the bull's-eye were. lol so, belmont, obviously and even san jose, some decent rain totals here, over the last 24 hours. so right now, not much happening. 52 degrees. and some wet streets. and 50 degrees currently. and, so you have a plane going by. and services international airport. and partly cloudy skies. also 53 in san francisco. and so as we were talking about here, the radar is starting to wind down. and there will be one more wave of showers here. right there, that is going to drop in after midnight tonight, that will bring a few sprinkles, but right now, the drier part of the sunday forecast, likely to be for the morning easter egg hunts. and in the afternoon stay tuned. we will begin the days in the 40s. to see some top showers possible around sonoma and lake counties, and the highs tomorrow, still on the cool side with the mid-60s in san jose.

things off, on wednesday, because later next week we will go from high pressure, back into the low pressure again. thursday and into friday. that is more sierra snow, heading into next weekend and that cold air environment could mean more hail at times. later next week. so the roller coaster ride continues, with a few showers tomorrow. monday and tuesday looking pretty nice outside. wednesday not too bad but thursday and friday back at it again as we will see yet another weekend with some shower chances and some thunderstorms in the mix on friday. >> so that 85% of the showers on the weekend. it is going to go up. >> it wasn't just our imagination. >> thanks. the new soccer team, spoiled by a very close loss. >> we have highlights from bay

ever home game at paypal park, selling out the stadium to a crowd of 18,000. >> the new soccer team put on a thrilling match, coming up just short in the final minutes of the game, kind of a heartbreaker. bay fc got the first-ever call at home, in the 19th minute. dana castellano's, putting it up in the net, and houston dash, launching a comeback first time in and taking the lead, late in the second half with a rebound and the penalty kick. both late in the game, with extra time on the clock, bay fc ties it up again, and, they are floating it into the corner. but, it was a heartbreak, the houston dash spoiled it, with a late goal to lead it 3-2. beating the norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school.

. easter, the celebration of the rebirth of christ. the bible tells us that three days after the crucifixion of jesus, he rose from the dead. the first to witness this miracle were three women who had come to anoint the body of jesus and tend to his tomb. this is the story of the resurrection. [ cheers and applause ] this is it, the tomb where his body is laid. >> mother mary, dry your tears. mary and i are here to support you. >> mary is right. also, when we're done grieving, maybe we should come up with a girl's name other than mary.
