the air pollution. the storm doppler radar not seeing much. this is very unusual we don't have any storms coming in every two to three days. the rain producing clouds still missing us to the north. so you know how the progression goes. 30s and 40s to start, probably more clouds to start the day and the clouds will begin to thin out as we head through the afternoon and our temperatures should climb mostly into the low to mid-60s tomorrow, mid-60s around morgan hill, the tri-valley and santa rosa. some of the warmest spots close to 67 degrees around the north bay. but the attention this hour tomorrow night will be the wind. these areas here in red inland interior north bay counties, napa county, sonoma county and also lake county. those are the areas that will see the driest and strongest wind gusts. very likely it'll be from about 4:00 a.m. and 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. in the morning where see the wind speeds at their

strongest. and 5:00 wind speeds start to come back down. brief increase of fire danger. not quite as strong as you saw in october, but again we should not have to talk about this in december. you see how the storms continue to miss us off to the north. right now if we look at the long-range forecast if we take this out to about ten days we begin to see a bit of rainfall. you have to look right there. you can see that's when we might begin to see a chance of rain coming back into the forecast. in the meantime warmer temperatures and upper 60s around san francisco, and some some of the our inland locations we'll have a chance at some 60s and 70s. as we head to the ten day outlook i think as we get toward the 14th and 15th we'll be hopeful the rain does make a come back. the forecast continues to trend to at least something there in rain chances around the 14th and

15th. grasping literally a dry thin air but the rain will eventually get here. it has to at some point. >> there's a lot of hope in that weather forecast. rob, thank you. let's check in with anthony flores right now. this is a good football day the bay area has had in a long time. >> especially for the san jose state spartans. the last time they were unbeaten this late in the college football season. stick around. sports is next.
