It is going to be hot out there this weekend. It is getting hotter. Here is Spencer Christian. That is for sure. It is warming up this weekend. Well probably see tripledigit temperature readings in the inland areas over the weekend. Here is a look at live doppler 7 hd and right now it is pleasantly mild and even cool near the coast. You see that little patch of marine lair there, a layer there, a spray of shower beginning to move into San Francisco, daly city and pacifica, not the extensive area of low clouds. At the golden gate, skies are blue. Forecast features. Low clouds expanding overnight. Much warmer days ahead beginning friday. And tripledigit temperatures inland likely over the weekend. Lets take a look at overnight conditions. Low temperatures mainly in the mid50s. Perhaps upper 40s in the valleys, like napa and santa rosa and the expansion of the low clouds and fog across the golden gate and across the bay but not very far inland. As the morning commute begins, low clouds should not be a significant factor in slowing down the morning commuter unless you are along the coastline where clouds are thicker. Notice, if you could confine it to the bay and the coast in the Early Morning hours but we pull back to the coast line in the early to mid morning and by day partly sunny at the coast by afternoon. And it will be cool to mild tomorrow. Breezy on the coast. Highs from upper 50s to low 60s in the coast. A low to mid70s mostly around the bay. And low to mid80s for the most part inland, but up to about 88 at antioch. Now on friday, the warmup begins. Well see typical temperatures with highs in the low 90s inland on friday. And then a big weekend warmup advances on saturday with inland highs in the upper 90 toss about 100 up in cloverdale. Warmer in the forecast period and maybe sunday mild to hot with upper 90s to 100 in places like fairfield and concord and livermore and 100 or above for the feelslike in cloverdale. So here is the accuweather sevenday forecast. Upper 90s inland by saturday and up to or above 100 inland on sunday. Notice not much of a cool down on monday, tuesday and wednesday of the we wont see tripledigits but we will see mid to upper 90s. So the warmth will hold on for a while inland but there wont be a big warmup around the bay or on the coast. Just mild conditions there. The hot weather confined to the inland areas. Larry and kristen. Thank you, spencer. Remembering the man who brought us happy days, pretty woman and much more. A look back at the successful career of Gary Marshall. And the not so successful commute going on right now on highway 101 in san jose. This is southbound that is backed up there. Even the carpool lane is slowing down considerably. Northbound is fine and 80 over the top is moving nicely in both directions. The world is celebrating the life of Gary Marshall. He had amazing career. Chris connelly looks back at his impact on holiday and the world. As a writer and director and producer, in tv and in the movies, for over half a century, Gary Marshall made actors funnier and made audiences laugh.
