than what we've experienced. it's been chilly, and we will have a good dose of high clouds throughout the day today, 56 in concord. so this is below average. those north winds take over a cool afternoon with upper 50s for you in the south bay 58 santa rosa. and as we get into our accuweather seven day forecast, you'll notice that we're looking at temperatures milder tomorrow. so we're sunnier with some low 60s. bay shore 60 inland, still upper 50s at the coast. partly cloudy on monday. a lot of sunshine tuesday. we get into that offshore flow so we're brighter, we're breezier. and then mid and upper 60s bay shore, our inland valleys and getting into the low 60s at the coastline. so an extended period of dry and much milder days ahead. stephanie. >> all right, lisa, thank you to the ice and the basketball court now, the san jose sharks and the golden state warriors will each try to pull together another win after both teams won their respective games on thursday. san jose takes on new jersey
