to hot pattern that's going to hold through at least wednesday or tomorrow. clear sky tonight. i don't think it will be quite as breezy as last night so it should allow the temperatures to cool just a little bit more. rain and autumn chill is just nowhere to be found in the extended forecast. what we're seeing is a very progressive jetstream. the yellow arrows are the storm track. it goes way up into canada, taking all that cold air and depositing it in the eastern two-thirds of the country. in fact the high temperatures today in minneapolis, chicago, st. louis, atlanta, fargo, denver, all of those, are colder than our lows were this morning. these are their highs. in fact we had a little snow up around the u.p. of michigan earlier this morning. so let's take a look at our microclimates. look at the asterisk, that's tying or setting the record high of 91 in san jose. look at morgan hill and gilroy, 95. santa cruz, we showed you the beautiful picture, 92 grodegrees the high there.

90 in redwood city. near 90 in half moon bay today, 86 in pacifica. low 80s around the sunset and towards daly city but mid to up 80s for south san francisco and downtown san francisco. upper 80s around san rafael and vallejo. 90 to 94 as you go through the north bay all the way up to about clear lake, it's 92. 88 in oakland and san leandro. 90 in hayward, castro valley, orinda and fremont. inland, 90 to 93 degrees here. let's see how the day breaks down. are you thinking about going out for lunch today? make sure you're ready for low to mid-80s everywhere, even the coast. mid-80s at the coast. upper 80s around the bay. 90s inland at 4:00 and we should start to see some record high temperatures coming 8:00 still in the mid-70s. about ten degrees cooler than this morning. my accuweather seven-day

forecast, we'll make another run at some records tomorrow but it will definitely be cooler at the coast. some of that cooling will take a few degrees out of our temperatures thursday into friday and slowly into saturday and then we'll start to get an onshore breeze sunday and monday and bring us back into the 50s, 60s and 70s. looks like it's going to be dry all throughout. now your morning money report. the bid to get amazon to build its second u.s. headquarters in san jose comes with one big concern. traffic as well, but housing prices. san jose already has some of the fastest rising rents in the country. expect that to get much worse if the city lands the amazon deal. according to the business journal, san jose could experience severe rent growth and it could add up to $30,000 in rent hikes over the next ten years for individual households. amazon is expected to reveal the home of its new headquarters next year. now, if you play the mega millions lottery, get ready for big changes. starting saturday the game will be more expensive, have bigger

prizes and longer odds. here's what you need to know. tickets will now cost $2, double their current price. the starting jackpot will increase $25 million to $40 million. the odds of winning the big prize increase from 1 in 259 million to 1 in 303 million. but it will be easier to win a smaller $1 million prize. lottery officials say the changes are in response to customer requests. things are about to get spooky on "dancing with the stars." the big halloween show is next week, but nick lachey won't be there. coming up, the singer
