highway 17. now let's go to rosemary. >> outside our doors the signs of a warmup going on. the marine layer below 1,000 feet. patchy fog and drizzle along the coastline. inside parts of the bay. it's because of this ridge of high pressure strengthening over our area is really beginning to compress that marine layer. that is why it gets closer to the ground. that is why it looks a lot worse as you get outdoors and make your way to work or school for the kids. we've got a warmer day in store. 90s involved. we are talking for inland communities. mid 90s. today will be the warmest day. we will begin a cool down as early as tomorrow. temperatures will remain on the mild side. even warm as we get into the weekend. just not as hot as today. so the ridge of high pressure coming our way today. for the weekend this system here will be dropping out of the gulf of alaska. that is what will lead to our cool down. at some point the moisture moving around that ridge and this system here are going to come together. and we may see a little bit of

moisture of our own. let me show you what happens as we get into the weekend. starting here tomorrow morning notice the clouds to the south. these are coming up from the south. around that ridge of high pressure. as we get into saturday pretty uneventful. a nice day. mild to warm. we are now into saturday and creeping a it will farther north. notice as we get into. it's going to be just a very slight chance. i do mention it because it is a holiday weekend and we will be tracking it for you. but on a scale from 1-10 i call it a one right now. temperatures in the upper 50s to 60s. afternoon highs for today warmer than yesterday. 74 san francisco. low 90s in concord. low to mid 90s for fairfield and antioch and brentwood. your extended forecast temperatures trend downward. notice not bad. low 70s in the forecast for our

bay area as we get to the holiday weekend. low 80s for the inland cities. back to the desk. coming up on mornings on 2 breaking news coming in from san jose. two police shootings this morning. just a couple miles and a few hours apart. it is a holiday weekend without the bay bridge. and in just 60 minutes we will get a progress report from cal trans.
