>> looking back, joined by spencer christian, i drove back from monterey today, the weather was fine but it's a different story in southern california. people are wondering how that will affect us. >> it will have a minimal effect

on us. the storm is moving northward, plowing through central california but well to the east, which means that the effect here , you might not even notice it. is looking -- here's what's happening, all of these weather systems have nothing to do with tropical storm hilary, it's just a typical breezy pattern, and the only place you're getting gusts is santa clara with 24 miles per hour. there's the 24 hour temperature change across the bay area, generally about 10-15 degrees warmer than we work this time yesterday, and as you may have noticed, this is beginning to get more humid out there. a little bit sticky. here's the view from sutro tower, san francisco so far under blue skies, 37 degrees in the bay area, pretty warm san francisco standards, 93 degrees mountain view, low 90's in san jose and palo alto, 624 degrees in half moon bay. as we look westward from emeryville, blue skies, and 85

degrees in nevada, 90 degrees at napa, and low 90's at fairfield concord and livermore. as you might expect on a day like this, these are the forecast futures overnight, clouds overnight with scattered light showers, those are sort of related to the approach, the movement northward of tropical storm hilary, and we are cooler tomorrow with the occasional showers, the minimal input we will feel from the storm. drier and warmer by the end of the week. starting at midnight, that rain way out there is associated with northern movement of that storm, and light scattered showers start to move through the bay overnight through the early morning, perhaps a bit more widespread later in the morning. in the afternoon we see downpours moving in from the south for the central valley. that might get us as close as livermore or the diablo range,

that's just about it before things settle down. low temperatures under cloudy humid conditions will remain in the low-mid 60's, really sticky and mild and warm, highs tomorrow of mid-60's at the coast, a percent east -- 60's to nick -- 70's to near 80. in the east bay it's warmer, but not hot, mid-80's, at low-mid 80's in the south bay. here's the accuweather 7-day forecast, starting to dry out here and get warmer by tuesday. wednesday, it gets downright hot. in our inland areas, we are in the upper 90's and mid-upper 80's around the bay shoreline, still hot on thursday, and chuckled down on friday, that pattern will continue into the weekend. i look for to that. >> a little warm, but we can't complain with what they're dealing with in southern california. that's a serious situation and getting more serious by the hour. thank you so much spencer. is it football season yet?

>> it's getting close. the quarterback discourse is crazy, but we will try to calm people down a little bit. it's like spencer said, it's heating up a bit out here but the giants are feeling the heat even more as the dog days of summer are officially here, and speaking of pressure, the qb backer battle for the 49ers did not get any clearer, but we hear from the qb room next but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga,

the braves for the third straight playoff team that they have faced with three more to go. the phillies and the braves and then the reds. the giants are feeling the heat big-time. they have lost 12 of 13 on the road and have a three-game losing streak. luis matos called up to re brandon crawford, leslie a solo homer to left, the second of his career. the giants take it-zero. the braves took the lead back and then wilbur said i'll be there for you. his homework the best shot of the game, giving the giants the lead they needed, while takes it on, patrick bailey goes into left field, bailey is one of the best at throwing runners, game tied at three in the night, giants loaded the bases. after kirby yates struck out, the previous two batters, brock peterson with the chance to be here, he did not even take the bat off his shoulder. a four pitch walk leads to the go-ahead run, the giants snap their skin with a 4-3 win.

he said put me in coach, i don't think so. matteo deep to left center, tony kemp makes an effort but he cannot make the play at the baltics a bad bounce. matteo is flying. he is going for the inside-the-park homer, the relay throw is not even handled well and matteo is safe. he did not even have to slide, in the seventh, gunnar henderson, homer's here off the pole on the right, he was a single shy of the cycle, he had two doubles, why didn't he stop at first? a's blown out 12-0 -- one. the 49ers faithful. all they needed from blanche -- brock purdy, lead the team down the field, he left again, no doubt with the starting qb exposition. what about the backup? coach wanted to get shanahan in, finished 11 of 14, one interception and one touchdown, let's up to a slow start. our member people saying on

game, expect a lot of starters to be in that game. >> i like seeing them, but you get worried in the preseason. note he wants to see it. >> brock purdy took off scrabbling, but he stayed and took contact i was telling him get down, if the preseason what are you doing? >> is helping. >> is helping. >> alright, when he come back, the latest come kick off the season with our shop and score game that'll have you cheering for more! play for a chance at over 25 million in prizes and money saving offers - like this and this, or even this! or try to win $100,000 in guaranteed prize money.
