6:21 am
maybe extreme northern sonoma county. then we're sunny into tuesday afternoon. this begins our warming trend. monday, the temperatures temporarily coming down just a few degrees with a lot of cloud cover by tuesday. back up into the mid and upper 80s and wednesday, one of the warmer days, we've got 90s inland, but that warmth spreads across the bay to the coast, including oakland, san francisco and our beaches. once again, 75 in oakland, 79 in fremont, 82. in san jose, upper 70s in the north bay and the accuweather seven day forecast very foggy this morning through the mid to late morning hours. a lot of cloud cover for your monday brightening up on tuesday and warming up throughout the rest of the week. so it's going to be nice again in fact a little warm for sure. >> wednesday thursday thursday being the hottest. right. all right. looking forward to that. thanks, lisa. well, still to come, outstanding, but maybe overly booked. a high school grad with more than a perfect gpa and test scores gets rejected from over a dozen universities. but get this, he lands a job at google and a
