numbers well above average. in the south bay, upper 60s to near 70. peninsula numbers looking like mid 60s, san mateo. you can see the clouds. afternoon sun here in the city, coolest locations with low 60s down in san francisco, with 59 in the . south city, 62. up in the north bay when the sun comes up, temperatures will climb and it will feel mild from 68 in calistoga. east bay another 10 or 12 degrees of warming today with 67 allowed for newark, afternoon sun. we'll call it partly cloudy for union city and fremont, 68 degrees. you head inland, we'll see a little more sun and milder numbers with numbers in and around 70 for antioch, 68 in livermore. temperatures in and around average today. maybe a slightly cooler than we were certainly to begin the week when we had all that sun. weak weather systems allowing

for that stronger onshore push, westerly winds if you're closer to the coast, allowing for widespread cloud cover. using that afternoon sun to scour out the clouds and thin out that marine layer. overnight tonight, we'll be in the 50s with partly to mostly cloudy conditions. the accuweather seven-day forecast featuring the morning clouds, sunnier afternoon. mid 60s around the bay. we'll call it about 70 inland. tomorrow, a little change. although we'll see the clouds increase throughout the afternoon. level one system arrives overnight sunday into monday for scattered showers, coolest day of the week. by tuesday we're into our warmer pattern. 80s aren't too far off in our inland valleys the rest of the week. liz? >> sounds good. looking forward to that. the shelter in place is difficult for everyone the more we go along, right? that's the point of our ongoing series, covid-19 diaries.
