build in to bring us a brief warm up. but the fog is going to stay at the golden gate bridge, where we have a little bit of mist and drizzle. so there's that system up in the pacific northwest that brought the thunderstorms and nearly an inch of rain in seattle. portland got a lot of rain and we just got the tail end of that. so as we go through the next several hours, it's going to be more sunshine and more typical for late august. there's the breeze from our roof camera and temperatures 13 degrees spread right now from 58 san francisco, 65. in oakland, it's 68 in hayward with 70. in san jose, low 60s redwood city. half moon bay has some fog as well as santa rosa. and that cool 57 up in santa rosa, 59 in petaluma with upper 60s. few in our inland valleys. the delta west wind at 14. and what a gorgeous sparkling view here from our exploratorium camera. so still some fog there from the north bay, increasing sunshine throughout the rest of the

morning. and then later on today you'll notice we're warmer, we're sunnier, and later on this week, much cooler conditions as another system is slated to move from the pacific northwest into extreme northern california. so we'll be watching that one closely. the fog not much left of it. you can see around the bay in the next hour. we've got some patches here, and then we're into a sunny afternoon. clouds at the coast will keep it cool, maybe partly cloudy at times for half moon bay, and then the fog quickly pushes across the bay again. but it's not going to last too long into your monday morning. it's going to pull back by about 9:00, and you'll notice once again getting hung up in parts of the east bay and south bay. but it's a warmer day for your monday and today you'll notice gently how the temperatures climb up through the 70s to just about the low 80s around pleasanton. this afternoon, and our inland valleys dropping off for a nice evening in the upper 70s. so really, the warmest numbers

here. still below average for our inland valleys, but we'll make up that difference as we get into tomorrow and the warmest day on tuesday. so this system pushes away. we've got the ridge that will warm us up throughout the middle of the week. and then watching this system on friday, bringing us that bigger cooldown. here's a look at the highs today with 72 in oakland, 86 in concord. so a little bit warmer there out in the east bay, 74 palo alto and up in santa rosa. a brighter day at 82. the accuweather seven day forecast. warming up just a bit. the warmest day on tuesday and then slowly the temperatures slide back. we're below average by the end of the week. zach. >> lisa. thank you. when we return a possible solution to the loneliness epidemic. how a restaurant on the peninsula is connecting different generations through food. color flex alert. >> power outage is looming. >> that's just an alert. he's always getting worked up about something. flex alerts notify us of preventable power outages.

people understand how important this opportunity is to getting housing built in our community and that the timing was off. >> the bond would have raised funds through a surcharge on property tax bills and distributed those significant dollars to bay area counties based on their contributions, including big dollars to big cities. with 2 billion coming to san jose alone in the north bay. 2 billion would have been spread out among the four counties, and the other five counties would have gotten around 2 billion each, including 2.5 billion for santa clara county money. supervisor chavez says, could have gone a long way. we have 12,000 homes somewhere in the pipeline that are affordable, that just need a little bit more money to get over the finish line and get built. >> 12,000 so for us, this is a significant loss when the need for housing is top of mind as the state continues to clean up encampments and move homeless off the streets. >> why this vote? the commissioners say there is not enough support for the measure at this time. only 55% approval

in recent polls. disappointing, but there's hope for a future ballot. >> i would call for and ask that we all take that energy of disappointment to ensure that prop five passes, to ensure that that very first step takes place, so that we can move forward with this when it comes through again. >> prop five would lower voter approval thresholds from 67% to 55. if this passes in november, an effort to get the bay area affordable housing bond approved could come in 2026, finally providing the money bay area residents desperately need. dustin dorsey abc seven news. j.r. >> stone is going to have sports after the break, but first let's check in on weather with lisa argen. >> all right zack what a gorgeous view here from our emeryville camera looking out towards the golden gate bridge where you see maybe 500ft of a marine layer there. low to mid 60s in oakland with 70s on the way today, but much cleaner air, lower relative humidity, all the details coming up

pleasant, low 70s. so a nice day for baseball and yesterday's system that brought all the unusual weather to the bay area out of here. we are in between systems, from the trough to the north and west of us, to a ridge that will allow for a warming trend getting going today. but not here. we will have patchy low clouds continuing to cling to the coast in spots today. so it won't be totally cloudy everywhere. but more or less we're going to see partly to mostly cloudy skies here near 60, and even some mist and drizzle still fog up in the north bay in spots where it was pretty dense for a while. but elsewhere, that marine layer scattering out 58 downtown, 65 in oakland, 69 in hayward with 70 in san jose and low 60s half moon bay, there's a look at walnut creek. so from the bridge to our inland valleys, where we're going to have more warmth in some 80s arriving today, 62 santa rosa with low 60s in napa and upper 60s concord and livermore. nice and bright here downtown, looking at increasing

sunshine for pretty much everyone. and by this afternoon we're warmer. and that forecast is going to hold through tomorrow and tuesday. wednesday begins our cool down. and then it gets much cooler with temperatures below average by the end of the week. as another pretty robust system drops out of the pacific northwest. the sea breeze will be with us each and every day at about 2526 miles an hour. so that will allow for those winds to continue to dry. things out. so we will watch that because the system by the end of the week could bring some rain. it also could bring some lightning. also, this time of year things continue to get super dry right on through the fall. so those winds will do that as well as even though we're getting the cooler numbers at the end of the week, 82 in los gatos, 74 in milpitas today on the peninsula upper 70s there for redwood city with 74 in palo alto. so a partial sun at times along the coast. and we've got a near

average temperatures downtown with upper 60s in the north bay, much brighter few 82 santa rosa by the water here, vallejo 83. and on the bay shore there are lots of low 70s from san leandro, union city 74 heading inland, some 80s arriving with 82. pleasanton, 84, in antioch. the accuweather seven day forecast so that sunny, mild, breezy forecast continues into tomorrow and tuesday. tuesday being the warmest day with mid 90s inland. that's kind of hot with upper 70s around the bay. and then we're turning cooler wednesday. big cool down for the end of the week. could see a few sprinkles and temperatures are looking to rebound. actually though, by the middle of next weekend. so stay tuned. >> zach okay lisa. thank you. on the peninsula, whales have been making their presence known along the coast of pacifica recently. these photos and videos were recorded by viewer maria escalante at linda mar beach this week. experts tell us changing ocean temperatures are sending whales, food sources,
