round of spring rain, but it's not going to do it. this is friday already, and let this play into the weekend, watch what happens. it is stopped in its tracks and pushed back the other way, we will see a dominant ridge of high pressure building by saturday. it'll bump the temperatures up. taking a look at today, we are at or below average but the colors shade into orange as we get into saturday and if we get a closer look, on saturday, daytime highs will be as much as 15 degrees above average. just to show you what that looks like for your part of the bay, pleasant, 88. fremont is 84. here is today. only mid to upper 60s. and on the seven-day forecast for oakland, we can see that trend, although we have 280 by saturday, happy mother's day on sunday, a few degrees cooler but not by much. saturday is the peak, it's the warmest
