feels like temperatures are well below average by about ten degrees in most cities. so looking at the morning forecast, we have cloud cover this morning breaking out for some midday sunshine temperatures starting out in the 50s, slowly climbing into the 60s after 9 a.m. this morning. but temperatures just like yesterday are going to feel cool for this time of the year. a lot of cloud cover in the city today. minimal sunshine, temperatures only in the mid 60s. 67 in oakland with a mix of sun and clouds. cool for september in san jose and walnut creek only coming in with a high of 73 degrees. so future weather with the clouds out there this morning, lunchtime will be the brightest part of your day. that's we'll see the most sunshine in the forecast over the next 24 hours, because later on this afternoon, those clouds build back in as that next area of low pressure gets closer to us and will finish out the day with overcast skies. so mix of sun and clouds today will keep those temperatures below average mid 60s to the mid 70s. that's about it. now tomorrow we have a chance of some drizzle before warmer weather moves in here.

said. two weeks ago they announced a partnership with a competitive organization called oro tech. i think we're going to see a little bit of an arms race with satellite technology really being able to look down and detect fires, but it's not just detection of the fires, it's the mapping of the fires. when it comes to detection, charlotte showed us new ai based wildfire smoke sensors so it can discern from a barbecue or a chimney or a wildfire. 50 and five sensors were installed at stanford, palo alto and woodside at the end of august. interestingly enough, right every wildfire or every fire has its own distinct fingerprint, right? >> so there's particulates and other aspects that make up a fire's composition. and these sensors are basically using that artificial intelligence and looking for pattern recognition. >> once it detects a wildfire, depending on the fire agency, a text alert will go out to the battalion chief. the palo alto fire department is collaborating with the n5 sensor technology. the fire chief said the initial

alert of a fire is key. >> it's really fundamental, it's the same case as a fire alarm would be in any occupancy. is that how soon can we be notified? >> 80 sensors are installed across the hawaiian islands. the sensors installed here in the south bay make up the largest installation in the continental u.s. what that says is that people understand the importance of notifying of such emergencies that are so catastrophic as you can see, from fires that are currently burning in palo alto. lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> 50 years after opening, bart says the transbay tube has just received a big upgrade and is ready for the future. the agency shared this new video from inside the rail tunnel yesterday. the tunnel is now retrofitted, and bart's general manager says it can withstand a major earthquake. >> the transbay tube now has a stronger steel lining. it has a more powerful and robust pumping
