>> little sunshine for most of us, especially inland. sea breeze out there, the winds gusting to 33 in fairfield, but they won't be as fast as they were yesterday, nor will they be in as many neighborhoods, so that's why we're going to warm up more and see sunshine quicker. 12-hour day planner, cooler than yesterday morning. staying in the upper 50s at the coast. in the middle there you can see the bay 69 at noon to 74, back to 69 by 7:00. 74, 80, and 72 for our inland neighborhoods from noon to 4:00 to 7:00. it is going to get warmer, some 90s coming up in the seven-day forecast. how about the commute? >> nothing too crazy yet this morning. very light volumes through the south bay so far this morning. no blocking incidents to talk about. just starting to see our typical slow spots filling in. down to about 22 miles an hour and we do have a high wind advisory for altimont pass. i checked with mike, he said the

5:03 am
yesterday president trump huddled with more than 40 senate republicans at the white house. he was unable to sway at least nine who say they oppose the plan in its current form. republicans will now work on a new version and try again after the fourth of july recess. this morning on "good morning america," john carl said this is exposed the limits of the president's influence over the republican senators. >> there are limits to what he can do. the bottom line is, this president does not have deep relationships with republican senators. he doesn't have much influence with them. in fact, the senator that he is perhaps closest to of all of them is rand paul, who you remember he ridiculed during the primaries and who right now looks like the republican most steadfastly opposed to this bill. >> and you can watch the rest of john carl's analysis on "good morning america," which starts at 7:00 here on abc 7. happening today, fireworks stands are opening up in some bay area cities with the fourth of july only a few days away,
