6:48 pm
that means hot across the interior, we will look for mid to upper 80s to prevail under mostly sunny skies and some cloud cover in the morning and it will clear out early, though and bayside, we will look for mid to upper 70s in the east bay, and on the peninsula and back to the beach. it looks like mid to upper 60s should prevail for the warmer locations as the stratus quo weather pattern continues for tomorrow. with temperatures up a degree or two. nothing dramatic. more of a warmup next weekend. and first we have a weak disturbance out here, bringing cooler air in the region for the beginning of the week. it will continue to maintain the fog bank which will give way to afternoon sun. but overall temperatures will drop through about midweek before we start to warm things back up. as tomorrow's temperatures should look pretty close to, this as we look for a couple of degrees warmer inland. mid to upper 80s there. upper 70s again in the east bay. back to the water, it looks like mid to lowselves and the mid-60s -- low 70s and the mid 60s will prevail at the peninsula. at the beach, a little cooler. where the fog will continue to
6:49 pm
linger even through tomorrow afternoon. here you see that cooldown into the beginning of the week. as the weak disturbance passes to our north. and then following that, through the end of the week, and into the weekend, we should head back to near normal, which puts us into the mid to low 90s. look for a warmup due, come next weekend. until then, low clouds, late night and early morning hours. right now, we will head back and check in on sports with kim. >> all right, thanks, jim. the a's try to put an end to the 11-game losing streak against the yankees. and casey kaine goes for quite a ride. the latest on his condition, next in sports. ,, ,,,,,,
