11:21 pm
start to drop back off once we hit next monday. for inland valleys i have you at 76 tomorrow. notice the weekend up to 87 saturday and 88 on sunday. so, yes, hotter, but i still think we can handle this just fine. really, though, these morning-time temperatures, comfortable weather might have you thinking about fall. and i wanted to give you a look at the fall foliage and where things are beginning to turn. notice yosemite, we have some patchy to near peak colors beginning on those leaves. so if you're planning a road trip, that's where you want to head. otherwise most of california is just starting to begin to change. i don't know about you, jess. this weather has got me all wrapped up into fall. i did the pumpkin spice latte as i mentioned earlier. >> ooh, yummy. i started to have pumpkin coffee in the morning. i'm ready. >> yes, me, too. >> time to get some pumpkin. thank you, jeff. >> sure. >> coming up, a new alert about a popular heart medication will no longer be sold at some big
