10:51 pm
getaway because it is thanksgiving. saturday morning early there are showers. cold showers. there is saturday a.m., scattered showers. scattered showers into the 7 p.m. overnight saturday more showers. and then sunday they start to breakup. saturday is your wettest day from about noon until about 343 or 4 in the morning on sunday. sunday scattered showers. monday it should start to clear up. the headline again it will be snow. snow especially in the mountains. 64 in nevada. 64 in napa. doesn't mean we won't get rain. a 10th of an inch or a quarter of an inch each day is not a big headline. snow at lower elevations and a lot of snow up around lake tahoe are this early in the season that's a headline. 64 in redwood city. there is the forecast highs. know that thursday is your transition day. as we head into friday not a bust either. the first half of friday is pretty dry. then after lunchtime the clouds come in and it starts to cool off and the showers begin. shows showers will impact what could be a friday getaway for
10:52 pm
the holiday for many folks. that he is always dicey when you have friday and got a little bit of rain. weekend will be wet. saturday is the bulk of this thing. a cold storm. >> just in time for the big game at 12:30. >> it will be wet and cold. not that heavy rain. just drip, drip, drip need jackets and umbrellas. >> just enough to make it

. >> mark is here now with sports. i can feel it, sharks moving, making a move. >> you can, hay? >> yes, right here. >> well as you know hockey season never ends so plenty of good stuff may yet happen for the sharks. but it's got to get a whole lot better for them i tell you that. just another season for san jose with no cup in the cupboard. really let one slip away this evening. 1-1 up in colorado. joe thornton will track it down and find a way to get it to down boil. they lead it 2-1. soon after 3- 1. the sharks lead and paul stasny top shelf with 5:15 to go in the third period and it goes to overtime. just 2:07 in, it's all over as the backhander from kevin porter will send the sharks
10:56 pm
home losers on the shortened. 4-3 despite the fact that they had that 3-1 lead in the third. the sharks did outshoot the avalanche 43-22, yet let it get away. tell you what if they voted for the manage of the year after the world series i don't see how anyone other than bruce boche could have won it but they don't and he didn't. instead national league honors go for a yet deserving bud black who had his padres up into the race right until the final day when nobody ever figured anyone in san diego could have been in contention. dusty baker lost by one vote. his reds won the central division title. in the american league the twins ron gardenhigher beats out ron washington for honors in the a-l. >> i am not going to pass judgment immediately on trades. time will tell you. i can't imagine though how this is popular for the as and their fans with a roster not loaded with winning players.
