sunset tonight 5:19. sunrise 7:22. high temperatures around the bay in the mid- to upper 50s. the extended forecast shows again scattered showers storm number 2 for friday, scattered showers saturday, storm number 3 on sunday. scattered showers monday. and then drying by midweek. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
