All right. Lets get you a final check of your 4 zone forecast this hour. Taking a live look at sfo. We seem to be a little bit of cloud and fog. This afternoon. Kylo whats going on across the country . Yes, yeah. Well, you know, we still have quite a bit of heat across the country, as you can see, pretty active here in the southeast. Reseal those oranges and kind of hot pink watches and warnings popping up and then you can see along the west coast all the way up to Washington State all the way down to the very southern reaches of california where weve got some of that heat up. Now. Were lucky we dont have this directly in the bay area, but certainly you can see a good portion of Northern California and then also the central part of the state is definitely under those heat advisories and excessive heat warnings. Now, we also have just a little bit of a sprinkle kind of rolling across here and it is probably just a sprinkle for most some of this not even really hitting the ground, but that is from tropical moisture that has rolled in. Meanwhile, were warming 79 degrees in san jose, but already at 91 in dublin, the inner east bay set to be very hot today, 90 in fairfield. 66 in downtown San Francisco, santa rosa sitting at a pretty mild 77 degrees. But these are the highs today. So inner east bay has the potential for hitting that triple digit mark. We will be cooler in the north bay. You can see some low 90s there and down in the south bay as well. Probably some upper 80s for spots like san jose. And then 70s around the bay with some 60s out to at the coast. So thats kind of the picture, temperaturewise, that that heat is going to confined to the inner east bay as far as the triple digit heat concerned. But here is future cast taking you tonight. We get some nice clearing, but then notice as we go over the next few days, we get to tuesday afternoon. You start to see that tropical moisture firing up again in the sierra and it happens again on wednesday. So were kind of in that pattern and you see that counter clockwise, low pressure system as it tracks a little bit up the coast. Now its not going to leave a lot of rain in its wake. But if i take you all the way till next weekend, you can see is looking out for about, you know, 10th of an inch here and in sacramento. So this time of year, we dont have a whole lot of rainfall. So were keeping an eye on more for lightning possibilities. Thats where i have the bigger concern. Frankly, when we get into this kind of weather, but the heat will be with us through thursday longer break it down as we head towards the weekend and get to a pretty nice seasonal weekend.
