6:22 pm
yesterday by five and ten degrees. so yesterday's highs were just in the 50s in many cases. beautiful day today. beautiful day tomorrow. that's the plan. the next couple of days temperatures warm up. as you would expect the days are getting longer. we are looking at temperatures that will get back into the 70s easily tomorrow. upper 60s, maybe a low 70 tomorrow, and then we might touch on low 80s as we get into the five day forecast. so you'll see that coming up this low is 11. and as it leaves the high builds in. and that leaves us with these warmer or higher daytime temperatures. it's going to be nice day tomorrow. going to be a nice day on tuesday. wednesday. what can i show you. well this low is leaving and this was the low. you can kind of see it. you kind of see the swirl down here and the left leftover showers are kind of up here, up around, marysville, up by yuba city in those areas. but just light scattered showers. for the most part, it was sort of a nonevent in terms of rainfall, for many folks in the west slope of the sierra nevada,
6:23 pm
these are the current temperatures. warmer. look at that. right. so even though it's chilly out, it's still ten degrees warmer in napa than it was yesterday, ten degrees warmer in livermore. and then the overnight low forecast. it will be chilly. you'd think it'd be a lot colder because it's so cool today. but a little bit of cloud cover will keep things just a tad warmer. so the model does this for tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon. so beautiful day wednesday tuesday morning tuesday afternoon. and then wednesday we'll see a few more clouds. no big deal. and then wednesday afternoon a few more clouds. so what it all amounts to is really nice day. a really nice week ahead. tree pollens will be something to pay attention to. most certainly the five day forecast shows no rainfall in the five days. actually, we'll go out seven days here in a second, but you can see the temperatures on that top tier generally in the 80s, low 80s and upper 70s right through the week. >> look sharp. all right bill thank you. ben and jerry's is offering up free ice cream this week. the company's famous free cone day is set for tuesday from noon until eight in the evening. customers can choose any flavor
