bay. but down here in the central bay not a lot of rain until now. the showers are occurring. we've got rain in san francisco ought over the ballpark. rain at alameda, oakland, emeryville. hayward. the rain is moving through rapidly. let's put the movement on this. there is a lot of direction. a lot of north or south to north. translating at a very slow rate off in that direction, the whole system. so i would say by 2 or 3 in the morning it should be mostly out of here. but a chance of sprinkles in the morning. that's saturday. there is the system. you saw it moving east a little bit. just right there. it is slow. because most of the speed is going this way. as it goes this way it is going this way. much faster to the north than to the east. but moving through here. the showers will be around tonight. daytime highs tomorrow in the 60s. not bad. most of your day will be mostly sunny and dry. say after 11:00. before that i think widely

scattered sprinkles in the forecast. tonight's showers stay around. early tomorrow morning a.m. showers. high pressure builds in. that brings you saturday afternoon. kind of nice at 60. sunday all day looks nice. no rain in the forecast for halloween. the forecast tonight then on the computer model will get you to 6:00 saturday morning. those are the light sprinkles i mentioned. that is light stuff. but lunchtime right it is moving out. might be a little drizzle. but i would suspect by lunchtime everybody partly cloudy and sunny and dry. and go into sunday and there is your dry sunday. weather stays north and we stay dry. a good early part to the next week as the rain stays up in oregon. we begin to dry out right into monday and tuesday. go to the world series game three. hopefully only four of these, 67 degrees in arlington. mostly clear fort ball game tomorrow. the temperature on sunday probably about 70 degrees at ball time. or the first pitch time. good weather for the baseball

series. 62 in napa tomorrow. these forecast highs are nice. not quite as warm as they were a few days ago, but still warming up. and then warmer still as we roll into your bay area sunday and monday and tuesday. there is your five day forecast. go giants. i think we are going to get out of there in two games and come home with a parade. >> that would be awsome. >> that's what we are hoping. >> bill, thank you. >> and we will be right back.

. the ktvu, channel 2 news sports report is brought to you by verizon.

. >> all right. mark joins us now. local teams winning ways lately. >> maybe it's contagious. >> it might be, yeah. that would be a good thing. >> we all know what's going on with the san francisco giants. giving a little short shrift to the warriors. they deserve a little love. off to a great start we will take it 2-0. against the clippers tonight as they go to work as it is none other than steph currie doing the work. a teardrop bucket. more currie as he goes down with the two hand jam. 16 points for currie. but a newcomer, we probably need to pay attention to. the name is wright who let the scoring against the warriors with 24. a career night for him. six threes. but the night does have a

problem steph currie already injured in the pre-season had to be helped. the warriors win it 91-101. they are 2-0 for the first time in 1991. check on that injury in the next day or so. but it doesn't look that great. >> things look great for the giants. it could be an all time weekend for the city of san francisco and the giants in texas. with the 2-0 lead. as you see them going through their paces getting acquainted with the one piece of news. pablo sandoval alongside rentaria who has seen a lot of action. pablo will get the call as the designated hitter. bruce boche you can see his team is very relaxed right now. >> two wins doesn't get you anything. and that's the only way to approach it. and tomorrow their focus will be on that game tomorrow night. and it has to stay that way.

and that's not going to change with these guys. and i think they understand, you know, we're playing a very good team. and we have baseball left. we have to keep our focus. all right. after scoring a frab choice record 59 points do you think the raiders will do anything with their offense to mess with it? no. you know jason campbell will be the starting quarterback. they have made that official. get his third straight start in place of bruce bradkowski who had actually taken over as the starting quarterback. he has a separated shoulder. could see action as a backup. the raiders are taking on seattle. and they are favoured. in the meantime, our high school game of the week afternoon rivals and the game tied with newman with the one yard td by phil wright. 21-20 as it is rancho trailing. rancho answers back. three plays later a 52-yard run but their quarterback. he ties the game at 14.

and gore had nine rushes tonight and 10-4 yards on the ground. our first overtime. there is the coin flip. rancho, they go to the hot. and gore with the game winning one yard td. rancho wins 27-21 in overtime. the first time since 2002 that they have been able to beat their afternoonrivals cardinal newman. cardinal newman is 5-3. the high school game of the week. and sandy alder are son was officially named the general manager of the new york mets. don't forget, of course, a big weekend for the giants. a little something going on down in texas. >> a little something in big texas, yes. >> could be a parade we are looking for next week. that's the big thing. >> wouldn't that be cool. >> so nice to win it at home. i don't want them to lose but so nice to win it at home. >> do it on their own lawn, right? >> mark, thank you. be sure to stay with ktvu,

channel 2 news. the latest tomorrow on the terror plots. and tomorrow the giants on the road in texas. >> the highlights tomorrow on ktvu, channel 2 news. good night. >> have a good evening, everyone. >> ktvu high school sports is brought to you by muscle milk and xfinity. our state is in a real mess. and i'm not going to give you any phony plans or snappy slogans that don't go anywhere. we have to make some tough decisions. we have to live within our means. we have got to take the power from the state capitol and move it down to the local level, closer to the people. and no new taxes, without voter approval.

we have got to pull together not as republicans or as democrats but as californians first. at this stage in my life, i'm prepared to do exactly that.
