was an impossible to win at stanford and that the job was a graveyard job. after more about how crazy i was to consider stanford, i interrupted him to tell him that i had taken the job. he hung up the phone and told my mother she will be unemployed, coming home and living with us in three months. >> reporter: 45 years as a coach, last 38 with the cardinals. winning more games than any basketball college coach in history, men or women. >> my father was right about one thing, the stanford job involved digging but instead of a graveyard job it has been a gold mine job. >> reporter: her final game as coach was an epic overtime win against iowa state in the second round of the ncaa tournament back on march 24th. >> we could not play another game in maples. if this was my last game, damn there is fun. sometimes it is, you are ready. i just felt i am ready. i never

thought i would be. i kind of just, you know, just felt like maybe i would kind of just keel over on the bench. but, you know, i just. because i love it. i love it. i love it. >> long time assistant takes over as coach. i did an interview with tara after that presser. that first game that she attends as a fan she says is going to be tough just to sit there and cheer. >> yes. >> she, she, she is going to have to have incredible restraint. yes, t-dog. >> all right, vern, thank you. let's head to san jose where the police have a new suspect in an arson investigation. two accept vat fires set in the bathroom of the san jose state campus library. happening just over a week apart from each other. both fires were put out without any injuries. all right, we have been talking about the warm weather. a gorgeous evening, we will go to darren peck now on more on what to expect in the days

ahead. >> i am going to spend this entire visit talk both rain and the cool down. before i jump headlong into all of that, just one more look. that is today, that is exactly what tomorrow is going to look like. these numbers on the floor are what tomorrow is going to feel like. in the lower 80s. a fantastic day tomorrow, now that we covered that, let's get into the details on what is coming our way from this next system. we will say good-bye to the temperatures for tomorrow. we will go up to the gulf of alaska. that is part of the reason why this system will bring our day time highs into the upper 50s. when you watch it develop, go south. this is where we left off. the band on the widespread rain as we get into the early hours on saturday. like the predawn darkness. that is really when the bulk of the rain will come through with this one. and then by sunrise. it will pass, then, in the afternoon, on-again, off-again scattered showers pretty much throughout the rest

of saturday afternoon. one more look at that, we will step it down for a closer look. there are interesting details that show up on here. it is not just that you can see the widespread rain when you look at it this way and pick out the time there, we are looking at 1:00, 2:00 a.m. as we play it forward, that is still pretty much before sunrise when the bulk of the rainfall, watch what happens as this line of heavier rain moves off to the east. seeing snow show up right there. and that is late morning. so, cold enough snow level gets down to probably 3,000 feet. not a lot of snow. probably going to get a dusting of snow on mount hamilton. then, saturday afternoon. so, after that, widespread steady rain has moved off to the east. watch the center. you can see the counterclockwise rotation to this as that comes onshore. that is where we are going to be for saturday afternoon and sunday. that rotation it is important because it shows us the best point where we are right in the middle of the system that is where there is typically more instability.

more scattered showers, and a few scattered thunderstorms and yes, on sunday, we are still kind of in it. right there as we get towards sunday afternoon and evening. finally leaves, we are done. so, unfortunately we have to keep a chance of scattered showers going through sunday afternoon. should not be a lot of rain on sunday. the bulk of what will fall here, that is a descent amount of rain. speaking of saturday, just a review on what it will feel like. we started out looking at the day time highs on the virtual map for tomorrow. a lot of 80s on here, put on saturday's day time highs and the contrast is stark. 50s like upper 50s but still. 50s. so, you are getting two days here in the lower 80s. by, saturday, you get to the weekend when you are finally free, you know, if you are a monday through friday. to get out and enjoy this. it is gone, it is like we whiplashed right back into winter. especially when you consider the fact that we are going to get light snow

on the mountains. let's put it in the seven-day forecast. starting off by taking a look at inland parts of the bay area first. you will see the temperature swings and you will see it. sunday got rain on it. sunday's rain does not look impressive. you should get plenty of breaks on there. by next week, we will be back in the 70s. day time highs, maybe not getting all of the way back up to the 80s lie today. but that is still placing us a couple degrees above average actually by the time we get there. >> all right, thank you. you will join me in the studio with more to tell us how darren made someone's dreams come true today. it is time for feasting with family and

. across the bay area today, celebrations to mark the end of the muslim holy month of fasting. it is all about enjoying time with family and friends and feasting on delicious foods. that is just what happened in san jose today. there was a huge turnout for the annual festival at the fairgrounds. during this time muslims exchange gifts and give back to their communities. in san francisco, the day started off with a prayer on the tennis courts of saint mary's rec

center. while it is a time of celebration the war in gaza was still on the minds of many. still ahead, what is on your bucket list? for one sweet woman it was hanging out with darren peck. she got to do just that and check it off of her list. we will show you, next

. so, what is on your bucket list? i have to think about mine. this evening we made an item on someone's bucket list come true. i should clarify, saying darren peck made that come true. 96-year-old nana. we

will show you video. she is from pleasanton, a huge fan of darrens, it is making you blurb. she watches him any chance she can. her wish was to meet him in person. she got a front row seat in the 3d weather center to watch darren. she loves the new editions, she was joined by her moment who used to teach media communications at harvest park middle school. i think they were fully enthralled by all of this. meeting their celebrity bucket list. how does that make you feel? >> all i did was show up to work today. in terms of fulfilling someone's wish list this was all you. you had lunch with them last week >> they have been asking for years to talk and meet you. so i just said let's just make this happen. so, thank you for taking the time. what was their question that they were curious about when they talked to you? >> they seen the promo where we

make the set look real and i get water thrown on me? >> and here is water right now [ laughter ] >> thanks for watching us and the
