tuesday, which will bring a slight chance of showers north of sonoma county. 50s and low 60s tomorrow morning. temperatures close to 80 in san jose and not quite as warm inland. mid-80s for most spots south of downtown. san francisco upper 60s around ocean beach and near 70 degrees around downtown san francisco. 70s to low 80s around the north bay and towards the tri valley, temperatures tomorrow climbing in the mid-80s. we'll see those onshore winds picking up. as that sea breeze increases, we will see a system here that is dropping down the coast and close enough that you can see how showers are getting pretty close to the bay area. right now the low sitting too far offshore to bring us any real threat of rain. watch the forecast tuesday night into wednesday. if it sets up closer to the coastline, there could be a chance of showers. what it's going to do is reinforce the slight cooldown for the middle part of the week. livermore, low 80s and rebounding towards friday and around san jose, temperatures

dropping. but the coolest day probably on tuesday. and see the numbers on the increase towards friday and in san francisco, highs kind of holding steady, upper 60s to lower 70s. one thing we will see towards the end of the week and approach the weekend, a significant warm-up for almost all locations as we get towards next saturday and sunday, now in lthe 90s fora few spots next weekend. it's been fairly mild this weekend but the end of the week looks warmer around the bay area. >> sounds great thank you so much. >> the 49ers a month away from their city opening at levi stadium. >> the problem that kept fans away from training camp.
