beautiful. it will be hard to stay inside, but we want to make sure everyone keeps up social distancing. >> absolutely. at least i have a window with a little sun coming in. you will get to at least enjoy the view. but you don't have a view over san francisco. let me show you a live cam over san francisco. look at how clear and stunning it is right now. we have blue skies. you can see just how gorgeous it is. meanwhile, we have a couple of lingering clouds in some areas, including walnut creek. so we have a couple changes i want to tell you about. but let's get right to those current temperatures right now. we're in the 50s. 55 for palo alto. 54 in half-moon bay. santa rosa 54. and we are expecting another warm day ahead. so how long are we going to stay warm? the winds are expected to kick up.

but look at san francisco. 65 degrees. but when you compare that to 75 oakland, that warms up by 10 degrees. then when you go further inland, look at concord, 86 degrees. so we warm up by as much as 20 degrees when you go from the coast to areas like concord. martinez 83 degrees. a lot of sunshine in most areas, and that's why it is going to be so tempting to not go outside. take a little break. we want you to get some fresh air. be mindful of that. i want to show you over san francisco, you can see a little bit of that stratus. to our north, a storm track. again, we will notice that cloud cover starting to roll in, that marine layer getting deeper tomorrow morning. so we'll wake up with more of that and winds starting to kick up around the coast. slight cooling around the coastline. let's talk about the next step. we still have that high pressure

system that will remain dominant despite that storm track to our north. the high pressure will keep us dry and a little bit warmer in through the next several days. so you see that big h right there? that's the high pressure system. notice how the orange hues show when we will be warm. in inland areas, we'll remain in the mid-80s. by tomorrow, based on the storm track to our north, we will see cooling by 5, 6 degrees, 7 degrees in some areas, and then we'll remain in the 80s for the most part. monday and tuesday, we'll warm up again. notice by next friday, we will deep down into the 70s. as far as san francisco temperatures go, conditions will cool off a little for tomorrow. 62 degrees. an increase in that early morning cloud cover and then we'll remain in the 60s at least for the next several days. so we get the clouds returning

at times today, but for the most part it will be a pleasant but warm day ahead. i did have to turn on my ac yesterday because my window just wasn't enough. not a lot of breeze for inland areas, but on the coastline you can open up a window and get that breeze coming in later tonight as the clouds begin to build on the coastline. >> i'm going to have to bring out the fans. all right, thanks to much. still ahead on today in the bay, at 7:20, a uniquely bay area story for you. raj brought together some of his friends, the most famous bay area personalities for a special message. devices when not in use... or just letting the sun light your home. stay well and keep it golden. our system 24/7 to ensure that we have a fast reliable network, keep the customers connected, and making sure people are staying safe.

good saturday morning. it is 7:42, and we have a fantastic start to our morning with mostly clear skies, and i amtraki itracking warmer weathe the forecast. remember, we're still keeping our social distancing. a live look over san francisco so i can give you a fantastic view over the city. not a cloud in sight there. we do have some areas of warm weather hanging out. but it will remain above normal for this time of year. we will be fairly warm in the south bay. look at san jose. 82 degrees in oakland, 75. when you take it further inland

in areas like concord, we warm up to 10 degrees. meanwhile, along the coastline, one thing you will notice is we start to cool off a little bit. 65 degrees for san francisco. we will start to notice an increase in the winds by tonight and an increase in cloud cover by tomorrow. i want to show you satellite radar. sure we have some activity going on. let's bring it back home here so you can see that storm track just over the bay area near the portland area. we notice an increase in that marine layer, which will bring cloud cover early tomorrow. again, a little cooler around the coast and a little windier as well. what can we expect the next seven days? despite the cloud cover, in a little bit of cooling, we still have that high pressure that will be dominated in the forecast. not just for today, not just for tomorrow, but really all week long. that's going to keep our temperatures above normal, and this will also be impacting the lake tahoe area.

look at how beautiful this shot is. look at how the snow is already beginning to melt. now because of temperatures running about 10 to 15 degrees above normal, that will make for a quick snow melt and rushing rivers and lakes and all of that. please be careful. sierra snow 56% of average. that number is probably decreased. for the next seven days, it will remain in the 80s. here is the time to take a look at your lovely pets. these are work from home viewers. i asked our viewers to share. they're all brothers and sisters, all related. now, their human says that they're wearing it in honor of all of the essential workers to honor them. how about these smiling faces? tell me that's not cute. some of these pups look super happy. binks is starting to wonder why i'm always home. if you don't see your fella up

here, don't worry, i have plenty to share into tomorrow. thank you so much for sharing your snugly viewers. tell me if your pets love you being at home or if they're starting to get over it. >> oh, my gosh. what cute guys. hundreds of documents left out for anyone to see. we investigate the practice during the pandemic that could be leaving your private information exposed. some companies still have hr stuck between employees and their data.

entering data. changing data. more and more sensitive, personal data. and it doesn't just drag hr down. it drags the entire business down -- with inefficiency, errors and waste. it's ridiculous. so ridiculous. with paycom, employees enter and manage their own data in a single, easy to use software. visit paycom.com, and schedule your demo today.

documents left out in the open for weeking where anyone can rifle through them. that's what our hidden cameras discovered at san francisco superior court. the courts new process for filing cases during this pandemic may have violated the privacy of some of san francisco's most vulnerable. >> it's just stacks and stacks of documents here. >> reporter: these are sensitive records that are supposed to be kept confidential according to california state law. but they're out here in the open. >> this box has asks for domestic violence restraining orders. >> reporter: there are documents detailing family abuse, kids names and birthdays are included. >> we need to keep the courts open, but that's not an excuse for ignoring personal privacy.

>> reporter: we showed what you found to an attorney with consumer watchdog, a nonprofit that works to expose injustice in government and the courts. >> a person involved in domestic abuse or spousal abuse, they know that information will be generally available to the public, they may hold back and not file the documents. >> once you are through the security check point, you can see the records, even if they're not yours. >> reporter: all these documents are just left out in the open for anyone to look through or even take. to avoid the spread of coronavirus, you can no longer hand over your legal documents to a clerk. instead, you have to drop off your paperwork in these boxes and then come back in a couple of days to pick them up from these other boxes after the court has processed them. >> so you can't see anyone at all? >> no? >> reporter: this is not the kind of thing you'd expect to be happening in what's supposed to be the technological capital of the world. >> literally the backyard of

silicon valley, still on paper filing for some of the most sensitive matters. >> reporter: each of california's 58 counties has its own superior court. a third of them offer some type of e-filing where documents can be submitted to the court. marin and solano don't use any filing. but they still accept documents by fax machine. in san francisco, documents relating to family issues still need to be filed in person on paper. that includes domestic violence retraining orders and adoption applications. >> what it's putting on display is a problem with a paper-based legal system that was an issue even prior to the pandemic. >> reporter: getting rid of paper is a specialty at salesforce, headquartered in san francisco. >> in this digital age, everyone and everything is connected. >> reporter: the company made $17 billion last year helping governments and businesses move

their work flows into the cloud. >> it is very, very present. >> reporter: she is an executive vice president with salesforce. >> any company that's actually gone through this digital transformation can actually conduct business in our current state. maybe not quite business as usual for any of us, but at least we have the infrastructure in place. >> reporter: we wanted to speak with someone here at san francisco superior court to find out why confidential documents were left unprotected. the court declined and instead sent us a statement saying it has implemented a system so that confidential documents cannot be viewed by the public. so what is that new system? and when did it go into effect? a court spokesperson would not answer those questions, only telling us the court does not discuss its internal operations. so we went back inside the courthouse. remember that table full of documents? it's now empty.

when did they change it? they removed the boxes this week? >> yes. >> reporter: instead of coming up with a way to make the pick-up process more secure, the court had apparently decided to take away everyone's access to all records, even your own. >> you can't drop off of pick up right now. >> reporter: so the next time people can pick up the documents is when? >> may 4th. >> reporter: normal operations are supposed to resume here at the court next month, but that's been delayed before. so how much longer people may have to wait to resolve even the most urgent legal issues? with the investigative unit. >> all right. we're going to shift gears a little bit and tell you to warm up your pipes and get ready to sing today at noon. tony bennett is inviting everyone to sing, i left my heart in san francisco. he tweeted, let's spread the love and strength throughout the bay. he wants folks to go outside and
