winds fairly calm this morning. couple of clouds moving overhead. the temperatures chilly in some of the valleys down into the 30s in santa rosa right now. 47 in san jose. 42 in concord. and 50 degrees in oakland. i think throughout the day today we'll see a mix of sun and clouds. otherwise, some mild temperatures maybe slightly above the average for this time of year. and then more sunshine and dry weather. in fact, some of these temperatures may be near 70 over the weekend. look at all the clouds working their way across our skies now and you can see the direction they are coming from up from the south because that low is anchored off the coastline. so that's going to bring with it more clouds today, then the system drags south and it's gone and we'll see sunshine over the weekend. 60s and 70s in the central valley. clouds in the skies across the area today but staying dry so nice weather on this thanksgiving. temperatures should be mainly in the 60s in the south bay, 67 in morgan hill. 63 in half moon bay. about 66 in livermore.
5:18 am
and 64 in vallejo. inside the bay hazy sunshine and high clouds, about 65 degrees in oakland. next couple of days, we are going to see more sun as high pressure builds in. those temperatures soaring over the weekend but look what happens toward tuesday and wednesdays of next week, the bottom drops out of those temperatures. i think we struggle to get near 60. >> wow. >> and there's a slight chance of showers. haven't been able to say that very often. >> and you're loving it. >> i am, every bit of it. >> we'll be thankful for it because we need it thanks, lawrence. if i told you some young students in pleasanton were learning more in p.e. than in many of their other classes, would you believe me? it's true. but it's not all about pushups and situps. these kids are learning real- life lessons. it's a very special program that caught our eyes and that's why the elementary school is this week's "cool school"." >> reporter: special education students in pleasanton are mainstreaming twice a week at
