came over and say goodbye to us, and they have the last dining experience here. >> the family says they're working on a new venture to keep serving the community. they hope to make an announcement of their next chapter soon. >> checking in on the weather. we've got a pretty nice day. well, we had a pretty nice day today. temperatures cooled down a few degrees, especially inland. temperatures along the coast have stayed cool. this live picture shows you the fog kind of pinched down here that's just coming up over the hill. you know, the more i think about it, i think that might be crystal springs area coming across 90 across by half moon bay. and i think i think san bruno gaps further up here. but you get right now the marine layer is relatively shallow because those coastal hills average you know, they average 1000ft. so that's right where it is. but by tonight that inversion is going to get up to here. and you're going to get this big push of fog inland. and that's that's the game we talk about all the time here. but that's what's happening. boom. it's open. it's lifted up.

that's what's going to happen tomorrow. temperatures will be about the same. and then further inversion lifting, which will make it hard for the fog to form, will occur on saturday and sunday. and despite it will be cooler. but i think we might see more sunshine. so here are the high temperatures from today. so you know, a little cooler. certainly yesterday we had some low 80s. tomorrow we'll see. we'll warm up a couple degrees degrees back into the low 80s. the microclimates i love this map just because can't use it. much of the half of the year. right. and the winter microclimates don't really play out that well. but when you get into the summer months, you get into these microclimates that showed a distinct microclimate characteristics. as you get into the inland bay valleys tomorrow, where you might expect 90s this time of year, you're going to be in the low 80s. and that same map, if we do it on saturday, those 80s turn into 70s. so it's not a huge difference. it's just subtle changes. like we talked, started talking about this on sunday night, and then this is the reason for the further cooling on the weekend. and this is also the reason the low lifts

it up, the low the inversion goes away. and without inversions you can't really have fog. so tomorrow morning's fog forecast big push of it and then it burns back. and you can see the cooling impacts in the central valley. so right those are those are those are 80s. you do see they might try to pop a 90. but places even like chico might be in the 80s tomorrow which is pretty cool. so it is amazing to think that all that cool air coming off the coast can cool up into the central valley, but it does. there is, and you can see the cooling, right? see the green? it's almost like if you just forget the numbers. just look at the green. that's the sea breeze pushing in temperatures running 11 degrees cooler in concord than they did last night at this time. and there's the forecast for tomorrow morning. forecast the next few mornings will be for big fog push and then the highs tomorrow. tomorrow is going to be the warmest day of the next few, because then temperatures will trend down on the bay area weekend. so you can kind of see it here. and not bad. i mean, right. what's it 7980. it's just subtle stuff. but i dare say on saturday, sunday i think we'll see more

sunshine certainly than we did today and tomorrow. >> yeah it was a great one out there today. it will be nice to see the sun again, bill. thank you. bay area filmmaker francis ford coppola was on the red carpet at the cannes film festival for the premiere of his latest epic. >> coppola was surrounded by family members for support following the death of his wife of 60 years last month. megalopolis is his fourth movie to appear at the festival. he won the top prize in 1974 and 1979. ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages. the 85 year old oscar winner says he began conceiving the movie back in the early 1980s. it's described as a futuristic take on the roman empire. it cost a reported $120 million to make, with some of the funding coming from coppola's sonoma wine empire. >> who set a record in the first round of the pga championship today are jason appelbaum will have the story coming up in
