[ music ] well, wrapping up a fairly nice friday across most of the bay area. you may have noticed an increase in the high clouds by mid to late afternoon. those clouds associated with our storm that will impact at least a portion of your weekend. right now the maps on live stormtracker 2 you can see a batch of at least some rain primarily to the north of the bay area. come in a bit closer here. nothing to show you right now. i am highlighting the one area that can pick up nearly an inch of rain from the north bay coastal hills that will pick up the heaviest downpours probably by this time tomorrow into early sunday morning. here is a look at the overall weather story for the bay area forecast the clouds are in place. overnight lows most spots in the 40s. for the weekend rainfall

develops late saturday. still some sunday showers. the extended forecast features partly sunny skies and some mild temperatures. for tomorrow, for your saturday, we are going to hold on to the clouds with partly to mostly cloudy skies. the rainfall will take its time to develop primarily after 5:00 and maybe even closer to 10:00 tomorrow night. there is the possibility we could have a few pop-up showers tomorrow afternoon up in the north bay. especially up towards sonoma county. this system moves through late sunday night and early sunday morning. for sunday hold on to some good showers mostly for the morning showers. as we head into the afternoon scale back on the coverage and also the probability. here is our forecast model tomorrow afternoon at 12:00 showing you some clouds in place. so once again the possibility of a pop-up shower in the north bay. tomorrow night at 11:00 there is that rain band pushing into the region. and the bulk of the activity happens first thing, in fact, early sunday morning. and still some scattered rain showers at 7:00. at 1:00 we could have a few leftover showers but this particular model scales back on

coverage and the probability of some lingering clouds by sunday at 5:00. the saturday forecast at 7:00 43 to 46 degrees. scattered clouds out by there 12:00. 55 to right around 60. by 3:00 still mostly cloudy skies. temperatures on the mild side. we had those readings in the 40s last week. dealing with extremely low snow levels. tomorrow a completely different story with the readings backs up into the lower 60s across a good portion of the region. brentwood is 64. san francisco is 61. fremont tops out at 64. san jose in the mid-60s at 65. the south bay will not be picking up too much in the way of shower activity. probably just less than a 10th of an inch with the approaching system. here is a look ahead at your weekend forecast always in view. showers likely into sunday. mostly for the morning hours. there is a chance of a shower on monday. and the forecast models are scaled back on the probability that tuesday and wednesday will be dry. but julie and frank at least plenty of breaks in the

activity this weekend. if you want to maximize your outdoor plans tomorrow will be the best day. >> thank you, mark. >> a close-knit group of football players from one oakland high school has already overcome incredible odds. now they have one more goal to reach. all 16 seniors on the football team will graduate and go on to higher education, a first for that school. the coach wants to reward them for their good grades and a perfect seen with lettermans jackets but don't have enough money to pay for them. the players say those jackets would mean a lot because football has helped them succeed. >> a lot of my family members are local drug dealers around here. but i chose to go a different route. >> when i got here i stayed with the football team and that kept me out of the streets. kept me focused on my grades. >> reporter: the team has raised about half of the $5,000 it needs for those jackets. and to find out how you can help, go to ktvu, channel 2 news and click on the news tab. >> a new advance in stem cell

adam: we need a good night's sleep. kim: which means a little heat to keep us warm. and a good dose of support for my back. some over the top comfort couldn't hurt. and our perfect dream factory's been built. i'm feeling sleepy already. nighty night.

. well, this isn't something you see every day. a polo match with no ponies. our camera caught it this afternoon at oakland's park.

players used motorized segue scooters to play the game. they organized the matches today. the group says the game is played all over the world. even and an newly accepting gay polo world championship. wow. >> shall we segue over to sports? >> yes. we will. >> they learned they are not quite ready to play with the big boys yet. >> not quite yet. the warriors are to the celtics what the washington generals are to the harlem globetroters. but it turned into a better game than that. al thornton making his warrior debut. the celtics relentless in the second quarter. great ball movement. and he sees allan and that's what he did. the three there. the warriors battling back late in the game. ellice gets three. and they trail by only one with 3:30 left. and under two left steph currie throws the ball away right into the hands of jeff green.

and on the other side they lay it in. they wind up on the shortened 107-101. not ready to close against teams like that. this time of year the pittsburgh pirates on the kansas city royals feel optimistic about spring training. but the giants a lot more than hyperbole. it would appear in case you haven't seen the sweet left- handed swing of one brandon belt yet, have a look. this is the kid trying to win a first base job. and that ball lands way over the wall. his first homerun of swing. the giants wind up winning. he went 2-4 by the way. a couple of rbis. the giants take the victories over the brewers. brandon belt has heard the comparisons with other giant phenoms in the past and he is taking it all in stride. >> any time i get put into a sentence with those three guys it is pretty amazing. i don't know if i am as good as those guys. poseer did some damage with big league pitching. so that is hard to live up to. but it is really an honored to

be considered in a sentence with them. just talking about will clark, too. a split squad activity today for the giants tonight. barry zito looked a little better gave up one run and two innings. as go down to texas despite the three run shot. they lose to the rangers. nfl owners didn't become nfl owners because they are stupid. the players know a good thing when they see it. brighter minds appear to be prevailing. two sides in the labor dispute again meeting today and agree to extend the deadline to the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement another seven days. the players union and owners have another week to try to hammer out a deal before a possible lock-out. today's events continue to give great hope. we will all get our full complement of nfl football come next fall. and that is the sporting life for a friday night. and, boy, brandon belt winds up being a star and starting at first base, giants are just loaded in their effort to

repeat. >> yes, poesies one year and belt the next. >> that would be great. >>
