130 and this track is good, continuing out to see like this as you can see and what is amazing about this is is -- it still stays a hurricane all the way out to monday and even i think tuesday. it stays a hurricane up to those high latitudes and out there, another called current, labrador current that comes out of basically the arctic ocean, so that storm system is really a hurricane, holding together nicely. it has tenacity to it that does not want to give up but it is out to see and that is good news. some clouds and precipitation that happened from yesterday, bobo that continues to spin around in our backyard, drove the lighting that you saw a little bit out there but not much in terms of rain, we could use more of that but we are left with fairly dry air in the wake of everything going on, cooler air behind it. a little bit of a breeze to make note of. going forward in this forecast,

it will be one of a good nice temperatures for us and not as much of the intrusion ed -- of the wind. 50s on the board universally accept of into napa, 60, 65%, and the futurecast, let you know how the numbers come out, different than yesterday. out to about noon and some areas of the north bay and some of the bay shoreline hold onto the 60s. nice warm-up by the afternoon, and you can see the yellows covering everybody. not as much green along the coast so a decent day for the beaches, not so windy. all of that green returns by 9 pm. but we do not see the chilly 50s as much but some valleys will start to make its reappearance again. back to somewhat seasonality to some degree. 70s on the board you can see for the east bay shoreline, oakland 78, berkeley 72, 74 richmond and alameda -- they are to the far east valley, you will see, 81 perhaps -- that is a bit of a stretch and everybody pretty much in the upper 70s territory, expect more of the same in this forecast, we have kind of

oscillating temperatures for the next several days, clouds, and dell. then we see by next weekend, the big-time warm-up happening, lower to mid 90s approach of the inlet valve is, beach is not bad. upper 60s and maybe lower 70s. heating up for the blue angels. fleet week does start to mark, plenty of ways to enjoy the event and that includes watching the blue angels right here on kron4 next saturday, and they shall is the best spot to take in the sights and sounds of fleet week. >> reporter: miles of san francisco coastline, prime locations for people to take in the sights and sounds when the blue angels come to town and if you can see the rock, you are in a good spot, center stage for the show as the airspace around alcatraz. fisherman's wharf and pier 39, good places, especially near the water. unique viewing experience at the height street., five dollars you can watch from aborted these historic ships, pretty cool. get here early because the ships fill up fast.

hit him at home. so we asked him about his thoughts as the entire country asks, why is this happening in america yet again? and what will stop it? can you talk to me about your stance on the fact that you feel like gun control is not a potential answer? >> i understand your interest in that and i can appreciate that you have an interest in my position but like i have said a number of times this morning, we are focusing on getting this investigation completed. >> reporter: he did talk to us a bit about a controversial post on his facebook page that is also getting attention now. long before the encore college -- he reposted a viral video and that video delves into conspiracy theories involving the sandy hook shooting. it goes as far as to question weather some of the grieving parents were crisis actors. he writes, this makes me wonder who we can trust anymore and goes on to say, watch, listen,

besides the violating city ordinance it could have a negative impact on the neighborhoods by making street parking more difficult and that is a good point. i drove around san bruno and like most communities in the bay area, the neighborhood streets are packed, barely any street parking so if people rent out the driveway, that puts their car in the street and could make it more crowded. in linda's case, she happens to have a two our driveway and only one person a car and she only rents out one space so she is not impacting the neighbors in that way. the cofounder -- i asked him his take on this battle brewing between the city and residents. >> looking into what the zoning laws are for san bruno and in the meantime, we are fully committed to working with the city of san bruno to come up with something that works for everybody. there are a lot of people that are using this income for their mortgages, for their kids tuition and these are real people. >> reporter: it with the tech trend, gabe slate. if you would like to connect, you can add him on facebook, follow him on twitter or email him.
