rosa. the window is the story. most of the bay area seeing south winds 15 to 30 miles an hour. this helped to bring in more moisture, it feels a little muggy outside throughout much of the day today. that's good news where fire danger concerned. winds coming in onshore. too much wind giving us a wind advisory for parts of san jose mainly off to the south out toward los gatos and down the san mateo county coastline. some wind gusts in parts of the south bay could still get up to close to 45 miles per hour. most of the moisture has moved onto txe north, but the system responsible hasn't gone anywhere sitting right here off to the west around our area of low pressure. this is going to continue to keep the winds going tonight and toss a few more hours our way. as this low traction closer to the coast going into tomorrow and tuesday, we're going to get the combination of some cooler air aloft, daytime heating and more moisture coming in. so we will see more showers tomorrow afternoon than

to turn a bit drier. once into tuesday and wednesday, the moisture moves off to the east. the second half of the forecast we'll see temperatures coming up. highest totals look to be highest to the

jose and into the tri-valley. 60s back towards oakland and san francisco and maybe close to 70 tomorrow in santa rosa. so the upper low impacting us for the next two to almost three days. showers leaving on wednesday. second half of the forecast looks warmer and drier. a pleasant start by the time we get to the next weekend, we'll see is the temperatures climbing up into the 60s and 70s as we get into next weekend and maybe some 80s by next saturday. back over to you. >> rob, thanks very much. we are getting our first look tonight at the updated plans for the new warriors arena in san

3-0 series lead. we're live next from hp pavilion next in sports. ahmed faried from the xfinity sportsdesk. so far the playoffs couldn't be going any better for the sharks. two games both in vancouver and both san jose wins. now they get to come back home. brodie brazil in san jose. the team is copping home under the best circumstance possible. >> yeah, ahmed. nine years straight the sharks have been in the postseason and there's always something special about the playoff opener here at hp pavilion. even more so maybe because the sharks are up 2-0 in this series. they realize, the fans do, that the players can put this thing away or the series out of reach tonight going up 3-0, but the players also realize they don't want to get too overamped in feeding off this crowd. >> you want to win every game. we win tonight, you put a strangle hold on the series. you lose and they're back in it. every game is important. >> we can talk about their desperation level all we want. we're up to nothing. it only means something if we compete and play hard right off the bat here. so our desperation has to be up there. this isn't a series that's a runaway by any means. it's a shot, it's a bounce, it's a post and it can be reversed the other way. it's that even. i don't know where it's going to end. what the final results will be. but i think you could probably put elaine and i up here when it's all said and done we would tell you that. the two teams are that even. >> now the sharks beat the canucks all three times they played in the regular season. vancouver had cory schneider for all three of those games. so far it's been roberto luongo. however, that will change tonight. alain vigneault says he is going with cory schneider once again. we'll see if it makes a difference or

mom got to see the game. a two-run home run from her boy, his fifth of the season. mom happy. it's go to the eighth. josh donaldson getting in on the home run party. his first home run since april
