leading to a penalty shot. blues are going to go 3-0. they win it at 5-0. here is sharks' coach peter debo deboer after the game. >> i thought we played well enough to come out of that maybe first when we started, started taking on some water. they took over the second period and you know when powell got hit high, we lost composure there, another finest moment. >> reporter: they got game six on tuesday in st. louis. fans and players in tmay like. that's the latest from the ice raj, i will send it back to you. >> ian, well done. who knows what to expect in game six in st. louis and possibly

game seven back here in san jose. that's going to do it for now. there is a lot of injuries for the sharks. just a few minutes ago, it will be interesting to see some of the younger players who steps up in game six because of so many injuries for san jose. >> this one is not over yet. >> more chapters and other chapters to be written. >> raj, thank you so much. those going to the sharks game had to deal with some rain as they got to the arena. heavy rain fell for the day t in downtown san jose. >> hockey fans don't mind. >> around us it means something. >> hail and thunder, snow, everything we saw outside today, still ongoing for a few spots. we'll show you that on the radar view. you can see showers here posting the coast, notice the majority of the lighting bulb there. the future cast has been

tracking now. we should see more wild weather heading off to the east. you are still seeing the downpours and hail producing showers around brett wood and concord. you can see hail producing showers around milpitas about an hour so. morgan hill is dealing with some hail. few more scattered showers moving on through which you see right there. the trend we think at least for the next few hours. this moisture starts to move to the east, we'll begin to see less in terms of coverage of showers in the intensity should drop off at 6:00 tonight. notice how the skies start to clear which will set the stage for a chilling start tomorrow morning. we'll see low 40s and those north bay valley and highs tomorrow, breezy and finally dry for your monday. highs in the mid-60s. here is the reason why we can see the pattern resets beyond monday.

notice what was here. the area of low pressure pulling low and bringing another chance. we are seeing a few showers here and there is a chance of a cool air aloft, a chance of hail producing showers. tuesday, from there we have to watch the area of low pressure. the model kind of keep it apart of southern in evidence and california, with that could be a slight chance of showers again around thursday. so the extended forecast starts to calm things down. not late mayweather, you can see temperatures are still below average. trending a little dryer certainly for your monday. ba we'll have a chance of hail i think on tuesday and another chance on thursday. memorial day weekend, we are talking about unofficial start for the summer. that does not look like the unofficial. hopefully we'll get the showers off to the east. we'll be watching it closely. >> thank you very much, we'll be right back.
