OUTSIDE TODAY, TAKING A LIVE LOOK ON THIS WARM THURSDAY EVENING. FIRST ALERT CHIEF METEOROLOGIST PAUL HEGGEN IS TRACKING IT ALL FOR US. IT'S GOING TO GET EVEN WARMER, PAUL? >> PARTS OF THE BAY AREA WILL GET WARMER TOMORROW INLAND, BUT CLOSER TO THE COAST AND AROUND THE BAY THAT WEAK ONSHORE BREEZE DID RETURN THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BACK DOWN. THEY'LL STILL BE ABOVE AVERAGE, STILL A WARMER THAN AVERAGE PATTERN PARKED IN PLACE. OFFSHORE WINDS IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL STILL PREVAIL AS OFFSHORE WINDS INLAND PREVAIL. IT'S THE LIGHT ONSHORE BREEZE ALONG THE COAST THAT, A, MAKES A TRICKY FORECAST AND, B, KEEPS US ON THE COOLER SIDE ALONG THE COAST AND ALLOWS FOR THE RETURN OF AT LEAST SOME FOG ALONG THE COASTLINE EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. I DON'T THINK IT MAKES ITS WAY INSIDE THE BAY, CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO PUSH IN THE INLAND VALLEYS, JUST ONE SIGN OF CHANGES FOR COASTAL PARTS OF THE BAY AREA. NOW WE'RE SEEING THINGS ARE LOOKING ALL RIGHT. THE COMPUTER SEEMS TO BE STUCK HERE, SO THAT'S FUN. THERE WE GO. LOOKING OUTSIDE FROM THE TOP OF BLACK MOUNTAIN, ALL SORTS OF FUN THIS EVENING, A LITTLE HAZE, BUT NO AIR QUALITY ISSUES, LOW TO MID-80s IN LIVERMORE AND CONCORD, 73 DEGREES IN OAKLAND, 67 DEGREES IN SAN FRANCISCO AFTER A HIGH TEMPERATURE AROUND 80 DEGREES. THERE IS THAT INFLUENCE OF EVEN A LIGHT ONSHORE BREEZE BRINGING TEMPERATURES TUMBLING DOWN QUICKLY, WHICH IS WHAT WE EXPECTED. YESTERDAY I SAID OVER FOUR OR FIVE HOURS TEMPERATURES WOULD DROP BY 15 TO 20 DEGREES AND WE ARE ON TRACK FOR THAT. TEMPERATURES LATER TONIGHT DROP DOWN MOSTLY TO THE 50s, THE WARMEST LOCATION BARELY DIPPING BELOW 60 DEGREES. TOMORROW IS ANOTHER WARMER THAN AVERAGE DAY, JUST NOT QUITE AS WARM IN SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND, BUT STILL UPPER 70s AND LOW 80s AROUND THE BAY, UPPER 80s AND LOW 90s FARTHER INLAND, IN GENERAL TEMPERATURES RUNNING ABOUT 15 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE. KEEP IN MIND SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND, THE ONSHORE BREEZE RETURNS MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP OFF QUICKLY AGAIN. ALONG THE COAST UPPER 60s TO LOW 70s BEFORE THE DROP KICKS IN, DOWN THE PENINSULA MID-80s AND MID- TO UPPER 80s IN THE SANTA CLARA, INLAND IN THE EAST BAY UPPER 80s AND LOW 90 s JUMBLED TOGETHER THERE. FARTHER NORTH SOME MORE 90s DOTTING THE MAP, 91 DEGREES AROUND CLOVERDALE. LET'S LOOK AT THE HEAT RISK MAP TOMORROW, MODERATE HEAT RISK FOR THE HOTTEST SPOTS WHICH ISN'T THAT FAR UP THE LADDER IN TERMS OF THE HEAT THREAT. WE AREN'T LIKELY TO SET ANY RECORDS TOMORROW. THE CLOSEST WE'LL BE IS HALF MOON BAY, 69 DEGREES THE FORECAST HIGH, THE RECORD 71. HERE'S THE SEVEN-DAY FORECAST. TEMPERATURES DROP OFF BACK TO THE LOW TO MID-60s IN SAN FRANCISCO BY SUNDAY, MONDAY, AND TUESDAY. BASICALLY BACK TO NEAR AVERAGE TEMPERATURES FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND INTO THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK AROUND THE BAY AND ALONG THE COAST. FARTHER INLAND STILL WARM, TEMPERATURES, THE COOLEST A MIX OF UPPER 70s AND LOW 80s. TOMORROW IS THE WARMEST DAY INLAND WITH UPPER 80s AND LOW 90s. ENJOY THE WARMTH
