location. north of clear lake, this time tomorrow that will see a chance of rain. as the the system starts to drop down the coast, but weaken as it heads towards the bay area. so during the day tomorrow we'll see the winds picking off of the ocean a little bit which should lead to some cooling for the peninsula and the north bay and the rest of the bay area increasing clouds towards the evening and early monday morning north of the golden gate a few showers in the north bay but in terms of how much rain falls it doesn't look like a lot. in fact, there you go. into sonoma count and parts of napa county and that's going to be about it. just some sprinkles we think as we get into monday morning. overnight you could see those 30s and 40s for morning temperatures heading into tomorrow, least for one more day not too bad. south of san jose, upper 60s again for the tri-valley, we'll see those numbers mostly in the mid 60s for the afternoon. 63 in almead. north bay bit cooler, low 60s up towards santa rosa. 50s to near 60s san francisco to wrap up the weekend. so we'll see increasing clouds tomorrow. north bay showers or a few sprinkles monday morning but there you go, high pressure

winning the battle again for the seven-day forecast. we'll see clouds at times but mainly dry, in fact it does look like we're going to see another warm-up actually as we get towards next weekend which means thursday and friday probably going to look a lot like the weather we had today. 70s in reach again as we approach next weekend. >> it is so weird. >> we need the rain and snow but it's tough not to like a nice sunny week. >> i'm with you. coming up -- >> it's silly of course they deserve a break. >> houtnation's first big welcome home parade for the troops wasn't organized by the government. but two friends who wanted to say "thank you." andhe bay area art project striking and unique it's headed to a big art festival overseas.
