it's going to slide through on friday night, saturday. it's going to bring us a great opportunity for some light showers, maybe real rain in the north bay, and a way to blow the smoke out, if you will, and get a lot of it out of here. as you feel the humidity this afternoon, yes, some tropical moisture coming up over the top of us and increased the humidity, so it had a techy feel to it. you may have noticed it, especially in the east bay. that fog is going to thicken up and motor inland. so it will be a lot of fog when you wake up in the morning, and slow burn-off. it's cooler with slow burnoff, which means basic lay cooler day. here is the low. i'm just going to depict the whole move here. so the low comes in and it drops down, and as it comes

down, it brings some clouds, and brings that opportunity for showers mainly on saturday right now. originally i was thinking friday. either way, it's a big weather pattern change. it's a shift of air mass. remember, we had that last time trying to get rid of the smoke. you bring in a low like this, and that smoke is going away, and the fire danger will go down, because temperatures will cool down. there is the fog footprint in the morning. significant, right? almost all 9 bay area counties slow, slow burnoff, and then you get temperatures like that. so a nice mild day tomorrow. and that's the trend. temperatures going down. humidities going up, and rain chances going up, especially on saturday. so here are some numbers for you to ponder and look at for tomorrow. cooler tomorrow than it was today. 80 in morgan hill tomorrow, 82 in the livermore valley. so that's not that hot. there is the five-day forecast. frank, i'm going to see you back here at 10:00 tonight. >> we'll see you then, bill, thank you, and let's hope for

masked up, and big positive if the a's are going to get back into this thing, the reemergence of crush davis. hits a cookie. solo homer. second in as many days, and the a's lead 1-0. fourth inning, though, 3-1 astros, chat pinter, just a mammoth shot. this is one of those things, come on, the ball has to be juiced. 453 feet to right center. valdez a strong 7, gave up only two runs. still 3-2, and martin maldonado. this is all about home runs. he cranks it out, and 4-2 houston. and the first pitch of the reliever, george springer or it's one to left into the pavilion. his second homer of the game.
