6:30 am
smoke in downtown san jose. a small grass fire had been burning over the last two hours near 280 and stevens creek boulevard. we had a beat on it on our camera, and we're not seeing much smoke coming off it anymore. if you're in the south bay, especially toward the eastern edge of the santa clara valley where some of the smoke is pushed, milpitas, more likely noticing some of the smoke, know the fire looks like it is getting under control. as far as the rest of the forecast goes, it is going to be sunshine for everybody by late morning, and we're going to stay relatively cool today. low 80s for the daytime highs inland. it is where you were yesterday, but it is ten degrees cooler than you were for much of last week. i'll show everybody's numbers in the complete forecast in a few minutes. max, back to you. >> see you in a little bit. some areas are getting help with fire season through a bit of rain, but the rain will shift concern from fire to the risk of slides in burn scars like for the cal dor fire.
