9:14 am
forecast, but we're still dealing with those offshore winds to those will continue to be the case for us heading into this afternoon with wind speeds anywhere up to around 40 miles. mph near solano county for the rest of us here in the bay. we are gearing up for some really warm temperatures and low relative humidity now, fire danger isn't too high. however, we do have a moderate heat risk starting tomorrow throughout our inland areas. anywhere from san jose stretch. off into the east bay, a similar trend up near napa and sonoma. county as well. that's mostly in those low lying intersections, though, where it really heats up, and as we take a look at our temperatures today, we're already starting to feel that heat in san francisco yesterday, we were talking about 60s in the forecast today. we're in the upper 70s. eighties just across the bay bridge over in oakland. we had all the way off into the east bay and see a similar trend with 80s in store for us today near antioch, redwood city is similar setup in the down into the santa clara valley by tomorrow, we're going to be warming up into the upper 80s. potentially some low 90s trickled in there all the way off into the east bay. so as we take a look at the next 7 days high pressure moves its way in.
9:15 am
it warms us up. we continue to see sunshine in the forecast for us throughout the rest of this week, heading into this weekend throughout our inland areas where we're holding on tight to those upper 80s until around, son and a at that, we start to cool down just a little bit, at least in our inland areas. notice how much of a difference it is for our friends who live along the bay if you're closer to san francisco and oakland, we also are going to warm up into the 80s. but then we quickly cool down into the 70s by friday. 60s heading into sunday, and then we average out in the upper 60s and lower 70s heading into early next week. >gianna>well still ahead at 9. you upgrades to apple's ipads. we talked to a tech expert live on the latest models. revealed and nothing dims my light like a migraine. with nurtec odt, i found relief. the only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent,
9:16 am
all in one. to those with migraine, i see you. for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. don't take if allergic to nurtec odt. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. it's time we all shine. talk to a healthcare provider about nurtec odt from pfizer. dupixent helps people with asthma breathe better in as little as 2 weeks. and when you can breathe better, what isn't better? this is better.
9:17 am
this is better. that's better. and that. even this. dupixent is an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. it works with your asthma medicine to help improve lung function. that's pretty good! dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's proven to help prevent asthma attacks. it can reduce or even eliminate oral steroids. and doesn't that make things better? dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. tell your doctor right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines including steroids, without talking to your doctor. when you can get more out of your lungs, you can du more with less asthma. and isn't that better? ask your doctor about dupixent, the most prescribed biologic in asthma.
9:18 am
>>well, it's wired wednesday and today. we're talking all about apples lay event. they announced a big upgrade to their lineup of ipads, including a new pencil. so joining us right now is lisa at a chico senior editor at cnet, highly so welcome. >live>thanks for having >gianna>me. i'm excited to talk about this and there is so much to discuss because apple stream there let loose event yesterday so we got a good 1st look at their new ipad lineup and 2 new ipad airs. really? what are the new features? you can tell us
9:19 am
about? >live>yeah. absolutely. so for the ipad air, the big thing is really the new size options that now comes an 11 inch and 13 inch options, which is the 1st time apple is doing this for the ipad air. there's also a processor upgrade. so these new tablets will run on apple's m to chip which isn't its newest m series chip, but it certainly is an upgrade. from the m 1 chip in the previous model, and then another new feature that is maybe a little bit underrated, but i think people will really find it useful. is the new location of the facetime. on camera. it's now on the landscape edge of the tablet so that is easier if you have your tablet and you're propping it up in a standard kickstand or something like that it will feel much more natural to use facetime. on that edge versus the portrait. orientation for the last >gianna>1. i like that shift. i think that will make it a little bit easier when you use them and comparatively, the ipad pros are behemoths for the 1st time ever. apple's is adding to led screens to its products. so how is this going to feel and look for users?
9:20 am
>live>yes. so the big change here as you mentioned is the double olad panel, which apple calls tandem, olad and what? this really does here. is that really increases the brightness and for the ipad pro it's always been an ipad. that's really about the display 1st and foremost, because apple is positioning this as being a computer for creative people that maybe want to sketch and edit photos on the go. so what is doing here is really increasing that brightness and also with ola displays you typically get better. contrast as well. so i think that's something that people who do want to use their ipad for photo editing and things like that will find a lot of use >gianna>out of okay, so i'm learning oleds not led olin, okay, good. i'm glad i know that now. okay, so, really quick. we've got about 30 seconds left. it's not about just the software and the new ipads. we've got a new pencil pro. >live>yeah, absolutely. so the new pencil has find my in it, which can help you find it in case you lose it, and it also has some new sensors that let you kind of have finer control over the pen and paint. like tips that you'll be using as
