6:46 am
into dead center field. eight runs in 3 2/3 as the giants fall 9-3. a's ending their season with a set in seattle. third inning, the pitch. look at marte. guns to second and that goes into the outfield. an error on the shortstop. he's fast. heading home. there is the second error on marte. a throwing error. so two errors on one play. 1-0, a's. two on in the fifth. nelson cruz up the middle. base hit. deuces on the board. it stays that way until the eighth. here it comes, there it goes. danny valencia gets a hold of a fastball up, and he crushed it. his 17th of the year. and the a's win 4-2. on the first day of his indefinite leave, steve kerr was back at warriors practice. steve, come on. listen to the doctor! he went to get treatment on his back.
6:47 am
he dropped in for a few minutes of practice. i'm guessing to spend a few minutes with his new staff member steve nash, who promptly told him to please go home. many expect him to be back before the start of the season. right now it's time for the players to step up. >> we have older young guys. so, you know, even though the young guys are there, we have checked to be on the same page with or without steve. we understand what we need to do to get better. >> college football, the cal bears have a chance to open 5-0 if they can beat washington state this afternoon in berkeley. this is an air-raid against a bear raid. a ton of points here. they beat them 60-59.

6:49 am
but before that we have a few low clouds and fog to speak up. 56 in san francisco. its kind of a cool start out there. 54 mountain view and 52 in morgan hill. up in the north bay some numbers dropping into the 40s. our exploratorium camera. we are up to 50 in novato. you are 46. 52 in napa. 54 in concord. and we will be looking at a fall-like forecast for the first part of your weekend. so a red flag warning is in effect tonight, through tomorrow morning for elevations above 1,000 feet here where wind gusts could be in excess of 45 miles an hour. with that the possibility of rapid fire growth. the relative humidity could drop to below 20% in some of these areas. and at the surface winds could be at could be to 25 miles an hour. so about 2:00 this afternoon notice point reyes. 35 mile-an-hour wind gusts. san francisco across the bay
6:50 am
into oakland. it will be a breezy to windy day, depending on where you are later on throughout the afternoon. so getting started, it's quiet out there with sunny and calm conditions. but gusty winds. a slight chance of a shower and a fall-like week ahead. so as we take a look at what's happening, this system brought the rain for parts of the south bay and the snow for the sierra nevada. this system is really encompassing dryer air. so while we do have a slight chance of a shower, notice the fog comes back late tonight. then you can see just a little bit of activity from monterey to gilroy and most of it is up in the sierra nevada. so you could see some higher elevation snow and the possibility for a slight shower could be anywhere around the bay. but mainly south. in lake tahoe today 68 degrees. 79 in yosemite with low 80s in los angeles. so it is looking a little bit more fall-like with temperatures coming down. once that system moves out of here, numbers will rebound tomorrow. today for the hardly strictly
