to our south, and an area of low pressure to our north. the two are going to collide for today. for us we're already seeing the impact, but not here in the bay area necessarily. you can clearly see that counter clockwise rotation, a bit of shower activity coming down over tahoe, and we'll see more of that as we head through the afternoon. we pick up daytime heating, that is what is the main ingredients when it comes to these thunderstorms. you need the instable, the heat and we'll have both today. we could see some thunderstorms right here in the north bay mountains as we head through the afternoon. for today this is what you need to know. generally speaking we are kicking off the new day in the 50s, where some of or hillsides are still nice and green. 52 degrees on the peninsula, though i can tell you, starting to turn a little brown, the hills surrounding san jose. we have a better chance for rain, as we head through this weekend into early next week,

but still could see a few drops as of this afternoon. 74 in the north bay, 77 degrees in the tri-valley, about 72 degrees, that's room temperature for us right here in the south bay. if we do sigh any of that thunderstorm activity, the best bet will be over the western-facing slopes surrounding san jose, and the north bay mountains, but the east bay hills, you're fair game for that activity as well. we'll see more sunshine for that thursday, and then the unsettled pattern tensed into bush but we'll get you outdoors, plus we'll tell you what's happening around here, in just moments here's mike there's always something going on. this is going on in the tri-valley, the second of two crashes reported into the system. it sounds like they are indeed two separate incidents both reported over to the shoulder. this added distraction might

that cargo may be precious to rebels fighting the government. >> reporter: good morning. we have eight warships. just within the last hour, a white house spokesperson said we are doing enhanced maritime monitoring, in other words, keeping an eye on the iranian cargo ships in that sea. this u.s. aircraft carrier is hovering in the waters off yemen this morning, not far from seven iranian cargo ships. the u.s. fears they're there to delivered weapons to the rebels fighting yemen's government. >> that's a problem, and we're not sending them obscure messages. we send them very direct message being it. >> providing weapons only exacerbates the violence and instability in this region. >> the u.s. is not part of that. the state department says we're there to reassure or allies and keep shipping lanes over. >> our partners rely on these

for a lot of commerce and economic value. >> reporter: if iran's goal was to scare saudi arabia, it may have worked. the saudis announced they're ending air strikes against the rebels and backing peace talks. but the saudis say they weren't scared off by the cargo ships. they were done, done with the air campaign that they say destroyed a lot of those weapons that the rebels were using, and now of course the concern is that iran might be there to replenish them. they also -- they're not done with this war. >> a very combustible situation. thank you very much, tracie potts. northern california man's long battle to overturn hesz high-profile terrorism conviction heads to court later today. new lawyers will argue their client's previous attorneys was incompetent and failed to find evidence. hayat's father and four other men were all arrested back in

that's where we have the best bet. second to that will be the south bay mountains, and then of course third. you have to keep in mind the high elevations of the east bay hills, but it's nice and mild, we're on our way to the mid 60s. a warmer day with actually more sunshine that what we had out there. 71 on the peninsula, and right around 74 degrees out in the tri-valley, but the unsettled pattern looks to stay with us all through early next week. pretty much the warmest time of the day between 4:00 and 5:00 is when we have the best bet. you notice our future cast is actually picking up some of those thunderstorms cells, and the high terrain. take a look at all this activity we're anticipating. it is going to be very active. we're going to keep that pattern going as we head through the next couple days, but we're so close to the weekend. it's a big weekend around here.

second burst. coming in about 20 minutes, so we'll see those continue to change. just down to 60 in both directions passing through downtown. no incidents reported, but i'll track that. we have your build southbound 680, you saw that icon skip -- i just got word of a crash. over on the shoulder itself is, the third of three crashes, all reported on the shoulders, all slightly different details. but despite that fact, we don't have a lot of slowing through the area. no drama, i do want to show you a live camera out there. still holding very steady. back to you. >> thank you for the report, mike it's 5:50.
