that ivy out. >> reporter: in benicia, nbc bay area news. >> anser needs some combat pay for going on that story tonight. if the weather is heating up, that means we'll see more rattlesnakes, maybe this weekend. >> we definitely could. it's really the milder overnight temperatures that signal snakes, which are docold blooded animal to scum come on out. being cold blooded, you can't regulate your body temperature. so think about that. as we take a live look across the east bay, we currently have clear skies and 62 degrees right now. but one of the hottest was in concord. we had our daytime high today of 96 degrees. that makes it the hottest day of 2018. but we've seen this nearly over 30-degree temperature drop tonight all due to the ocean sea breeze coming back. that will bring us 50s here as we head right into tomorrow morning. let's take a look at the fog. it's not extremely thick but just a little hint of that ocean

breeze making a big difference. you can see the fog near point reyes, san francisco, and also right down close to santa cruz. we're seeing the fog, the ocean breeze come back because of a system that's building right now off the coast. i don't see any rainfall from this, but it is going to bring us a dramatic change as we head our way into the forecast. most noticeably cooler temperatures. we'll get some wind in here and also some cloud cover building back into the mix. for tomorrow morning's forecast, some fog near the immediate coastline and 57 degrees. a few clouds in the south bay and 59. for the tri-valley, partly cloudy and 56. more areas of patchy fog and low clouds from san francisco right over the east. temperatures in the 50s. we start off cool. then as we head through the day tomorrow, a huge drop in temperatures. i do not see many spots reaching above 75 degrees tomorrow. so that means in the south bay, after plenty of mid-and upper 80s today, we're only at 67 tomorrow in cupertino and 70 in

san jose. hold on if you live in the east bay. after 90s today, that 96 in concord, only 73 tomorrow in concord. 75 in danville. oakland at 64. back to reality again for the peninsula. 69 in palo alto. 64 here in san mateo. san francisco, typical may weather coming your way. 57 in the outer sunset and 58 for the embarcadero. right through marin, napa and sonoma counties, we have 75 in napa, and a cool and comfortable 69 for mill valley. more changes coming in my extended forecast. i want you to pay attention to thursday. mostly cloudy skies in san francisco and 58. then we'll warm up to 69 by saturday and cooling off early next week. for cities away from the coastline, doesn't get much better than this for our temperatures. 75 tomorrow. back to a much warmer 93 degrees once we hit saturday's forecast. so cooler, a little bit of cloud cover moving on in tomorrow. much more cloud cover thursday. and then hot this weekend. so a lot going on, but still
