mr. scott mcgrew. it is 4:31 on this thursday morning. thank you for being with us. we want to check the bright forecast with christina. good morning. >> good morning to you. this could be the best day of the week if you are looking for the warmth. look at the trough out there. in the pacific, we have an area of low pressure that's going to cool us down a little bit. we'll talk about that and what's to come for today. it is friday eve. good morning to you. >> it is friday eve. we are looking at 580 westbound out of the altamont pass. 14 minutes for that. no problems so far for the dublin interchange. coming from the north, you have debris. the debris is part of a tire. there's also a big rig blocking the slow lane. marla, this may be an issue. no slowing because of the light volume of traffic. back to you. >> thank you, mike. in oakland, this is happening as we speak. a rescue going on with a car that allegedly went into the river. christie smith has the latest for us. good morning. >> reporter: we are south of jacqueline square. i wanted to give you a look at what's

mr. scott mcgrew. we missed you. we've got warm weather to look forward to this weekend. excuse me, this week. and as we head toward the weekend, the end of the week, that's when we're going to get some of the best weather. i think we'll see the low 70s once again when onshore flow comes back in the mix. for the next few days it's going to be downright toasty in the east bay especially the tri-valley region. make sure you're ready for. we haven't had weather like this all year. this is the first mini heat wave, significant, that we've had. so make sure you're ready especially if you work outside, got to have the hydration handy. high pressure warming us up all week. this is what we expect. the high pressure ridge is out in the pacific. you can see the clouds arcing up and around that strong ridge. we've got dry sinking air here, kind of compression. so that's what you think when you think of high pressure, it's going to continue to move over us and compress. through the next 48 hours it will set up over the bay area. that's when we see the off shore winds, that means no m

scott budman, "today in the east bay." >> all right. let's check in with christina one more time. good morning. >> good morning to you, mr. mcgrew. we have a very interesting forecast for you today. i want to show you first and foremost when it's expected to stop raining. that will be noon tomorrow. so, we're going to see pretty significant shower activity as we head throughout the week. excuse me, throughout the day today. i think that east bay cities, you are fair game for maybe a half inch up to an inch of rain. our temperatures are only going to be in the 60s today. upper 60s and then take a look at this warm-up toward the weekend. 95 degrees on saturday. so, a very significant change toward the end of the week. very, very unusual to see a cold front at this time of year dipping so far to the south. here it is right now. you see that very well-defined counterclockwise rotation here. the front's pushing into northern california. i think it's going to break apart before it gets to portions of the south bay. may not make to the gilroy but this is what we're looking at. let me show you where the showers are. right now pushing int

scott. what a difference a few days will make. 72 hours between wednesday and friday, quite a jump. so i think it's time to break out those muscle shirts again, mr. mcgrew. >>> a's back in oakland tonight hoping for clear skies. last night a rare rain delay forced the game start time more than an hour backwards. when things got under way, gonzalez got on center stage. he allowed just one hit over eight innings helping the a's get to a 1-0 victory over the marlins. two teams play tonight 7:05. san jose may get a pro basketball team after all or at least close to it. the warriors say they bought the dakota wizards of the nba development league. one source told the bay city news group the warriors hope to move the d league team to san jose. nba team sends players to d league for developmental purposes. right now the wizards are based in north dakota. so we have to hope they will be willing to leave north dakota. >>> u.s. women's soccer team getting their world cup off to a great start. 2-0 shutout over north korea in pool play. cheney and bueller scored tore team usa. the women are off until saturday when they play columbia. >>> coming up the first lawsuit
