70s by the afternoon. the latest, the stormy weather moved eastward and that's where it's going to stay. we are going to be nice and dry throughout the weekend as high pressure builds in overhead so the temperatures will start to warm up very nicely outside. let's plan on a lot of those numbers in many of the valleys to warm up very nicely. around the state we're looking good. you will see high pressure dominating our weather great time to travel to tahoe if you want to enjoy some of the new snow. in the meantime, temperatures warming up a lot of 60s around the bay some 70s in the valleys. i think in the east bay you will see warmer temperatures moving well into the 70s. and then really this warming trend will likely continue right into the weekend and maybe the first part of the next week. as you get inside the bay those temperatures a little bit cooler but not bad. mostly sunny skies all day long. then gorgeous weather towards the weekend. high pressure will build in overhead like will go going to see some of those temperatures moving up into the low 80s in

the warmest spots in the interior valleys but here's one spooky thing coming our way. there's a chance that we could see some showers, wouldn't you know it, for halloween. i hope that doesn't happen. but that could very well happen. but you don't want to worry about that, come to boo at the zoo and have the kids come out with a costume and it should be a great time. we'll see if we can wake up some of these guys. back to you. >> i know, that alligator has the right idea. that's where we should be this morning. all right. thanks. let's go out live to the dublin interchange. this is what it looks like, quiet commute. i notice these mornings after these big giants wins it takes a while for things to get going. so traffic is lighter than typical. so far, so good only about a 1 or 15-minute drive time coming through the altamont pass. to the next map all green so far in our sensors. maybe a little bit of slowing in the eastbound lanes through livermore not much. it looks good all the way towards the dublin interchange. elsewhere a live look at the nimitz.
