6:06 pm
horticulturalist? >> we don't know. it's a serial more culturist, no. >> i believe that we have -- honestly i believe we have a couple of folks that are engaging in this conduct. >> reporter: since may, that conduct includes damage to 4 trees, three entire rose beds and what were thought to be the latest casualties, nine bushes along park presidio. but evidence suggests this assault actually happened six to eight weeks ago. the evidence is key in any police investigation. and this is no different. sometimes, the dead talk. >> we are following up on clues and we do have some clues here. >> i believe that we will be able to develop some information about why those particular roses were hit. >> reporter: as the investigation takes root, the snare tightens. police are beefing up the number of patrols and undercover officers. >> anybody with a cutting device in the park is going to be of great interest to us. >> come and enjoy but don't take and don't cut. it's for the public. it's for everybody to enjoy. >> reporter: and it would seem

6:08 pm
me today because i was looking at the computer models that i was on twitter with people in pacifica, in santa cruz, in ocean beach, and they were telling me when the winds were shifting and we were able to like clockwork forecast when that marine layer was going to penetrate the land mass and cool us down. so boy, twitter can be a very useful weather tool, as well. this is the scene in the city by the bay, san francisco you saw it just now where the high was 74. san jose at 100. today, yes, very dry conditions there, as well. and it looks like at this particular time, our current air temperature still at 100 in san jose, concord today with a high of 106 degrees, now at 99. mill valley at 65. and san francisco in the mid- 60s. again, we do have that marine layer in earnest right there stacked up next to the coast. it will continue to push into the bay in the overnight hours. by tomorrow morning sunrise it will be playing tag with the
6:09 pm
tri-valley and then treating rapidly towards the bay waters but hanging very tight to the coast all day, knocking back the temperatures. so what you can pretty much bank on this evening, clear skies inland, but the low clouds are marching in towards the bay. now, this up here, way up to the north of us, this is going to make a big dent in your weekend forecast. but tonight, rest more comfortably, in the 50s to the low 60s. mountain view at 62 degrees. all right. here's your temperature forecast range for tomorrow. taking a look at the coast, 60 in pacifica. outside number of inland will be 90 degrees. so we are going to see a good 16-degree drop in some neighborhoods, for example, like concord, livermore was at 105 today. forecasting 89 for thursday. a good peek at the forecast. there you have your friday dropping a good five more degrees. saturday this is a trough. it's coming out of the north and i was alluding to unseasonably cool -- in fact 71 the outside number so most
6:10 pm
inland areas in the 60s. there is a very slight chance of a sprinkle or two far, far, far north bay from the trough on sunday. otherwise, we will begin to rebound with the numbers on tuesday and wednesday. live cbs 5 weather camera aboard chopper 5, looking at the city of san francisco, where yesterday it was 98 degrees. today topping off at 74 degrees. tomorrow's high, 66 when typically this time of the year we should be at 69 degrees. and again, all this is gradually sliding in an easterly direction across the bay. it's going to deepen as well a good 1500 to 2,000 feet. so tomorrow morning for your morning commute, i wouldn't be too surprised if you have localized drizzle next to the coast and bay, as well. dana and allen, isn't it beautiful? it's gorgeous. embrace it okay? >> now what? forget miss congeniality. we are going to give you the award for miss social media 2010. >> it's robertacbs5, that's my twitter, okay? but it was a great weather tool today. >> hit her up, folks.
