and a moderate chop in the bay and upcoming tides and sunrise and sin set. wednesday five degrees below normal. most accurate seven-day forecast 72 on thursday and showers on friday and the weekend looks breezy and cold. chilly for the kids' parade on saturday but the rain should be long gone. no showing down. tk has the highlights coming up in sports. here is jimmy kimmel with
