and we're looking at high and mid-level clouds to not only give us a feature. if you're traveling, you'll notice the cumulus clouds will be up over the mountains. here, stable air as you look at the marine layer from our east bay hills camera due to high pressure, it is weakening a little bit. 63 in gilroy, good morning, half moon bay, foggy for you at 55, 56 in the city. low 60s san jose, getting brighter there from our tower camera you can see the fog blowing by the camera here, kind of obscured view. but from time to time, we are looking at a partial city view. 59 in novato, 5 a, santa rosa, low 60s with sun for new concord and livermore. livermore airport yesterday was 102 degrees. today, hoping to bring the temperatures down about five degrees, exploratorium camera, pretty gray out there it's been foggy all along the coast.

and through our local waterways around the bridges, be careful if you're headed out. next hour we're getting into quicker clearing and inland over the weekend, we'll be cooler. tomorrow will be the coolest day, over the next several days, into the first week of august, minor ups and downs. a big dome of high pressure that's been with us for much of the summer bringing some of the subtropical moisture, continues today to bring the heat to most of california. for the bay area, it eases up a little bit. the reason being, an area of low pressure that's going to drop down to the south. further cooling by enhancing our onshore push. especially tomorrow. 102 in sacramento. we've had some misty skies in yosemite. chance of a thunderstorm with 101 there. and los angeles, plenty of cloud cover with the possibility of thunderstorms here in the mountains. maybe even up towards mount shasta as well. in our little corner of the world to enjoy the microclimates, the beautiful weather and a few high clouds

today. 82 in vallejo. 75 in oakland. 101 up in lake port. so pretty warm up to the north, partly cloudy in the city. 66. 54, half moon bay with 81 in palo alto. so if you are spending time in east bay today, for the a's game it will be about 70 degrees, at 1:00, getting breezy in the afternoon. a beautiful day. tomorrow on the peninsula, it's cooler, just low to mid 70s. the tour de peninsula, which creates some real traffic troubles. but the seven-day forecast shows today the warmest day of the week with mid 80s around the bay, upper 80s inland. we'll lose a lot of the heat inland. the trend continues on monday. by tuesday and wednesday, a little bit warmer. but we shouldn't get anything too out of control, although it's so dry. we're just kind of getting to our hottest time of the year now. so be careful. >> thank you, lisa. in sports this afternoon. jon lester makes his first start for the a's against the royals,

after being acquired in thursday's trade with the red sox. that sent yoenis cespedes to boston. first pitch at the coliseum, 1:05. the a's will be trying to rebound from last night's loss to kansas city. here's abc7 news sports director larry beale with highlights in this morning's sports. >> good morning, everybody, one game is admittedly a very small sample. but this was the concern over trading yoenis cespedes. one night after dealing away their slugger, the a's were shut out by kansas city. not even iron man could save the a's against the royals. gray went seven innings, brand brandon moss out in left field, nice play to rob michael stackis back-hand grab, that's spectacular. gray had won his last six decisions, made one mistake and ibanez, solo homer, only run of the entire night. 1-0, that would be the final. jeremy guthrie shut down the a's, who are now one game ahead of the angels in the west.

jon lester arrived in town coming from boston. lester will make his a's debut, he's ready to jump into the playoff race with the green and gold. >> i've got to see a few of these guys from the other side, pitching against us in the past. and done really well. obviously their numbers speak for themselves. hopefully i can fill my spot, do my job and get some innings and give these guys a chance to swing the bats and score some runs. >> giants fans enjoying city field. giants and mets, brian vogelsong had his best outing of the year. a nine-inning complete game. a two hitter struck out five. in the seventh, 4-0 giants, and the rookie, duffy called up, his first hit and rbi in his debut in the bigs, driving in hunter pence and dad recording every second of it. giants are two and a half back of the dodgers who lost. warriors steph curry and klay

thompson are trying out for team usa. scrimmage in las vegas. derek rose, missed last two years with knee injuries, he looked fantastic. klay thompson one-on-one with steph here. and oakland native damian lilla lillard. 3/4 court to beat the buzzer. george hustling back on defense in the fourth, will land awkwardly against the stanchen. we're not going to show the replay, because it's too gruesome. they decided to stop the scrimmage. george looking at serious surgery. probably will miss next season. bank of the west, quarterfinals, serena williams and anna evan very much williams would respond in the second set, forehand winner down the line. we go to the third and it's

serena who advances to the semifinals here. match point, she was feeling it. 2-6, 6-3, and 7-5. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend, everybody. i'm larry beale. next, saving injured or orphaned bobcats in santa clara county. the innovative technique rescuers are using so the cats can be released back into the wild

here's the winning numbers from last night's $87 million megamoips draw, 13, 29, 34, 37, 72 and the meganumber 6 and nobody picked all six. tuesday night's jackpot increases to $100 million. new this morning, a santa clara county facility has found a unique way to rehabilitate injured or orphaned bobcats, officials say the ongoing drought has put the animals closer to communities searching for food. volunteers have been rescuing

those wandering felines. when they do it they dress in a bobcat costume scented with bobcat urine as an anti-imprinting technique to minimize human contact with the animals, officials say they came up up with the costume idea so when the bobcats are released back into the wild, they don't associate food with humans and go up to the first person they see. the facility has rescued more than 40 bobcats over 20 years. sweet little ones and weatherwise. >> we've got this. we're going to spread the sun around, tons of things going on passing around the bay area today. the fremont festival, the art, fog and the city petaluma having a festival as well as the solano county fair. so 66 and partly cloudy in the city later on today. and also around the bay, 80s in the south bay, upper 90s for the inland and east bay.

cooler than yesterday. so the heat we've been experiencing in the valleys losing the grip with a few degrees cooler today and another five degrees of cooling tomorrow. the coolest day should be monday. >> it sounds like sweet relief. thank you, lisa. and thank you for joining us on the abc7 news saturday morning news. the news continues now, online, on twitter, facebook and on all of your mobile devices with our new abc7 news news app. abc7 news continues at 5:00 p.m. in the meantime. have a great day.
