ensnnd thankfully the answer is no. we have rain around tonight and tomorrow morning. in the headlines, that rain does come to an end by the time we get to tomorrow afternoon. expect those showers to move on and off. on sunday, just in time for halloween. we have goblins out there that want to head out. it looks like we'll see partly cloudy skies without rain. we've had this interesting pattern all day long. we've been waiting for the rain to come onshore. some of the island offshore received over an inch of rain. mainly onshore we've seen a half inch to the north of the bay and to the south, not a lot of rain at all. thankfully that's stayed offshore enough to not really flood us out. 57 in nevada and 61 in santa cruz. like we were talking about earlier, the only thing we've seen in the south bay has been along the beaches. that all happening inland.

a whole different story. the rain continues to move on through. it's been wet for the entire evening on 101 for nevada all the way up through hillsburg and fairfield and the east bay, some passing showers as well. danville, walnut creek saw some rain. we were talking about this rain moving into san francisco, over towards richmond and into oakland as well. won't last very long. now we're using this kind of futuristic product. we're going to start here at 6:00. going to put the time line in motion as we do, you can see the rainfall that we're expecting. we don't want to see the yellow or red. through tomorrow morning about a half inch of rain is possible. once we get into the evening on saturday we begin to see the rain showers coming to an end. the trick or treat forecast looks good. temperatures in the 60s, partly cloudy skies. that means not a lot of rain is in the forecast unless you're well north of the bay. we take it over to texas. game three looks like great

weather. raj is out there. he says the weather has been fabulous. let's take it to tomorrow afternoon, 4:00, the showers come to an end. high pressure builds in from the south. 66 in los gatos and 62 degrees for a forecast high in san francisco. and 56 in santa cruz. seven-day forecast, rain sticks around tonight. we see showers moving on and off, especially to the north of the bay. overnight, showers moving into the south bay and into the east bay. then all the rain comes to an end by tomorrow afternoon for a nice end to the weekend.then then again, like last week the sun returns just in time for the workweek. >> perfect, perfect. all right. >> certainly not a rainout in texas where the giants will take on game three, game four, game five. >> this day next week the baseball season is over. there could be a parade this day next week if things go that

long. you never know what we do know, after enjoying another night, today the giants were right bakt at at&t park and once again hitting the road. the players and their family all boarding buses this morning outside the park. they headed to sfo where a flight to texas awaited them. then a full day of workouts and press conferences in arlington. the giants have a commanding 2-0 lead in this world series. they know things can change quickly with the games moving into enemy territory. and enemy territory is exactly where we find raj mathai. raj? >> good evening, laura. we have no enemies. everyone is friendly here in texas. we are here. the giants are on the field a short while ago. we know this team so well, they have a very quiet confidence going into this. yes, they have a 2-0 series lead. it's not that cliche, one game

at a time. these guys believe they can bury the rangers. they got off the flights, came right to the ballpark and here they go. they're expected to practice for maybe 90 minutes. they cut it short. at this point in the season everyone pretty exhaust. while the giants practiced, after they left the field they went inside the clubhouse. here's the look inside the clubhouse. pretty interesting. everyone kind of ready to go, all the jerseys are hung up, ready to go for jonathan sanchez who pitches tomorrow night. all the players showering up. they are heading to their team hotel. one of the duties the giants have to do after they leave the field in the clubhouse, they have to sign dozens of balls and bats, for sponsors, charity and all sorts of giveaways. it's a mandatory deal. they come in there and sign bats and balls before they head to the hotel. as for what they're feeling, we checked in with matt cain. he's on cloud nine after that amazing performance last night.

we asked him what he did. went right to his family. >> i went to my parents had a hotel room. i went down there and hung out with them and my brother and his girlfriend and my wife. we took it easy and tried to soak it all in. >> it's been nice to have the outburst we did. we know who we are and we're a team that has to do little things to score runs. >> it's not a life or death situation or anything like that. it's a game that you'll work hard and play hard to win. >> bengie molina, the giants' former catcher. you know the rangers will come out strong for tomorrow night. it's their first world series game here in texas in terms of the rangers. it's not a gimme by any means for the giants. we mentioned jonathan sanchez. if you want a downside to all of this, if you want to look really hard, here we go. jonathan sanchez's last start, the ugly incident. he melled down, got knocked out

of the game in the third inning after that back and forth, the near brawl with chase utley. jonathan sanchez in his own words says he has something to prove in terms of tomorrow night. our coverage here on nbc throughout the weekend, throughout the season, we are your giants station. we're teaming up with our good bud disat comcast, the only place you can get croup and kype. flip over toç comcast for themn television. back here in the park in arlington. it's an interesting place here. it's massive. it looks massive. you look out into center field, those are not luxury boxes. instead, those are small businesses. there's jewelers, dentists, lawyers, pretty interesting scene here in arlington. those are small businesses out in center field, something that the oakland a's want to do with their new ballpark in san jose i

just got off the flight. i am fully in jeans and tennis shoes. okay? >> we don't want you to be working too hard. the suit, we need that tomorrow. it's gameday. one giant hurdle was cleared today for jamarcus russell as he tries to break back into the nfl. the question remains, does the nfl want to be broken into by the former number one pick? no answer on that front but what we do know is the raiders former qb will not be headed back to court on felony drug possession charges. an alabama grand jury has declined to indict russell after he was caught with a drink containing codeine syrup at his home back in july. russell, reportedly exciting about the development and looking forward to return together nfl. not so sure that will happen. as for his former team, tom cable may have been able to fake them out all week. it's actually going to be jason

campbell making his third start. gradkowski's shoulder not good enough yet. let's see if the raiders offense can keep this going. >> did he ever. >> a lot of stuff to keep going. >> thanks, laura. we'll be right back. amento polis will give our state's wealthiest corporations a new billion dollar tax giveaway. lobbyists have the ear of people who are just thinking about wealth. when you cut the budget, then you cut these students' opportunities. passing prop 24 can change all that. prop 24 repeals the unfair corporate giveaway and puts our priorities first. vote yes on prop 24 because it's time to give our schools a break.

tonight at 11:00 -- >> you're going to do great. >> it was a golf ball sized tumor and it's now the size of a sesame seed. it was genetic medicine that got this result. see how it could change the future of medicine. that's tonight at 11:00 after an all-new "dateloin." we know it's a big weekend, giants in texas. they could clinch. >> are we going to take a look at the coin tower tonight? >> oh, yes. my gosh. >> city hall looks like that, too. city hall is all orange and lots of people are getting in the spirit, too. or is that for halloween do you suppose? >> it could be both. all the pumpkins are orange. >> it was men to the be, tom. >> any pictures, nbcbayarea.com.

go, giants. [ male announcer ] with jerry brown, it's just one dishonest smear

after another. and another. just a dishonest politician, trying to hide his record of failure. the real brown plan? more spending on out-of-control state pensions. more favors for the big teachers union, blocking education reform. more job-killing taxes and regulations. more of the same old failure from sacramento. job killer jerry brown. always more taxes, more spending, and more lost jobs.
