38. 39 napa. so pretty cool here but look at the coast. 50 half moon bay, 51 antioch. we are on our way to a warmer day we've seen in quite some time as this ridge continues to strengthen. here at the surface, northeast at 5 by the delta and looking at the winds to pick up throughout the day today. but since yesterday, look how warm we are. 10 degrees warmer from antioch, 5 degrees warmer in san francisco. with numbers starting out warmer, the winds picking up. we are looking at some potential records, 70s, maybe mid-70s, maybe near 80 in the salinas valley. so windy in the hills this afternoon, tonight, into tomorrow and we'll see record highs with once again no rain in sight. see here's the way it looks. this afternoon and tomorrow morning, i should say sunday morning, we'll look for winds 25 to 35 mph. gusts to 45. santa cruz mountains, the carquinez straights, north bay hills and our east bay hills around mount diablo. the reason why, high pressure off the coast, it's strengthening. that's going to allow for a pretty tight pressure gradient from surface high to area of low pressure to the south. once that happens we will see or feel those winds howling, maybe 50 mph up around mount diablo. so definitely pay attention to that but it's this area of high pressure that's going to stay in command the next several days and, in fact, we are looking at a pattern

in a couple minutes. >> water in the bay area, several key projects of the seismic retrofit will begin this year. it's a carefully choreographed construction project that will give them places they haven't been in decades. in assignment 7 dan ashley shows us an exclusive look inside this amazing system. >> this pipeline was built in the late '60s to meet the growing demand for water along the peninsula. typically it carries water for more than a million people. the pipeline is seven stories below the surface and no one has been inside it to inspect it since the water was turned on more than four decades ago. until now. >> this went into service approximately 1967. it hasn't been inspected since. >> blake rossfuss is the lead quality insurance inspector on this three-mile stretch of pipeline running along highway 280 in san mateo county. >> we're inspecting water system infrastructure that rarely gets inspected but is so critical to the population that you rarely have the opportunity to get inside and check on 'em. >> this stretch of tunnel was carefully walked by engineers and water officials looking for anything that may affect the flow or quality of the water be sent through it. >> looking for signs of distress in the concrete lining that might be indicated by cracks. might be indicated by leaking water. >> this can be dangerous work. the communication is by radio. and an air horn letting everyone outside the tunnel know everyone inside is okay. working in a 9 foot tall tunnel underground has unseen dangers. the air quality is constantly measured for dangerous levels of carbon monoxide or possibly explosive gases. a high-powered fan forces air through the opposite end of the tunnel to keep the water out during the inspection, every valve supplying water to the tunnel is turned off and locked until everyone is out of the tunnel. >> the opportunity for the sfpc to assess the condition of the this tunnel is a rare opportunity. >> and it is an opportunity made possible by one of the largest water infrastructure upgrades in california history. since the 1920s water from yosemite national park has provided 2.5 million people in northern california with some of the most pristine and valuable water in the nation. it is an engineering marvel managed by the san francisco public utilities commission. but years of deferred maintenance and old construction techniques have made the system vulnerable in a major earthquake. in 2002, san francisco voters approved a bond to pay for their share of repairs to the aging system. it will paid back over time with increases in water rates. some of the largest projects are ramping up to start this year. >> we're going to be probably dedicating a project a month for the next six months. >> ed heads up the puc and the $4 billion project to upgrade the water system. it includes replacing pipes in the san francisco bay with a tunnel, a new dam, and upgrading water treatment facilities. >> we have $2 billion under construction right now which is really pretty amazing when you think about it. >> harrington says the goal is completely upgrade the water system by 2015. >> one of the fundamental challenges we have is rebuilding it while it stays online. it's a tremendous challenge. >> that's why they're putting in this new tunnel. it will provide an alternative path during an emergency. but the older tunnel is still part of the system and why this inspection is so critical. >> it turns out the tunnel is in fantastic shape and lucky enough to not go back into the tunnel for repairs for the foreseeable future. >> that was dan ashley. crews worked around the clock and managed to finish the job in half the time. meteorologist lisa argen is here now with her beautiful forecast this weekend. great day to be outside. >> i know a few people who thought they were going to go skiing this weekend. >> that's too bad. but we could see more snow maybe ten days or so. seriously. between now and then we're gonna have the dry weather. we head outside from sutro cam. later on today we could see some of these cameras shaking a bit. in fact, wind gusts, mount diablo, 63 mph. 20 to 30 mph winds at the oakland hills, in the oakland hills. and that is allowing temperatures to stay on the mild side this morning, 52 san francisco. except napa and fairfield and low lying valleys, looking at upper 30s, 50 half moon bay with 45 livermore. so at the surface the winds are calm, no problems here but if you're doing biking or hiking you'll notice the winds are definitely up and that's why we have a wind advisory in the hills. but 24 hours ago we were cooler. so already starting out anywhere from 1 to 10 degrees warmer from oakland to the delta. 5 degrees warmer in san francisco. 6 degrees warmer in los gatos. this is actually typically cool location. we're on our way to a very warm weekend. windy in the north and east bay hills tonight into tomorrow. records will be likely and no rain the next seven days. beyond that it does look like we will see a pattern change. a wind advisory from 4:00 this afternoon until 10:00 tomorrow with north winds 25 to 30 mph, gusts to 45 mph. also wanna include the santa cruz mountains as well. and we've got high pressure building into the coast and that's going to allow those north winds to really start howling around the bay area. the double barrel of high pressure, the storm track going up and over the ridge and from time to time a few high serous clouds drifting through that ridge. but overall the ridge is gonna stay in place and the warmest temperatures should come in tomorrow. then we'll see things slightly cool back for the rest of the week. so the short-term, we're looking at mid-70s in some of these locations will experience some records for mid-february which should see highs anywhere from 3 to 10 degrees cooler than what we're seeing today. 70s should do it in santa clara, milpitas and sunnyvale today. on the peninsula look for mid-60s at our beaches, pacifica, half moon bay, 71 redwood city. downtown warming through the 60s to 69 degrees in san francisco. north bay numbers look for 74, santa rosa. that could be a record. 71 novato. even by the water here, hercules, richmond and berkeley. upper 60s for you. in the hills remember very windy here, 71 concord, 72 pleasanton and down
