there's a lot of moisture around. not like in texas where it's really storming but the upper storm for this is back here near the texas panhandle. this is going to work its way toward us by the weekend. so that saturday and sunday rain chances will go up. temperatures will probably be held in check in the 60s, maybe the 50s if we expect enough rain. for us might see an isolated shower or storm today, tonight, tomorrow. temperatures today about 74. back in the 50s tonight. winds east to southeast 5, 10 miles an hour. talking about the return of some low clouds and fog by tomorrow morning. 75 tomorrow afternoon. sort of like today. threat for the afternoon shower or storm. thursday and friday, though, i think it will be warmer because it will be drier. we could be in the upper 70s to near 80. then the weekend unsettled saturday and sunday. only in the 60s. drying up by monday. cake decorators pay attention. neat concepts coming up over in tysons. we'll tell you all about it when 9news now returns. >>> i love wedding cak

speaking of showers, live doppler 7 hd, most of the moisture has moved out and you can see why. the close upsatellite, the klum husband cloud moving through--- -- cleared out nicely and freezing overnight. napa is 36, especially in the wind-protected areas. temperatures will drop off. san francisco, 44. we look for mid-to-upper 30s towards the livermore valley area. this is the pressure gradient, low to high. and that's what helped to create very strong winds. this low will push on towards the east. the winds will relax tomorrow. a few clouds out ahead of this warm front, increased monday afternoon, the warm front brushes by extreme north bay communities monday night and tuesday. and that might be able to wing out a few -- wring out a few showers. here's a look at the typing. overnight, notice the clear sky, and it's going to be monday, early evening, 6:00, 7:00, 8:00, when we start to see a little moisture feeding in, and by tuesday morning, 5:00 a.m., much of the moisture centered more or less by the golden gate bridge and then out of here on tuesday, wednesday and thursday, l
