9:20 am
today, changes arrive around the bay with that sea breeze. 60s and 70s. this is for your monday, a little bit cooler. into tuesday, a modest warning trend. the winds will be coming out of the north, something definitely to watch. we still have 80s on the peninsula. that's all due to when that sea breeze kicks in. we're going with mid-80s from palo alto to san mateo, redwood city. upper 80s in the south bay. san rafael, 84 today. the accuweather seven-day forecast, looking at slightly cooler air arriving through the overnight hours. still above average, though, all throughout the week. as we get closer to the weekend, we will get into some cooler, more fall-like air. but that also could bring some gusty offshore winds. so no rain, liz, that's what everyone is hoping for, not much left of october and it's still looking pretty dry. >> not out of the woods yet for fire season. thanks, lisa. ahead, a preview of the new take on the classic game show

9:49 am
warming up pretty quickly. and no wind. 59 santa rosa, mid-60s in napa with a 65 in concord, 62 in livermore. when we get that sea breeze, it will be light. so we're still expecting mid-70s in san francisco, hopefully, because it was really hot again yesterday. air quality has been moderate to good around the bay area. and without much wind, and without this area of high pressure moving, we are still looking at kind of those hazy conditions from san francisco to oakland to san jose. not much to really kick this area of high pressure out of here, when the systems to the north just don't make it this far south. looking at santa cruz, we're well into the 60s here. we'll be in the 80s. it was in the 90s yesterday. and what a narrow temperature range yesterday from low to mid-90s, that was everybody, once again. today we're counting on the fog and the weak sea breeze to bring us a little bit of cooling, still above average. as we cool down through your
9:50 am
monday, we'll reverse the trend tuesday and wednesday. this time of year, it's not always about the temperatures. it's about the wind flow. and as we get to the colder air mass moving in over the weekend, we're going to have some strong north/northeast winds, potentially. even though we're cooling off, we still have to worry about fire danger into next weekend. as we look at our highs in our inland east bay, should be in the mid-70s. we're worried about 90 today for danville and walnut creek. as we get towards your monday, a little bit of cooling, back up to the 90s. that much cooler air mass will dive over california. that will set up the stage for some -- unfortunately it looks like some windy conditions by the weekend. 87 today in santa clara. another warm one here with 89 in san jose on the peninsula. fog forming late in the afternoon. that weak sea breeze. you'll still warm up quickly. that's why i think you're going to see those 80s return.
