the 60s at the coast, low 70s arriving inland and by the afternoon a few 90s for you around the livermore valley, near 80 around the bay, and by 10:00 the fog is back, and you can see that, of course from our live camera here where our east bay hills shot shows a bit of haze in the distance and that low cloud deck is at about 2,000 feet. as we scour away the low clouds and fog we'll certainly see a return of that sea breeze. and a look at san rafael where it's partly to mostly cloudy this morning. low clouds starting out the day, keeping temperatures typically cool with 357 in the city, 60 in mountain view with upper 50s in san jose. just a little bit of warming on the way despite all of this. and looking at mount tam you can see that haze at the surface here. so some of that due to the pollutants from the fire around fresno county. we're looking at those areas allowing for this to accumulate

in the morning, the pollution. but it'll be dispersed throughout the afternoon, and most of the hazy conditions will be in the south bay and the central coast. 55 in santa rosa, and 58 by the delta, that southwest wind at 18, and a look to here at 280. low clouds and fog, even patchy drizzle at the coast and warmer today for some. we'll say the inland valleys. a little bit hazy the further south you go and cooler weather on tap for everyone next week. we're talking about maybe 4 degrees of warming for you in san jose. that's a warm day at 86 degrees. . on the peninsula the sea breeze picks up. mid and upper 70s for you. low 80s palo alto and downtown san francisco it's going to be another cool day. but if you're right up along the shoreline here don't expect much sun. 55 in theut 68 if you're csehe di 83 in petaluma, so really some tae numb

ez kicksp throughout t mild for oakland, 77. 80 in union city so really comfortable there. and you head inland a and we're looking at just a little bit of warmth here with about 90 for you in san ramon. numbers in the mid and upper 50s with a return to the fog and the accuweather seven day forecast showing the warmest days inland and looking at that typical spread on monday, but it's cooler weather with highs trending below average inland, and that means a stronger sea breeze for many of you around the bay and at the coast. liz? >> all right, good to know. thank you, eight some. the deaf and hard-of-hearing communities are running into we like having difficulty wearing masks so one woman started making sea through masks to help break the pbarrier. >> i sew and cook and make jam,

and apparently i was destined for another era. i started making regular cloth masks from day one just because i had fabric at home. it felt good to do something to use my skills, you know, just to do something. i'm hard-of-hearing. i've really struggled to understand people through their masks. i got asked by someone in the community. she's hard-of-hearing but she serves the deaf community. if i could make a clear window mask, and i actually wasn't aware of them. and i was like, oh, sure, let me do some poking around. i ended up sewing one for myself and i couldn't walk down the street without someone asking me where i got it and it all kind of went from there. i've had a number of families who just reached out to say, like, thank you so much. our whole family has really been struggling. even if you're not hard-of-hearing i'm sure you've experienced just saying, sorry, what?
