the a's have themselves an inning and wind upcoming out of that inning. we'll have full highlights tonight at 10:00. but the giants have already lost and it ain't looking exactly great for the a's right now. so things are bound to get better. >> but it's still early. >> that's it. way early. >> thank you, mark. every second leading up to a major earthquake is critical. coming up on the news at 7:00 on channel 36. tech knowledge already exists to provide a warning before a quick hits. it worked last month in japan. but see why that technology may be halted before it hits the ground. before we go, a last look at our forecast. >> here is an opportunity to see what we are expecting into the weekend. we're going to be breezy. clouds increasing during the day. that systems looks like in the overnight hours. take a look at the over all
