cities before coming back here. tara moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news. high temperatures today kind of got up there. especially inland, around the bay not hot but certainly warm but inland it got hot. 99 in fairfield. 97 in antioch. and 97 in livermore. the forecast really is for more of this. this heat coming out of the desert southwest is going to keep creeping in. what that does effectively is it really heats up the valley. that's where the big numbers came from. for us we still have a slight onshore flow so bay and coast going to stay kind of like it was today. maybe a little bit warm. 70s, 80s for the most part. but inland it's hot. no question about it and it will be hot. tomorrow will probably be the hottest day of the week. you can see that cut off here too. still 74 in fairfield. around here, that's where the sea breeze is where the 60s are. there will be not much of a sea breeze tonight. it's going to stay around the bay. you can see the winds are light and variable for this time of night. look at sfo. 15 miles per hour sustained. that's light. i expect it to be 18 or 20. what's missing here? that's the fog that's not present at the golden gate bridge. there's some fog showing up outside of pacifica but very patchy. it will be back tomorrow morning and with that said, the temperatures tomorrow, warmest of the week. and then they trend down on saturday and sunday a little bit and then they heat right back up monday, tuesday, wednesday next week. i'll show you what i mean. so if you look at the forecast for livermore, tomorrow, today, wednesday, today was about upper 90s. friday will be near 100. cools a little bit on saturday. so my point is the inland valleys aren't cooling that much. sunday it's back up to 103 and 106 on monday. away from the bay, it's going to be hot in the inland bay valleys and air quality will not be so great. here's the forecast for tomorrow. 98 in clear lake. 98 in vacaville. this could easily be 100s. this is what i'm forecasting for antioch by the airport there, small airport. but if you have concrete around you, you're 100 easy. 85 in milpitas. 97, morgan hill. 77 in santa cruz. fog along the coast. friday, long week for many or long vacation week i hope for you. weekend looks good. going to be a little bit cooler inland. thing to note here, it stays pretty hot in some of the inland bay valleys but the coast and base mellows out quite a bit. when we come back we'll talk more about the long range forecast and the concern for fires as we move in to this next hot spell. earthquake experts with the u.s.

cities before coming back here. tara moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news. high temperatures today kind of got up there. especially inland, around the bay not hot but certainly warm but inland it got hot. 99 in fairfield. 97 in antioch. and 97 in livermore. the forecast really is for more of this. this heat coming out of the desert southwest is going to keep creeping in. what that does effectively is it really heats up the valley. that's where the big numbers came from. for us we still have a slight onshore flow so bay and coast going to stay kind of like it was today. maybe a little bit warm. 70s, 80s for the most part. but inland it's hot. no question about it and it will be hot. tomorrow will probably be the hottest day of the week. you can see that cut off here too. still 74 in fairfield. around here, that's where the sea breeze is where the 60s are. there will be not much of a sea breeze tonight. it's going to stay around the bay. you can see the winds are light and variable for this time of night. look at sfo. 15 miles per hour sustained. that's light. i expect it to be 18 or 20. what's missing here? that's the fog that's not present at the golden gate bridge. there's some fog showing up outside of pacifica but very patchy. it will be back tomorrow morning and with that said, the temperatures tomorrow, warmest of the week. and then they trend down on saturday and sunday a little bit and then they heat right back up monday, tuesday, wednesday next week. i'll show you what i mean. so if you look at the forecast for livermore, tomorrow, today, wednesday, today was about upper 90s. friday will be near 100. cools a little bit on saturday. so my point is the inland valleys aren't cooling that much. sunday it's back up to 103 and 106 on monday. away from the bay, it's going to be hot in the inland bay valleys and air quality will not be so great. here's the forecast for tomorrow. 98 in clear lake. 98 in vacaville. this could easily be 100s. this is what i'm forecasting for antioch by the airport there, small airport. but if you have concrete around you, you're 100 easy. 85 in milpitas. 97, morgan hill. 77 in santa cruz. fog along the coast. friday, long week for many or long vacation week i hope for you. weekend looks good. going to be a little bit cooler inland. thing to note here, it stays pretty hot in some of the inland bay valleys but the coast and base mellows out quite a bit. when we come back we'll talk more about the long range forecast and the concern for fires as we move in to this next hot spell. earthquake experts with the u.s. geological survey say they've discovered something new about the hayward fault. it's one of the bay area's major fault lines. now new research shows the hayward fault may actually join up with another
