upper 50s. 60s around the bay with the fog kind of playing peek-a-boo along the san mateo coast. we should get into some clearing but for the week ahead we have high pressure to the north and east and low pressure here. we are truly kind of in a holding pattern. but this will allow for low clouds and fog and that per sis extent westerly breeze to keep numbers below normal for the week ahead. 101 in fresno, but notice temperatures are down in los angeles after triple digit heat there. the high pressure begins to relax, so somecology there. 96 in vegas and 86 in reno. the winds slackening off there too so that's good news. 60s for the a's game. mid-60s to first pitch. and later on today at candlestick park, bring the layers. we will look for numbers in and around the 60-degree mark with breezy winds. 80 santa rosa. mill valley has the arts festival today, low 70s there.

if you took your family camping this summer, you may have noticed a lack of diversity at your campground. more than 90 percent of campers are white and african americans are less likely to go camping than any other race. one group is helping to close the racial divide of the great outdoors. danishly reports on a group that's trying to close the divide. it is where many childhood memories are made, a family camping trip. but look closely and you might realize there is something missing: african americans. rue mapp of oakland is trying to change that. she started "outdoor afro" three years ago hoping to reunite african americans with nature. "outdoor afro is a social media and in-person community that inspires and celebrates african american connections to nature," now, mapp has a national following. she created an online community for african americans to share their stories. "there are thousands and thousands of members across

various social media platforms. we get about 80,000 eyeballs to our facebook page and we have about 10,000 people engaging on our website," she says. despite those numbers, the national park service says just one percent of park visitors across the country is african american. mapp says that doesn't mean they aren't enjoying nature. outdoor afro organizes outings and camping trips like a recent one in coloma. the idea is to get more african americans out into nature. "yes, we do camp, most definitely," linda mcdonald of berkeley says. outdoor afro is also trying to diminish the stereotype that african americans just don't camp. "historically, black people have been a part of nature. from the time they were brought over from the continent, they've been a part of nature, cultivating the ground.". "the stereotype is true and then not true because my wife, she loves it. i don't love it, but i'll do it and i'm sure i will have a great

time at the end of it." many of the campers blame urbanization and segregation for disconnecting their community from the outdoors in the past. but today, they are trying to bridge that gap by reconnecting themselves and introducing a new generation to nature. i think that it's good to bond with people that look like me and to experience new things and my god, this is great. it's beautiful out here. to be able to have an organization like this, it allows more people to do it because sometimes it can be pricey and outside of peoples' means. outdoor afro isn't just for families or african americans for that matter. it's about creating a relationship with nature.

>> i think a lot of people of color are just not used to it, maybe from their childhood, they never really did a lot of outdoor activities. but i think it's great to connect with other people, to get out there, really connect back with mother nature, and i think that's really important not just for people of color, but for everyone. and we are blessed with such great weather to enjoy it. >> that's right. a little gray in some areas where it is cloudy and cool. but as you head outside you notice above the marine layer it is pretty nice. mount tam, you will see the marine layer still pretty shallow. it's about 1,000 feet, 1200 feet. from our roof camera we have a west wind at about ten to fifteen miles an hour. at the airport there are holes in the deck of low clouds and fog. so once again, it is not everywhere. so we will look for the rapid clearing in our east bay valleys. in fact, right now it is clear

there. over into hayward and castro valley, we will look for earlier sunshine while the fog holds on to parts of the peninsula and parts of the bay around richmond and oakland. but we do are some fog up into the valleys of the north bay. it's clear in napa and with that clear sky the temperature has bottomed out intoed mid-40s here. looking at 54 in oakland. cooler air up in the north bay. it's cool at our coast as well with 50 half moon bay. the low clouds and fog have made their way along the central coast from santa cruz to monterey. fog is around the bay and the wide range of temperatures again from the upper 50s at our coast. we are talking near 90 inland. but there is a trough offshore, and that's going to bring in the low cloud and fog deck. a slower clearing trend throughout the week ahead. here we are with this morning. look what happens by 9:00, 10:00. we are mostly sunny and the fog will still take another hour or two to clear the coast. then we will see some upper

50s to low 60s here. it will take some time around half moon bay and monterey. otherwise we see a return to the low 70s in oakland. still cool for this time of year. but the higher elevations, if you are headed around mt. diablo, still pretty warm there. we will look for the cooling trend to really take hold of our forecast throughout the rest of the work week ahead. it's because of this system here, it continues to hang back. but as it does, it will deepen. we've got high pressure to the north and east of us. so that puts us in a blocking pattern with very little change day-to-day. we will see that per sis extent onshore flow, the shallow marine layer, allowing the coast and bay to experience the breeze throughout the afternoon and and the inland areas to stay warm. still the numbers will trend downward and we will see numbers below normal throughout the work week. 90s for sacramento. 91 in los angeles. lots of cooling there from 7 to

10 degrees coolerred to compared to yesterday. the heat wave loosening well to the south of us, loosening its grip. 68 san mateo. burlingame arts festival today. mill valley has an arts festival. we are looking at the santa cruz county fair today. 76. a gray, cool start. by 1:00 today look for 64 in oakland. the wind picking up. maybe a couple degrees of cooling today around the bay. and the coast more significant cooling. two to four degrees cooling the middle of the work week. this is the last full week of summer. saturday the equinox in the morning where we enter into fall. >> so turning the clocks back can't be that far away? that's sometime in october, right? >> yeah, right around halloween. >> thank you, lisa. a good day to go to the movies, perhaps. opening in theaters this weekend, richard gere starring
