conditions with plenty of sunshine. in fact, we're going to get a lot more sunshine through the rest of the week. so here's an example. in concord, our high will be 74. we're going to be in the mid 90s by wednesday. so tuesday, wednesday, thursday will be the warmest days of the week. that's because the winds will ease. high pressure will build. and we'll get a weaker on shore flow. so mondays when we start to see the lighter winds and the temperatures warm up, we really heat up inland on tuesday, hitting the 90s. the warmest day will be wednesday, mid 90s inland, around the bailo 80s. and at the coast mid to upper 60s. then the cooling begins and we'll see a cooling trend into next weekend. eric? >> frances, tnk ahead on abc7 n 11:00, bay area union members took a knee at candle stick park.
