up fast. there's really warm air aloft. i do expect a late sea breeze but not before temperatures get to 100. could be a few cues in the hills, a low offshore. that will pick up the fog and ramp it

gatos to explain what that means to apple investors and to the company. good morning, janine. >> reporter: good morning, dave. analysts are going to be watching this stock to see if this move by apple drives investors to buy more shares. is has a lot to do with psychology and people wants to buy when a share is cheap. now, the price of one share of apple is going to drop. it has dropped from $645 to $90, $95 range. it started to sell slightly above $92. that's because apple is doing what's called a stock split which means issuing more shares to existing investors to brick down the price. everyone -- bring down the price. everyone who owned a share as of june 2nd will get credit for own be seven shares. this will make it easier to buy the shares. the company's value remains the same but this may attract more investors who previously wouldn't buy in because it was so expensive. we asked people if they would buy. >> i do through mew chul funds, but not -- mutual funds. but not individually. i would look at it, absolutely. i own all apple products. that's all i use. >> reporter: some think this may pave the way for apple to be clouded in the dow jones. apple was never

sunny to mostly sunny. 50s, 60s to 70s already in fairfield. probably no problem hitting the 100s. there should be a late westerly breeze instead of the northerly breeze we had yesterday. i mean, red flag warning still out. sacramento valley. fog circling the wagon. it will be here again. the fog forecast shows there's pog. by tonight -- patchy fog. by tonight it will fill in. i think we'll get a coastal eddy maybe by bodega bay and tomorrow will be much, much cooler. today, warm to hot away from the coast. by it, i think there will be a lot of 60s here. a late breeze out of the west. it looks like it will develop but not before 70s, 80s to 90s. hot conditions. st. helena, fairfield, we lose the north wind but still, 101 for pittsburg. 101 for livermore. 82 oakland. near 100 for many. 90
