seen better days but still wearing raiders colors and making his plea to a court in his hometown of mobile, alabama. his lawyers saying the real story will soon emerge. meanwhile the niners patrick will is running drills before training camp but not at team headquarters, and the warriors get bad news that's quickly upgraded to a little bit better. now to the best, this weather, jeff. >> oh, yes. weave got some good news. take a look here in san jose. plenty of sunshine, and we'll tell you about those below average temperatures and how long this spring weather is going to be lasting coming up.

well, that fog bank off the coast is sure having an impact around here. >> temperatures cropping all over the place. we're looking at a 15-degree drop from our averages for some of our inland locations in the east bay today. many of you getting a break on the ac, and, you know, with this cool, we thought we'd take a look at some of the hots we've had so far actually pre-summer, before we flipped over on the calendar. we had san francisco at 87 degrees. that on june 12th. oakland also hitting 90 on june 12th and then late season -- late-month warming there in san jose with 92 degrees, but that's it so far. in fact, there are some indications that in san jose we're on track for one of the coolest summers we have had potentially here in decades. and here's proof of more of this

cooling today. 60 in redwood city and 60 in san francisco. we had the fog and it's supposed to be cool throughout the year in san francisco. it's about eight to nine degrees before where should be. 70 fremont and 64 in san rafael to 75 in santa rosa. cooler than average temperatures throughout the central vale and sacramento and for the sierra, but it doesn't take those hot temperatures to get a red flag firing warning which we have outside of lake tahoe. wind and low humidity helping to fire that off. meanwhile right now, temperatures dropping everywhere. 69 in santa rosa and 56 in san francisco. 58 all the way down here to santa cruz and 68 in gilroy. this past weekend you had 80s and 90s at this hour across portions of the south bay. fog going to stay in place, drizzle at coastline meaning wednesday plenty of 70s coming back to play, and we are looking at a little bit of warming in our seven-day forecast.

so we're used to getting the marine layer this time of the year. that's really not out of the ordinary at all. at about 2,000 feet, that's staying put, but what we're noting here is actually some cooler air that's getting pulled down in the atmosphere to northern california. so we've got the water vapor up. dry air in the mid-levels here across oregon and northern california. not doing much at all. take a look at this as this loops around. a little bit of a kink right there, and that's actually some energy in the atmosphere that's helping to drop down this cooler air in the jet stream. you can see the jet stream kinking, and that once again is helping to drop those temperatures. whole science lesson today. mild conditions expected for wednesday and also thursday's forecast. widespread 70s tomorrow, and we're looking at a little bit of warming there in the seven-day forecast. as for tonight, 54 in livermore and 56 in gilroy and 57 expected in san francisco with patchy fog from the coast inland. all right. warmest temperatures here in the south bay and 81 in morgan hill and 80 in evergreen and then a few miles to dublin, mid-70s

tomorrow. 78 in san jose and 67 in san mateo, 63 in richmond and over to oakland, we're also going with the 60s tomorrow with 76 in san ramon and a wide array of conditions for the north bay. go ten miles, go ten minutes and get something different. morning time on the weather channel on cable, and yet again we're putting it on simmer. told the temperatures to simmer down this past weekend and they did so. >> that means they should be going up. >> not the way i cook. >> all right. >> thanks, jeff. >> simmering in court for jamarcus. >> tough being jamarcus, from top pick to bottoming out. former raiders quarterback jamarcus russell is 24 years old and might not make his way back into the nfl. right now he's trying not to serve jail time. part that have starts with the not guilty plea he made in his hometown of alabama today having been charged with felony drug

possession, that being codeine syrup used to make what's known as the purple drink. he did not have a trips. up to ten people were in russell's house when he was arrested and once the evidence is known, he will be exonerated. now the same year that raiders -- the raiders drafted russell, the top pick, 2007, the niners took a guy ten spots later, he doesn't have his initials embroidered into a sports coast but patrick willis, a perennial pro bowler and top flight destroyer in the niners linebacking corps. hanging out in redwood city checking out a new game called nfl training camp. his own training camp is days away and after an over-season knee injury he's ready to go and really looking forward to the season ahead here. >> people said opportunities are always around and great opportunities come -- come every so often, and i feel like this year is one of those rare

opportunities that we've got to take advantage of it. >> and it's just around the corner. a week from tomorrow, the raiders begin their camp in napa and then a few days later the niners open their camp at team headquarters in santa clara. now the warriors, perhaps the first thing that new owner should do when he takes over is go into the block room on burn some sage or hold a seance. the top pick lost for six months after a wrist injury and newly acquired david lee injuring the middle finger on his right hand. in a practice with team usa in las vegas he went up to block a shot, jammed it into the backboard and looked down to see it bent sideways and the warriors tell us he's on his way back to l.a. to see a hand specialist and then will be heading right back to vegas to rejoin team usa. college football, one of cal's top recruits in the past class, oakland native chris martin has decided to transfer before even playing a game for the bears. meanwhile, at usc, they are

giving back the heisman, part of distancing themselves from the reggie bush scandal. not just cleaning house. they are cleaning out the trophy closet. bush though will keep his version of the trophy. but, you know, other changes. mike garrett, a former heisman winner himself is stepping down as athletic director make way for former trojan quarterback pat haven to take on the role of leading usc forward. another departure, and canned quite call this surprising, chicago cubs manager lou piniella saying he's going to retire at the end of the season. he's in the fourth and final year of his contract with the cubs who still to have day have gone 102 years without a world series title. piniella, you'll recall, won the world series as the manager when his reds swept the a's. tonight the a's host the boston red sox at the coliseum while in l.a. it's giants/dodgers game two. lincecum versus kershaw and manny ramirez is actually back on the dl. france today, lance armstrong making one last charge. >> lance armstrong is over in
