. good evening to you. we saw a quick return of those low clouds moving in. and, well, tonight we are pretty much with grey. one exception to that area is the north bay still dealing with mostly clear skies. let's take a look at what is
12:09 am
happening outside our doors where you see the low clouds will join us again in the morning. the winds have let up just a little bit so gusting at times to 20 miles per hour. but blowing a little less. sfo is still reporting 18 miles per hour. 17 in oakland, as well as areas right around palo alto. 15 miles per hour in san jose. and a west southwesterly right around livermore. 18 miles per hour. as we move through the evening hours, the temperatures will continue to fall. right now we are sitting in the mid-50s. we do expect to drop another 4- 8 degrees in the overnight hours. this is the disturbance that actually brought us a little bit of drizzle along the coast with those clouds out there. a little bit of lift. and, well, not hard to get some drizzle out of that. but the trough will continue to move east. and as it does we will see nice improvements in time for your sunday. back it up just a little bit so you can get a better idea. you can almost see the access, the cloud formation here as it continues to sweep through behind it a ridge of air pressure. you see this here, this will be right off the coast in time for monday.
12:10 am
that will bring us back our 80- degree weather. between now and then we will deal with temperatures below average. we will have the low clouds as we wake up tomorrow morning, you can see it here very widespread all the way through and perhaps into the sacramento valley. by 10:00 it begins to retreat. looks like the east way, as well as the peninsula is continuing with the low clouds. and then by noontime it is pretty much burned off with the immediate coastline into areas of the north bay just it looks like marin and golden gate seeing some of this fog. by 2:00 in the afternoon will be the best time we see mostly sunny skies. the immediate coastline will be mostly grey over the day. drizzle possible across the coastline. possible cloudy skies and the temperatures warming 2-5 degrees over what we saw today. the winds won't be as bad. for the overnight hours and into tomorrow morning, 48 degrees is expected as we start the morning in santa rosa. low 50s around the region. 53 in hayward. 52 redwood city. the afternoon highs, again,
12:11 am
warming just a tad. 74 in vallejo. 62 in hayward. and 68 for mountain view. 66 in san mateo. widespread upper 50s, low 60s for the coast. and your extended forecast is there. so a little improvement tomorrow. better as we get back into monday, tuesday, wednesday back into the 80s force the inland areas. 60s for the coast. tuesday and wednesday looks to be the two warmest days so far. >> recall with aing slowly. >> rosemary, thank you. >> thank you. >> the week after apple ceo steve jobs showed up at a meeting, another bay area figure is set to make a pitch for a real estate deal. joe montana is scheduled to appear at the santa clara city council meeting on tuesday. he is expected to present development plans for a luxury hotel on two city-owned pieces of land. those lots are across from the new planned 49ers stadium there. >> coming up next tim lincecum
12:12 am
tries to snap out of his latest slump as he and the giants face the reds. >> we will
12:13 am
12:14 am
[ music ] good evening, everyone. welcome to this saturday night edition of sports wrap. during his five seasons with the giants, we've come to expect a certain standard from tim lincecum. today the cincinnati reds hung a number on lincecum that equaled his worst day in the majors. there is something special about being at at&t park. they brought back some of their
12:15 am
alumni. the sweet swing of him. reds had already scored throw times on lincecum. tame to the plate in the 5th. brandon phillips adds to that lead with a shot down the left field line. and drew comes around to score and it is a 5-0 game. this time the ball is over ross's head. and that scores phillips. it is 6-0. that was it for lincecum who was ultimately charged with seven runs in four plus innings. he hadn't given up seven runs since his rookie year of 2007. after eight four hit innings fisher gave up the long ball to pat burrel with a runner aboard. the first homerun in 96 at bats. that kept the giants from being shut out but still on the wrong end of a 10-2 laper. same two teams finished the four game series. lincecum says no reason to panic. >> i still feel strong and unhealthy or anything is bothering me. just simply getting about a being to being me.
12:16 am
you know driving towards the plate and using the mechanics to kick my rhythm. kind of dumbiffying myself and i am going to stop thinking about that and let my body do what it needs to do. there is inconsistency in that. the giants signed a new player today as a result of the brutal run of injuries that continues to hit the team. veteran bill hall was 0-2 with a walk in today's game having been signed one week after he was released. the houston astros hall signing today was necessitated by the placing of fred sanchez on the disabled list after his shoulder separation last night. well, wins are hard to come by for the oakland as these days. and so that makes it even tougher when one gets stolen away by a catch. not the best night for baseball on the south side of chicago. as and white sox are tied at 1 in the fourth inning. ramone castro un tied it against gonzalez. number three for castro and the 2-1 chicago lead.
12:17 am
