it's high pressure that's hoping to bring the warm air. i think this is going to stay for one more day in the forecast, in just about the same spot tomorrow. it's not only going to help to bring that warm air, but keep that rainfall, frustratingly off to the north, and even help us to get a little bit of fog. i think through tomorrow morning, we won't see super-thick fog, but a little bit of patchy fog right near the peninsula and 57, mostly clear for the tri-valley and 53. and also some fog right there in san francisco and 53 degrees, as well. so we start off cool, but by the afternoon, those thermometers will be rising and fast. down in the south bay, i've even put one city up close to 90 degrees. that will be gilroy at 87. east san jose, 86. and cupertino at 82. the east bay, even getting mild yet again for oakland, up to 78 degrees. i'm seeing my warmest temperature right here in danville at 87, concord getting close there at 86. the peninsula, it's going to be mild near the coastline. half moon bay at 69 degrees. then over to redwood city, we're at 79. san francisco will cool off a

few degrees with the westerly wind starting to return and exhort a little bit of that chilly ocean air. i'll put us in the 50s for the marina and outer sunset, but low 70s in the embarcadero and the mission. the north bay will be warm. 84 in santa rosa and mill valley at 79. i see san francisco's extended forecast staying in the 60s, as we head right through the next seven days, with just some subtle changes here and there. inland valley temperatures, we're going to 85 as we hit saturday. also that wind picking up. there's a brand-new fire weather watch that has been issued, so let's get a closer look at that. it will be for the northeast and south bay hills on saturday, where we d 20 to 40 miles per hour. we'll be tracking this as we get close. let's head back to that seven-day forecast, and you rig election day, and then eventually, some 70s returning my wednesday, also thursday. no complaints about the weather. it's been beautiful, but the big question we're getting asked is,

what about the rainfall. there's some promising news that maybe from november the 11th through the 14th, we could see a pattern change that might, just might allow some rainfall. so that got me happy this morning, as i was eating breakfast. but we'll have to see. we're a long ways out from that. >> we need that rain. >> thanks, jeff. >> thanks, jeff. we'll be back in a moment on the update on the breaking news we're following, that shooting and car chase in oakland. stay with us. news.
