>> good sunday morning. sun up for 12 minutes now, setting earlier and earlier so we lose the heat a little bit sooner. but that's little consolation, i know, when temperatures climb to about 105, 106 today. but check out this. look at your tv set for a moment. you'll see all of the fog here from our sutro tower camera, about 1,000 feet, burying the golden gate bridge. even temperatures today along the coast are going to warm up. so even despite the fog, we are still looking just unbelievably hot in concord. 103 today. how about 102 tomorrow. and then a weak area of low pressure will bring a little bit more fog, dropping the temperatures come tuesday and wednesday. but then they go right back up, and the flag here not blowing too much. we will have that typical sea breeze. but in terms of relief, not so much. in fact, it's going to be even warm in the city today for san francisco standards. so live doppler 7 showing you the fog right along the golden gate southward along san mateo

coast. and it takes you all the way down to the central coast, and southern california. so this is a northern california event where we have all of the heat. but, boy, still eyes are on texas where houston is just being buried with more rain. over 2 feet in some spots. rockport and victoria, particularly hard hit. this is a time lapse of the past three hours. the shading shows where the water is just piling up. we've got the gulf of mexico here. dew points at 80 degrees, and this system, which is at 45 miles per hour, the tropical storm is not moving. and it's going to stay here throughout the rest of the weekend, tomorrow, monday, tuesday, wednesday. this forecast model takes us into thursday, accumulated rainfall once again over 2 feet. and it continues to move to the east and north, slowly. so some forecast models said -- say before this is all done, they could get 60 inches in some parts from when this began to this upcoming friday. san francisco is at 59.
