cold shark-infested waters without a wet suit, mind you. she reached the remote islands 17 hours later. she is the first person to swim from the mainland to the island. not only that, when she is not swimming she works as a nurse at ucsf children's hospital in the fetal cardiac unit. a swimmer in college. stopped to focus a nurse. eventually she started to swim again. oh, my goodness, paul, what have we done lately? [ laughter ] >> let's go over to weather. >> without a wet suit that is what -- that floors me. >> the guys in the studio here are swimmers in the area, they know her, you have to keep your mind going the entire 17 hours with like math equations or songs or something, right? >> reporter: keep your mind going but, 55 degree water is still 55 degree water. that is quite a feat. for those of us that are not super heroes, let's look at what the weather has in store for us. the

overall pattern will not shift dramatically. the storm track is well to our north. any of the late spring storm systems are aimed at the pacific northwest and western canada. shifting in the upper atmosphere just slightly as they are going to take over. near normal temperatures are going to prevail across the entire bay area. really, the change in the wind direction in the upper levels of the atmosphere will result in a subtle shift for the north bay and the santa clara valley. you are not going to notice too much of a difference. there is the fog taking over. looking from downtown to treasure island. lower 60s in santa rosa, cool day in the north bay. cool wind, you will warm up to a greater extent. still running in the lower 70s the fog, widespread, heading through the rest of tonight. future cast shows spreading away from the coast and well into the inland valleys by early tomorrow morning, a gray start to the day for most of the bay area unless you get up

in elevation above the fog that will retreat out of the inland valleys and making its way back to the coast. the may gray, though, tough to shake along the coast as we head through the next several days. let's take a look at the forecast, low temperatures, the fog, the low cloud cover, keeping the temperatures near or slightly above average in most spots, lower to middle 50s. lower to middle 50s inland in the east bay. antioch, warmer spots, 57 degrees, most of the temperatures will be lower 50s. does not matter if you are along the coast, farther inland. across the board. high temperatures, entirely different story. the temperatures in the north bay, a tiny bit cooler, dipping barely below 50 degrees in petaluma and santa rosa. they are efficient at collecting the cooler air even on foggy nights. let's take a look at tomorrow's forecast. high temperatures and those, quite a bit of a variation, 50s on the coast and 60s around the bay. 70s along the peninsula. and then a mix of mostly 70s and lower 80s inland, right at 80

in san jose for one more day. lower 80s for antioch, livermore. cooler, middle to upper 60s to 70 degrees. evening out the differences heading out towards the end of the workweek and into the weekend. the winds picking up tomorrow. not until late afternoon. stronger gusts, 25-30 mile-an-hour range. there are the numbers popping back on the map. the winds out of the southwest. a pivot is possible as we head towards the end of the workweek and into the weekend. speaking of the weekend. a typical may day in san francisco on sunday for everyone making that 7.5 mile run across the city. the temperatures in the 50s throughout, lower 50s in the start. wrapping up, sunshine peaking through the clouds. it will be a day to layer up or have the layers waiting for you if you choose to make the run in some different attire or the lack thereof. let's take a look at the seven-day forecast. temperatures running in the 70s consistently. if we had three

more days, 10 day outlook, i don't think we would see a lot of change. consistent temperatures around the bay as well. just about 10 degrees cooler in the middle to upper 60s on the widespread bases heading through the next several days, morning fog, giving way to sunshine in the afternoon. for the coast, the morning fog, it will give way to afternoon fog and low cloud cover. maybe a little bit of sunshine going through every once in awhile. talking about consistent temperatures each and every day. the high, 58, 59 degrees, not much change there. just a little bit of coastal drizzle when the fog gets thick, jules? >> paul, thank you. worldwide
