there being mixed in and pushed down by this high pressure. but we also have this northerly wind, and this is a look at the near surface smoke model where we're seeing the smoke coming from a fire in southwestern oregon, moving into the bay area. it's been happening for days. but at times, those plumes of smoke get a little bit more intense, and that's what we are experiencing for today. now, our temperatures are spreading out. so definitely microclimates with highs in pacifica heading for mid-60s. san jose will be just a little warmer compared to yesterday with a high of 89. brentwood will reach a high today of 105 degrees. so really dependent on where you are as to what kind of weather you're dealing with for today across the bay area. we continue to talk about the heat wave that's been hitting the south and the southwest. phoenix just getting hotter every day, and they've had such a long stretch of these extreme temperatures. today they're headed for 119

degrees, so that's still making a lot of headlines there. every now and then that heat starts to nudge its way into the bay area, causing our temperatures to go up. but at least we do still have the cool coastal air. we're looking for some things to do, where those temperatures are lower. later on this afternoon, you'll be able to check out steph curry's movie at thrives in san francisco. only going to be in the upper 60s there. temperatures drop quickly, especially with the wind picking up. i do think a lot of people will make the beach their destination this weekend, escaping that valley heat. look at our highs throughout the weekend. monterey will be in the upper 50s and the clouds and fog will keep those temperatures down a lot lower compared to brentwood, once again hitting 105. that's the hotspot around the bay area. but it does get a little better for early next week. we'll bring you back to some more seasonable temperatures, upper 80s and low 90s there while a lot of our inland valleys will see those temperatures coming down to the 80s next week.
