5:15 pm
next few days because that was today. monday and tuesday are both going to be warmer than this. by the time we get to tuesday, the warmest day this week, it will be more like the low to mid-80s. first off what happened in the marine layer? it was out there in limited places and that is going back to 9:00 a.m. and just so you could see a patch of it right off the coast and that is what they saw when they ended up in may gray with that small patch. and if we watched the loop, it melted away. here is the view as we showed you this on the top of the newscast. normally if may, you would expect the entire coastline to be covered in stratus clouds, the marine layer. so what happened? and
5:16 pm
how do we do this? and with a will change by wednesday to bring it back. if you look at the satellite, you would miss the whole story and now you see things that you never knew were there. we've got this area right there and that is the important thing and that is clearing the marine layer out. that cold front is coming through. but all it's doing is breaking up the marine layer and pushing it away. when we go back, you can see it. the clouds getting pushed down the coast and away and you never knew what was doing that if you didn't look at it definitely and see the marine layer. so watch what happens on wednesday as we lose the influence of that and watch what happens as we creep back in. wednesday morning, it is not overwhelming, but it's back. we will wake up on wednesday with the low clouds filtering in. wednesday by coincidence, it's also the day when the temperatures are going to turn around and start coming down.
5:17 pm
tuesday and wednesday are pretty close actually. they are both kind of warm. but wednesday technically we will begin the turnaround. here is tomorrow. you'll pick out tomorrow's daytime highs. warmer today with the low 80s showing up here. now watch what happens as we advance that on tuesday. and for many of the inland valleys. here is san francisco and oakland. oakland, you'll top out on tuesday at 75. you'll go down to 60 by saturday. north bay valleys, you'll top out at 84 on tuesday with the turnaround on wednesday. by next weekend, north bay valleys, and south bay, including san jose, they are not getting out of the 60s. right back to gray and cool for next weekend. so just enjoy the middle stretch of this week if you do enjoy those sunny skies and the temperatures are well above average. back to you. >> thanks, darren. we knew there would be excitement entering the final round with scores so close, so many big names at the top. many
