please be careful out there. remember don'ts use your high beams. use your regular headlights to get you through the fog. mild temperatures ahead today topping out in the upper 70s. a couple of mid 80s through los gatos. some of the warmer spots fairfield 87. not too bad there. i do want to show you the hour by hour outlook. if you live right up here that' with this marine layer hanging out all the way from ukiah down to half moon bay, we do see some drizzle at times so if you wake up this morning you live around the coastline and you see that on your windshield. that's why. the marine clearing, but mainly inland. just looking out ahead we have a lot of warming. we're going to be seeing that high pressure make its r to the bay area and that's going to bump up our temperatures. we keep that marine layer over the next couple hours and just into the evening hours as well. long-range outlook. we have this big "h" here.

that's the high pressure i was talking about. it's going to start to really heat things up, especially for the inland areas heading into the upcoming weekend. friday, saturday, sunday, get ready for 90s in the forecast as we head in towards the weekend, so sort of keep that in mind as we make plans. good beach day for sure is going to be saturday and sunday. san francisco, temperatures you're also going to notice the warming here. take a look at this, 60s through about thursday and then look what happens heading into friday, saturday, sunday. things bump up into the upper 70s, which is pretty warm for san francisco. i mean when you factor in the ten-degree difference you will be able to feel it. upper 90s, we could be seeing dangerous heat so definitely monitoring that very closely. let's get a check of traffic and where these people are going. it doesn't look like they're going too many places. the drive times are fantastic. usually we start to see a slowing, especially through the tri-valley because of westbound 580, a ton of construction there

collapsing is the afghan commandos. elite special forces trained by american special forces. they're launching around 100 operations a day, shouldering about 90% of the fight. this morning, i spoke to their commander. >> if americans will keep supporting us financially and the way we want our armed troops for the future and our afghan air force, of course, we can fight. >> reporter: there's a troubling development. the united states invaded afghanistan after osama bin lauden and camps in the country and launched 9/11. according to multiple afghan officials, foreign islamic radicals are rushing back to afghanistan so they can witness what they're calling the final victory, the withdrawal of u.s. troops pushed out, they say, by the taliban. the foreign and al qaeda
