13 degrees cooler. you had the rain yesterday. and the cloud cover. most of us throughout the entire day. so certainly a cool average with those breezy winds. we will hold on to the winds. not only today at the coast, but overthe weekend. especially tomorrow. so with cooler conditions this morning, we will have those clouds build up today for a partly cloudy afternoon. no rain. it will be dry and looking for windier conditions later on tomorrow. as things turn up, we are looking it at the seas creating potential problems with the large rip currents and large breakers and sonoma to monterey. 9 to 10 feet already there. certainly keep a save distance from the water. as we look at san jose, 69 today. average highs should be in the low 70s. we are going to stay in the 60s throughout most of the week. and then with that weak weather keeping us cooler than average. it looks like we will be warmer next weekend. so the next system looks to move in wednesday morning with some

rain in the south bay, pushing all throughout the entire bay area. looks like amounts will be light, but, boy, any rain is welcome for us. looks like it could slow you down wednesday morning. 66 today for you in oakland. look for 65 in richmond. some of the warmer numbers out towards livermore at 70. about 3:00, 4:00 in the afternoon. 64 in santa cruz, and if you are headed back into the city tonight for the game, 62 degrees. 6:05. dropping through the upper 50s, west and north wind up to 16 miles an hour and the sun sets at 7:53. the accuweather seven-day forecast featuring very similar temperatures day-to-day. breezier tomorrow. and notice very little change throughout the early part of the week,aç and increasing clouds. hopefully rain on wednesday and we will get to some warmer conditions next weekend. >> i always enjoy the evening games more than the daytime ones. >> should be pleasant. >> lisa, thank you were california is still under a statewide order to save water. so why are some bay area agencies now blasting water out

of their fire hydrants? it may look wasteful but it's critical to keeping your drink water clean. here's abc7 news anchor ama daetz. >> they are flushing their waterpipes releasing 1,000 gallons a minute on to the street. it used to be automatic. fire hydrants end up and left to run. sky velocity water scours the pipe and clearing out sediment and chemicals so they don't end up in your drinking water. when the drought hit many communities stopped to change water, but that's beginning to change. >> we are looking at a full reservoir, which we are happy and pleased about. it's lapping over the top of our boards on the spill way, and that's about as much water as we can store here. >> it provides about 40% of calistoga's water. now that it's full, water officials decided it's time to

clean the pipes. crews let the hydrant run until it's clear. this one took nine minutes. >> it is clearing up a lot faster than we expected. >> they also test the hydrants to make sure they are ready for an emergency. >> we have 170-plus fire hydrants to do. it will take a few months. >> this process is also happening in other bay area communities. but not all reservoirs are full and the sierra snowpack is still below normal. not every agency is doing the same thing. >> here in san francisco and east bay mud service area, officials tell us they are considering flushing some hydrants for routine maintenance but for now they say they are still only doing it when absolutely necessary. >> in the south bay the san jose water company is one of the first to use a new truck based flushing system that saves water. it shows out the truck cop next to hydrants and flushes the pipes by running water through a filter so very. >> water ends up on the street.

san jose's system costs half a million dollars and many districts don't have the money. so for now expect most agencies to keep flushing their pipes the old-fashioned way. >> and that was abc7 news anchor ama daetz reporting. if you see water flush out of the hydrants, don't assume the drought is over. the state water board is expected to decide next month whether to ease up on current restrictions. >> coming up, the annual cesar chavez parade in san francisco. how

>> holmes are the winning numbers from last night's mega-millions draw. nobody picked all six so tuesday night's jackpot goes up to $108 million. happening today, the annual

cesar chavez parade and festival in the physician district. it's one of the city's most anticipated events. paup raid starts at 11:00 at 19th and delores. if you want to go to the festival, it starts right after the parade. for those driving be aware there are several road closers near the event. next at 6:00, trouble on the track. bart puts its brand few $2 million train car to the test the, and something went wrong. how the agency is responding. also ahead, two children injured in a car crash. how the accident could have been avoided.
