>> we are joined now by spencer christian, i would tell you, i know the situation down in southern california, but when you see humidity up here in northern california, it is also concerning. >> it is. it feels like east coast weather here. it's getting warmer and we have high humidity here for about three or four days, that muggy feeling, but not -- it's nothing compared to being hit by that storm. his a look at what is happening in the bay area with our winds just breezy as we would expect this time of the day, gusty around san jose, and it's quite a bit warmer right now that at

this time yesterday all across the region. 10-20 degrees warmer. in san francisco it 72 degrees, 79 degrees in oakland, low 90's in san jose and palo alto, 64 degrees at half moon bay. looking westward from emeryville, blue sky there, 88 degrees in novato and san jose, low 90's at fairfield, concord and livermore. a great day on the santa cruz beach as evidenced by the people at the beach. these are the forecast headlines, increasing throughout , scattered light showers develop overnight, cooler tomorrow with a few more showers, dryer with much warmer weather by midweek. our overnight forecast and mission looks like this, we have a few pockets of scattered light showers, and some of this is being caused by the remnants of the tropical storm moving up through the eastern section of northern california, but midmorning we might see a few showers that might be heavier.

ralph downpours are possible, that going away, as more of the remnants move north, though still towards the central valley where we see a few downpours which might come as close as livermore or part of the diablo range and then we dry out a bit. overnight those continue with conditions in the low-mid 60's. upper 70's to near 80 around the bay shoreline, north bay hives low-mid 70's, mid-80's in the warmest region, in the accuweather 7-day forecast you get a little bit warmer on to say, are warmest day will likely be wednesday with upper 90's in the, upper 80's where the bay shoreline, hotter inland on thursday, but a sharp cooldown occurs on friday, saturday and into next weekend. >> now supports from abc7news. >> good evening. this could be the stretch right

-- here, testing whether or not the giants can make it. they have three more to go, and the giants are feeling the heat. they lost 12 of the past 13 road games, they have a lucy street, replacing brandon crawford who hurt -- is her, he launches a solo homer to left, second of his career. the giants taken early 1-0 lead, and the brakes take it back. he loves the show friends, it's a two run shot, his 17th of the year, he gives the giants a three-to lead, which they held until the ninth. ronald cuneo takes off her third, patrick bailey goes into left field, bailey is one of the best throwing out runners and it did not work this time. game time -- -- hide at three, bases loaded. after kirby struck out the previous two batters, joc pederson never had to take the bat off his shoulder to be here. the giants snap their skid with a 4-3 win.

this man is saying put me in coach and coaches like now. jorge mataeo durant deep to center, tony kemp, make the play, takes it bad bounce there, matteo is flying. he goes for the inside-the-park homer, the relay throw is not handled well, and matteo is safe. he did not even need to slide. he had that. gunnar henderson off the right, henderson was a single shy of the cycle but he had two doubles. all he had to do is not hot -- run hard on one of them. but the o's blowout the a's 12-1. all it took was one drive. the 49ers faith. all they need to see, he led the team, no start -- doubt that the starting qb will be brock purdy. like trey lance, he finished 1114, 109 euros, one touchdown and one interception. lance got off to a slow start. people on twitter were saying that he's done, he's coat, last

days in the 49ers uniform. then they change their tune as lance won six of seven on a touchdowns going drive and let the offense down the field for april game-winning field goal. they can got a much needed confidence boost heading into the final preseason game. >> we all want to see him succeed and do great. it's that and put together to drives at the end. where excited for him. >> were on the same page with guys making great place. it was messier than we anticipated but they made replace. >> i think it was a testament to our perseverance, keeping things going and our defense stopping us from losing the game. >> steve kerr takes on and dennis schroder alley-oops,

tice was nice. germany leading by eight and a half, full of three transition times -- ties the game, and then edwards, another three. up 35 points from iran, they go five and zero -- 5-0 in the showcase. spain and england women's world cup finals, 29th minute, although carmona takes the past, buries the footer into the back of the net, storing the semifinal winner on sweden, the lone goal of the match, spain is your 23 world cup champion. at this is wild. after that match, she found out that her father had passed away, the team announced it and she did not even know. she was playing the game, and i guess that one was for her dad. >> what a special ending. i didn't realize that. >> it's wild. to have the highs of winning the world cup and then the lows of finding out what happened to her dad is just an amazing turnaround, hopefully her and her family are ok.

>> quickly, have i been listening to the radio too much when they make this controversy when it comes to the 49ers's situation, i feel like there should be no controversy. >> you don't even have to anything when you say i've been listening to the radio. the discourse around the quarterbacks is crazy. they are tracking interceptions in practice, who does that? --? it's practice. don't worry, brock purdy is your started. >> when we come back, the latest on hillary as it continues to dump heavy rains on southern california.
