The berkeley fire chief is also urging residents to practice in advance how to evacuate in the event of a major fire. And so lets chat with the meteorologist john travel now talk more about the whether going are we looking at any sort of a high fire danger on the horizon into the weekend as temperatures begin to rise your fire danger will increase. Its not looking like an especially bad weekend for fire danger those no red flag warnings or anything like that we did see that last week remember when we had those 90s avoiding 90s this time are. So we can be glad for that fire danger goes and just as far as Comfort Level goes too because. Like those 90s 80s are a lot better, i feel like this is your step outside this morning in San Francisco under some pretty clear skies over all you do have a few low clouds filtering in such as you can see over san jose really nice looking morning though a light jacket kind of mourning and then this is out in pleasanton towards the tri valley skies really nice and clear out there as the sky begins to light up skies are going to stay mostly sunny throughout much of the day today at times more on the partly cloudy side but youre still going to have sunshine mixed in there, Cool Temperatures still settling into the bay you remember that cold front passing through yesterday was pretty noticeable especially closer to the coast for those of us stepping outside this afternoon. Youre going to notice temperatures pretty similar to what they were yesterday afternoon too. So repeat of yesterdays conditions before we do eventually warm up into the weekend as james and i were just talking about boosting back into the 80s for inland areas which does mean fire danger will be can begin again become more of a thing as a drier air mass moves in and temperatures do warm up overall though your forecast is pretty seasonable them pretty pleasant really today on the cooler side of things but after 90s this past weekend got a welcome break. Some 70s, some 60s i should say in San Francisco as well as on the peninsula and then were talking 70s elsewhere in the bay like redwood city and san carlos, each out 73 77 in san jose and los gatos and then the east bay ranging from the 60s to the 70s. Certainly cooler than this weekend was even cooler than we were to start the week when temperatures were in the 80s for some of these spots so no one today at 72. Valais however cool 71 and then some 60s as you would expect out a little closer to the coast. So today in the 70s for inland spots tomorrow even holding on to some 70s as well but temperatures are climbing again as soon as friday by the time we work into saturday and sunday, its back to the low 80s inland with 60s and 70s mixed in right alongside the bay monday tuesday and wednesday of next week even warmer yet but still very close to normal for this time of year. Robin. Lets head over to the Richmond Center fell bridge. You want to check in on west bound 5. 80 we had a crash, its gone. Now theres just a little bit of a back up in the cash lanes on the lefthand side, but thats minor its not even back to castro yet so filling in but not bad fast track lanes look really good. You are at 8 minutes right on time a very quick by the way to make it from the toll plaza out to highway one oh one protecting the bay bridge 80 wesson to San Francisco which is our heaviest bridge right now as usual.
