unfortunately that's by the end of the week. it's spring break for some, easter for others by the weekend, and that's when things could get interesting. but we are looking at warming temperatures. it was down into the mid-30s, close to freezing by the delta earlier. look at the low cloudiness that has appeared from mt. tam. and it is pretty low. anywhere from 500 to 6000 feet. numbers are mild. 45 in santa rosa with 51 fairfield. big time warming since your mid-30s this morning. 51 in los gatos, with 52 along the east bay. here's a look how blue the sky is in san francisco. so that's why we are at a mild 50 degrees with already things getting underway, shaping up to be a nice afternoon. 50 at the san carlos airport with upper 40s in san jose. half moon bay has warmed up significantly, as well. still with some visibility issues there. 43 in santa cruz. so enjoy today. we've had sort of deja vu over and over with the sunny skies,

the mild temperatures. but we are looking at changes coming our way. in fact, the changes come as soon as later on today when the sea breeze kicks up. that will bring more in the way of stratus. right now you can see three mile visibility at half moon bay. everyone else doing just fine. you may have noticed how cool it was this morning in parts of the bay. 24 hours ago we were warmer than we are right now. we are experiencing that cooling from half moon bay, the airport down through mountain view and the livermore valley a little cooler this morning. the setup, we still have that ridge and that's pumping that warmer air over the bay. see the jet stream. but this is beginning to change. we have a system out to the west that will be knocking into this ridge and another system dropping down from the north. that allows for the changes to take shape early in the week. today a few passing high clouds, a nice afternoon and then we will get that sea breeze and the cloudier skies and the cooler conditions for the first couple days of the work week. so that begins with tomorrow with mr. clouds. it will thin out in the

afternoon. but by tuesday still clouds and you will notice a few areas of green on the screen. so maybe a few scattered light showers into your wednesday. this is all very, very weak. it's the system that we are looking at towards the end of the work week that could promise maybe a half-inch of rain? we will have to wait and see. upper 60s today should do it around san jose. very similar to yesterday. still cool at our coast. but not bad. upper 50s to around 60 half moon bay, 62 in san francisco with numbers warming right around 670 degrees in napa today. also some lower 70 in antioch and livermore. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. still kind of nice tomorrow in our inland east bay, even with a few more clouds around. it's really tuesday and wednesday we could see sprinkles, light rain with numbers in the 60s. the on shore flow transporting the cooler air. then by friday and saturday, this is a cut off low. so those are no toreious for having a mind of their own. that's why it's kind of iffy but

it looks like it could happen at this point anyway. another great resource to get weather is at abc7 news or live doppler 7hd or on twitter and that will bring you the latest weather conditions rain or shine. there you get video forecasts, spare the air alerts, power outage information and weather tweets from your favorite weather team. you know, not everybody wants rain on the weekend, especially easter, but -- >> long-term. we have to think long-term. >> right. >> thanks, lisa. coming up next, a mystery on the bay area coastline. why more and moral faint seal pups are needing treatment at

change. breeze picks up first and then the clouds, an opportunity of rain and several of them in the week ahead. we will be looking at perhaps the end of the work week the wettest. but we will have to wait and see with that. here's a look at the coastal clouds from mt. tam. they have been with us throughout the morning hours, reducing visibility. despite that the numbers have been warming around the bay, 51 in fairfield where you are mostly sunny. 52 hayward, 45 santa rosa. we are down into the 30s in some of the sports of the north and east bay. it was chilly and also chilly he coast of the right now in los gatos, 51 degrees, plenty of sunshine in fran and those clouds will clear so we will be looking at more sunshine from santa cruz where we should see the low 70s today. 43 now. 49 half moon bay and san jose with 50 in san carlos and san francisco with 48 in oakland where the marathon is still taking place. over in the east bay coastal cleanup going on and the marathon with temperatures climbing through the 60s throughout the afternoon.

early part of the work week and starting out with the low clouds, the stratus tomorrow. then it thins out, partly cloudy skies. tuesday more low clouds and some higher clouds with a little bit of precip maybe dropping around the bay, but overall it looks like these systems will pretty much miss us. 72 in morgan hill today. san mateo, san francisco once again low 60s. here are the 70s from napa, santa rosa, 67 in san leandro, hayward 66. low 70s in our inland east bay. so a little cooling tomorrow. partly cloudy, chance of showers into tuesday. wednesday look at the highs coming down and then by the end of the week it looks like rain. we are hoping this holds together. if it does, it could be the most significant rain we've seen in a while. >> that's good. it's all good news because we need it. >> yeah. >> in sports this afternoon, the
