it's 7: 4/3. yes, we're still waking up to some of that cloud cover been look at these high clouds over walnut creek. all along this area, it is 63 degrees right now. so we're already slightly cooler than what we've been waking up to the past couple of days. of course, you remember yesterday was very humid. we had that monsoonal moisture move in thursday night into friday morning. we can actually still see some

of that moisture kind of left over here in the east and if you look just offshore, we're seeing some lightning and some thunder just off in the water, which means yes, we do still have the chance of seeing a few of those spark of showers in the north bay. and that's because we still got this kind of system that's building off in the north and that could bring the chance of seeing some spotty showers for the north bay. and then even acongress the peninsula, we could catch drizzle into tonight and tomorrow morning. accurate temperatures, ocean beach, 60. bodega bay, 58. water temperatures are fairley seasonable. and in san jose right now, 66 degrees. so we're in the 50s and 60s all across the board, but we can expect to still warm up. so even though we've got that building marine layer along the coast, that's going to keep san francisco cooler than yesterday. yesterday we topped out in the 70s. further inland, we still have some of that warm air mass. and that's what's going to still

bump up those temperatures into the 90s for areas like concord, antioch, and even down in the south bay area like san jose, expect to hit a high of about 8 degrees. although yesterday, we weren't very hot. it was, i think, about 84. but, again, compared with how we usually are around this time of year, when you paired that up with that moisture yesterday, that's what gave it that humid, sticky, tropical feel. i have a lot of folks who were telling me that they had to stay inside. i know our producer, rick, kiera said they were in search of that a/c yesterday and that's bringing up some electricity bills. 63 in the bay area. 72 for inland spots. we will warm up into it 80s by 3:00. we're still seeing that warm air mass into some of the interior valleys and that's going to warm up up into the 90s. for sunday, we're expecting to see sunnier conditions. we're keeping that cloud cover

today, but we're on tap for a cooling trend as we head into tomorrow. so 68 degrees. by 12:00, 82. by 3:00, we will be climbing into our highs. we will stay into the upper 80s. we're not expecting to see as many 90s for tomorrow, and cooling off by about 70 degrees. over the next seven days, this is where we have our changes coming. as we head into sunday, we can expect to see a high of about 65. then over the next seven days for san francisco. inland, we start seeing a drop back down into those 80s which is going to keep us more seasonable. and that's because we are expecting to see that marine layer deepen and build up as we head into sunday and then, of course, into the saturday of the workweek. so a cooldown is on the way. >> we'll take any cooldown we can get. thanks. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, a remarkable recover. a cal rugby player talks about his lengthy comeback from paralysis in an exclusive interview, next.
