temperatures. 62 in oakland. 58 in san francisco. these temperatures are going to come up a couple of degrees. a bit of a breeze tomorrow. you can see outside, it's clear out in oakland. you can see the tribune building. if you can see the flags you would know it's blowing. winds at 25 to 30 miles per hour. these winds will sustain themselves. and look at all the activity in the pacific and it was all missing us. now look at how will activity there is. you see, the bulk of its way up here now. as the days get longer and things get warmer up here. temperatures rise and the jet stream is lower. opportunities for rain at this time become less and less and less. hopefully there'll be something coming. but right now the models stay pretty much dry. 62 in napa. those are right now temperatures. overnight lows get down to the

mid-40s. even low 40s. gusting to nearly 30 miles per hour. significant santa rosa airport. you're hearing the wind if you're out by the airport. usually you see the stronger winds out by the delta but out there in the urban area, there's lots of -- is you expect the wind. san francisco tomorrow you start out kind of chilly. 60s for lunchtime. we skip over the bay to oakland, you're going to be in the mid-60s. oakland will be a little warm. 66degrees. as we take a peak at the five day forecast you're going to see temperatures that rival what you might see in the summer months inland as we get into thursday and friday. we're going to see numbers easily into the upper 80s by thursday and friday. so it's going to seem a lot like summer. the real story here with the strong winds i think tomorrow morning with the chance of

coming up, dubs, brigs.

with three days to go in the season, the western conference was still a muddled mess. the warriors opponent memphis can finish from second to sixth. clay thompson remember that third quarter earlier this year where he was unconscious.

that was clay tonight in the second quarter. he was 10 of 13 from the floor. six of seven beyond the arch. 26 points in the second quarter for the game he went for 42. he had eight three-pointers. his fourth year 40 point game. all of them have come at home. winds up looking like a competitive game. 111-107 but the dubs to get the win. so who will they play in the first round? we still don't know. we are told anthony davis is favored. new orleans wins this game 110- 88. but the thunder win as well. so here's the deal. if the pelicans win their game, they will play the warriors. if the pelicans lose on wednesday and the thunder win on wednesday then it's oklahoma city. that's what we know. >> can't wait to see the play offs. >> let's get here. >> thanks scott. >> and thank you for joining us
