26 miles an hour and southeast sfo16. these are sustained winds. even san jose 16. the rain looks to be tapering off there. a little bit of hit and miss showers. we are looking for a calming down of the rain and showery pattern with a breezy blustery day. gusts over 50. some of the east bay hills. 40s and 50s on these temperatures. there goes the whopper of the low. it's spinning right off. it goes right off portland and seattle. as this goes by you will see things rotating in here. the system has some punch a lot of wind out there and some rain. so there might be a few locations get a tenth of an inch or less to over two especially as we said to the north. for many, it's about a half inch to a quarter of an inch.

retirement fund and bart matches this with another 9%. thanks to an accounting adjustment officers have the option of boosting their pay in their final year by having bart pay them the 9% instead of paying it to call calper. >> right before you retire you get the additional benefit. >> this increases their income during that final year which in turn means an increase in their pension. calper sees pension spiking is not illegal. because the pay increase does not just go to one person. bart officials say it's a necessary perk to recruit people for what can often be a dangerous job. time now 6:54. american idol has cut the pack down to 24 semifinalists and the battle of the sexes have begun.
