weather and we will, in some spots, get a nice little amount of rain the weekend. looking now at some very light rain. it's barely being picked up here. but maybe just enough to make the roads wet before you head out the door. and going to work or school. we're looking at some light showers on the radar for san jose and then moving up to 80 and approaching half moon bay, as well. now the temperature is at 58 degrees in concord. 59 in oakland 59, also, in san jose. as our temperatures start out mild, we're getting ready for a soggy day. but still nice for some baseball. i mean, we'll have a chance of rain. we won't be raining the entire game this evening or if you choose you'll watch it here at home. the coverage starts at 7:00, but we will have some temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s. a look at all the microclimates today. don't forget the umbrella seven-day forecast now at the bottom of the screen. temperatures holing steady with a couple days of scattered showers in the forecast.

the east. and left with those clouds on sunday and the cooler temperature trend. keeps it right at about average and drops it back down into the lower 60s for the start of next week. a look at the weekend forecast. we'll have highs today right at about 70 degrees in the south bay. and in the mid-60s on sunday, once again, mostly cloudy skies and a chance of snow in the sierra. let's head over to anthony to get a look at what's happening on the roadways. >> start you in the south bay. talk about showers and the build on 101. no accidents. that's good news. you notice the green on the map denotes wet roads across 101. same deal for 87 starting to see some approaching downtown and over near 85 some slowing, as well. near cupertino and saratoga. the east bay, not much to be concerned about here on this friday. you can see lots of green. that denotes traffic flow without a problem and i want to show you this one little spot there. that is the bay bridge maze and you can see the metering lights
