a little fine line formation, retinas and brown spots. >> reporter: that's because on the light spectrum blue light is next to light that is very harmful. the sun is multiple times worse than our devices when it comes to exposure, and unlike uv, blue light is not thought to cause skin cancer. however -- >> there is ever that visible light can actually cause our skin to make pigmentation, particularly in people of color. >> reporter: dr. roman is a clinical professor of dermatology at stanford specializing in lasers and skin of color. >> it can be splotchy pigmentation and can be really unsightly and can affect people's lives. >> reporter: the good news, you can block blue light. >> you need the sunscreen to really sit on the skin in order to block the blue lye light. >> reporter: dermatologists say to use mineral-based sun screens. chemical sun screens do not blue light. on many devices, you can

bodies into creating a safe fragment of the covid virus and triggering an immune response. >> the most interesting is the messenger, just the rna. >> reporter: drug giant pfizer is also working with a technique, but it's not the only innovation in play. researchers at oxford have used a charleston virus to create a so-called trojan horse. its job, carry fragments of the covid virus into the body without being detected leaving the immune system to attack them. >> and then that is your vaccine. then you immunize humans with that. >> reporter: stanford immunology professor says other companies like novavax are using their own proprietary add-ones to boost overall effectiveness while johnson & johnson says they're building on a technology they used to fight ebola in africa. a remarkable range of strategies unveiled in just a matter of months. >> so that's just been stunning progress. >> reporter: the first of

sandhya? >> yeah, it's going to be hot enough, let's put it to you that way, to make you sweat. okay, but it's not going to be tomorrow. it will be later on in the week. dan and ama, i want to show you why tomorrow the cooldown that started today will continue. that's because of this marine layer you're looking at from our mount tam cam. it has steadily been deepening. tonight it's at 1600 feet deep. and as a result, it's pushed into the berkeley hills, also has made its way into parts of the north bay. tomorrow morning, commute planner, if you do have one, it is going to be foggy if you're driving. so definitely watch out. light chop if you're taking the ferry across the bay, but it's certainly going to be murky and spotty drizzle if you are walking to work. here is look at live doppler 7. you can see how far the marine layer has advanced. it will continue to advance as we goinli dn five miles in half moon bay. so watch out at the time that you are commuting. 50s, 60s on your temperatures. the inland areas, though, we do have a few low 70s. so still warm from earlier

today. today those temperatures came down from the mid 60s to the mid-90s. we're going get you out of the 90s for most of you. exploratorium camera showing you the transamerica pyramid a little fuzzy because of the fog. morning fog and patchy drizzle. cooling continues tomorrow afternoon. and hot summer weather returns later this week. hour-by-hour forecast taking you into 5:00 a.m. you will notice some green indicating some spotty drizzle. 8:00 a.m. as well. mainly near the coast. but can't rule out a little mist and drizzle around the bay. as we head into the afternoon, the fog will be near the coast and hang around in the usual spots. temperatures will be in the 50, 60s out the door. and then for tomorrow afternoon, look for a comfortable day. 88 in antioch. 63 san francisco. 82 in san jose. 76 san rafael. 79 degrees in santa rosa. some of that fog will continue near the coast, and it is going to be breezy. now thursday those temperatures inch up. you will notice upper 90s.

comfortable still at the coast. but by friday, models are really pushing these temperatures up. we're talking topping the triple-digit mark. we'll see if this actually materializes. this is one model. so here is a look at the accuweather seven-day forecast. fog leading to a cooler day for tomorrow. and then a warming trend for midweek. but the heat spikes friday, saturday we're talk triple-digits inland. 60s, 70s near the coast. and over the weekend, not a whole lot of relief from the heat. i think tomorrow you have to savor it, because after, that the heat will begin to build. dan and ama? it's august. >> all right. that's true. thanks, sandhya. all right. no excuse for forgetting a face mask in one bay area city where they grow on trees. that story is next. and tomorrow on "good morning america," jason and molly from "the bachelor" and actor bryan cranston. stay with us. we'll be right back.
