for the north bay and along the coast tomorrow. the rest of us might see a couple sprinkles out of passing clouds. a similar pattern into early next week, the best chance of showers north of the golden gate right along the coast. let's check out futurecast. it does show more clouds in the north bay to begin the day tomorrow and a chance of showers trying to move in. this forecast model kind of fizzles that as it moves inland. others are a little more enthusiastic about developing additional shower activity. be flexible with outdoor plans in the north bay and along the coast tomorrow, but i don't think you need to cancel anything. we'll see a similar pattern playing out sunday, some passing clouds, cooler temperatures, but the best chance of showers is north of the golden gate right along the coast. that sunday system is going to bring us stronger winds. the winds pick up sunday afternoon, mostly in the 20 to 25-mile-an-hour range, some gusts closer to 30 miles an hour, below wind advisory thresholds, but strong enough considering all the tree damage we've had, there could be a few

more limbs coming down here and there and the winds will be noticeable as the entire atmosphere of the bay prress of storm systems farther to ose en up the winds time to time. in the long range, significant chance of drier than normal conditions for most of the western u.s. in the six to ten day outlook and eight to 14 day outlook from the climate prediction center. it's been a rapid shift from our very unsettled pattern and in the eight to 14 day range, which takes us easter weekend through the following week, looking like a good chance of finally above normal temperatures after such a cold month of march. maybe we can turn things around a little bit later in april. it's going to be a cool start to the month. 40s across the board dropping into a mix of upper 30s and low 40s by early tomorrow morning. we'll warm up a little bit tomorrow, should top out around 60 degrees in oakland. the a's take on the

angels at 1:07 tomorrow afternoon. game time temperature upper 50s. layer up appropriately to protect yourself from the breeze that is swirling around inside the coliseum. highs tomorrow coolest for the north bay and along the coast, near 60 around the bay with low to mid-60s inland and the east bay and the santa clara valley. temperatures step back sunday. it's going to stay cool through the middle of next week. the one chance of showers for everybody is going to arrive tuesday, but until then that best chance of showers stays north and along the coast. we'll see a gradual warming trend by the end of next week, maybe return to close to average temperatures by friday with that warming trend more likely as we head into easter weekend. we are taking a special look back at our crazy weren't. join jessica burch, darren peck, and myself monday night at 10:00 for a first alert weather special, "wild winter lasting impact." we'll see you then. >> we'll see you then. >> okay. charlie.
