a look at what's happening this weekend here in the bay area and across the country. of course, that heat continues to bake parts of the southwest, but with this system to the pacific northwest of us, we are just cruising in these comfortable conditions. of course, we have fog near san francisco, but that should mix out as the evening goes on. plenty to do around the bay area. where i think maybe the wind will help this afternoon, feel the rise quicker, faster, santa clara county fair runs through 1:00 late, until 11:00 and through august 6th. even if you didn't get tickets to taylor swift, plenty to do and enjoy out there as the temperatures near the 80 degrees and plenty of sunshine. a few minutes away. 66 night market for all of you going on in pleasanton, a little warmer there. still nothing we can't handle. maybe a big glags of lemonade will help cool you off. of course it will get windy and gusty out there tonight for red sox at oracle park. bring a jacket and those blankets, because temperatures will cool down very quickly into the afternoon.

what can we expect the rest of us? looking at comfortable temperatures through wine country. concord and over on into fairfield could get into those upper 80s. some low 90s. otherwise staying comfortable throughout the bay area. looking at 77 in sans cruz and lope 90s continue into the south county. by tomorrow, might feel the temperatures bump up a few degrees, but no triple-digit heat. the temperatures short-lived going with 92 in concord. 82 san jose and los 90s through south county. a little warmer out there in san francisco as we see most of those clouds pushing on through what is the south county, because of the way that this monsoon moisture is coming in from parts of the south. so aside from the clouds it will bring up our breeze a little bit out of the southwest, but if your plans take you through the sierra. yosemite, the lakes, maybe up into south lake tahoe, seeing moisture push through. rain. will be brief, but if there is

enough convection, could turn into thunderstorm activity over the next couple days. wrapping up the weekend, sunday 8:00 p.m. rolls around, seeing more cloud cover even continuing on for monday cooling down these temperatures as we go on into the next couple of days. so watch what happens in inland valleys. yes, a warm weekend lingering with heat until monday, then cooler dropping as much as ten degrees going into the first couple of days of august and, of course, san francisco stays cool and cloudy. >> this weekend, good time to get out a barbecue. >> yeah. maybe even start shopping for back-to-school supplies. >> already here. can you believe it? >> already started in some districts. >> thanks. coming up on "today in the bay," less than a year away from summer olympics games and we shine the spotlight on a bay area gymnastics, aware of what it takes to send athletes to the international stage. what he calls the secret to his success.
