san francisco in the 60s. if we go to 3:00, we are still in the 80s in livermore but tracy is at 93. san francisco in the low 70s. and as i fast-forward the timeline to give you a sneak peek of the weekend as high pressure builds, i talked about it getting hotter. look at 5:00. tracy nearing the triple digits. mid to upper 80s in san jose. morgan hill in the 90s and 90s the inland areas. i'll take you through the timing and what to expect in a few minutes. this morning there is slight relief for those trying to make it in the bay. the average price of gas in california dropping below six dollars a gallon. bob redell joins us from dublin. prices are continuing to fall. >> reporter: and one analyst believes they will continue to fall. as you can see behind me, we are finally allowed six dollars

for a gallon of gas for the lowest octane. barely, but still there. look at the overnight numbers from aaa. san jose and oakland are both averaging around $5.96 for a gallon. san francisco is right at six dollars. look at the second number to the right. that is the price from a month ago and you can see in the past 30 days gas has dropped $0.50 to $0.60 per gallon. a petroleum analyst with gasbuddy.com predicts gas could fall another $0.55 to $0.85 in the weeks ahead. these high prices are one reason why inflation has skyrocketed in the united states , 9.1% compared to a year ago. that's the highest in 40 years. >> on this next inflation report in august we will see that reflection. as far as gas prices, what are

they saying is behind the drop? >> reporter: part of the reason for the drop in prices is the price of oil is down over fears of the global economic slowdown. so if there is a slowdown, fewer people are buying and selling. fewer goods need to be transported and you will have lower demand for oil which will lead to lower prices. also oil production has improved worldwide which has led to a greater supply and pushed down the price of a barrel. >> tough economic times ahead but at least we have lower gas prices. coming up en today in the bay, we will track cheap gas prices at 5:38. president biden is in the middle east but that's not the only focus as gas.
