it is departing, but it is creating the wind we have had throughout the afternoons. right now it's pretty late. the clouds are with us and they will be for the bulk of the day. downtown, 51. 57, oakland. 60, mountain view. 51, morgan hill. it is going to be a day where it will be comfortable, but temperatures will be in a narrow range. 51, santa rosa. upper 50s in the valleys. as we look at sfo, low to mid- 60s for san mateo. upper 60s as you head toward palo alto. clouds clearing to the coast. it's breezy and below-average this afternoon. just a smidge warmer for your monday. tuesday as well. we will hold onto the breezy afternoons each and every day.

the rest of the day, as the fog pulls back, this is late afternoon. it comes back tomorrow morning. late monday, it gets swept away from the coast so that's why we could see temperatures nudge up a bit. the winds this afternoon, 20 to 30 miles per hour and even stronger from the peninsula to san francisco. the clouds clear for your monday afternoon but just is breezy and maybe even windier in oakland with wind gusts to 30 miles per hour. livermore, over 30 miles per hour. even more sun on tuesday and some of the inland valleys warm up, look at the purples. it's very breezy for y ho winds as for today, we should be maybe 5 to 7 degrees warmer than we are.

we will take it. looking at the relative humidity, we will only see temperatures climb to the low 60s in oakland. 63, san mateo. the 70s in the inland valleys with 72 in santa rosa. in the afternoon, windy. the accuweather seven-day forecast looking at a breezy day as we start a cloudy on your monday. tuesday, as we warm up it still milder around the bay with upper 60s. 50s all along the coast. wednesday when the next area of low pressure visits us and that will bring a stronger maureen push. windy conditions and temperatures not climbing out of the low 70s in land and 60s around the bay. it will be a cool stretch but we are getting sunnier today. some of the most unusual ideas have turned out to be moneymakers. that is what one property maker hopes will happen. he selling a 1.1 acre lot that is not your typical buildable property.

ballpark outside of oakland. here is another disclosure. he on several other lots underwater. >> one at a time. if someone wants to buy more, i can sell more. >> reporter: for now, he is just testing the waters. >> own a piece of san francisco. buy into the future. >> reporter: nothing like a good sales pitch. >> you think you have seen it all. from the bay area to the big stage, the two local college students whose creativity cou majestic mountains... scenic coastal highways... fertile farmlands... there's lots to love about california. so put off those chores and use less energy from 4 to 9 pm when less clean energy is available.

"good morning america" asked me , and people across the country, to pick someone who has had a great impact on our lives this past year. i picked you. >> i didn't know that. thank you. >> reporter: i want to read to you because i want you to hear this, what i said and this is on behalf of so many of us. every time there's a new covid- 19 headline i turned to one source and that is dr. gandhi.

early in the pandemic, i started seeing her talk about covid in terms that anyone could understand. by comparing the pandemic to the disease that has already devastated a generation of gay men in our community, she intelligently encouraged us and her medical colleagues to rethink covid era policy. her best experience with hiv a.i.d.s. informed her to think in terms of harm reduction rather than fear and shame tactics that history is shown doesn't work. i believe her expertise locally and nationally has saved and improved lives during this year. she deserves our thanks. so thank you. >> i am very touched. that is very touching and i am very moved by that. there is nothing more important to me than being an hiv doctor. i want to bring it into the covid work. i'm very grateful. >> reporter: i mean every word.

tell the other doctor none of it. i don't want him to know i picked you over him. robert, you have been in san francisco since the 70s. you have seen pre--hiv a.i.d.s. san francisco during the worst of it and now posed. i am wondering what your thoughts are now as we are heading into this next a.i.d.s. walk. what will you be thinking of that day? >> i have seen the devastation the epidemic brought in san francisco and the world. looking back, i first went to my first a.i.d.s. walk thinking i wanted to gather with people and the grief and share in the grief at an event. i went to the park expecting a sad affair and instead it was happy. people were celebrating and dancing and singing. it is a way for people to get together and celebrate the people they have lost and celebrate those still fighting. this is our 35th a.i.d.s.

walk. $100 million into the community has been raised over the years for different agencies that we help in different services provided. the agencies need that money now more than ever. things have pivoted away to covid, which is great. we have to remember that we need help, those underserved communities served by these agencies need our help. >> reporter: dr. gandhi, are we hope will that what we are able to garner from this new vaccine for covid could lend itself to a vaccine one day for hiv a.i.d.s.? >> you are right. the search for a vaccine has been unsuccessful so far which means we have not eradicated hiv. we are at 38 million people with hiv. these mrna vaccines are pretty amazing.

there was some initial work even at the recent hiv meeting that mrna vaccines could provide hope for being the vaccine. i think you will see a huge amount of research on this. learning from covid and applying it to hiv. >> an incredible conversation. a.i.d.s. walk starts at 10:00 a.m. this year's virtual event will stream online and on abc7. we are proud sponsor of the event which will pitcher billy porter, rita moreno, rosie perez, ben platt, george takei and many more. proceeds benefit 35 service organizations across the bay area. there is time to register and raise funds today. we hope you take part. visit sf.aidswalk.net or call the number on your screen. dan ashley is there live and we will bring more at 10:00 a.m. two young developers in san francisco are getting attention on the world stage. college seniors are finalists in microsoft's imagine cup.
