water vapor imagery, the area of low pressure that brought us the cooler than average conditions the last couple of days is exiting. it's opened up. it's moved down towards southern california, not before providing the lift for a few isolated thunderstorms earlier today. we have another system coming our way. this one is coming out of the northwest tomorrow afternoon, going into friday, that's going to reinforce that cooler than average pattern for another day. so your temperatures right now in the 50s and the 60s, a live view from golden gate bridge camera. and you can see it's a little bit of a murky view tomorrow morning. low clouds and fog tomorrow afternoon evening. going into friday we're going to see gusty conditions, isolated shower chance and your weekend outlook is sunnier and milder. just in time for pan can purple stride in san jose this saturday? it is really just going to be a beautiful day for walking. a good, cool morning. 53 degrees at 9 a.m. great conditions for walking 1030 in the morning. we're going to see bright skies and that continues. sunshine, but not too warm 62 degrees. milder weather for the

noontime hour 68 degrees. i'll be there. i'm seeing the event honored to be taking part. let's go. hour by hour. a lot of gray sky. tomorrow morning we will see some fog as well. visibility is already dropping along the coast. tomorrow evening we see that second system come in a couple of drops. not out of the question. it's not going to be all over. it's not going to be widespread. but isolated shower chances continue friday morning, 830 and 11 a.m. you will notice and into the early afternoon a couple of pop up showers. not out of the question for our inland areas as that front sweeps through. but really, it's not going to bring a whole lot. couple hundredths of an inch, maybe san francisco, san jose, 8/10 up in crescent city. and look at this for this late in the season, a few inches of snow expected as well. the winds will certainly kick up as that front approaches and then even stronger behind it. so hourly forecast tomorrow afternoon 30 to 33 miles an hour near the coast. still pretty breezy in the evening and then the winds

get stronger friday afternoon, close to 40 miles an hour around the bay and coast and over the higher terrain, possibly even stronger winds. so if you do have some backyard furniture, patio furniture you might want to secure that stuff. make sure the umbrellas don't blow away. 40s, 50s tomorrow morning. watch out for the fog tomorrow afternoon, upper 50s to the low 70s. we'll see peeks of sun, but a lot of cloud cover and breezy conditions. your accuweather 70 forecast is breezy and below average. tomorrow windier for your friday. a chance of a few showers in the morning, and then we're going to go milder and brighter in time for your weekend plans and warm it up mid 70s inland 50s 60s coast side next week. that warmth will hold early on in theeek, so ama and dan looking good.

not because of what's taking place on the field, but rather what's happening in the broadcast booth. earlier this year, jenny kavner became the first woman to be the primary play by play announcer in major league baseball when she earned the job with the a's. this comes 32 years after yankees radio analyst suzyn waldman became the first full time female broadcaster. that means this week's series is the first where two teams with lead female broadcasters matched up. >> the next generation will

good evening. the giants did what their fans wanted. they signed blake snell to a $60 million deal. but he had zero spring training and scratched today. adductor injury it's basically a groin pull. snell's looked rusty. hasn't pitched well as a giant. clearly frustrated overall. >> yeah i was pretty excited about what what i was going to be able to do today if i pitch. so having that was pretty

upsetting. i got to change my focus to get back healthy, get back to pitching. >> so the giants went with the bullpen game. love the tie dye shirt. their second inning bases loaded against ex giant and sean manaea, who's got the buzz cut going after wearing his hair in a big fro for years, manaea gets nick ahmed to pop out to end a threat. goes four and two thirds scoreless innings. so without snell, eight giants relievers pitched and struggled mightily. francisco lindor two homers, giants lose eight two, but take 2 or 3 in the series. a's fans in the bronx to watch the green and gold facing the yankees pick it up scoreless in the first. until that all rise. aaron judge, whom john fisher can't wait to see in sacramento. oppo taco two run blast two zip bronx bombers five nothing game in the sixth. brant rooker, a three run clout, his fifth of the year, but not enough yankees win seven three nba playoffs tonight. heat and celtics in game two in boston, the heat hit 23 threes. tyler herro leading the way at 24 points for miami. they won without jimmy butler. hero
