views here. temperatures are dropping off today. it was a cooler day for some parts of the bay area, and that's what we're seeing right now. five degrees cooler in oakland, san jose, six degrees cooler. that marine layer deepening rapidly to 6400ft, which allows it to move over some of the coastal hills and then get into some of the bay side communities, 50s and 60s. right now we have fog. we have mist around half moon bay, and the visibility is down to five miles. petaluma reporting fog, two and a half mile visibility. so you know where i'm going with this. give yourself that extra time. here's a look at what's happening. there's a trough that is developing and it is ushering in a cooler air mass in the form of onshore winds overnight tonight, areas of fog and patchy drizzle. you can see that fog from sutro tower tomorrow. breezy and cooler afternoon. and the weekend forecast is dry and a little bit warmer. so first thing in the morning you start out with the drizzle. you start out with the gray skies 5 to 630 in the morning. and then as we head towards the afternoon, the

fog just hangs around like you would expect to see in the summertime near the beaches. but for the rest of you, you're going to see plenty of sun for your friday afternoon morning temperatures, 40s and 50s. once again, you will need a few more minutes to get to where you need to go, because there will be some damp roadways and pockets of low visibility 50 to 70 on your temperatures. still pretty pleasant weather. and if you are going to the giants game tomorrow night, first pitch 715. it's going to be mostly sunny, 57 degrees as they host the d-backs. ninth inning partly cloudy and breezy, dropping off to the mid 50s. so a good idea to take that extra layer of the accuweather seven day forecast. morning fog, cooler afternoon over the weekend. we're going to go with milder weather like today where we had the low 80s. inland areas will be in the low 80s, 50s, 60s coast side, so that spring warmth carries over into a new workweek and then look at those temperatures drop off. yeah, it's going to turn much cooler. and by thursday we much cooler. and by thursday we may be talking ♪ on your period, sudden gushes happen.

as those guys are still really good, like, yeah, we can, i think we can contend and compete. >> you know, the discussion of those three is, to me, is a much easier discussion when they're still good, which they are. they all showed that this year. so maybe in a couple of years we'll be having this discussion where, you know, they're not as effective. and maybe it becomes more of a ceremonial thing. i do think there's tremendous value in the three of them being warriors for life. it matters that kobe was a laker for life, that that's meaningful to the laker franchise. i think it would be incredible if these three guys could play their whole careers here. that's meaningful matters to our fans. it matters to our franchise. so i hope it happens. but fortunately right now they're they're all still good. >> big nl west showdown. d-backs giants got to bring your a game ball dude. come on. good thing logan webb brought his a game seven scoreless. only allowed two hits. randal grichuk ketel marte and corbin carroll you'll all get nothing and like it. five k's for webb on the night
