saturday. now eventually we'll get some rain back in the seven day forecast but our nearest sign is about 900 miles out here. and typically this would have an easy time. we have this unusually strong region of high pressure building in from the pacific and it's not going to go anywhere the next 48 hours, stay firmly entrenched right over all of california helping to drive this heat. so far saturday we'll have a few more 90s returning, possibly a couple of records, and then as we head into sunday we'll get a cooling coast with that marine layer coming on back. so if you're looking for the beach day, it looks like saturday will be the best because as we head throughout the morning and the afternoon, we'll see that marine layer push on back and we'll have a sunny finish for everyone on saturday. for santa cruz, by 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, temperatures in the mid-80s. so some spectacular weather coming our way for saturday. 55 in redwood city to begin. 59 in san jose. also expecting 57 in concord and 56 in oakland.
