to develop over the mountains and roll towards us. its the lightning associated that could bring a higher fire danger this weekend. first, let's get through now. 55 with the clouds at half moon bay. rao9 50s through the north bay. 70s inland valleys and east bay down los gatos. mid-50s in monterey. upper 50s to low 60s in watsonville and salinas. sunshine warmer today but just a brief warming trend. tomorrow and into sunday more clouds and a cooling trend. the clouds, some of those could build up strong enough to bring us those isolated storms and the fire threat. for today's forecast we are looking at clouds the coast. mid-50s into san francisco. low to mid-70s oakland and san mateo. mid 80 alternates south bay. mid-80s to low 90s up in the north bay. we have mid to upper 90s in the

east bay valleys. warm sestd ukiah 102 today. monterey bay, morgan hill and gilroy in the mid 90s. santa cruz, low to mid-70s. probably no sunshine around monterey and 65. heading to the giants game, we're still playing the dodgers, cool with a light breeze, 63 degrees dropping down to 58. all of us in the 50s in the overnight hours, other than antioch and san jose. most of the clouds will be confined to the coast. that is where you'll find the drizzle and few will leak into the bayshore. couple areas of low pressure especially this one over the great basin that is one that is going to kick off these storms. with the counterclockwise flow it going to push those storms off the sierra. look how they go through the central valley during the afternoon hours on saturday and ride their way towards us. it will be most likely in the central valley. will less likely around us but close enough especially higher elevations and they lack

moisture. that is why we call it dry lightning. thunderstorm where the rain evaporates but the lightning doesn't. lightning gets up to 50,000 degrees. that is what going to spark the fire. you see all the areas in the red flag warning, the sierra up to the northern sections of the central valley as close as the eastern sections, of alameda and contra costa county and including lake county. you can see how close the red flag warning is that is why i'm concerned with the possibility of us having higher fire danger. and heading to san diego or l.a. upper 70s around l.a. and san diego, near 70-degree temperatures. let's take a look seven-day forecast, most of us don't need to worry about the storms. just want to let you know they e t there but big story will be the cooler conditions. we drop nearly four degrees at the coast and six degrees at the bay and ten degrees inland by sunday with even cooler weather

on monday and more warmer weather for tuesday, wednesday and thursday. >> have a great weekend. >> you know how we rely on our phones foe for so much these days? you can have emotional support. check out the phone that simulates holding your hand and even kissing you. they say their phones hand holding is done with sensors and a strap that goes around your hand and that simulate a squeeze. as for kissing there is a moisture seven sor and it pushes against a membrane on the phone. sensors can even differentiate between a quick puck and wet kiss. >> is there a big demand for this? >> who knows. but how far can technology can go? >> we'll be right back.
