jeff ranieri when does it start to kick in? >> we wanted to start off with our 24 hour temperature change. right now to 24 hours ago. and temperatures are 7 to 9 degrees warmer at this hour compared to yesterday. the bubble of heat is surging in. and san francisco is up the most when it comes to that jump in temperatures. so a sign we don't have on shore winds but drying winds moving into place. national weather service has issued a heat advisory for tuesday also through wednesday for these temperatures ranging 90 to 105 degrees. make sure you drink plenty of water, take the pets indoors and check on the elderly and young ones. they suffer from heat exhaustion quicker. and you may not know you are dehydrated until you are thirsty in some cases. the one cool spot is in the north bay, it is trapped in the interior valleys. but in san francisco you know that this crystal clear at 11:19 it's going to be hot here tomorrow. let's get a look at what we can expect when it comes to the weather forecast any time at all across california

we begin with chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. this is only the beginning. >>> yeah, it certainly is. we already did see some temperatures in the mid 90s for today. one of the hottest, cupertino at 96. palo alto, 93. dublin, 91. south san jose at 90. also, 90 at santa rosa. that 90 good enough for record today. besting the old of 83 set in 2013. what we want to take you to next is the reason why it's going to be so hot. high pressure building offshore each and every day through about the midweek forecast is going to make temperatures go up by about ten degrees for a lot of locations. with that said, an excessive heat warning in effect next 48 hours for about 9 % of the bay. the only spot that's not in the heat warning is the immediate coastline. nonetheless, warm to hot for most of the bay area. temperatures will likely range 1995105 degrees. also increased fire danger with humidities 10% to 20%. coming up, we'll tell you who will have the best chance of reaching 102 degrees in this week's forecast in a few minutes. >> see you sho

gerard moncure has a preview of tonight's giants game and jeff ranieri has the forecast. jodi hernandez is in the heart of the gridlock. >> reporter: there's a lot of sitting around going on in the city tonight. take a look at this long line of traffic along sixth straight at brannen. this is where one of the entrances to southbound 280 has been closed. and you can see that folks are re-routing traffic. and with the giants game-set to start in just about an hour from now, things aren't going to be getting any better. >> it's crazy how it has been hours here. one block. >> i'm heading down just to seventh street, ancan't get there just to make a right on

here is jeff ranieri with our climate forecast. >> thanks so much, janell. they are trying to put this fire out right near interstate 80 and the 680 where those two converged together. we're finding winds out of the west at 12 miles per hour. it's not overly gusty but at times we've seen wind go up as high as 18 miles per hour. we'll see temperatures in the 70s. not the best conditions but not the worst so far this season. we'll take you outside to the sky camera network and the other thing that we're noting, of course, is the wind that we're continuing to see here across the peninsula. west-northwest at 16 miles per hour. we'll take you here to the palo alto region and winds are gusting to 17 miles per hour. there is a lot of haze and pollen getting kicked around in the atmosphere and it's a result of dry wind that we're dealing with across parts of the bay area. so as we get you into the forecast, coastal fog is coming back in the next 24 hours. we have a trough of low pressure and as it drops to the south, it's going to bring back the fog and bring down o

jeff ranieri is tracking the potentially dangerous conditions. >> yeah, high pressure building in as we head throughout the memorial day weekend forecast. that generally will continue to clear skies out and also warm temperatures up. we'll go from the 76 today to 84 by friday. and check out the is jump by sunday, near 90 degrees. also at the coastline, numbers will be going up, too, even with the cooler on shore wind. we p think by sunday, we'll hav 76 degrees. so when it comes to the wind and fire danger, not an extremely gusty event, but we think friday, saturday, sunday, winds will be anywhere from 15 to about 20 miles per hour. and it will be coming out of the west. so you just need to be vigilant if you're out there. doing camping, hiking, barbecuing, with the drought in effect, it will be up to you at home to kind of keep things safe out there. we'll have more on the full memorial weekend coming up in about ten minutes. >>> if you're heading to san francisco or even going through the city this holiday weekend, plan accordingly especially if you're going to one of the giants gam

. >>> it is time to bring in our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. >> we have fog on the coastline. and very thick fog across the golden gate bridge. that's going to impact those commuters the most tomorrow morning. in the sky network, most temperatures in the 50s. everyone being impacted by some sort of cloud cover. 55 right now in the north bay. not only the fog and san francisco. but areas of drizzle. looking good in san jose. currently 57 degrees. but by tomorrow morning, santa clara valley is expecting cloud cover. the forecast issue. we want to bring you the facts. we are going to be stuck with onshore winds the next several days. the cool coastal wind is not going to go anywhere. so, no major hot, beach weather coming our way. at least for the entire coastline. even though it's going to be cool at most of the coastline, the interior valleys are going to get quite a bit of heat. a lot of hot air is going to build in. that's going to steer any storm system off to the north. that will give us warming for the interior valleys and keep the fire threat up. it will be one of those f

. >>> jeff ranieri is here. you have the forecast but no cash for us. >> unfortunately not. i think the hidden cash watches nbc bay area. we mentioned hiding it here would be a good idea. >> he took the hint from you, jeff. >> well, you, too. try to get a look at the san francisco forecast right now. the gusty winds for today. they were up as high as 25 to 30 miles per hour, in san francisco. it has begun to calm down. this is the gustiest location we can find on the map right now. beautiful picture. clear in san francisco. also, check it out. right now, in the south bay, we've got 61 degrees. clear skies across downtown. and limited visibility. this is exactly what you're going to wake up tomorrow across the entire bay area. and the visibility, all the way through the morning hours. no fog to contend with, at least through tomorrow morning. but we're tracking major changes in that forecast. let's go and get to it. we're following a trough of low pressure. troughs of low pressure brings in cooler temperatures and on-shore winds across the bay area. over the next 24 hours, th

. >>> let's turn it over to our chief meteorologist, jeff ranieri with our microclimate forecast. >> it is gusty out here right now. sustained winds at 30 miles an hour at the coastline. in the valleys from 10 to 25 sustained. we'll have more on the winds and when that calms down coming up a little later on. but look at the live radar. a little bit of shower activity in the sacramento valley and snow in lake tahoe that is producing what we think will be accumulating snow tomorrow. this area of low pressure continues to move off to the north and the east, likely accumulating snow through 11:00 on your tuesday that could go as high as 2 to 4 inches and winds that top 45 miles an hour. be prepared for winter conditions. live look at the sky camera network, temperatures in the 50s right now, mainly clear skies in the north bay but we are tracking cloud cover in the bay, nothing major and no rainfall. san francisco currently 56, gusty conditions right up against the coastline but the worst problem is anyone traveling in the san francisco bay again with this wind you can see what it is doi

we begin with chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. so far, hottest day of the year. >> most certainly. some of the hottest weather you'll see here in more than a year. we're updating them moment by moment. so far the hottest temperature today in the south bay. cupertino, 98 degrees. palo alto, 95. and a thing of note about this hour, those dry northerly and slightly out of the east offshore winds heating up the airport in san francisco to 90. also half moon bay at 88 degrees. so let's go ahead and get a look. last time it was this warm in san jose, september 7th of 2013 with 95 degrees. much more impressive for the heat at the airport. last time it was 91 degrees that we could find was october the 1st of 2012. so about 20 to 25 degrees above average for parts of the peninsula and also the coastline. we're still holding on to the heat across parts of san frano.

let's bring in jeff ranieri. >> clouds moving in, tracking instability with height here on those clouds in san francisco. that's a good enough indication that the area of low pressure, this storm system we're tracking, is getting closer. it's already produced 14 lightning strikes the past three hours north of bate area. we think as we head throughout the next 24 hours, as that storm system gets closer and pushes across the bay area there will be slight risk of isolated thunderstorms. if we do get any that do develop we could get a bit of hail. my main concern with that storm as it moves over is the potential here of dry lightning that again could spark wildfires. we'll have details on when that storm moves out and if it could mean any kind of rainfall across the bay coming up. >>> we've been talking about fire season as it gets off to an early start. san francisco showed off a critical tool to ensure they're ready to battle fire in the city. an underground water tank. there are 150 right now but dozens more are being added including 1 at 32nd and irving, another at 37th and iloa street.

when it is bring in our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri with our microclimate forecast. >> it's all about high pressure throughout saturday, sunday. the warming is going to be key to start on saturday's forecast. high pressure starts to build in. you can expect sunny skies, not only inland but right up against the coastline. so with that said, i'm forecasting some of the best weather here across los gatos. chilly at 6:00 a.m., temperatures upper 40s. by 3:00 p.m., climbing into the mid 70s. sunny skies and a nice evening on the way, temperatures in the 60s. if you want to head to the beach, the best beach weather will be on mother's day across santa cruz, temperatures approaching 80. keep in mind the average high this time of year is 72. we're going to talk more about some much hotter weather next week. we'll let you know who could hit 99 in the full forecast. >>> following up on the investigation into the 2010 san bruno pipeline explosion, there's a new wrinkle coming from a federal government watchdog. a report claims the government agency devoted to making sure states oversee pip

let's bring in chief meteorologist jeff ranieri, who is keeping tabs on the best viewing spots and the worst. >> yes, and as we get a look right now we're not going to hold back on this. the best time to view this is 11:00 p.m. tonight to 1:00 a.m. on saturday. known as the giraffe meteor shower or this very long scientific name, you pick whichever one you want to pronounce. you can see this is all going to happen as our planet passes through the debris field from comet 209p/linear. what does it mean for us? the worst view is going to be at the coastline. if you can get away from the fog, your chances of seeing something is going to dramatically improve. where do you want to look? you want to look towards the north. you're going to have the best shot at seeing some of these meteors. avoid the city lights and no telescopes because the meteors are going to be moving by way too fast. telescope, not the best idea. how many, nasa scientists still are not sure if it's going to be a hit or a dud. let's go ahead and get a look at the best locations for viewing. we had pinpointed two of them. t

jeff ranieri, fire season not just reserved for july and august but right now in may. >> with our third year now in a drought it certainly is the case across a lot of california. bone-dry conditions. the fire we were just talking about right there just to the south of carlsbad, what you're going to see here is they're dealing with dry offshore winds. we have a red flag fire warning until 8:00 p.m. that could even be extended with temperatures that will be in the 80s to low 90s. dangerously low humidity in the single digits with wind gusts tonight up to 40 miles per hour. the good news for that fire, as we head throughout tomorrow, wre expecting some calmer winds to eventually move in. 5 to about 15. let's look at some of the top six hottest cities across the bay area. every one of these as you can see reached 100 degrees today, cupertino, gilroy, palo alto, and also in all ma deny valley. but we are beginning to see sign fz changes. we'll take you outside to the sky camera network. it is sunny, it's warm, but it's not as warm as it was this time last night. temperatures are already in t
