approaches. so wind possibly gusting over 25 miles an hour over weekend. that is only negative i see otherwise we will see sunshine each day and temperatures ten to 15 degrees above average, right through the weekend. the here's a quick peak at your forecast, warm, windy on saturday at 57 for your daytime high, less wind sunday, lose a couple degrees but feeling great at 54 for your sunday. system next week will mainly track up the coast, tuesday into wednesday, our two main models are split on the track, gfs is warmer, euro is colder. that implicates or influences precipitation type that is what i was looking for. warmer model further inland we have more rain. further out to sea more snow. this is a full week away. right new we have signal that is what we can tell you next tuesday into wednesday. we just don't know what the specifics will be. something to keep an eye on. look at that week even, 50's, great. >> after 20's last week even. >> try to tell that to mr. don

we have to play as a team. we have to form that core. once we do that we will be okay. >> as for the team's direct new general manager matt klentak knows they are rebuilding, but he won't put a time frame on when his team will be back, in the playoffs. >> the development of the players, that is what is ultimately going to dictate, you know, how many games we win this this year, next year, following year, et cetera. the players age at different rates at different times. there are injuries that will inevitably happen in every organization and we are no different than that. way that all of that shakes out that is ultimately what will dictate the answer to your question. >> so basically, the new general manager is not going to put an exact year total on when we can expect this team back in the post season. they lost an mlb worst 99 games, 27 games behind the mets and right now it is all about the young players trying to get better, day by day by day.
