a washout or widespread rain but it's scattered sprinkles, too, and an outside chance of a thunderstorm. you can see south of the dunbarton returns there's radar showing up of what's left of lydia continues to rotate towards us. the next chance continues to move northwest. you can see the high resolution computer models there. there's yellows and orange and the air is really dry, below 10,000 feet so anything heavy is not going to happy. i'd be surprised if we get anything measurable above .01 of an inch or .02. what we'll talk about later is the heat breaking, and the air is unhealthy everywhere in the bay area so we could use the rain. i don't think it's what we need and i can tell you when we come back. >> thank you, mike. new this morning, firefighters in pleasant hill say hot

no matter which weather window you've open it's dirty

for all of us, not most susceptible and the air is unhealthy for all of us. it's dirty. if you can hear the raspiness in my voice because i'm the dumb one who drove to work with the sun roof open instead of the air conditioner. don't be like mike. we'll barely get into the 100s. still will stay in the mid-60s to 70s and we'll see the temperatures slowly cole back to average. look at walnut creek. hard to get to 91 when you can't see the sunshine through the smoke. that's out there. temperatures drop from the 80s, 80s to 100s to the 70s and 82 as and barely 90s today. we'll start to see a little bit of a clearing due to the sea breeze and the area you see in yellow in along the coast at about 1:00. this is coming out of the south so it will be a hazy wind and

will still have humidity. it's not going to be a clear dry wind like out of northwest. temperatures right now. you can see 70s and 80s and it's the dew point, up in the muggy levels and 60s in some areas. we won't get to the 80s because it's oppressive and definitely different out there by our standards. 85 to 91 and 81 to 86 on the peninsula. 71 to 14 on the coast and 76 in downtown san francisco. up to the north bay and 90s possible a little farther north with a little more sunshine. 80 to 84 until you get to castro valley, and if we're lucky we may get to 90 to 1 about. the air is still hat at least by average standards. going to the game this afternoon. poor air quality out there. hazy and temperatures in the upper

upper 60s along the coast and after we get to the low 80s say around 2:00, and we'll be in the 60s and 70s everywhere by 8:00. >> let me show you the low, 65 to 15. that's what i'm talking about. we're still not going to cool off until the 50s and 660s that we're used to in the overnight and that will keep your some areas that are really warm right now from getting the comfort level that you want. my accuweather forecast, but the time we get to the wednesday is all of us are dealing with the sea breeze and everybody will be able to breathe easier and sleep better. >> open the windows. >> thanks, mike. >> you bet. >> at mission is 8 bucks on lone tree way and the city is opening the community centers for those who need a place to be out of the heat. hundreds of cyclists are competing in the 43rd annual

giro d'san francisco. several area roads are closed. we caught up with the winner of the first leg, morgan hills samantha queeno, her first season as a competitive racer. >> on the bike it's always an adventure every day and it's just a place of escape and i love through the heat. >> there are five races left today between noon and 3:00. baby news from the royal family. prince williams and dutch etch kate expecting their third child. coming up next, what may have led the palace to announce

delighted. kate was scheduled to appear at the palace today but she's suffering from extreme morning sickness. >> with hg you're talking about vomiting that could be every hour or her hour and in obstetrics we're taking care of two lives so both have to be considered in the primester and it affects the pregnant woman, the spouse and her whole family. kate is possibly eight to 12 weeks. the new little one will be fifth in line to the throw. when your nephew and niece are ahead of you they always have that to hold over your head. >> you can't be the mean uncle. you may be the fun uncle. >> still talking about that smoke out there and it looks like it will hang around for a little while. >> even though the raindrops may fall. not enough to clear the terrible air quality we're dealing with right now. parts of us like the coast will

start to see the sea breeze and marine layer. we'll get the complete air by wednesday. tomorrow the air may be iffy. it's wednesday on that we'll really get back to our normal pattern. >> check out santa cruz. sprinkles in santa cruz also. >> that's it. have a great day, everyone.

and i'm an arborist with i'pg&e in the sierras. the drought in california has killed trees on a massive scale. any of those trees that fail into power lines could cause a wildfire or a power outage. public safety is the main goal of our program. that's why we're out removing these hundreds of thousands of hazard trees. having tools and technology gives us a huge edge to identify hazard trees. my hope is that the work we're performing allows that these forests can be sustained and enjoyed by the community in the future. together, we're building a better california. do you want to do a monster check? yes. no monsters. ♪ how about the drawer? ♪ no monsters. nightly monster checks are how grant makes home his. and homegoods is what makes it all possible.
