the annual vigil is underway in memphis, tennessee, to celebrate presley's life and career. he died on august 16, 1977. he was just 44 years old. he's believed to have sold more than 1 billion records worldwide. disease hits several major exporters affecting white shrimp in thailand, and vietnam. prices for prawns are up to nearly $6 a pound. analysts expect consumption to drop this year because of the disease and rising prices. here we are as the weekend is beginning. if you have outdoor plans, our chief meteorologist bill martin has help in planning when you want to be inside and maybe stay outside. >> reporter: the weekend is looking good for lots of outside actually. the fog at the coast that's the constant player. there it is behind me. it's about where it was last night. the marine lands a little thicker in some places, not much. temperatures today exactly like they were yesterday. you saw the fog right along the coast there. we come in close. you can see the current numbers.

it's 90 degrees right now as you look in the liver more valley. that's pretty warm. if you look outside towards napa, 83. santa rosa 89 degrees. highs tomorrow a little cooler. these are subtle changes. we're talking about like cooler, warmer, but not the classic big warmup or big cool down. just subtle changes. a few degrees here or there, especially inland. tomorrow a lot like today. sunday it will warm up four or five days. sunday ends up being the warmest date on the bay area weekend. the forecast tomorrow morning, in the bay, in the livermore valley. slightly cooler than today. sunday, less fog, warmer day. again, the differences between 97 degrees in livermore on sunday to maybe 94 degrees tomorrow or 92 degrees tomorrow. so there's the fog right along the coast. there's the weather system. it's going to bother us and cause us problems right into the end of the bay area weekend and early next week.

the real problems start sunday night. tomorrow there it is. it's offshore, more fog. cooler day tomorrow, because of where the low sits. the sun shifts a little bit. starts importing or ejecting warmer air into the region. it's actually going to get warmer on sunday. increased high clouds. tropical moisture will get muggy and feel like san diego and areas around san diego and just areas of moist, humid atmosphere and then the chance of thunderstorms develop sunday night into monday. that's where the fire weather watch came from. it is a little scary when you see a pattern like that, because it's not the pattern we want. we don't want to develop, lots of tropical moisture heading our way triggering thunderstorms this time of the year. it's a long ways off. the mechanisms are in place for that kind of thing to happen. we've got to address it. this weekend mark and rosemary will be in here. come back at 10:00 and we'll have the latest models and that will help. mark and rosemary will come in saturday and sunday and track

it as well. sit fire season and thunderstorms, lightning strikes last thing you need. bay area weekend is pretty good. slight chance for a thunderstorm in there sunday and monday. lots can change between now then. think weekend, going to be nice. sunday is your warmest day on the bay area weekend. almost hot in the inland bay areas. then it starts to cool a little bit. you've got that look on your face. >> it looks like it will last potentially three days, not just in and out one day. >> that's exactly right. if it transpires you can have many lightning strikes. it may not. if it goes three days that's the last thing we need. >> you said even up in the mountains. >> inland bay valleys. >> we'll watch it. >> thanks. joe montana's santa clara motel is on hold. the reason for the delay. the oakland raiders are minutes away from their exhibition game in new orleans. why their defensive coordinator is so optimistic.

joe montana's plan to open a luxury hotel and sports bar across the street from the new 49ers stadium in santa clara has been dealt a setback. they've not been able to reach an agreement with the santa clara on the value of that city- owned land that's needed for their project. montana had hoped to have the hotel open by this time next year. now the goal is to have it open in time for superbowl l in 2016. that will be a nice addition to the property there. a big game, the 49ers are playing, too, but the raiders are starting. >> right here after this newscast. you know, we tell you every year at this time, reason for optimism and we'll go with it again. the raiders showed some promise in their first preseason game basis week against dallas. tonight against new orleans. they could have as many as nine new starters on defense this coming season.

they get to tony romo right there, the cowboys last week. their defensive coordinator, that's him right there. jason tarver has coached stanford, the 49ers, came out of foothill. the last quarter of hast season the raiders were second in overall defense. plenty of positives. >> ten rushing guards, raiders record. ten rushing guards ben's charles and that group, that's pretty darn good. that has not been done before. first shutout in ten years. those are some things we can do. now, to this group that doesn't mean anything, but what it means is we can do it. here's what it's supposed to look like. there would be nothing better than seeing him do what we were able to do in the kansas city game on a consistent level. that is my dream as a kid and that is our dream now. >> no lack of enthusiasm right there. as nor the 49ers it is just preseason but a little extra

juice in kansas city because it is against alex smith, wearing different colors. and the chiefs expect a lot out of him, always a class act. much respect for his time in san francisco and he knows exactly the caliber defense he'll be facing briefly tonight. >> a little different. i'm playing my old team. a lot of the guys that i played with for a while now. but preseason game. it's still, this is just another step. regardless that i used to play there, they're a good defensive unit, it will be a good test for us. >> all right, i'm going to go out on a limb and predict a giants victory tonight. they're in the second inning and they lead 7-0 in miami. pretty good chance they'll be able to hang on. they scored four in the first inning, two coming on one swing of pablo sandoval's bat. they had three more in the

second inning and chad has plenty to work with. 7-0 lead in the second. full highlights of all the activity, including the a's tonight at 10:00. but that's the sporting life right now. >> a lot going on tonight at 10:00. all right. >> as the raiders take on the saints, next. ♪ [ male announcer ] when the a.c. goes out in a heat wave, it's nuccio heating and air conditioning that comes to the rescue. at&t helped nuccio put a complete mobile solution to work. mobile routing to send the closest technician and mobile payments to invoice on the spot. where do you want to take your business? call us. we can show you how at&t solutions can help you do what you do... even better. ♪
