great family. let's take a live look outside right now from the east bay. you can see you've got blue skies out there, berkeley, a place that's been really nice today. we're looking at about 69 degrees. that's about where we're at right now. tomorrow. 71 another really nice day. and then obviously we fall off a cliff with temperatures. we get to saturday that has everything to do with the fact that we've got some rain coming our way. so berkeley made it up to 70. there you go. 74 in san jose right now are 64 in downtown san francisco. you can see where some of these temperatures have really gotten up their snow right now at 73, 81 in fairfield. so quite warm there. so high pressure has been in control this week. that's why we've warmed up and had all the sunshine. it's backed off a little bit today, but it doesn't really relent until we get into friday night. and that's when this low pressure is going to start dropping in. >> and with it, it's going bring some rain and also some cool air. you start to see those greens and blues. that means the temperatures are changing but notice high pressure kind of hangs out here in the pacific. it doesn't really jet off anywhere. and once this system passes us by the low pressure system, that high pressure will build back in. we're

going to have a really nice week next week as well. but before then we've got some rain to get 3. you can see it's a pretty big system for the west coast. pacific northwest will be picking up an awful lot of rain. even eureka, california, looking for over 2 inches for us. the totals will be less than that. but still pretty significant systems here. friday looks good until we get to the evening clouds roll in. rain is coming in in the overnight hours. which means you wake up saturday a little bit soggy. and then in the afternoon we'll start to see it pull back a bit. but really what we done until we get into the evening and then your sunday, which is cinco de mayo is we're talking about is actually looking good, albeit a little cool. another bonus to rain. besides the obvious reasons, right, that we're always happy to get some rain. it's going to tamper down those allergies that are kind of flying around out there. a lot of the pollen that's getting a lot of people, sneezing. so that will be happening as well. and saturday, a little relief from that. but also on saturday, just chilly right. temperatures are dropping. we'll have the rain with us by sunday. we get some sunshine back. we pick those temperatures back up as we get to next week and you see it is up up up the trajectory there

as we head through wednesday and thursday. all right. coming up, hear the music festival in the bay area that will offer couples a very unique chance. >> have their wedding ceremony.

>> cinco de mayo is sunday and then the south bay. that means low riders will be out this weekend. the sunday low rider parade pays homage to san jose's mexican rootss send us a cent. jose police will take part in a cruise this year. last year, law enforcement closed some highway ramps in anticipation of the parade and some people call that racist

and discriminatory. so they're changing course this year because the city recently lifted its cruising band in 20. 22. happening tonight in san francisco for the very first time, a chance for neighborhood business owners to connect with the community. it's called downtown first thursdays. it's a lot like oakland's first fridays organizers plan to shut down several blocks of second street south of market once a month. it's a free event. there will be art food music for all around san francisco and people should go check it out for the first time tonight. we'll have more on this. actually 05:06am, tonight, people to learn some more details. one of the most highly anticipated festivals of the summer outside lands. coming up and there will be some some a fun additions to the music festival this year. organizers say that attendees can now host their wedding ceremony. there also may be a epreal commitment ceremony vow renewals they can do at the festival all weekend long. there's a wedding package includes an officiant and a wedding certificate. but spots

are limited. yes, if you love outside lands so much as well. >> to that, i will marry you marry house we doing with the weather for today and then office saturday. yes. so saturday is going to be a bit of a washout. but tomorrow's going nice and then sunday is going to die. so we just have that one day. a beautiful day today, though, we are a little breezy out there. so that could be with us throughout the nighttonight. just wanted to show this because the podcast, we haven't done anything to show a long time. >> and while tonight, we won't have much will be mostly clear. notice some of those clouds start building in a little bit because we've got a little weather pattern change coming as we get into the weekend. so that's we're going to friday night. things really start to change in the clouds, move in internet speed. i see a few out there tomorrow morning. if you're out by the coast. >> the rain coming in overnight friday into saturday. it is short-lived. we clear out on sunday and then as you can see, we warm up as we head into the week next week. but just be prepared for those chilly temperatures from friday to saturday will be a little dramatic.
