and a peek at the home that's going to be built by kid rock who does so puch for so many. >> my philosophy is always help your neighbor first. i said i know there's some guys coming back from this war that need help, too. can we take a look up there in michigan? it's not just, you know, have you been wounded? we tray to find people who really want to better thems, who have really -- who are all around great people. so dan said yes, we'll start looking. and low and behold, sergeant dumar. >> operation finally home has been building homes for wounded soldiers for zech years. i don't know about you, but i always get choked up with stories like that. >> all of us that were out earlier on, you kind of noticed a chill in the air. liver more, fair field, concord,

pretty nice though around santa cruz today. a pretty strong sea breeze going. and, yes, that same sea breeze pumping in low clouds all the way by tomorrow morning. pretty strong winds, southwest wind at 21 miles per hour. air quality stirring up the air pollution, kind of dispursing it out. the bay area looking pretty good in terms of air quality. tonight, areas of low clouds. misty skies for the coastal peninsula and maybe down to san jose. mild temperatures to start the workweek. and then warmer. right now, the satellite view shows that most of the thundershowers that we had that started the weekend now clearly off to the east there. this trough and this little area of low pressure offshore is going to keep that sea breeze going for the first half of the week. we'll see this typical pattern

on the coast. 60s here, still making a run at the mid to upper 80s for tomorrow. here you go in the future cast looking at the cloud cover tomorrow morning. and then as we head towards lunchtime, we'll still be stuck with those clouds on the coast. te temperatures for monday will be close to 80 around san jose. you'll have to head to gilroy to find 90. or maybe around senol you may see 90. in the north bay, winds primarily out of the south. that should keep temperatures from the upper 70s to low 80s. a little bit warmer around oakland. should see numbers closer to 70. the three-day forecast shows temperatures dropping off a little bit more.

come wednesday morning, we'll probably see more drizzle for the middle part of the week. and then as we head towards next weekend, you'll notice the inland temperatures climbing on up. as high pressure builds back, just like we saw at the beginning of this weekend, we may have to watch monsoon moisture. nothing in the forecast yet, but something to watch for heading towards next weekend. >> thank you very much, rob. certainly felt the cool down and also feeling like football weather. david feldman of comcast sports net joins us for a look at sports and let's talk maybe baseball, too, right? >> yes, a big day for baseball. the giants in san diego and the little leaguers back in action at the little league world series. the oakland as playing pretty good baseball. highlights from all three teams coming up next. ♪

cliff pennington scores. 6-0 as. they win 7-0 and sweep the indians. >> it was a good series for us. you know, it didn't feel great on the road. i didn't think we played horribly. we didn't swing the bat as well as we normally have been here the last couple months or so. but, you know, when you come home, you know, getting beat two series in a row like that, it's nice to be able to get in front of the home crowd again. we had some really good crowds this week and on top of it. to win three games like this and sweep a team at home kind of gets you passed a little bit more of a difficult period. >> jients and >> giants and padres making his 23rd start of the season. carlos quinton scores.

3-0. three innings, 3-1 padres. 4-1 padres. cabrera doubles to left. 6-1, padres on top. still 6-1, bottom 8. will venabul off eric hacker who was 405 feet. it's now 7-1, padrers s. they avoid the sweep and win 7-1. that's a look at sports. chris, let's go back to you. >> all right, thank you very much, dave. we're certainly looking forward to see what happens to that team. weather is always a factor, right? >> we're looking at that. a chance of thundershowers for the afternoon. hopefully, those hold off until after the game. whether here, no thund eerstorm. you're going to find some mist

and lots of low clouds. cooler first half of the week. and in the second half of the week, high pressure building back means 90s inland and maybe that's our opportunity for seeing it come back in southern california. >> we don't want any lightning with those showers. we want to thank you for watching this special football edition. another edition of dateline nbc is up next and we'll be back with you at 11:00. good morning! wow.
