four or five degrees short and a better chance of records tomorrow in another "spare the air" day with cooler air on friday with the showing and saturday, sunday, and monday breezy and wet. check out the pollution, as we look at mount tamalpais to show you seven to ten degrees above average, most of us in the low-to-mid 60's and we are in the upper 60's to low 70s. the only cooler place is along the coast at mid-to-upper 60's and morgan hill could hit the mid-70s. tonight is chilly, 40's inland, and low-to-mid 40's or upper 40's and low 50's at the coast. two areas of high pressure pushing the jet stream to the north and we have potential if poor air quality and near record temperatures. the first storm knocks the high pressure down and the second brings in the heavest of the rain so you can see overnight into saturday morning rain will

spread northbound and southbound across our neighborhood. it will be heaviest on saturday with a low on sunday and the second storm brings heavier rain monday interest tuesday morning. by tuesday afternoon the storm system is gone. look how much potential rain is with this system: 1-3" from the south bay to the north bay. guess how were we are in a deficit? 1-4" if this rain year which began july 1. we can get back on track and we are hearing december could be wetter than average. temperatures are back to average on friday and then mid-to-upper 50's with the heaviest rain on monday. today and tomorrow warm and sunny as it will be the next week. >> thanks, mike. >> an exciting day for "dancing with the stars" fans. someone will walk arm after an amazing show last night.

a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective

to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms.

do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center app, call 1-888-xarelto, or visit goxarelto.com. >> coming up at 4:00, a smart boon, google's new investment to help patients suffering from parkinson's disease. >> and a new trend in money: prepaid cards. are they smart? or risky. a major decision in florida came down to a game of chance in

the city council there was a tie so officials decide it would be up to a ping-pong ball. two men pulled a number from the bag and the one with the highest number won which was the incumbent or the election. >> the first time an election was decided this way and i don't know how the loser felt, probably be the last. >> they should have decided it with an all game of ping-pong. >> definitely creative. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> have a great day.
