ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. let's get to our weather and paul heggen now joining us to tell us what we have in store. i see the weekend is very close. >> it is right around the

corner! we are getting closer and closer to memorial day. it feels like typical mayweather at least that we can see. let's take a look at the big picture pattern. if you are anticipating changes as we head towards the weekend, you will not have many of those in store. ground level, the weather that we experience on a day-to-day basis is not going to change very much. just subtle variations and temperatures. we are still going to have the onshore breeze for the next several days and the pollen count is not going to change very much. it looks like it dropped to the median category saturday, sunday and monday, and temporarily it is. but we are going to be straddling the line between the medium-high and medium categories. it is still mulberry, oak and grass pollen, but walnut pollen is getting closer to topping the list. looking pretty good from the santa clara valley. a little bit of haze on the eeseof ounde

erteaturesin san francisco and oakland and the warmer readings further inland. we are still holding onto 77 degrees right now in concord. the onshore breeze is noticeable and strongest along the coast, but even at sfo where the wind accelerates a bit, sustained winds are only 15 miles per hour. the onshore wind over the next several days will be noticeable but not strong. strong enough just to push some of that marine air into the inland valleys which feel refreshing late in the day. we will see the fog moving into the inland valleys as well but the sun comes up and rapidly goes to work burning the fog out of the valleys. should be clearing out even over san francisco by 10:00 and along the coast will take a little bit longer. i think you will see a t the may

gray will be tough to shake for coastal parts of the bay area. temperatures tonight drop down to the mid to low 50s which is close to where we should be this time of year. a slow warm-up where the fog takes longer to dissipate, so we are going to still be in the 50s along the coast by noon and barely above further inland, closer to 70 degrees. we will see a mix of a few spots hitting the low 80s tomorrow afternoon. some of the warmest spots are far inland and east of mount diablo likely to get up to 80 degrees. otherwise 70s inland, 60s around the coast. everybody said temperatures are within a degree or two of what is normal for the middle of may, which means good dog walking weather once again tomorrow. we have ella who is a k-9 weather watchers! we are going to see good conditions for her tomorrow in sonoma. fog giving way to abundant sunshine and those near normal temperatures reaching into the mid-70s. a little warm for darker-for pets, but otherwise you cannot complain about the

weather tomorrow. temperatures will wa a lile mor a little bit further into the 60s, likely to hit the low 70s for a couple of days sunday and monday. inland parts should reach to around or slightly above 80 degrees tuesday, wednesday and thursday. also, more of a warm up for inland parts of the east bay, then back to near normal tuesday, wednesday and thursday. we are likely to hold onto those near normal temperatures as we head towards memorial day as well. it is never too early to look ahead to the weekend and really never too early to look ahead to a holiday weekend. >> are viewers spotting animals going across the studio? that was a st. bernard, right? >> it was! it was a very large one. >> very cool. thank you. an asian-american ballerina is breaking barriers. norah o'donnell has more on
