breed declared april 28th tadich grill day. darren, have you been? >> i've been a couple of times. it has a great feel. >> it's an old world feel, but as aaron peskin said, it's still contemporary. and we had great weather this week and even more ahead? yes, by the end of the week near 80 for the many inland spots. but the next three days we're locked in a pattern. it's a little windy in the afternoon. for some it's a lot windy. as we see the forecast imagery, that's for the next two afternoons. both monday and tuesday, the winds pick up in intensity along the coast. we'll use the virtual map just to do a little comparison. if we take today's numbers, these are the wind speeds where we maxed out in the afternoon. you can pick out your part of the bay, but we're pretty much all doing the same thing. it's like 25 miles per hour gusts in general. that means, when we go into the daytime highs like we did today, if you look at where
11:16 pm
we were, um, for today's daytime highs, you notice that we're pretty much sitting at like the 70s for most locations. there's not really a big difference here in terms of any kind of a warm up because you have a wind chill factor you have to take into consideration with numbers like these. it will feel a bit cool because of that. but if we look ahead to friday, just to show you where we'll be by the time we get there, we'll be looking at daytime highs for the inland valleys into the low 80s. low 70s today, but by the time you get to friday, you do low 80s and no wind. we'll really calm the wind down in a noticeable way so you'll have a really nice feeling end of the week for thursday and friday. let's take a look at the forecast imagery and get an idea on how things play out after that. the wind kind of gives us a little bit of a break by wednesday and thursday. and if we look at the long range forecast, just to see if there was even the slightest hint here we might get a chance of rain in the
11:17 pm
long range forecast, we don't. we can play it through may 7th and don't see anything show up here with the possibility to change this. really it's just a matter of staying cool and breezy for the next three days, and then a little bit of a warm up for the end of the weekend. and yes, by next weekend we'll cool down again. but i don't see any rain materializing here. not this weekend, and not from now through the first solid week of may. that's where the accumulated rain will fall for now through may 7th. we're really in this bubble down here. we started looking at this last night, and it hasn't changed much. let's get into the seven-day forecast, and i'll show you how things will progress from herement nice warm up by the end of the week, but i mentioned the cool down by the weekend. look at the numbers going from 82 degrees on thursday and friday all the way back down to 69 on saturday and 70 on sunday. the clouds increase, so you can see the days, the weather inside the tubes here showing you it's
11:18 pm
not going to be a sunny, clear, and beautiful second half of the week. but no rain in there just yet. i just don't see enough confidence that the noticeable cool down will come along with any rain. the numbers for the bay play out like this. by thursday and friday, mid-70s. still have to cool down to the mid-60s by the weekend. back to you. >> thank you, darren. firefighters in high demand here in california, and departments are working to recruit more women into the field. this weekend the berkeley fire department hosted a special camp to give young women a hands on demonstration of what it's like to be a firefighter. it's called the first in fire camp. about three dozen women showed up for the event. >> when i was younger i thought about it because i thought that's going to be me, and then it died, but now it is me. >> women make up only 14% of the berkeley fire department staff. the annual fire camp for
