Still ahead, a bay area team, serving up delicious sweets, now getting a chance to show his skills to the nation. Ahead in sports, almost installation day for the 49ers, warriors ran the floor for the first time today, and bruce bodie, back in postseason, when we challenged ourselves to create the worlds most emotional anand sustainanable vehiclc wewe had totothink diffeferen wewe had to pupush the bououns toto not just t create a c r but a a movement. Every fisksker ocean i is prodd with ovever 50 kilogograms o ethicalllly sourced,d, recycleded materialsls. Itss about accccomplishin someththing bigger thahan itself. A a clean fufuture for a a. A lot of folks will be heading to San Francisco to enjoy fleet week, the blue angels, and all the festivities. It looks like the weather is going to actually cooperate, right . Right. We like to make fun of people who come in from outside tentacle, wearing a short and a teacher, have to buy a sweatshirt at one of the shops. You can spot the tourists. Exactly, but this time around, you can get away with that, temperatures will be in the 80s, even along the waterfront friday and saturday, for blue angels it shows. Probably dropping sunday, though. Lets look at what you need to know for the next few days, with a live look outside toward san jose and the Santa Clara Valley but a little haze, air quality has been okay today. We are in the midst of a warm spell that will become a heat wave. In addition to higher temperatures, we have offshore winds and low humidity, adding up to a moderate fire threat, not off the charts, because the offshore winds will be very strong. We have added a tiny bit of moisture to the fuels with rain chances over the past couple weeks, so moderate heat risk and moderate wildfire threat the next few days. Then we cool down through sunday into early next week. In the shortterm, it is going to be hot out there. Temperatures in livermore, going to see one of the wilder writerly temperature roller coaster, up to 90 tomorrow, then mid90s thursday, friday, and saturday, acting down sunday but still above average, then a sharp drop sends us to below average temperatures by monday and tuesday. As the cooler air roles and, even an outside chance of a couple showers. Only the 20 to 30 range, way down toward the end of the sevenday forecast, so we are not talking about a guarantee of moisture, but in early october, when we tell you there is a chance, it is something to keep an eye on. In the short term right now, looking out from the hopkins hotel, temperatures are backing on a little, especially around the bay, low 70s in oakland, a mix of upper 70s and low to mid 80s for those inland locations, significantly warmer than yesterday. Damages tomorrow take another step up, after we start off close to normal. That is the good news, we are going to stay pretty close to average for this time of year overnight, so while daytime temperatures will be hot, we get a chance to recover overnight, open the windows, get some fresh air in the house. Lets check temperatures for tomorrow, which will be way above average, by 10 to 15 degrees. That puts us up to 90, 91 degrees throughout the Santa Clara Valley, right at 90 degrees in redwood city, just short of 90 degrees in fremont, into the 90s in land in the east bay, low 90s across the board, and offshore wind means warmer air can make its way all the way to the coast, so half moon bay, getting into upper 70s, low 80s in San Francisco and upper 80s for oakland, but as warm as the temperatures are, they are not recordsetting. Records in are above 100, record attendance is going oakland well into the 90s. It is still going to be hot, so exercise caution with high temperatures in the north bay also reaching low 90s. These are not the warmest readings we will see for the next several days. Check the sevenday forecast, we will start with the inlet, low 90s, not recordsetting, but out of the ordinary for this time of year, then we tumble off a cliff to below average temperatures monday and tuesday. A similar trend, just not quite as much fluctuation around the bay. In San Francisco and oakland, 80s tomorrow, all through saturday, then dropping back to near average or below average by monday and tuesday, with additional cloud cover yielding the outside chance of a couple showers. Even along the coast, upper 70s tomorrow, then close to 80 thursday and friday, backing down saturday, and by sunday, you are back into the mid60s and low 60s monday and tuesday, with gray skies back overhead.
