east bay right now at 55 degrees. the north bay also seeing partly cloudy skies at about 47 degrees. here's a life look right now at that doppler radar. week actually see that marine layer really hugging the coast and that's going to burn off by mid-afternoon. as that begins to burn off, we can expect to see high pressure building over the bay area. and that's what's going to bring a warmup in those temperatures. we're talking about a significant warmup from what we've been seeing. take a look at today's microclimate highs. 90 for san jose, east san jose a high of 94, morgan hill 97, milpitas 91. but i really want to focus on the east bay because we're talking triple digit heat. yes, i'm talking about. we're talking about areas in danville at 103, walnut creek about 101, concord 103, antioch 102, so this is definitely dangerous heat as we head into the start of your saturday but this is expected to stick around through sunday. also looking along the peninsula we can expect upper 50s along the coast. daly city in the 70s.

even in san francisco we will be climbing into the low 70s and mid-70s for some areas like mission so expecting an overall very nice day for san francisco but definitely a warmer one. this is going to set us up for several days of warming, not just for today or sunday but also as we head into monday as well. knocking about napa if you plan to go wine tasting, we're expecting a high of 96, sonoma 95, novato 95. even in santa rosa at 93. now, point reyes is typically some of our cooler areas at 69 degrees for today, which is why ahead of this triple-digit heat that we can expect today, a heat advisory is expected to remain in effect until 9:00 p.m. on sunday. this is expected to take effect as of 11:00 a.m. for tomorrow, but since we are tracking triple-digit heat for today, we're already giving out that warning. please drink lots of water, wear light-colored clothing and of course protect your eyes, maybe wear a hat, some sunglasses. don't leave anyone in the car. remember those pets. if it's too hot for your feet, it's too hot for their paws so

then we'll stick to the 90s for the next several days. around this time of year, this is pretty hot for the bay area, so remember to drink plenty of water. kira, back to you. thanks. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, a local bobsled team is training for the winter olympics. we'll take you inside their unique training session. who are these people?

that nick did not have. until he met alonna. >> she told me i'll never date anybody that's not stronger than me. i knew if i wanted to date her, i had to get a lot stronger. >> the fact that we're working together toward certain goals is what enables us to reach them in the first place. >> reporter: first place is a goal that has eluded her at the olympics. in 2014 nick watched nervously from the stands as she raced to a silver medal. >> this is the taylors. >> reporter: later they made history together as the first husband and wife to compete at the u.s. championship. this summer the two have set up training camps in new york, phoenix, and here in hayward where nick hopes to draw inspiration from another bay area champion. >> for each competition, i make sure i put on my steph curry golden state warriors socks. >> reporter: golden socks the couple hopes will mean a golden trip this winter.

>> reporter: this year it will also pay homage to the millions of trees killed in the drought. >> it gives almost an outlet for the forest to be remembered and memorialized. >> reporter: while the idea is a sustainable use for a discarded material, there is a fact the temple will ultimately be burned. >> so we are technically adding carbon dioxide, but this wood would be burned anyway. >> reporter: in the meantime, a forest that has fallen will temporarily rise again. joe rosato jr. -- >> it's going to be a big fire. >> reporter: -- nbc bay area news. wow. wee much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, it was hugely popular in los angeles and now it's coming to san francisco. but you probably won't be able to see it. we'll explain why, next. howl
