beginning of repairs to potholes in the city. >> he already committed nearly $90 million tort street repaving and repairs. >> kpix 5's anne makovec is live in the city's richard district with the details. >> reporter: apparently, mayor ed lee is actually going to be out here in the richmond helping repair a pothole himself this morning. it is part of an effort to ease the bumpy ride we have all experienced driving not only here in san francisco but all around the bay area so the city is now committing that $90 million over two years to pothole repairs, repaving streets, striping and other safety improvements. it's all based on what is called the pavement condition index score. so san francisco's city streets have been rated as fair but distressed in that score. and they apparently need a combination of rehabilitation
5:14 am
and preventative maintenance. and that's really sort of key here because you see the city sort of doing a, you know, bit by bit repair short term repair but apparently they really need to get into the underground layers according to the city maintenance department. so! that is what they will be doing here in the richmond this morning. so if you want to see mayor ed lee get down and dirty, it is happening here along 27th street in the richmond.

5:16 am
crane of the "salesforce tower." this is lovely. there you see the "salesforce tower" on its rise towards the highest skyscraper in the bay area. there you see that finger of fog trying to work into the bay area. you can see a little sunrise towards the east. that's gorgeous. 50 in santa rosa to 57 in oakland. 52 in livermore. with the clear sky, we have a bit of a breeze this morning. southwest at 13 in oakland. this is an onshore push in san francisco. it's westerly at 9. we do currently have a south wind at 10 in consumer report and also 5 in livermore. 16 miles an hour in fairfield. john miller is our weather watcher in santa rosa this morning. 50 degrees there. clear skies. john you look like you're ready for the weekend. so let's get to it! we have your weekend forecast. first off satellite-radar suggests there's that swath of cloudiness trying to inch its way up the san mateo coast. you saw that little hint of
5:17 am
stratus into the bay this morning. we are under the influence of high pressure. it minimizes that onshore push but we still have a shallow deck stacked up next to the coast. so here's your futurecast at 1 p.m. you still have that swath playing tag with the immediate seashore. otherwise it kind of burns off and then we see it push back onshore in the overnight hours. we wake up with gray skies tomorrow morning and it backs off rapidly but hangs tight to right around the half moon bay, daly city and colma areas. and then overnight saturday night we begin to see it mix out due to a trough to the north of the bay area. the only thing that trough would do for us on sunday is bring our temperatures down ever so gently. but it will mix out that marine layer sooner. 83 state capital today. currently it's 59 degrees. we do currently have 32 degrees in truckee, 37 in tahoe going up to 72 degrees today. maintaining that temperature saturday going down on sunday due to that trough. 63 degrees in throughout monterey bay with the clearing
