11:18 pm
straight days. that is ridiculous even for phoenix. temperatures 110 to 115 for much of california, and the heat has been unrelenting in those parts of the state. we get a break from it every once in a while. we have a break from the poor air quality, not that bad today, but tomorrow we could dip into the unhealthy for sensitive group range. our fire danger index at that today was lower than halfway up. you might not think that would be the case with hot temperatures and dry semiation, -- dry vegetation, but we don't have the wind. it won't be an off the charts threat, and the threat should back off a little more as temperatures begin to back down starting sunday. right now looking

11:20 pm
temperatures wednesday and thursdays. that means low 80s for the north bay and upper 70s in san jose for a couple of days. that's a nice break in hate july. hot weather tomorrow, and then plenty of clouds through next week. all right, thank you, paul. the u.s. women's national team is on their quest for a third straight title. it's officially underway. and a former stanford cardinal provided entertainment in the first match. and
