see the bright lights on the beach below. >> the right combination of conditions came together where it just created this spectacle of bioluminescence. >> reporter: it's one of mother nature's more impressive displays. bioluminescence, a big word that describes the ability of millions of millions of tiny, microscopic sea creatures to create a living light show. >> in some cases it's for mating, find a suitable mate. in a lot of cases it's to scare off predators. >> reporter: researchers say the sea eares responsible for these nocturnal displays typically don't produce light during the day. you wouldn't be able to see it anyway because it would be overpowered by the sun, but he said to enjoy the display while it lasts because conditions can change quickly scattering or killing the creatures producing these almost other worldly

nightlights. >> it's not continuously happening. they have to be stimulated. you'll see light in breaking waves or the water splashing onshore. a dolphin or boat swimming through will stimulate them to make a flash of light. >> reporter: now it's only when these creatures are here in great numbers that they create these very impressive displays. researchers say they are almost always here at least in some numbers here, but it's only when they're here in large concentration that you get these nightly displays. in big sur, devin fehely, kpix5. an east bay high school student's hard work on the football field is paying off. he's getting a full ride scholarship to college. kpix5's john ramos is at mcclymons high school in oakland where his family and teammates are cheering him on. on this college football signing day they gathered at mcclymons high school in

and young people face plenty of obstacles to overcome. that's why the achievement is seen as a win for those he played with as well. >> and they know that they can come and earn a scholarship, i mean especially for a population of 350 students. i mean it's big. >> reporter: in fact, it's a victory for the entire community. after the signing ceremony a local clothier handed out his donation of brand-new safeties so the team can look sharp when -- suits so the team can look sharp when they accept their championship trophy, these young men of respect pursuing dreams of their own. in oakland, john ramos, kpix5. >> both amani's parents attended college and his father played baseball for st. mary's college in moraga. a lot of celebrities heading to the monterey peninsula this weekend for the at&t pebble beach pro-am. kpix5's kiet do says a former president may be among them. >> reporter: yeah. in fact, we did get a glimpse of president obama. he came in a couple minutes

cooled down today to the 70s, how long they stay in the 70s before they cool down further. nice evening for a stroll on the beach. i'll have your seven-day forecast coming up. >> at 6:00 republicans running for governor gang up on two of the democratic candidates, why calling out their marital infidelities may not work. >> but first the markets closed down today. here's a look at the closing numbers from wall street.

kind of wish i was down at the monterey coast. >> not bad. >> usually highs in the 60s. this weekend we're looking at temperatures cooling down to 65 to 70. >> oh, darn. >> what is happening? it's my job to explain, but it's kind of strange we're talking about a cooldown into the 60s rather than warming up

into the 60s, but that's this february in a nutshell. we'll peek at current numbers near 70. the warm spot is san jose, 72. you've recorded a record high that you set way back in 2016, 76 degrees. you tied it today. livermore 66, oakland 71, hazy sunshine outside. the haze is the same reason for the cooler temperatures. vallejo tonight 47, napa chilly, 41 degrees, redwood city 47, san jose 46 and as you would expect there is still nothing on kpix5 hi-def doppler radar. what changed? you may have noticed the air quality took a turn for the worse and it didn't feel as warm. both are because this ridge of high pressure got closer. it sounds kind of counterintuitive because as the ridge gets closer, shouldn't we get warmer? it cut off the offshore wind. yesterday the wind was coming from the north and northeast which in the fall can warm us to the 90s or 100s. with less of that in february, we didn't get as much warming

today, but the ridge getting closer trapped the pollution which did give us worse air quality this afternoon and you saw the haze throughout san francisco bay and the bay area. futurecast overnight tonight not picking up on the haze or widespread cloud cover. we will roll through thursday which is sunny and friday with clouds offshore, sunny also for the golf tournament in pebble beach. we will have sunshine throughout the bay area. look at the weekend, though, and early next week. we have a cold front coming through saturday which will drop our temperatures down, not give us any rainfall. one computer model brings a few showers into the central valley monday at 5:00. right now we're keeping rain out of the bay area but going cloudier. it's amazing we're talking about a tiny chance of some clouds moving through, but that's really the only discernible change in our cloud cover forecast for the next week because the rain stays away another seven days. warm weather lasts through friday, two more warm days, slightly cooler this weekend with highs dropping to the 60s. widespread rainfall will eventually come back but not in the next week.

highs tomorrow comfortable, mountain view 74, vallejo and livermore 74, mid-70s for napa and san rafael and san francisco hitting 72 degrees. temperatures fall saturday into the 60s for most of the bay area. everybody in the mid- to upper 60s on sunday and by early next week everybody is down to the mid-60s, but the average for early february is about 59 degrees. so each of the next seven days still warmer than what is normal. we'll be right back. i've seen wonders all around the world but what i see here never ceases to amaze me: change.

i see it in their eyes. it happens when people connect with nature, with culture, with each other. day after day i'm the first to see change. to see people go out, and come back new. princess cruises. come back new. sail with the #1 cruise line in alaska. 7-day cruises from $599. visit princess.com
