was expanded five years ago. as reservoirs go it is relatively small but serves the quickly growing bay area east bay. >> one of the key benefits of that project would be water supply rely ability, specifically for dry and critically dry years. >> reporter: under the proposal the face would be raised by 55 feet. in terms of infrastructure not a lot would be lost. now, the marina office over here obviously would be underwater sought would be taken away or a new one would be built at the new level. on the other side the floating docks, well, they simply float up to whatever new level needs to be achieved. the capacity would go from 160,000 acre feet to 275,000 acre feet. that's enough water to cover the entire 13-acre at&t ballpark site with a column of water four miles high. with rapid

you get fog-free there. the fog is going to be spilling over the hill there. so these are the temperatures from today, these highs were about where they were yesterday. maybe a little cooler in some places at 87 in antioch and 92 in fairfield. tomorrow will be like this, too. this pattern, it's really a flat line. there's the fog. look how deep it is. that tells you when they light these

reporter. >> amber did it in the city. >> amber was talking about last night, and she said they were shooting the fireworks -- they have the ability to shoot under the clouds. so you're going to get a

what will happen is these areas here, will you be all right. you are not going to have fog for your fireworks. but right around here and a little bit into the marin county area, the marin county fair. that's just how it is going to be. that's july 4th weather in san francisco, and it is not a surprise. current temperatures, 83 in livermore. that's a little cooler than this time last night. fairfield is a little warmer. there is a bit of wind out there. 15 at novato. 23 miles per hour sustained at fairfield. sfo west at 24. so it's a little bit breezy. that's bringing 18 cool, moist breeze. there is the fog for tomorrow morning. that's a big push. so most of this fog is going to fill in after the fireworks, obviously, after midnight. but it is going to be a big dose, then there's your temperature footprint for tomorrow. as you look outside see temperatures 79 in sonoma, 78 in vallejo, these forecast highs almost right where they were yesterday and almost right where they were the day before. and that's fine. as you look at the coast it is going to be cool in pacifica and half moon bay. jack needed for sure. there's the five-day forecast. that's the beauty of the fire
