will be in the upper 80s which is really a good thing for this big holiday weekend. right now it's 12 degrees warmer in livermore than last night at this time. that's what, 88 degrees. it's warmer on the inland bay valleys and as we head want the weekend -- head to the weekend, it will be a little cooler in the 70s. as you look on the city, sutro tower, you see the fog by the mountain. when it comes back, you'll notice it. tomorrow is a lot like today. saturday this system nudges closer. this is all last summer actually. if this was winter, this would be rain. in the summer months there's not enough energy. so it's enough to stretch out the marine layer and cool thing off. look at the inland valley, upper 80s saturday and sunday. i know the fire crews on call this weekend are real happy with this pattern. monday will be warmer, but a few moistures and humidities will be up, so that's good. fog forecast for the morning, forecast eye for the afternoon. 95 in vacaville tomorrow, the hotspots, 96 in brentwood. reasonably mild around the bay. folk at the cost with temperatures in the low 60s in then the five-day forecast for your holiday weekend, there it is. the hottest day will be tomorrow and then temperatures trend down. you'll be in the upper 80s, maybe low 90s. >> i'm looking at the big temperature swings depending where you are. in you're inland, it could be 20 to 30 degrees. >> that's not many places in the world that does that, a couple places in south america, but it's an unusual climate that we have. so you'll be in shorts in contra costa county and bundled up on the coast. >> thank you. red hot a's go for the fourth game sweep tonight. >> the rumor swirling around who kevin durant picked up today. mark is here now with sports. the a's going for a sweep of the giants. >> can you believe it? this is not turning out the way any giants fans figured it, would but good for the a's. >> a's fans are happy. >> the a's will have a chore trying to beat madison bumgarner, but the way they're swinging the bats, who knows? the dh rule in effect, but as scott reiss reports, it may not work out like everybody figures. >> reporter: mark, the big picture, the a's going for an unlikely sweep at the coliseum. it would be the first ever regular season sweep of this bay bridge series, but the subtext madison bumgarner pitching and hitting for the giants. remember we're in an american league park, so bruce bochy does have the designated hitter option at his disposal. he won't use it. bum garner will bat for himself -- bumgarner will bat for himself. bochy saying it's the right thing to do. >> i talked to bum just to see if he wanted to hit. he could take the day off, just give him a break and pitch out there. he's a competitor. he wants to hit, keeps him in the same routine and he's earned this. he's a pretty good hitter. >> i would love to have someone like that that you could plug into the lineup and depending on what your roster looked like. not too many guys like him. >> reporter: bochy was later asked who is the best hitting pitcher you've ever seen and he said madison bumgarner without a doubt. a few years back you might recall joe maddon when he managed in tampa bay penciled in his starting pitcher in the dh, but that was in advertent, this obviously very intentional. we'll see how it works out tonight. the giants have their problems, injuries definitely mounting. that has a little something to do with their poor play of late, but also with problems if you're a giant fan, you're not all that disappointed, but you hate to hear about one of the great players in the game injured. clayton kershaw undoubtedly best pitcher in the major leagues goes to the disabled list for 15 days. old has what they are call -- he has what they are calling mild disc herniation in his lower back. he'll miss at least a couple starts. all the talk with regard to the golden state warriors and anything that has to do with basketball seems to center around the free agent free for all that start at 9:00 tonight our time, kevin durant the no. 1 prize on the market. looks like he'll stay in okc. a couple of of associates of his say that kevin had 90% of his mind made up to stay put and, of course, he would make a whole lot more money just staying at okc. the warriors nevertheless will meet with kevin durant tomorrow in the hamptons. good for them. one way or another, i guarantee you they'll have some full out there. it is the summer of soccer in europe now. the euro cup continues, a very good match today between poland and portugal. it went to a shootout. sanchez with a give and go and sanchez firing from outside the box ties things up. sanchez shot off a deflection. he becomes the third youngest player to score in the euro cup, just 18 years old. we go to penalty kicks. the shot was saved and for the win here ricardo sending portugal to the next round with that hesitation move and he bangs it home. that was a nice little something to throw off the goalie and it worked. portugal will meet either belgium and/or wales. there you go. that's the sporting live for this hour, a win right there and let them celebrate a little bit. i don't think warrior fans should have gotten their hopes up too high about landing kevin durant anyway. i didn't see it coming. you never know. maybe that meeting in the hamptons. >> maybe they'll persuade him. >> sitting around in their smoking jackets on the deck. something could happen. >> waiting to see what happens tomorrow. in the meantime we're looking to see what happens with madison bumgarner tonight, see how he's going to do. >> stop a little losing streak. they've lost six of the last seven. the a's have won six of their last seven and the giants in a little slump now.

"we are testing a new medication "for social anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia and obsessive compulsive disorder." why would they be looking for test subjects here? i don't know, raj. maybe the comic book store doesn't have a bulletin board. what's going on? (whispering): shh, hot girl in sheldon's office. sheldon's office? is she lost? i don't think so. i followed her here from the parking lot. maybe she's his lawyer. well, she's free to examine my briefs. howard. i know, i'm disgusting. i should be punished... by her. oh, look, i did it again.
