back and the second wave has been trying to dissipate and this will fill back in and move inland as we head through the rest of this evening and mainly overnight and it won't be as widespread and as thick and it should do the same backing up process it went through today and right there there is some of the fogs we catomade up to 9 santa rosa and i don't think it will be quite that warm in the rth bay because instead of wind from the west it will be southwest and will drop the temperatures back by five or six or 7 degrees and 87 for a dehelow 80s d upper 70s jose in fremont and rated 70 in san francisco and a few degrees warmer than we thought but i am h on the cool side and 64 is the high temperature at half moon bay. stire 70 at sfo but downtown into the low 60s. still some 80s in the east bay and santa rosa at 89 for the hotspot and 88 right now at fairfield and 78 in san jose. through the rest of tonight, there is the fog spreading out into some of the inland valleys, but if you mentally think back 24 hours what it looked like, it was gray across

the bay area. it won't be the case in the morning and what fog there is inland dissipates rapidly. i think we will see a little bit of clearing along the coast tomorrow afternoon before the fog reforms and tries to spread inland by early saturday. but i think it will have even less success and we will see even more sunshine of the weekend and saturday warms up above 90 degrees for inland portions of the bay area and temperatures around the bay should make it up to around or above 70. low temperatures into the mid- to upper 50s and a nice warm-up tomorrow with similar temperatures to what we had today which means in the city temperatures in the mid-to upper 60s and the onshore breeze kicks in earlier so below 70 for the high temperature. but pretty good weather for day 2 of the pga championship. we will check the harding pad-s 80s in the afternoon with plenty of sunshine and severe clear for concord as well with temperatures reaching up to where they were today and may

be a degree or two warmer and we won't see much variation and and i mentioned the wind more to the south and southwest instead of straight to the west and it does not sound like a big change but a big difference in terms of the warm. low 60s along the coast. upper 60s and low 70s around the bay with upper 70s for the south end and low 80s in the santa clara valley and mid 80s for the tri-valley with hotspots east of the diablo range and upper 70s the low to mid 80s from north bay. harding park, up to the mid-60s and that is not bad for august and a similar pattern to today were early morning fog and cloud cover dissipates leaving us with a mix of sunshine and clouds but even more sunshine on saturday with temperatures a little warmer so it means the course will dry up and some scores may go up. 90 for inland portions of the bay area on saturday and right around there again on sunday. we drop off a bit next week near normal for most of the

second week of august. coming up i will have the hour by hour dog walking forecast. new at 6:00, california lawmakers have an idea to encourage every american to wear a mask. but will their strategy work? the pga tournament lands in san francisco and the galleries were trying to make the most out of bad circumstances and what can and can't be seen out here. tonight a vigil in the bay area for
