >> yeah. that was easy, though. better luck next time. >> thanks a lot. >> here's don sanchez with on
