there, but it will become more comfortable there in the next few days as we have an onshore flow developing right now. >> as you can see right now in the satellite radar composite image. so the marine layer is making a return and not a moment too soon. our heat advisory remains in effect until 11:00 tonight for virtually all of our interior hills and valleys. so under this kind of excessive heat, there is an increased risk, of course, of heat related illness. so bear that in mind. try to stay hydrated, limit your exposure to the heat and the sun. now that cooldown that's coming eventually is being assisted by this onshore flow. right now we have breezy conditions, but we don't have powerful gusts yet, and the 24 hour temperature change shows that it hasn't cooled down much even with that onshore flow developing now, because it's about 12 to 13 degrees warmer in most inland locations right now than at this time yesterday. here's a view from our exploratory camera, looking back at a portion of the san francisco skyline. 65 degrees here in the city right now. oakland 73. we have 82 at hayward, 88 at san jose, redwood city, almost 80 degrees and 57

at half moon bay. looking down onto the bay from mount tam, you see that little finger of fog pushing through the golden gate there? it's 92 right now in santa rosa, petaluma 82, by the way. 102 in saint helena, right now, 80 at napa, 100 at fairfield and 99 apiece at concord and livermore. it is warm. and so these are our forecast headlines. heat advisory today for the interior hills and valleys. tomorrow the heat eases area wide. it'll still be warm inland but not like today's heat. and then into next week the fog returns, a cooler pattern develops, and we'll all feel better. here's a look at our future cast taking us into the late night hours. we'll see the fog coming back to the coast and pushing locally across the bay. there'll be lots of patchy drizzle offshore tonight during the overnight hours and even into the early morning hours, but we'll have a mainly sunny day tomorrow once the coastal fog burns back. overnight lows will be generally in the mid to upper 50s, so pretty mild after a very hot day . you would expect that on the coast though a little bit cooler with overnight lows around 50 degrees. highs tomorrow right

around 60 on the coast, 64 here in san francisco. mid to upper 70s. generally around the bay shoreline. but some locations will top out around 80 or 82. and again still pretty warm in our inland areas tomorrow with highs in the low to mid 90s in most inland communities. as we skip ahead to monday, you can see there will be further cooling and certainly on tuesday and wednesday we'll get into a much more comfortable range of temperatures. here's the accuweather seven day forecast so low to mid 90s inland for the next few days, and mid 70s to upper 70s around the bay shoreline, but then later in next into the next week we'll see a high temperatures inland, dropping into the upper 80s to around 90, which is more seasonal range and only mid 70s around the bay shoreline. >> i've never enjoyed fog so much as i did this morning in the city. proud to live in the city on days like this. >> absolutely. >> yeah. spencer, thank you so much. a guy who heats up, we've heated up inland. you heat up every time for this sports segment coming up in sports after a special game at rickwood field thursday, giants and cardinals resume their series in

a very hot saint louis, missouri, where former giant brandon crawford, he now plays there. >> there he is. giants scored three runs in a flash. could they ride the momentum and sna

i'm alabama thursday for the giants cardinals game at rickwood field. and as amazing as it looked on tv, i can tell you it was unreal in person. the historic game honoring both willie mays and the leagues. it's something i'll never forget. giants ace logan webb and forever giant current

cardinal brandon crawford meeting up pregame top of the first michael conforto two out, two run single right up the middle three nothing. giants before saint louis even gets to the plate. conforto part of a three rbi game for him. that was good to see jordan hicks pitching against his former teams and giant killer paul goldschmidt. whether he's in arizona or saint louis, he continues to do well. 350th career home run not all against the giants. cardinals back in the game. it's three two bottom four cards down, four two. hicks gives up the go ahead three run homer to alec burleson, the first of his two home runs on the day. tough return for hicks. four innings five earned two homers allowed. giants lose 944 straight losses. webb's going to go against former ace sonny gray as the giants look to avoid the sweep tomorrow. speaking of the a's, a warm day at the coliseum and even in the shade, big hats a great idea. bottom one down one nothing. jj bleday one mighty swing and this game is tied his 11th of the year. and you throw up your a when you're in oakland. but it all unravels for oakland starter jp sears in the second third batter of the

innings, manuel margot crushing a three run shot to left four one. minnesota mark kotsay looking on. three batters later, jose miranda doubles in two more at six one and still nobody out. sears eight earned runs, only got four outs before he was pulled, and twins starter bailey ober tossed his first career complete game on just 89 pitches. a's lose ten two rubber match tomorrow, then the a's hit the road for a six game road trip. indycar with their annual stop in monterrey practice and qualifying today, denmark's christian rasmussen overcorrects goes hard into the tires during practice, thankfully. okay, he's going to start 21st tomorrow. two time reigning indy 500 champ josef newgarden. josef newgarden didn't have the best day. he'll start 14th, finished second two years ago two reigning indy car champ alex paulo who grabbed the pole. he has three consecutive top three finishes. laguna seca, including that victory in 2022. uh- moving day at the travelers championship. cameron young had himself a day second shot on the

third hole and he's going to hold out a hopper right into the cup. so good things early for young. all right tee shot now a number eight. young is going to just miss the hole but settles 14in from the hole. he would make the birdie putt and move to six under. so you see things are going well. teeing off on number 15 now. no red line was actually unreal play in real life. very friendly bounce. he finishes 11 under shot a 59. the lowest score on the pga tour in four years, the second ever to do it. the travelers, 12th ever to do a sub 60. the only time i'm getting a 59 on a golf course is putt putt, and it's probably 59 still on the first like eight holes of putt putt. so pretty impressive stuff there from cameron. >> love seeing crawford out there. if only we could see him in the games a little more often. >> yeah he's not playing as much there. he's more of a coach type role. but rick wood was amazing. if you ever can get out to birmingham, go out there jealous of that. >> that was look special. yeah, it was. thanks so much.
