weather and traffic together. it's friday morning. hello. >> the other end of the desk. >> what do you have on your end? we know we've been seeing cold starts to our days this week. that trend continuing again today. >> it will be getting milder heading into the next couple of days and this afternoon will be

very nice. so, make sure as you head out the door, you're wearing long sleeves and you have some short sleeves you can wear as temperatures warm up. take a look at the seven-day forecast as it comes up at the bottom oof the screen. our temperatures will be much milder heading into the next few days but it is cool out there now. in the east bay, 38 deit grgree. north bay we had some fog and still in the upper 30s. as we get a closer look at the east bay now. livermore is at 39 degrees and dublin is at 36 and lafayette is now at 34 degrees. in san francisco, it is 44 degrees. as we take it hour by hour in the south bay, our temperatures start out at about 43 degrees, but all of that sunshine warm those temperatures up very quickly. and by this afternoon we're up to 66 degrees by 3:00. and as you get ready to head home during that evening commute, we are still in the lower 60s. and we will have some mid-60s in parts of the peninsula, like palo alto 65 degrees and the

mission district 63 deit grgree 65 in oakland and san ramon looking at 62 degrees. so, heading into the weekend, there will be a couple of weather systems, but moving farther to the north and kind of fizzling out before that cold front gets here. and in the meantime, high pressure will continue to nudge in from the south and that will keep our weather dry and allow our temperatures to continue to warm. that warming trend continues into the start of next week. as we do keep it rain free, it would be nice to see some showers in the forecast, but as you can take a look at the bottom there, you can tell we have nothing but sun icons for every day into next week. so, we are enjoying some milder temperatures that's in the low to mid-60s. upper 60s and even 70 deit grgrn saturday and more widespread 70s and up to 73 deit grgrees for s bowl sunday in the south bay. let's see what's when you cross
