it's as if they could care a less. >> we are really not getting a lot of calls. we really aren't getting a lot of e-mails on the topic, either. it shows me that interest in all things barry bonds cooled down recently, especially in the aftermath of the giants winning a world series. they have new concerns and priorities, celebrating this team, not the scandalous stuff that happened in the past. >> reporter: just had a guy off camera heckle me for bringing up the issue of barry bonds. barry bonds, as far as the conviction goes, if it's not overturned, the charge does carry a maximum ten years in federal prison. no one is thinking barry bonds will end up in jail. the worst case for him would be a form of house arrest. it's what the legal experts were saying. bob redell, today in the bay. >> thanks.

rain until the end of next week. a 10% chance of light showers in the north bay. i'll show you why in a minute. cold start, mostly clear conditions. a warmer day on tap mixed with sun and clouds today. a nice weekend shaping up with temps in the 70s. you could hop on a bike this weekend. get outside if you can. clouds streaming in from the pacific making for a mix of sun and clouds out there. high pressure is going to keep us nice and dry for the most part. this is what's happening. the storm track is dividing the state of california into two. nice clear skies over southern california and clouds and showers in northern california. this is where it's going to sit for the next few days. the jet stream is not taking a hike until sunday. what that means is we are going to keep the clouds in the mix and maybe, just maybe a few light showers in the north bay. each afternoon we have that chance. it's going to be a situation where you see the sunshine and a
