(voice breaks) i'm alive. we can do this. we can do this. we can rid the world of this terrible disease... so that no mother... granddaughter... sister... daughter... mother... go through what my wife had to go through. this is more than just three days. this is a lifetime.

and fair, good thing it was this morning and not tomorrow morning. >> we had a couple of little girls ourselves who had carnivals. and we are watching it closely but it looks like the storm system is holding off but now, it is looking to make its way toward the bay area. just moments away. some rain may be beginning to come in. and the clouds have been pouring in all day long. looking more ominous all the time as it looks like the raindrops are going to start. if you have evening plans for dinner, make sure you bring the rain coat and the umbrella, you immediate it, folks as we're starting to see the storm system making its way closer and closer. high def doppler radar, picking up moisture near fremont and you can see the main amount of moisture just sitting off the coastline with the main cold front and that is going to be pushing onshore, as we head in toward the next hour or so and it will get wet all around here and there is a responsibility of isolated thunderstorms. a pretty impressive storm system for this time of the year, and it is going to continue to move on by, and on through, and the low will drop into the bay area. that can make for some very interesting weather. as we're expecting the showers to continue well into tomorrow and beyond. and how about numbers outside right now. we have a cool 53. the winds kicking up in pacifica. 58 degrees in livermore. and 57 in san jose. and 58 in vallejo. and if you plan on heading around the state, let's plan for wintry conditions tomorrow. the possibility of isolated thunderstorms into the monterey bay. and the showers into the fresno area. and more rain as you head further to the north and the high country, get this, winter storm warnings in effect up there, and going to expect to see another foot of snow above 8,000 feet. and we're looking at snow down to about 3500. so if you're traveling in the high country the next couple of days, be prepared. it is back to winter up there. some pretty serious stuff over the next couple. here it is right now. you can see the core of the system dropping off the coastline now. and this is likely the path in and around the bay area. that means unstable air will move on through. it will be very cold as it slides on by. so yes, the real prospects of seeing some thunderstorms out there tonight and it looks like on and off tomorrow. computer models, picking up on it pretty well. rolling forward to 7:00. showing some showers showing up around the bay area already. and then as we head through the night, you will see the impulses move by with the cold front. the possibility of some of the thunderstorms. and the gusty winds and some hail. and tomorrow morning, 8:00, you've got the beta breakers. and you've got scattered showers around the bay area. it is going to be on and off throughout the day. the temperatures are going to be unseasonably cool. as we head throughout the day, as those highs generally are only in the 50s. and it looks like more scattered showers will continue to be the case on and off for the day tomorrow, and then it looks like as we get in toward the next couple of day, the cold front moves on by, an then it -- and then it look like things settle down toward the middle of the week. other than that, it looks like things will stay a bit on the wetside around the bay area. over the next few days, as it looks like, yup, we're not going to see high pressure toward the middle of the week. as we expect things to stay pretty wet. it looks like through tuesday, and maybe drying out wednesday and thursday, and next weekend, there is a chance to see more scattered showers and by the way if you plan to head to the beta breakers, it is going to be cold and showers and the possibility of thunderstorms. we are recommending to be fully clothed for that race for tomorrow. that is a look at weather. here is kim coyle with sports. >> good recommendation, all right, the south bay pitcher comes back from brain surgery to throw a no-hitter. and the best pitching staff in baseball shows off its latest weapons. highlights from the coliseum next in sports. ,,,, their starting rotation only 24... it might stay that way for the a's

this player. he makes number 1,000 count. derrick barton and josh willingham come in to score. a two-run triple for dejesus. the a's get back over the .500 mark with a 6-2 win. ross allowed two runs in seven and a third innings today and has been brilliant in his last four starts going 2-0 with a 1.69 e.r.a. and 18 strike-outs in 27 innings. somewhere bill murray is predicting the heavy stuff won't come until later. a 4 1/2 hour weather delay at the players championship. when play resumed, the leaders were able to get a few holes in. graham mcdowell and rick lawt ner tied for the leader and playing at 7:30 a.m. on the east coast. the sharks series with the red wings will go down as one of the best in nhl history. and it was only the second round. head coach todd mcclel en is well aware the games only get bigger now. >> the games in the series that i've been involved in, the national hockey league, your heart gets going, and it gets revved up. i remember winning the cup and how anxious you get, and i felt that this round. you know, and i shared that with the players. we will need a little more poise, a little more composure moving ahead because those feelings will come back a lot quicker now. . >> the sharks won just one of four regular season games with the canucks. vancouver had the best record at home during the regular season. an the sharks are dead even in the post season, scoring 38 goals and allowing 38 goals. rich martinez was a two sports star at live oak high school until one night he was rushed to the hospital and heard the news every athlete hears the most. >> i was pretty shocked. and when they told me, i wouldn't be able to play contact sports again, so i knew football was out of the question, but i was thinking what about baseball? >> it has often been said that the junior year is the most challenging for a high school student. that was certainly the case last year for live oaks rich martinez. after doctors discovered a brain cyst and had to perform two surgeries in less than a month. >> probably after the first surgery, i just remember i was always in pain. i was laying in bed and they would have to come and wake me up every two hours just to put an iv, the fluids inside me. >> two months later, rich returned to school. but he had one final hurdle to clear before getting back on the field. >> my mom probably didn't want me to play it. because she thought it was too dangerous though. but i told them that i want to play. i love baseball. so eventually, i got to them. >> and everybody was pulling for him that he would be able to play again, because he had such a passion for the game, and we're just thrilled that he is able to still able to compete and obviously at a high level. >> talking to rich, you would never know what he has been through. but watching him play, there is one clear symbol of his past. >> i felt a little unusual, but i got used to it after a while. until i start getting sweaty, it gets a little slippery, but that's fine. i don't care. >> obviously, he has gone through more than what most kids go through in a lifetime but he is young. it puts things in perspective. it is a baseball game. it is high school baseball. so we're out here to teach them life lessons. and you know, he has learned a lot of lessons with what he has gone through. >> rich has been the acorn's best pitcher this season. and a couple weeks ago, the soft-spoken senior made a bold statement on the mound. letting everyone know he was indeed all the way back. >> i was just walking over here, i gave my teammates a high five and stuff and the announcer was like ritchie martinez threw a no -- no hitter and i was like whoa, i did? i was shocked. i didn't know. that is a pretty good accomplishment. it is pretty hard to throw a
