auto makers have transformed the wagon drawing a whole new crowd to the formerly family vehicle. >> reporter dave has the story. >> reporter: station wagon, but what if it re or a jagwer or a

portia? what's going on he? new life for station wagons with a sporty performance flair. station wagons have been popular in europe for decades though not always called wagons. long rigs, touring cars and so on. but when all is said and done they're wagons. based on the xf sedan it's a nice size and offers car like attributes like a smooth ride. and say hello to portia's first wagon. it bridges the gap between the regular pan america lift bag and the cyan suv. and here's a wagon from an unusual source, buick. this is the regal tour x. notice here too they don't actually call it a wagon. but it is one and quite practical as well. one of the more reasonably priced wagons in this bunch. it has a split personality.

the cargo space when you need it but the rest of the time or even all the time they're like a car. in other words, comfortable and even fun to drive. and if you want something really fun to drive, a corvette wagon. built by long time corvette tutor cal oway cars, the airay is something even they've toured with over the years. and since it's a callaway performance is only limited by your budget. the one you see here will set you back over $150,000. these aren't the station wagons your mom took you to school in and that's actually for the better. they're a newfound niche in the auto industry where practicality meet performance no matter what you call them. dave coons, abc 7 news. and in accuweather today certainly a cool start t the weekend. clouds are rolling in as we

speak. it will be a cloudy start to our sunday. live doppler 7 along with satellite showing you we have no precipitation to talk about but you notice right along the coastline that contour, that is that marine layer returning. a picture outside live sheing you you can get some peeks of sunshine every now and then. but those clouds spreading across it entire region ovnight tonight. you also noticed today that wind. it continue tuesday be active fairfield current wind gusts of 26 miles per hour, winds from time to time about 20 miles per hour. that wind relaxes tonight, but right now it's ushering in some cooler air. that wind is coming off our ocean water that's currently sitting at a cool 51 degree. that's why our air mast today is much cooler than we were yesterday. only 59 right now in santa rosa. that's more than 20 degrees

cooler right now than this time yesterday in the north bay. we're at 74 in san jose. right now san francisco checking in at 59 degrees. so here's the call, over the next 12 hours you have the clouds right now along the coast and they will spin in and around the entire region. so it will be a gray start to our sunday for the majority of the region. dropping into the mid-40s to low 50s overnight tonight. live doppler 7 along with satellite what we have we're kind of sandwiched in between two features. the way winds flow from high to low pressure, that's why you have those winds coming off the ocean water, and those winds will continue tomorrow afternoon as well. so your mother's day planner for your sunday, it's a cloudy start for a lot of us in that traditional pattern in the springtime we'll have those clouds slowly retreat to the coast throughout the morning. and by the afternoon away from the coast we see a lot of sunshine and it will be breezy with temperatures either at or slightly below average this time of year. 74 in san jose.

73 in cupertino. along the peninsula clouds to sun. 64 for san mateo. cooler on the coast. half moon bay only 58 degrees. downtown san francisco it will feel cool tomorrow. into the north bay we go. 69 tomorrow for santa rosa. that's below average this time of year. oakland tomorrow, 65 degrees. 68 that high in freeland. and 71 in san ramon but 74 in brentwood. mother's day sunshine away from the coast in the afternoon. kind of stuck in a steady pattern of clouds to sun at least through tuesday. a bit of coastal drizzle but cool midweek. a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures in the mid-60s to mid70s. can't wait for monday with the western conference finals

bases against one of the best closers in the game and could not bring in a run. frustration to say the least. in another case, this guy has other things o his mind. top of the fourth, two on for chris. crush davis they call him that for a reason. a five run inning for oakland. but the bottom of the fifth yankees even things up. all rise aaron judge. so tied at sixth going into the ninth and the a's roll one out. and sent the sacrifice to left but look at brent gardener, his throw is online. he's called safe, but the yankees challenged. the replay is not conclusive but the call is overturned so it's a double play. neil walker, he ends the game. two off base hit and the yankees win 7-6 theinal there. the giants finally under way

after a 90-minute rain delay. the crowd gave andrew mccutchen. the pirates took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first after a sacrifice fly off. next batter cory dickerson adds on. second inning the giants get one back. ev even longoria, solo shot. actually tied up two apiece in the second inning. fans have waited for the day tiger woods truly returns and that may have been today. in 66 career rounds woods shot his best shot ever, a 7 under par 65. but it's no longer good enough. woods hasn't played the players championship in three years. he shot up the leader board but he's well behind the leader, this man, web simpson.

look at this. chipping from the green side bunker on 11, 99 feet to the hole. scores an eagle. and on the famous island green, 17, simpson it was tee shot, perfection. stays close, rolls to the hole and that's an easy birdie. he's 19 under par after three rounds with a seven shot lead. history on the road for earthquakes against minnesota. san jose with a one penalty kick. and this is his 132nd goal. nine more and he will match donovan for the most career goals in the league. and the earthquakes lead
