out from the mark hopkins hotel, clear sky and fog showing up, temperatures in the low to mid-50s across the board, not a lot of variation after topping out close to normal high temperatures today, exactly what we have again tomorrow. that fog will be a factor as we start the day. let's track that on our floor map and wind the clock forward to 8:00 tomorrow morning, about 35 minutes from within the sun comes up, widespread fog and low cloud cover. it will break up pretty quickly for most inland parts of the bay area, the compensation might be the north bay where it might be a bit more stubborn. temperatures will warm up from a fairly normal start, mostly 30s inland in the north bay and east of the oakland hills, mostly 40s around the coast and along the bay and in the santa clara valley except morgan hill where temperatures dip down to the upper 30s. high temperatures tomorrow, low 60s in san jose,

everybody within 2 or 3 degrees on either side of average for this time of year, 60 or just above east of the oakland hills, mostly 50 around the bay, 60 around fremont and low to mid-50s along the coast, upper 50s and low 60s inland. heading farther north in the north bay, the more likely the fog breaks up a little bit faster and allows temperatures to warm up to the 60s. let's look at the air quality forecast for tomorrow which today it wasn't great. we were in the moderate category. that's about where we'll be again tomorrow, mostly yellow dots on the air quality map instead of orange or red. this is going to improve a little bit late in the day monday as offshore winds pick up. that will stir the atmosphere around, help disperse some of the low level haze. what we need is rain. that's not going to happen anytime soon. this is the rain chart for next week. there are hints that maybe the atmosphere will try to send

some moisture towards us by next weekend. those are just hints at this point. i would not get my hopes up for any significant rain event headed our way. let's look at the seven-day forecast in the meantime. the coast will be in the mid-50s the next couple days and then back up to or even above 60 degrees for several consecutive days with a mix of clouds and sunshine giving way to more sun with a couple days of stronger offshore winds. that's going to be thursday of next week, but before that martin luther king holiday monday, some breezy conditions. i don't think we'll get a wind advisory, but it's going to be a bigger concern for southern california. time for a check of what's ahead at 6:00, we switch over to juliette goodrich. >> thanks so much. we'll be talking about the federal corruption charges against former oakland mayor sheng thao, including from a former staffer who sounded the alarm months ago. she tells our da lin why she's feeling vindicated. plus frustration and
