later on tonight. the wind forecast shows by the arrows you see the wind coming in from the north but not much as we see the winds at about 5 to 10 miles an hour throughout the day and then the direction becomes offshore. so those temperatures will be heating up all of that heat rolling in from the central valley and then it shifts directions later on this evening, but by then it's already hot. at least it will allow those temperatures to cool off tonight once again. also some strong rip currents today heading out to area beaches and the water temperatures have been in the lower 60s, but the wave heights will be anywhere from 5 to 7 feet and the wind coming in from the north with some gusts really not that high at about 15 to 20 miles an hour, but still pretty choppy out there and the beach forecast will be much more comfortable than our inland temperatures. we will take another look at the microclimate forecast coming up. i will send it back to you, sam and kris. >> thank you very much. pediatricians say that kids who struggle with homework might not need a tutor after all, they
