noticeable change as we do head into the weekend, that trend will continue. in fact, a rapid dropoff in temperatures over the next couple of days. right now in the maps i am tracking some fog, especially south of the golden gate bridge hugging the coastline down towards santa cruz. we have a steady onshore breeze in place right now. and that pattern will continue. i want to go ahead and widen out the view. all of this cloud cover to the north and west. this will be a weather system i will be watching as we do head into the weekend. especially as we head into sunday. as far as temperatures from today we cooled off most areas on average 5-15 degrees cooler than yesterday's highs. san francisco topped out at 64 degrees. still some 90s to report in fairfield, antioch and livermore. san jose a high of 84 degrees. primarily coastside right around the bay. temperatures this weekend cooling off. the extended forecast a little bit of the pump in the numbers. the range from the lower 60s for the beaches.

right around 70 near the bay. temperatures inland barely making it up into the lower 80s by 3 or 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. the weather system i will be watching for your weekend. temperatures tomorrow most areas continue to cool off around 5-10 degrees. the clouds will be a factor in the morning. at least some patchy fog. some higher clouds on the increase into the afternoon hours. windshields will pick up around 5--25 miles per hour. and then into sunday you can see the eventual track of this guy to our south. close enough to bring in a few extra clouds. the coolest air moves in. look at this, a possibility of a few scattered showers approaching the bay area. the highest chance will be for the southern portions of the area. just to our east it's only a chance. that would be for sunday. for tomorrow morning, areas of fog targeting the coast and the bay. those readings in the upper 40s to the low to mid-50s. into the afternoon hours coastal fog range from the lower 60s. no more 90s.

talking about some lower 80s. fairfield right around 80 degrees. oakland and pleasant ton 81. san jose in the upper 70s at 77. san francisco tops out right around 63 degrees. a look ahead at the five day forecast the temperatures continue to cool off for your sunday. thicken up the clouds. a scattered shower. once again the south bay and the east bay on sunday. still some scattered clouds into monday. a little bit of a bump in the numbers. julie and frank, just a couple of days ago talking about record heat. we might be shivering on sunday which is 60s and lower 70s. >> i believe those showers when i see them. >> thank you,

. all right. mark is joining us now with sports. and getting ready for tomorrow's big game. >> oh, yes. but a little american league stuff to deal with, too. the yankees, of course beloved by their fans while everyone else loves to hate them. and you saw a perfect example as to why on both accounts. they are just too good. and they never go away. down 5-0 early. underdog texas trying to sneak in the quick jab. in game one instead devastating defeat for the rangers. although it looked good early for them. cc was roughed up. in particular, josh hamilton just crushes a three run homerun to right. rangers leading 5-1 into the 8th. the yankees come back. brett gardener had all-out hustle diving into first base. now we have 5-2. a-rod comes through. has had problem in the post season. not with that clutch hit there. two run single. all of a sudden 5-4 yankees

down only one. and then robinson base hit center-field. that ties things up 5-5. that sinking feeling for rangers fans when marcus times, the go ahead singles to left. and it is 6-5 final. and there you go. fox meantime is hyping it as the most highly anticipated pitching dual in the history of baseball. that's a little hyperbolic to say the least. but no doubt lincecum couple versus roy halliday a good one. two cy young awards for lincecum. the guy who will probably win it this year. roy halliday but big tim lincecum will focus on what they can do as a team. >> we know what we are capable and what we have to do in the series to score more runs than the other team. other than that it is taking advantage of every run we get. playing small ball and doing all of the fundamentals. we have talked about that all year playing ball the way it

should be played. >> the high school could be a star in the making. out in concord a quarterback ricky lloyd is the name. even sounds like a quarterback. might be one to remember as concord in a grudge match against clayton valley. lloyd flicks it to alex pecca. he will do the rest. 439 yards passing p.m., four touchdowns thrown and he scored two in the fourth quarter. lloyd again and it is a rather short 16 yarder right on the money. a perfect pile there. he has been throwing those all night. 15-14 concord wins. go to 5-1. clayton valley is now at 4-2. from hard knocks to country club settings, out in blackhawk we will go to there first, however, as we go to the south bay for the prize.com open. michael allan holds it with the

approach looking good. allan with a 67 he is two under. and rockomedia another stellar for him. with a 65 he is your leader at minus 13. and the course record yesterday out in blackhawk, encore performance for brittney lincecum. well, nose another store rip. she had problems. today her magic runs out at 14. missed the double bogie. carted -- carded a 76 on the day. and it is beatrice ricari and gladys are tied at 10 under par for the lead after two rounds out at blackhawk. tomorrow, all about the giants. game one against the fillies right here on channel 2, first pitch is 4:57. not 4:450 or 4:53. that's 4:57. roy halliday against tim lincecum. that's the sporting life. got to be 57 for some reason. >> okay. >> that's it right here on

channel 2. >> just to stress that our coverage continues online at ktvu.com and tune into channel 2 at 4:57. >> ri
