relaxing view of the pacific ocean making its way on shore. we will see if i can modulate my voice a little bit to add to the effect as well. it is nice out here, definitely on the cool side. there is that onshore breeze has been affecting temperatures along the coast since yesterday, around the bay and into the inland valleys, it will be across the entire bay area as we head into the easter weekend the let's take a look at what we expect. we will start off with weather headlines, clouds and fog rolling in as we head into the rest of tonight. a fair amount of cloud cover over the coast but it is really not settling down to ground level as fog just yet. near average high temperatures, we will be where we should be in early april, and that will continue next week, close to what is normal for the first week of april. no rain chances heading our way, just a slight chance maybe by the end of next week. let's take a look at the high temperatures from today and they were all over the place.

here in pacifica, 51 degrees, that is not where we still stand at the moment. there is a wind about 15 miles an hour or so to make it feel cooler. the city only made up to 58 degrees, a little bit shorter than where we expected to top out. concord and fairfield made up into the low 80s, so all over the place, the high temperatures, a nice view of the golden gate as the cloud cover and fog will be making its way in over the next several hours. here arare the e current temperatures, 50 degrees on the nose right now in half moon bay, almost 30 degrees warmer in fairfield, 79 degrees there. mostly 60s and 70s around the bay area, pretty good weather if you will be heading out for a walk, jog, just sit outside for a little while. or like the guys here, your line into the water. temperatures tonight will drop down into the 40s, across the board. anywhere from 41 degrees in santa rosa to 40 degrees in antioch.

49 degrees in san francisco will be the warm spot early saturday. we will start off with thatat fog.g. ththe wretcheded areaeas indidi whwhere the fog isis going to b ththickest and it will be prett widespread, kind is going into the inland valleys and taking it's time backing up as we head into the first half of the morning, improving his abilities in the first and then that fog backs up toward the coast where it will be kind of tough to shake. it will be a day like today where gradually it lifts and becomes regular cloud cover and then temperatures tried to warm up but we will be a lot closer to what is normal for this time of year as we look at tomorrow's high temperatures. about 2 to 5 degrees below normal around the bay, very close to average farther inland, san jose at 68, degree above normal. let's zoom in for a closer look and show you all those high temperatures. again, pacifica made up to 51 today. so 55 would be an improvement. upper 60s to around 70 degrees and the santa clara valley, the tri-valley will be in the e mim toto upper 60s to clclose itit oror even above 70 degrgrees, e

of the diablo rarange. 73 in n fairfield d will be on the warmer spots around the bay again, slightly below average temperatures but not too bad for early april, the onshore breeze in the early morning fog will have an act and same thing, they will take a while to dissipate. by the north, for mendocino and lake counties, temperatures will reach up into the mid to upper 60s, not bad for easter saturday. more of the same as we head into the rest of next week, i mentioned the lack of rain chances, that is not entirely true. there is an outside chance of a shower by friday nothing to get excited about. the 20% chance does not warrant any raindrops in the icon in the seven-day forecast. we don't have anything to wash any pollen out of the air. we will be in the medium high to high category as we head into the next several days. alder, ash, and juniper are the top two offenders. there are those near average temperatures very little change to day-to-day as we head into the first full week of april, 70 degrees along the in the portions of the bay area, low to mid 60s around the bay with

mid to upper 50s along the coast which is where i am. we will have another update coming up at 6:00. i knew it would be cooler. i do have hat and gloves sitting offscreen here. and i think you will be seeing me where more and more stuff as we go through 6:00 and 7:00. >> welcome to pacifica. >> watch out, watch out, alex. new at six, a vaccine appointment could be so tough it is like trying to get tickets to an exclusive event. when the supply could finally catch up to demand. a dramatic spike in homicides prompting one bay area police departments to set up an entirely new division. plus, how a neighborhood duck statue landed three people in very hot water. and still ahead here at 5:00, the rising climbs crimes
