winding down, but there are a couple lingering showers that will move through for the next couple of hours. we are also seeing all of the rain, the thunderstorms as well as the low elevation snow continuing to move away. it's still going to be a chilly day. we are going to see high temperatures reach the upper 50s and 60 degrees for san josé, and that's the one or two spots -- maybe fairfield reaching 62 degrees, and most in the 50s for today. tomorrow morning, another chilly one as our morning temperatures start at 46 in san mateo. long-range forecast, we're still seeing scattered showers in the forecast. not a total washout but looks like it's looking a little drier, but also as we look out at the extended forecast to see when we will be warming up, may not be until next weekend for spots like san josé. so once again, spotty showers, mainly in the north bay for the

a long way to go because fossil fuel is still in the electricity production, but at the other hand we can have these productions up fairly quickly. by 2030, if we meet the goal that the administration has said, we can have 7% more electricity coming from offshore winds, and that's a significant contribution when you counter it with the other sources of the sustainable electricity that will be developed. >> construction is five to six years away to start building hundreds of offshore wind turbines. go to nbcbayarea.com to see more. there's an ongoing case against an east bay school supervisor attempting to engage
