6:21 am
at live doppler 7. it's not showing up here and in fact all the way down the coast it is a shallow deck of low clouds so we'll look for some pretty quick warming out there. nice and sunny with numbers in the mid-50s, san francisco and oakland, mountain view. 58 in gilroy, 51 on the coast and it is going to be not only a warmer day inland but we're looking at some slightly cooler numbers this morning due to the clear sky. 49 in petaluma, 53 in napa, 60 by the delta, 59 concord and livermore. and you can see a bit of haze with that compressed marine layer out there. from our sutro tower camera temperatures about the same in the city, but the further you get away from the coast and the bay you're going to notice that warmup. in fact, even a little warmer around parts of the east bay as well this morning, the near east bay i should say. so the inland heat persists throughout the weekend, getting hotter tomorrow with increased fire risk. and then looking at cooler
6:22 am
temperatures on monday. as we get a surge of low clouds and fog, a better marine layer. so as we look at our fire danger index throughout the day today the blues and yellows come into play and that's basically in the higher elevations. the diablo range here where the brush is so, so dry and the temperatures are consistently in the 90s. relative humidity dropping below 20% even in around the 10% range in spots and also parts of the north bay. so high risk of fire danger where it's hottest and driest for sure. as we get into your monday i talked about the low cloud deck expanding and as it does it'll bring those numbers in our inland valleys down. so you'll notice the brighter colors being pushed further on tuesday and little more heat, maybe 3, 4 degrees in our inland valleys and as we get into wednesday very little change out interest. the good news is we're not look at big heat spikes and extremewise a big dome of heat over the bay area.
