to see if that holds together for the middle of the next need to hear wake-up forecast - bay area fog developing 50's will be across the region. then we pop inland to about 80 or so already as you can see by high noon mild and sunny and by 3 o'clock. we'll see high temperatures at about 86 sunny and warm as expected inland. so little cool down and we warm back up again. thanks. thank you, dave. and stay with kron. 4 for continuing coverage of the counter fire uses qr code to get directed to our website. >> and there you'll find interactive evacuation maps the map showing where structures have been damaged or destroyed and were evacuees can find some help. it's all on kron. 4 dot com. still ahead on properties at 9 hurricane ida devastating new orleans on the 16th anniversary of hurricane katrina. >> instruction left behind and where that storm is heading now it's sports. the giants back home tonight. they're hosting the in el centro leading milwaukee brewers
