some fog from vollmer peak. that's where you will notice that you may have some of that fog draining into some of the valleys. we had that shot for you. there it is. you will notice the marine layer, it's kind of low this morning but it will continue to ramp up offshore and that will send in a pretty good breeze later on today. a couple areas of low pressure is influencing our weather for the next few days. 56 in oakland. good morning, santa rosa. wow, down to 43 degrees this morning. 46 in napa and we are looking at some fog in san rosa. so you saw that shot from vollmer peak. the marine layer, once again, fairly compressed, but we are looking at cooler air head our way today. so this morningner from a degree to 7 degrees cooler at the coast up to the north and we will be looking at san francisco.

a little breezier today even though we get that sunshine. so low clouds this morning. turning cooler the next day or two, then we will look for the warming trend as this area of low pressure heads to the east of us. we will get a wind shift and winds will become offshore. here's a look at our californiaen infrared imagery. you will notice that we have one area of low pressure that sticks out in the gulf of ackley. there's another one that will form here off of the oregon coast. you come bean those two and that's what will allow for breezier winds today and the cooling trend across the bay. high pressure still around much of california, and with that a little bit of moisture headed into parts of the state from southern california into the mountains. so once again, the risk of isolated thunder from the northern to southern sierra. we are also getting some dry and gusty winds later on this afternoon. so to add a little bit of insult to injury you have to deal with the red flag warning for

critical fire weather here with winds gusting over 30 miles an hour through the evening hours. and the relative humidity, look at that, below 10%. so extremely dry there. and back home along the beaches, we have another hazard to pass on to you, this beach around the central coast, strong rip currents. monterey state beach and marina state beach. keep that in mind if you are doing any beach combing. otherwise 60s across the bar in oakland today with 63 in richmond. anywhere from two to four degrees of cooling around the bay. inland may be a little cooler than that with 78 in concord today. 9 in livermore. san jose -- 9 in livermore. mid-70s around the santa clara valley. fog in monterey. later on today it will be a little breezy around the bay and then tomorrow not much change. we will look for a bigger warmup come wednesday and then into the work week and weekend.

nice looking end of the week if you want it a little warmer. >> and compared to other places, new york with the tornadoes, the midwest with the rain, i mean works he can't complain. >> no. >> thank you, lisa. >> 7 on your side's michael finney has heard just about every complaint possible about gift cards but here's one he hasn't even heard before. the case of the mystery gift card. >> she said we are no longer century theater. >> no longer a century theater? look at the sign out front next to the street. look at the sign on the building. >> sure looks like a century theater. >> that's what he said. said century 21 on the outside

and ticket stub said century 21 and she still refused to take it. she said he we are no longer century theaters. look at the ticket window. on the wall there's another sign and it says winchester 21, 22 or 23. so i go to the theater next door and there he find this sign. cinimart gift cards are no longer accepted at winchester theaters 21, 22 and 23. so a manager for more information. >> i'm michael finney from channel 7 news. >> i'm toll this guy is a manager, but he says only the assistant. he refers me to the manager, who has the day off. so i call the manager this morning and he refers me to the marketing vp, where i leave a message and haven't yet heard back. i spoke with a cinimart person who said the theaters are indeed

separately owned and not a part of cinimart. doug didn't expect anything from the theaters, he just wanted consumers to know. >> if you've got these gift cards, even though it says century 21 on the theaters, you can use these gift cards here. just kind of a heads-up for the public. >> that was a nice thing for to you do. >> thank you. i think there's a lot of incidences in the past where people have bought gift cards and been unable to use them and they are really easy to lose out of your wallet so you want to use them before you lose them. >> he's right. the gift cards work just fine and you don't have to go fine to use them. here's the sign for the century theater. across the street, santana road, and look back there, a cinimart theater. here's a closer look. it isn't an inconvenience as long as you know, and now you do. apparently the century theater is still on the signage because,

in part, these are now considered historic buildings. the cinimart people are contacting doug. they want to make sure he's taken care of and happy. when and and when i make contact with the winchester theaters, i will ask for increased signage so consumers who haven't seen this report will have a better heads-up. i'm michael finish nicks 7 on your side. >> coming up, some good, dirty fun. why thousands of people turned out this weekend to take on a wet, muddy obstac [ woman ] ring. ring.
