>> here we are checking the weather as a beautiful day again. today it is springtime. it is in full force and it hangs on right through friday. and then things start to cool down. so we peak on temperatures tomorrow. some low 80s kind of hover in the upper 70s, low 80s on thursday, and then boom. see temperatures drop off pretty quick. and it's because of this guy right. fast forward the model. here it is. see right there. so that's on thursday into friday night. here we are into saturday morning early north bay and then central bay area about noon. and then a wet afternoon on saturday. again that could easily change. it just is more the models are a little more lined up on the timing. now that it's not quite as cut off as it was going to be yesterday. the model when i say cut off, it loses its direction from it, gets removed a bit from the jet stream and the jet stream drives it to the east. well, if it gets cut off, it just wobbles out there and it can do a lot of things. well,
6:50 pm
now it looks like it's more wrapped into the jet and it's going to have its flow pretty, pretty uniform to the east, which would put it in here on saturday. that could all change. but that's what the latest model runs show. and we got a ways to go. so there it is. cloudy showers likely on saturday, especially around lunchtime on and then a beautiful day outside. you can see campanile right there. when i was a kid, we used to go there when i was with cal, and we used to used to be able to go up in it, you know, we drink coffee up there and stuff and it's really cool up by the clarions, if you remember the clarions, i guess that's a type of organ, but the, the bells, and if you're in there when they're playing the bells, it was loud. 76in santa rosa today, 74in napa today. tomorrow those days will go upper 70s, maybe low 80s. and these are the current temperatures, which are about where they were yesterday. the winds are enough that it's nasty. pollen counts pretty much everywhere, even along the coast and especially inland, the bay valleys, because the winds are kind of north northwest or northwest. and so that's coming, especially in the central valley , through winters and down through stockton and antioch.
6:51 pm
and the tree pollens are just richter right now. and so you're going to notice them. the high temperatures for tomorrow, the forecast are a little bit warmer than it was today. and the saturday thing. i know it's a bummer because i'm all right. works into my plans. fine but i'll bet you, you know, you know, somebody's having a wedding or. right. or having a graduation or having a soccer game or a anniversary. it's one of those weekends that time of year. and so it's going to kind of throw some flies into the ointment. keep an eye on saturday. it could move around a little bit, but right now it looks like saturday from about lunchtime through the hours in the evening on saturday into early sunday morning. >> all right bill, thank you. the new national retail federation report predicting consumers will spend a near-record $33.5 billion on mother's day this year, according to a national retail federation survey, 84% of adults plan to celebrate the holiday, which falls on may 12th. they will spend an average of about $254 per person on gifts. the biggest spenders are expected to be people between the ages of 35
