might be pretty mild inland tonight excuse me, afternoon. high temperatures losing my voice. afternoon high temperatures will range from mid 60s at the coast to upper 70s and low 80s near the bay to mid 90s inland and the accuweather seven day forecast shows a sharp cooldown tomorrow, but a gradual warming trend begins over the weekend and it will be hot again by midweek next week. we'll be right back. >> this summer, happiness is a new chevy. >> you can go farther, tow more course you can't become and bring along everyone you love. >> your road to happiness begins in a new chevy. get 1.9% financing on all 2023 silverado 1500 crew cab lt turbo pickups or get 7500 total value when you trade in an eligible vehicle, see your bay area chevy dealers today with allegra allergies don't hold us back.
