This mark continues a streak of ten consecutive months with record heat dating back to october of last year. And for the latest on our temperatures and all things weather, we have spencer. Spencer, cooling down it sounds like. A cooling trend through the weekend, im happy to say. Here is a live look at doppler 7 hd. It is cool near the coast but still warm inland and it is as you might guess, foggy near the coast and sunny inland. So lets take a look at current readings. 59 degrees at half moon bay. 64 in san francisco. 94 over in danville and livermore. So we have quite a wide range of temperatures as we often have this time of the year. From our rooftop here at abc 7, we see blue sky over the bay. These are the forecast features. Foggy conditions near the coast and bay with chance of overnight drizzle. It will be sunny over the bay and inland tomorrow and tomorrow is a spare the a day and well have poor air quality in our inland east bay. Overnight lows in the mid to upper 50s to a mild day with lees of only 60 in livermore and san jose. As we look at our forecast animation, you see the fog getting thicker and moving across the bay locally as it has done in the last couple of nights. Tomorrow morning, morning commuters will be greeted by reduced visibility once again and it looks like low clouds and fog will linger through most of the morning commute. That is how it will look at 8 00 tomorrow morning. From north bay to south bay to east bay. By midday, well see the fog back at the coast and mainly sunny skies in the afternoon and that will give way to a mild day. Well see highs near 60 at the coast, low to mid70s around the bay. Mostly 80s inland but the inland east bay will see highs in the low to mid90s. Now i had told you tomorrow is another spare the air day and once again a reminder that the poorest air quality is expected to be in the inland east bay. Here is the max temperature trend. Cooling begins tomorrow and cooling continues on friday. Inland highs in the 80s. Mainly mid70s around the bay. Saturday, close to an average range of highs for this time of year, highs ranging from 60 at the coast to about 90 in the warmest inland locations and well see a steady pattern continuing into sunday. Maybe just a couple of degrees cooler in some inland areas on sunday than on saturday. Here is the accuweather sevenday forecast. And once again, look for mid90s in the warmest him land spots and only up to about 90 in the warmest locations on friday and saturday and cooler yet on sunday and monday and tuesday when inland highs reach to the mid to upper 80s around the bay and well see low to mid70s and on the coast, after the weekend, upper 50s to near 60. So nice cooling trend coming our way but dont expect it to last too long. This is august after all. We could get more heat before the month is over. No question. Even into september.
