Reporter data from San Francisco unified School District, oakland unified School District, and San Mateo Union high School District shows greater increases in absences during Distance Learning for some ethnic groups more than others.

Were going to be cooler, but were still going to be well above average today. No help from our marine layer. Its going to come in the form of a weak onshore flow later on today but also this big dome of High Pressure is continuing to slide to the east so theres a look at live doppler 7 where youll notice its fog free. 58 if cupper tee know. It is 76 in the los altos hills. Go up in height and its warm and dry. 61 in santa clara. 56 in Mountain View and 67 in San Francisco. Thats warm obviously for San Francisco. 51 up in nevada.

Six years to the date on friday, the giants their third world series in five years with this pennant winning home run. The giants won the world series of course and ended in a memorable thrilling game against the royals by bum gardeners performance in game seven. Good times indeed. 64 degrees, waking up to, already here in the city. Warm start to the morning. But i think were waking up to around 71 degrees yesterday, lisa, and the city was hotter in sf than it was in san jose, this windy weather pattern. Totally crazy, all due to offshore winds and we are in the 80s, Half Moon Bay yesterday morning. Big changes this morning, what we like to see, but unfortunately still under a red flag warning for us here locally, above a thousand feet but im going to show you what is going on to the east of us. Were under this big dome of High Pressure but look at this, cold air spilling into parts of the northern plains, not only that, look at minneapolis. Theyve got some snow to the north of them, numbers in the 30s and in chicago. Waking up to temperatures in the upper 30s. But we cant get a piece of any of this. And unfortunately our numbers are very, very mild. Were dry. It looks like were going to stay that way for the foreseeable future. It is 67 in San Francisco. So that certainly is warm. 71 in oakland. But we do have those 50s up to the north here in santa rosa, 58 in fremont. Calm winds out by the delta but upper elevation winds, this is where were watching for the next couple of hours with winds anywhere from 30 to 32 miles an hour. On top of our highest peaks. And then you add in that dry air, anywhere from 15 relative humidity in oakland to 19 throughout the Alta Mountain pass and you get the idea this time of year we cant get a break. Fortunately a little bit of a break is on the way with onshore breeze. The heat will ease at the beach and on the bay. More so for sunday, looking at the fog returning to the coast but dont get too excited. Were not going to look at a big, big cooldown, in fact those winds are going to shift again as we get into tuesday and wednesday. Heres a look at where we should be, 70s out there to the upper 70s in livermore and then the orange column indicates the above average temperatures today. Its cooler but still 15 to 18 degrees cooler with those low 90s in napa and san jose. Mid90s yesterday so not a whole lot of cooling there for you. We wouldnt even call it cooling. But in the city were coming out of those low 90s to the low 80s. And as we look at redwood city youre in the low 90s so about five degrees cooler for you over in oakland too, about five to seven degrees cooler. In the south bay today, another warm one in san jose at 92, 95 and morgan hill, 88 in cupertino, upper 80s, mid90s on the peninsula, the weak sea breeze returning. 78 in the sunset. 90s widespread along the coast the past few days. Certainly incredible to see that, even the fair lawn islands were really hot yesterday. 94 in sonoma, 95 santa rosa, so still very warm here with that row relative humidity. 87 in oakland. 88 in union city. Warm day for our east bay but not as warm as its been. Inland, not a whole lot of change, coming down three degrees. Hot temperatures with the numbers in the 90s. The accuweather sevenday forecast, so were looking at that moderate air quality, 70s coast, 80s around the bay, mid90s inland, thats certainly an improvement. Tomorrow, even more widespread cooling for your folks inland, and then as we get towards our monday, thats the coolest day out of the next seven, slowly warming it up again tuesday and wednesday. With that offshore flow returning. It should be on the light side, though, and then looking towards the end of the week, yes, it will be cooler, but no, not getting any rain in here anytime soon. Julian . Thank you, lisa. Halloween might be different this year because of the pan dem ck by plenty of fun and scary things to do. A Haunted House drivethrough in pleasanton is delivering the ultimate halloween treat. How you all doing . Come on down, weve got rats on a stick.

We started in my parents backyard. After our seventh year we had 3,000 people through in two nights and the city shut us down. We either had to quit doing it or go commercial. So we got ourselves a tent and we moved out and the rest is history. Here we are 29 years later, taking up the pirates of emerson haunted drivethrough. Youre driving through the houses, driving through the pirate ships and youre driving through the hill billies house. With the whole pandemic going on and stuff, its a good gig. Im used to the walk through ones and halloween is my favorite time of year. Keep the tradition alive. Why not try a drivethrough one. We have over 45 people on staff this year. Every one of them is enthusiastic about being here. They were all afraid, maybe halloween would be cancelled this year and we didnt let that happen and were not going to let that happen to the bay area. Come on out. Tunnels are really scary. They follow your car, they jump out, its fun. Drive through and enjoy it. I knew it would work. In my head and my heart i knew it would work. Just watching these cars drive through, one after another and watching them enjoy it themselves, its a good feeling. Really happy and were very proud of the event that we put together this where there is a will, there is a way. You can watch more stories like this one on the new localish network.
