peek outside as we get set for the weekend. a live look here at the san mateo bridge where an earlier accident has been. >> cleared. people are moving smoothly in the weather is nice to drive it. it is or finally we haven't had very many weekends like this really all year long so far. but here we go. get ready for a pretty decent weekend around here and around much of the state to that. we've had a couple of clouds low by, but now our skies are clear now for tonight, it looks like we've got some great weather ahead. >> as high pressure, well, still holding off the coastline. so we'll see a few more clouds this weekend. but at least it's going to stay mainly dry. so here's the good news out of the airports coming or going. we're looking good so far out of sfo. yeah, it looks like we've got some decent conditions out there right now. no delays being reported sfo. oakland or san jose right now. looking good there as well. you get away forecast in the monterey bay. we're going to walk away. couple some cool temperatures early on tomorrow and by the afternoon we're going to warm

things up in the 50's, some low 60's a little bit below the average there, but still comfortable toward the afternoon. southern california looking good. how about 71 in anaheim, 70 in pasadena about 69 downtown los angeles, 70 degrees in santa barbara and the high country. a lot of folks been looking for to get up in the high country, chip and hard to get up there this year. we've had a lot of storms rolling in on the weekends to. but i think we're looking good tomorrow. roadways open and clear temperatures will be on the cool side panels of 40's. lots of snow, though, to ski on just a ton up there. 55 degrees and rain on about 51 in carson city. now, if you're sticking around for the full weekend of not coming home until sunday night, there is another storm system rolling in that could bring some snow starting on sunday night and into monday. so be prepared for that. always a good idea to grab your change in keeping with the anyway, especially this time of year as things remain. still a bit on the active site tonight, we've got some mostly clear skies right now. looks we're trying to get some high pressure building in here. can't get that going quite yet. we're kind of in between systems, high pressure, really that ridge sitting off the coast line.

the trough just to the east of us were kind of in between. so occasionally we see this cloud dropping over that ridge back in the bay area, leaving least the door open for a chance of a couple more sprinkles. we've got a chance of that as we head toward tomorrow, back to northern california, seen a couple of scattered light sprinkles right now. and we could see some of that headed our way for tomorrow. all from that system right there dropping in. you can see it now kind of falls apart as it gets here, not much energy to put a slight chance. you might see a couple of scattered showers, at least in the north bay. so all that being said, a long-range forecast, i think looks more promising for us. here comes that front. it scoots on through. and then as we see that will move on by. we've got a little cold air mass beginning to drop in specially on monday. i think we'll see some gusty winds, especially on monday afternoon. and then you can see that big dome of high pressure. see the clockwise circulation around that ridge of high pressure. that gives you the idea that big ridge building off the coastline. and that is going to blunt the storms a little bit only to have another one break down the top of that ridge as we get toward the middle of the week. but looks likely to keep things dry. and then next weekend, can we actually crank out some temperatures in the

70's? that's real possibility as we get toward next weekend. so let's enjoy what we get tomorrow. we're going 50's little cool in the san francisco along the coastline. those temperatures generally in the low to about the mid 50's inside the bay. we've got about 50 degrees in burlingame. 55 in south san francisco. 61 redwood city, the south bay enjoying those temperatures up in the 60's there. maybe mid 60's ending in the santa clara probably some mid 60's in the tri valley to looking like some nice weather in the afternoon. couple high clouds up above. but really overall looks like the pattern, a much improved from where we've been enjoying some sunshine, some clouds over the weekend. slight chance of a couple scattered showers, mainly north of the golden gate bridge. looks like it will be a really kind of a windy day on monday. i think some very gusty winds around the bay area. but i'm thinking next weekend already. and i think it, you know, if we get 70's, how good is that going have those things like that are going to talking about the epic winter of 23, 4 years and years old books are going to be written about amazing, amazing winter. i know folks at home a frightened wondering

how your greenhouse is doing with all the storm update. yeah. it was shredded in the storm. so i'm still working on. put that back together again. so it will be a while still working. but this is the season to start planting, right? it is. but still it's running a little bit cold, though, still. so i still got a couple weeks before those temperatures to have that alien tape hanging yeah, but that didn't even part of story goes that sponsor. good luck this weekend. thanks very much. >> coming up next is popping season in one north bay beach is one of the best places to watch these young sea lions venturing into the water for the very first time.
