markh hamill tweeted he was the gentlest of giants. >> certainly left his mark. >>> let's turn our attention to the weather forecast for the weekend. >> sandhya patel has the scoop for us. a little bit of rain? >> 40 to 50% chance now we're going to see showers beginning sunday late night. dan and ama, i want to show you live doppler 7 right now. there are some high clouds passing through a little bit of fog. those clouds are coming in advance of the system that is just spinning off the coast. so here's what it's going to do. it's going to inch its way closer to the coastline and then just park itself right off our coast. when it does, it will spin up some moisture. so we will be getting the possibility of some rain. and it's looking like a better likelihood. so let's check out the weekend. why not. saturday breezy and cooler. upper 50s to the mid-70s. on sunday, which is cinco de mayo, there is a chance of showers late in the day. 50s to 70s, certainly cooler than saturday. here is a live picture from our san jose camera looking at the shark tank. it is a beautiful view tonight. temperature
