7:16 pm
evening we will see the highest values around four or five. that's halfway up the fire danger indscale. this was worse last week with triple-digit temperatures. it is going to continue warming up wednesday, 90 degrees in san jose wednesday. 10 degree drop from wednesday to thursday, below-average temperatures friday and saturday with the onshore breeze adding a little bit of humidity to the sphere so reduce the fire threat for a couple of days and the temperatures warm up. we climb up the other side of the temperature roller coaster sunday and monday. looking nice for father's day. a couple of december below normal. inland around 80 degrees. that's pretty much ideal for any outdoor plans you have in the works for father's day. an update on the forecast coming up at 11:00. >> rather father's day. we remind people about mother's day. >> now is the time to get the cards, get your little gifts or whatever. that's right, make your plans.
