9:16 am
temperatures warm through the low to mid seconds throughout the afternoon. so nice and bright. the light breeze, warm sunshine. it will be a beautiful day over in oakland and much of the bay area. now this system here to the north brought our temperatures down around the ba. parts of the north bay. not so much in parts of our inland east bay. we did have some lower 90s and we will look for further cooling today by a few degrees. you can see the fog footprint this morning from the north bay right over the bay, but it's sunny in the east bay and then hugging the san mateo coast. so pulls back temporarily and you can see how we do have certainly sunshine here in the city from our sutro tower camera, but also areas of fog. 55 downtown. it is 61. in oakland with sunny skies in san jose, 66 and looking at okay, right now where you can see it's starting to brighten up a little bit. so we'll call it partly sunny. 56, santa rosa 57. in petaluma, we have had pockets of that dense fog in spots already, 72 in livermore. and as you look at the peninsula, just
9:17 am
a very thin ribbon of low overcast that will soon be eroding there. so areas of fog and then for today, sunny, mild to warm conditions once again. so we'll have that temperature spread at least 35 degrees. once again. so a very summer like pattern. and as we get into tomorrow i think the temperatures will come down maybe 2 to 3 degrees inland. and then by tuesday much cooler. we have breezy winds, north winds and then into wednesday as well. so although we'll be cooler, we have those dry conditions already. a red flag warning for western nevada. if you're headed to oakland today for the football. the baseball game for the athletics. low 70s to start out at 107 and ending in the mid 70s. so a lot like the parade there. beautiful conditions, highs today around the bay from about 70 downtown 76. in oakland we've got mid 80s either end of the bay from santa rosa to san jose, mid 90s inland. so we should bring us some of that heat relief for livermore today,
9:18 am
particularly vallejo at about 83. and then big day tomorrow. monday night football, jets and niners where we're going to see temperatures at about 80 degrees 5:00, 6:00. it's a mild evening into the upper 70s the light winds, it's always kind of warm down there. right. and then by 7:00 that sun setting. 723 we're in the low 70s and 8:00. it's a nice night into the upper 60s. so the accuweather seven day forecast we are featuring the low clouds and fog at the coast 60s to mid 90s. little change into monday. it gets much cooler into tuesday and wednesday, and then you'll see slightly warmer temperatures by the end of the workweek. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. just ahead, more than a million vehicles recalled this morning. the brake issues that you need to know if you are a dodge truck driver. >> right now, pet dander, skin cells and dirt are settling deep into your carpet fibers. stanley

9:24 am
trust. they know how to do that. >> santa clara county deputy district attorney erin west has taken on the battle against crypto scammers. >> unfortunately, we find ourselves in a period of time that we need to be wary of anyone that comes into our circle. >> the people who lose their life savings aren't the only victims. some people are being kidnaped and forced to scam, others. it happened to sarah, who agreed to speak with abc news using a pseudonym and with her voice and face disguised. she was living in south africa when she applied for a new job she believed would be in bangkok. well, i was expecting to be a customer service consultant. instead, sarah was kidnaped and brought to a compound in myanmar, where her passport was taken and her cell phone sim card destroyed. sarah took this photo outside the compound. >> when i got the first three days, they couldn't tell me what i was doing. all i could see people that were stressed, they were not happy, and they would just had their eyes glued on a
