wind today. low clouds and sunny, breezy, upper 70s, low 80s inland. really a cool pattern. but with the low clouds will burn off, 65 san francisco is still below average, 68 in oakland, should be 74, 78 in santa ariza, 82 your record, mountain view 71, and san jose 74, should be 84. so even with sunshine we're running well below average. the big news though considering the mild temperatures at the surface are the much cooler temperatures in the higher elevations. mount tam is 11 degrees cooler than they were at this time yesterday. that's a big drop. that system in the north is bringing in cool side. 50s to 58 at pleasanton, 55 in the san an tom, a tahoe is here and calm and yet 60 degrees. 50 in the valley, 50s and 60s, now low 70s down in southern california.

the water temperatures, sea surface temperatures have warmed up a little bit, mid-to upper 50s instead of the low 40s and 50s. that keeps us from warming up too much. there's too much in the way of low pressure coming in, bumping that high up. a really strong system dives into the pacific northwest, i think it will be strong enough to break up the low clouds and fog, but sunny breezy and windy as we head towards the weeksen. today the clouds give way to sunshine, 60s, 70s, or upper 70s or low 80s, san jose 74, a little warmer tomorrow, we'll see that breeze kick in on the weekend for cool erin land temps. >> all right. >> steve: thank you. we have developing news. coming from india, 18 children have just been killed after a school building collapsed. now that collapse is blamed on heavy rains and mudslides in india. officials think there may be at least 10 children and two teachers still buried in the rubble. 8 children have been rescued so

highest level, now you're gonna go back to the lower level, but i think that everybody has been -- is readjusting to the fact that there are no guarantees or certainties under chief gascone. >> both men have more than 20 years experience with the police department. chief gascone has been making changes within the department for the past couple of months. so far, the chief is not commenting on those demotions. alameda's mayor beverly johnson expects the city manager to conduct an investigation. this is after the fire chief, david cap letter, was caught on camera filling up his personal cars at the city's free gas pump. some firefighters took the pictures over the weekend showing cap letter filling up his bmw convertible and his pickup truck and then they sent the photos to the mayor. now cap letter says he doesn't drive a city vehicle and he is entitled to the free gasoline under an agreement he made with the former city manager when he became the fire chief in 2007.
