looking at smartphone data to track how many people are hitting the road for memorial day. so let's find out what the weather has in store for memorial day as we take a live look outside at the golden gate bridge facing towards the north bay. and i'm sure that west marine coast is going to be pretty tempting this weekend. so i think you're going to have to stay a little bit closer to home but working from home right now is our chief meteorologist lawrence karnow hot is it going that this weekend. >>it's going to really heat up specially on memorial day i think that's what we really see those temperatures jumping may be in the upper 90's by memorial day. so i think that's going to test a lot of folks around the bay area they're going to be looking for some place to keep cool that will be just the beginning of the heat wave and there were talks or triple dit heat this next week. outside right now pretty comfortable we've got 72 degrees and san jose 74 beautiful friday evening in livermore 58 cooling down but some sunshine and civic a 67 degrees very nice in the san

francisco 72 in the bottle 70 degrees in petaluma and 76 in santa rosa, but you can see that ridge building in now as that ridge settles in overhead it is going to really start to strengthen the next couple days more of a northerly component to the wind developing as we head to the next few days and that is going to crank the temperatures up even near the coast, a little breezy out there right now to 70 miles per hour in san jose, 24 deaths of 11 and the san francisco 15 and pacific and 14 miles per hour in benicia overnight tonight going to keep those skies, mostly clear all the way to the coast line tomorrow, sunny skies to start warmer temperatures by the afternoon. then we really crank up the heat this next week in fact i wanted to show you this an excessive heat watch now posted by the national weather service does not beginning until monday of next week but continuing all the way through thursday that we're going to be baking in those hot temperatures some triple digit heat likely settling in for the better part of next week so that ridge of high pressure building over head that will start to warm up the weekend should be a very nice

beginning of your weekend with those temperatures soaring in the 80's in many spots, inland tomorrow, even around the bay will find lots of sunshine and 70's navy's long the coastline still very comfortable generally in the 60's next, rick tho justine everything changes that high pressure really kind of gets its grip on the bay area and that will likely send those temperatures very uncomfortably and under this pandemic may be dangerously in the 90's and the triple digits at live forecast back to you. >>thank you lawrence, this just in to the kron 4 news room sonoma county is amending its shelter in place order and will allow more businesses to reopen starting tomorrow, restaurants and food facilities can open for outdoor dining only and this is the big one winery's tasting rooms, bars and pubs may offer curbside pickup delivery and outdoor meals summer day camps and other recreational programs can provide child care and supervision of children and ceremonies, including
