to get dark out there despite all the cloud cover. so we are looking at a weak system that is moving through to parts of northern california and the tail end of it washing out, allowing for sprinkle activity. well to the north of our radar sweep around clear lake here, just east of ukiah. so maybe a sprinkle some noma down through marin, but otherwise you're noticing the very mild temperatures out there, upper 50s in san francisco right now, 59 half moon bay. yes today it was 63. and the warm spot in livermore 82. and today a fairly typical we're starting out pretty warm. in fact, a lot warmer than yesterday. 60 in san jose, 62 in concord. and there's a view of a quiet pier 39. so sprinkles is perhaps in the far north bay. this morning. then the clouds, a fair amount of them lingering throughout the afternoon. but some peeks of sun will even linger into sunday. but we'll get into a warmer day in the afternoon on sunday and then a big warming trend that

looks to peak around thursday. so between tuesday and friday, we're talking about temperatures really climbing. so we're going to take you through the next several days, 6:00 notice, maybe see a sprinkle here or there, and then we get into the afternoon, we can see a good deal of breaks in the overcast there. so we'll be partly sunny even on the coast, perhaps. but then more clouds begin to filter in for the overnight hours, starting out pretty cloudy sunday morning. and then throughout the afternoon, once again, partly sunny, partly cloudy, taking this into monday, because here's another weak front that once again will visit the north bay, but then wash out and we'll be left with high pressure building and warmer temperatures as soon as tuesday. in terms of rainfall amounts for your saturday, you can see barely anything to write home about just maybe 1/100 over in richmond, maybe along the coast, even along perhaps the peninsula. but otherwise it's system after system. this is the

one on monday that is pushing well to the north, just giving us the cloud cover, maybe trimming back the temperatures a little bit. but overall, as we get into your sunday, we're rebounding into the low to mid 80s inland. this is the monday system that brings temperatures down a few degrees and then by tuesday, we're back up to warmer conditions. there's a look at the eclipse, 805 starting peaking at 920, ending at about 1042. and unfortunately, a lot of cloud cover out there. but as i said, 920, you'll probably notice it pretty dark out there, 72 in oakland, partly sunny for you, 75 in fremont, looking at upper 70 in san jose and the accuweather 70 forecast. so today the cooler day out of the weekend but still some afternoon sun warmer for sunday and then that weak system monday and then look at the warm up we're well into the upper 80s and 70s on the coast could even see some 90s thursday looks to be the warmest day. so here we go again. >> here we go again. right? yeah. you got to love it. lisa, thank you so much. all right.

temperatures are going to be near average. we're already very mild out there. that's due to all the cloud cover. live doppler seven picking up on that. a weak cold front is pushing through the far north bay and that is allowing for just a couple of sprinkles. north of our radar sweep here. you can see a few returns around clear lake. but otherwise, it's all about the clouds and insulating us this morning, 56, one of the cooler locations is saratoga alum rock and sunnyvale with temperatures in the upper 50s in mountain view. so down in the south bay, the east bay, maybe the far east bay, a better shot of viewing that eclipse 61 in novato 60 in san pablo a 62 in alameda. pretty view here from emeryville sprinkles perhaps in the north bay maybe along the coast half moon bay but then that system is out of here and we break out into some partly sunny conditions. this afternoon the clouds will be lingering into early sunday and then once again, partly cloudy in the afternoon. another system heading our way on monday. and

then after that, we get rid of the cloud cover and we get into much warmer conditions tuesday through about next friday. so we'll run you through the next several days here. you'll notice the few sprinkles there early on . by 330, you'll notice that we have the clearer conditions. east bay, south bay cloud cover once again for early sunday, the afternoon partly cloudy and warmer. temperatures climbing into the 80s on sunday. monday will bring the temperatures back down as this weak front pushes to the north and gives perhaps a sprinkle or two. once again to sonoma county. so as for this morning, notice not getting anywhere near precipitate on that. you'd notice perhaps a couple hundredths up towards napa, maybe 1/100 in san francisco. and then here is a look at that weaker system into monday beyond that, though, high pressure builds on in and that's what's going to bring above normal temperatures. some breezy offshore winds perhaps in our inland valleys. and that's going to set the stage for

temperatures not only warmer inland but even around the bay to the shoreline. again where coastal temperatures will be near 70 degrees. so some very mild weather wednesday, thursday , in fact, on the warm side. here's a look at livermore average high 81, a little bit shy of that. today. we bump up the numbers for your sunday. cool it off with that weak system on monday and then by tuesday we're back into the 80s wednesday, thursday looking at the warmest weather and some 90s perhaps arriving in our inland valley. so for the eclipse, if you're well inland, we're talking maybe even east of livermore, and that's when you get your best chance of seeing it. because as it peaks at 920, still holding on to a lot of cloud cover. but you'll notice it's going to get darker out there. high temperatures today, this afternoon with some cloud cover in the upper 70s, but partly sunny elsewhere in the south bay. about 80 around morgan hill, 72 in oakland, look for 70 up in the north bay near napa and san francisco, a mild

70 degrees. the accuweather seven day forecast so maybe a sprinkle early then we'll warm it up tomorrow with mid 80s inland upper 70s around the bay a late day chance of a few sprinkles again on monday. then the warming trend so every time we try to bring in a little rain it kind of does a materialize. so we'll go with a much warmer weather wednesday, thursday and even friday. still looking on the warm side. so why not? >> got to love october in the bay area. >> not not as warm as we had it a couple of weeks ago. >> yeah, that's true. yeah i enjoyed that though. >> yeah. that was all right. >> lisa, thank you so much. a reminder to you, you can get our live newscast, breaking news, weather and much more with our abc7 bay area streaming tv app on apple tv. google tv, fire tv, roku just search abc7 bay area and download it. and we have a
