downright warm for monday and tuesday. but look how quickly the temperatures drop off with this next system. so we are expecting late wednesday into thursday. here we are 8:00 rain looks to be likely. amounts don't look to be that impressive but at least we get the ridge out of here and maybe things can get a little wet again. highs today ranging from the mid-60s coastside, 68 san mateo, 67 san francisco. up in san rafael and 71 livermore, 72 by fairfield. the accuweather seven-day forecast, warmer tomorrow. perhaps records monday and tuesday. a little bit ever rain possibly late wednesday into thursday and back to dry conditions next friday. so, yeah. >> despite the lack of rain i'm sure many people are excited about your forecast this weekend. especially for president's day, too. lisa, thank you. turning to sports now, pros and celebrities tee off for round 3 of the pebble beach pro am. one of the big name players surges to the top of the leaderboard. mike shumann has round 2
