1:20 am
to back off a bit around the santa clara valley. walnut creek one of the warmer spots today, up to 76 degrees. also now down to 59 over in oakland. winds still out of the west to 12 high earlier today in the mid 60s, 56 currently and back over to san francisco. kind of a cool afternoon high of only 64. and that winds still out of the west at about 21mph. so what we have to look forward to across the inland valleys, especially wednesday and thursday. highs in the mid 70s to low 80s. then get ready for some changes as we approach next weekend. cooler and breezy again. might see a chance of showers next saturday. we'll have a look at that coming up in just a moment. notice the wind speeds all the way into solano county. typically this will bring in some patchy low clouds as we head towards the morning hours, but notice the temperature and wind progression tomorrow. wind speeds picking back up again like clockwork mid afternoon into early evening. that will once again keep temperatures around san francisco and the coast on the chilly side for monday. so we

1:22 am
into saturday night next weekend , high pressure holding its ground for the workweek and like clockwork, right there. stay tuned. next weekend could begin with some showers, and we will see some cooler temperatures as we roll into friday and saturday. now san francisco the warm up could be around the low 70s by thursday, but it's really the valley locations, inland areas getting a 10 to 15 degree jump at those high temperatures. wednesday and thursday should see some 80s and then stay tuned . first weekend of may. oh man, let's not start this again. let's not. there it is. chance of some showers. just something to keep an eye on. okay, okay. we're not we're not we're not there yet. okay. rob thanks. all right. here's something i always wanted to say on the air. zebras on the loose where the guys were spott

1:29 am
does reduce that, then players will get on board with it. well, there's new guidelines. in other words, player option on wearing them that go into effect this season. all right anthony flores here. now with talking football to baseball. yeah i was just going to say it's going to take one good player to do it during a regular season game. and then maybe others will follow suit. the one challenge is when you're usually when you hit your helmet on a football, it can cause a fumble with that padding. maybe not, maybe not as much, but but we'll see. and speaking of hits, the a's got a big one today. they rallied for their sixth comeback win of the season. the unlikely hero who powered oakland to a victory against baltimore. stick around. sports

1:33 am
going to not do the grade thing right now. cal ripken jr checking out the series finale between the a's and the orioles. he's a part owner for baltimore. the a's down a run with a man on in the ninth. rookie backup catcher kyle mccann comes through in the clutch. he slams the go ahead two run shot. the a's rally for a seven six win. it's their sixth comeback victory of the season. i was going to take till i got a strike and then once i got that strike, it was battle time and i kept waiting for maybe a curveball, but i put my mind to the heater and i was able to get a good pitch and put a good swing on it. they're pretty special moment for him, but also for the team. i mean, you could see the energy just it was electric in the dugout and obviously the guys are fired up. and it was a great moment for mac, nba playoffs, minnesota and phoenix game four. late in the game, timberwolves head coach chris finch is hurt after colliding with his player mike conley. he was helped to the locker room. reports are he's a torn tendon in his knee now.
