going to go. festive, isn't it? let's look at the weather pattern. it will stay to our north. there is still an outside chance of a shower or two sneaking down towards us. the bulk of the moisture aimed towards the north coast of california and to the northwest. passing cloud cover over the next few days and a chance of a passing shower. the cloud cover will put a little dent in solar electricity. if we had full sunshine all day we would be 7500 or 8,000 megawatt-hours but we are below that because we will have clouds and sunshine and we have less than 10 hours of sunlight to begin with this time of the year. clouds filling in. keeping us from being too chilly. radar freckles here and there. it is possible tomorrow but be few and far between. i would not bother taking the umbrella with you. statue it in the backseat just in case. clouds and sunshine, outside

chance of maybe a shower or two popping up. the odds lower than 20%. the similar trend once again for the beginning of the weekend on saturday. this forecast model keeps us entirely dry as we head through the first half of day on saturday. there is still a chance. leaving in the 10-20% chance then drops to nothing, sunday, monday, tuesday, maybe a week from right now. wednesday night into thursday that is where we could see organized chance of showers heading our way. that is a long way down-the-line. here is the cloud cover moving in over the valley. the temperatures dropped off middle to upper 40s for the cool spots. lower to middle 50s in san jose and san francisco. ending up in the 40s across the board. again, the blanket of clouds moving back in will keep the temperatures from dropping too far. normally cool for this time of the year. then, with enough sunshine peaking through, warming up to a few degrees above average. 2-4 degrees above average. lowtory middle 60s in the valley. lower to middle 60s for

the entire bay area. the warm spot on the map will be 65 degrees in san jose. the cool spot, along the coast. 60 degrees, a five degree difference. that 60 degree high temperature that is the normal high pretty much the entire bay area for the last day of november. throughout the plont. the high temperatures converging on each other -- throughout the last month the high temperatures converging on each other. january, february, no difference between coastal to bayside to inland locations. that will be the pattern looking at the seven-day forecast as well. not much change from spot to spot. we will see a change in the amount of sunshine. all of the icons show partly cloudy. a bit more sunshine in between the clouds sunday, monday, tuesday. maybe thicker cloud cover heading our way for the middle of next week next wednesday. there is a chance of a passing shower. it is a very limited chance. but, again, if you get a sprinkle it will not last long. not amounting to much more than a

trace. the hint of moisture will be gone in time for the second half of the weekend. we warm up a little bit. the temperatures should be in the 60s on a widespread bases on tuesday and wednesday. early december, that is a good 5-7 degrees above normal. eventually, active pattern. and the year is almost over. >> yes. >> oh my gosh. can you believe it? >> he is one of the pioneers of hip hop culture, helping the bay area get into the holiday spirit. straight ahead in sports, the eagles, all they do is win but they are underdogs at home this weekend when the 49er comes to town. oh, what have we got here? kpix top 5 segment? let's go!
