5:20 am

5:21 am
but by about 10:00 it will be sunny and into the mid-70s. you head up north of the golden gate, sausalito, and just about the same weather with temperatures in the mid-70s by the middle of the afternoon. plenty of sunshine. the breeze kicks up by the afternoon, as well, here. we will look for numbers today just about the same as they were yesterday with mid-80s in san jose. low 90s return for morgan hill and gilroy. yesterday was 84 in santa cruz. today upper 70s. on the peninsula, mid-70s for san mateo with low 60s palo alto. mid-80s redwood city. upper 60s, perhaps a few 70s by ocean beach. san francisco low 70s. a bit breezy in the afternoon and in the north bay numbers climbing through the 80s into the low 90 he is's. this is where you felt the heat yesterday. 91 napa. throughout the afternoon, still the 70s but upper 70s for san leandro. union city checks in about 79.

5:23 am
to save money and water. >> the first money waister in the laundry room, using too much detergent. detergents are super concentrationed now. when you use too much, you are not just wasting detergent, it can tryinger your washer to do an extra rinse cycle. >> it takes longer to do laundry and it waists water. if you mark your cap yourself, you use exactly the amount you need. >> consumer reports found as much of 90% of energy spent on a wash load is for heating the water. instead choose the cold water cycle. your clothes will come clean and you probably won't see a difference. wash only full loads of laundry. it saves wear and tear on your machine. if you must wash a small load, adjust the load size. and whatever the sides of your load, use the highest spin setting your fabrics allow. >> this reduces the a moisture
5:24 am
in your clothes, then your dryer will have less work to do and save you energy. >> don't dry your clothes using the timed dry setting. chews the auto dry setting on medium and let your drier's moisture sensor decide when the load is dry. fabric softener seats can gum up the sensor making it run longer, so wipe it monthly with rubbing alcohol. lastly, you won't get the cleanest clothes if you stuff everything in at once. it's more efficient to wash similar items together like just jeans or just t-shirts so everything will dry evenly. i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. next, going out of business. why sears is shutting down today and what developers want to do with the landmark bulling in oakland.
