so along the shoreline, the coast if you're driving in, you'll need the wipers.tures are in the 50s. san francisco 58, oakland, 58 menlo park are low 50s santa rosa. cloudy concord and livermore with 57 san jose. so our highlights then this morning, areas of low clouds, mist and drizzle. we will see a little sunshine but that will be in the afternoon. the winds will be up. much warmer conditions beginning tomorrow when you see the clouds peel back throughout the later morning hours. then we're really going to see the fog disappear for a couple days. in fact, looks pretty warm throughout early part of the week. here's a glimpse of what you'll expect the next couple days. temperatures today in the low 60s but by tomorrow in san francisco 3 degrees warmer and look at that. by monday we're up to the mid-70s. livermore, mid-70s today for your high, well below average. but 80 tomorrow. you're losing about 5, 6 degrees today but look what happens on monday. we'll see some 90s returning to the north bay valleys santa rosa, livermore, 94 for monday. but today check out th

you can see the fog thing out in the distance toward san francisco near the immediate shoreline. g increasing tonight, pretty much identical forecast for wednesday but temperatures will be warming up by the weekend. for fremont tomorrow, starting off with the cloud cover at 7:00, 54 degrees, 12:00 64, 3:00 in the lower 70s. this has been the persistent weather pattern. it sticks around tomorrow and we'll call it cool to mild and we'll have the breezy on-shore winds approaching 20 miles an hour, but it will gradually be on the move by thursday, friday and the weekend. and we are talking about the warming trend, still that fog near the shoreline for the coast, minor warming and the inland areas, upper 80s to 90 degrees. the one trade off with this, fire danger will be on the increase, especially sunday and monday of next week. here we go for tomorrow morning. areas of fogs and drizzle, temperatures in the low to mid-50s. the range of 58 to 80 degrees. the warmest locations inland, 80 degrees. half moon bay in the upper 50s. here's a look ahead at your 5-day forecast. notice the tren

today, look, the fog does retreat to the shoreline so clouds around half moon bay. t should be a sunny and pleasant afternoon with gusty winds at our coastline but temperatures will be coming up towards the 70s and upper 70s today. barely hit 70 yesterday in some of our valleys. it was 69 livermore and we will still see some cooler numbers at our beaches, around ocean beach today. so the culprit was this area of low pressure that continues to lift to the north and east providing a threat of showers. lower elevation rain, higher elevation snow in the mountains, 8500 feet to about 9,000 feet. so some rough conditions in the mountains as folks are camping there. you don't expect that for the end of august. but as this lifts out and high pressure builds behind it, the breezy winds will follow suit again today. so spending any time at the coast you'll notice that. and look at the mid-50s for highs in lake tahoe. 68 yosemite so very cold here. overnight lows with that strong radiationnal cooling will be in the 20s and 30s. 65 in monterey. cool still there and only 79 in sa

then into the afternoon hours that cloud bank pulls back to near the shoreline, left over patches near san francisco. there is the eventual temperature range from 60 to 90 degrees, so no more triple dim its warmest locations around the 90 degree mark, santa rosa 79, fremont 79, san jose down from 100 degrees yesterday, only into the lower 80s this afternoon. here is a look ahead. your five-day-forecast temperatures continue to cool off for friday. a bit of a breeze into the weekend. extra clouds on sunday. we warm things back up into monday of next week, claudine and dave. >> 7:10. still to come on mornings on 2. we are going to go live to washington, d.c. for the latest on increased violence in iraq, the number of militant attacks are going up as the number of u.s. troops in that country go down. >> also two men have been arrested. we will tell you what they did to a passing sheriff's helicopter that got them into so much trouble. >> plus, could recalled eggs be headed pack on the market? a disturbing report says yes but we will tell you why health officials say you should not worry.

we are looking at the clouds and mist at the shoreline but elsewhere, depending on the sunshine, evenballpark, a little warming. here a picture that the fog has burned through the delta on the way through concord, finally burning back to the coast. i think san francisco will be split with some of the city enjoying sunshine. here is a look at some of the highs. mid-60s in oakland. definitely coming in seven degrees shy of the average which is most significant readings of cooler than normal weather will be redwood city and san jose where we should see mid-80s. here the culprit, an area of low pressure bringing shower to the sacramento valley. it moves through california. one more day of the chilly weather and then a bump as the area of low pressure slides east and we have a ridge of high pressure warming things up monday and tuesday. monterey, at 63. 88 in sacramento. a nice respite there, as the low passes through the mountains, dry windy weather, could have some fire concerns here by tuesday. notice los angeles is warming up, but things in the south bay pretty much the same. 71 in san

bay mud, which is present close to the shoreline, and the green area, the crown has a very long period. when the earthquake comes, there is a link of time that it takes the ground to go from one, slosh back and forth, measured in seconds. the deeper the bay mud deposits, the greater the length of time it takes for the motion to go one direction and back. so as you approach soft sites, loose sand sites, bay mud sites, the period of the site is long. if you come along and build a tall building, and the ground is going like this, we know that tall buildings, the taller the building, the longer the period, the longer the time it takes to go from one side and back. iand the rule of thumb, every story that you add, it adds a 10th of a second to the period. if you have a 40 story building, you have a building that takes four seconds to go from one side to the other and back. now, that for second building is sitting on 100 feet of bay mud that also has a period of four seconds. the combination of those and harmony, what happens is they amplify the motion and the building will collapse. example

in addition, the epa is monitoring surface water samples near the shoreline. my colleague from the epa can discuss that. to ensure the safety of fishermen and consumers, we prohibited recreational fishing in certain areas of the gulf of mexico because of the spill. now that the wellhead is capped, scientists are going back into the spill area and taking seafood samples to determine which areas are safe for fishing. areas only reopened to fishing and only after the seafood passes rigorous testing. every seafood sample has passed chemical testing for contamination of oil dispersant. no unsafe levels of contamination have been found. we began reopening portions of the closed areas. thank you for allowing me to testify today. i am happy to answer any questions that you might have. >> thank you very much. our next witness is mr. donald kramer. he is the deputy director of the office of crude safety at the u.s. food and drug administration, where he is responsible for the administration of the fda seafood policy. he has been with the fda since 1977. you may proceed.
