the old boss for the second straight week, the boss baby tops the box office. the an mated film starring the voice of alec baldwin as a baby with a secret life and mission picked up more than $26 million this week. beauty and the beast, close behind with 25 million. another an mated movie, murfs the lost village debuted with $14 million. rob mayeda here with forecast. some sun, we're going to have rain, some rain. >> the total not as much as we saw last week, but still several days especially if you're in the north bay where you could find some rain drops at times and the first in the series. starting to drop into the north bay later tonight. right now san jose 49 degrees outside, not too much in the way of cloud cover right now. and it's important to point out april usually is a transition month. for downtown san jose just over an inch of rain as we expect to get in an average year so far, not even halfway through the month, .83, a lot coming down on thursday and friday, and looks like we could maybe get close to a third of an inch or half an inch of rain in san jose by the time you add everything up between now and let's say by thursday afternoon. so, active weather making a come back. but the first system notice rainfall expectations highest for areas north of santa rosa, not a lot out of the system. impact area south of san francisco, not expecting a whole lot, a few showers possible in the summit of the santa cruz mountains and some of the inland coastal range hill top, may see a brief shower out of the system. really that appears to be it. temperatures tomorrow night, mid to upper 40s, but the chance of seeing a few scattered showers. notice the temperatures tomorrow afternoon. upper 60s, close to 70 south of san jose. we should see tri-valley temperatures including pleasanton close to 70 degrees. home opener for the giants first pitch 1:35. temperatures at the park should be low 6 0s. few morning sprinkles possible. the skies will clear later in the day. so, there is a look at that system weakening on approach, but notice bigger changes in store for tuesday. monday partly cloudy skies to the afternoon, and by the time we get to tuesday morning, mostly cloudy skies, but notice the rain chances kind of stop south of san francisco. in fact, most of the day tuesday now, really does look like it's just the santa cruz mountains in areas up here in the north bay into tuesday evening around 7:00 seeing the best chances of rain. now by 11:00 tuesday, rain chances extending into the south bay you'll notice late tuesday not a lot of wind to start the week, but by about let's say 5:00, 6:00, 11:00 tuesday, breezy, not very gusty like we had thursday night. the system will have wind. 20 to 35 miles per hour. that kind of precedes the best chance of rain for the rest of the bay area, including the south bay. that's going to be wednesday afternoon into thursday morning. thursday afternoon, friday, saturday looks dry and then late on sunday now looks like we'll see a chance of the showers making a comeback. how this plays out, the seven-day forecast, terry mentioned there are a lot of rain drops across the screen. monday, tuesday, most will be confined to the north bay. the focus wednesday and thursday, that will be the strongest system of the series, then friday and saturday skies clear, temperatures rebound pretty nicely and we'll keep a very close eye on the all-important waterproof easter eggs. right now, i say stay tuned. right around midday sunday could see those raindrops. jeff and terry will have a close eye on the time line next week. >> i think people will settle for half a day, the first half of easter sunday dry. >> the more important half. >> the more important half. rob, thanks a lot. still to come, the powers of settling turns out they can do more than helping you work up a sweat. could help symptoms of a serious condition. we'll be right back with that story. iturno everyone knows exercise is good for us, but cycling is getting some new attention. turns out cycling can help relieve the symptoms of parkinson's. nbc's medical correspondent dr. john torres on a simple and surprising discovery. >> reporter: you would never guess that jed stouffer suffered from parkinson's disease for seven years. because he doesn't have tremors, he doesn't have muscle stiffness and his feet don't shuffle when he walks. one big reason he's so active and symptom free, he said yes to a surprising new therapy. >> slowing down and better, where do i sign up. >> reporter: what did he sign up for? a clinical treatment. >> how do you feel? >> good. >> reporter: researchers at the cleveland clinic finds cycling helps patients stop the symptoms of parkinson's, and do something medicine can't, slow down the progression of the disease itself. neuroscientist jayal berts made a stunning discovery. cycling can increase certain proteins in the brain that help movement and cognitive function. >> so, these changes are similar to what happens when they're on med kapgs. >> exactly right. >> when you have medication you have an increase of activation in this area, similar increase in activation following exercise. so, exercise is, in fact, medicine. >> reporter: to activate those changes in the brain, patients have to do what's called forced exercise which means they're working a lot harder than they're used to working. but it's that hard work that gives them the benefits. to get the benefits, what's the formula? cycling three times a week at 80 to 90 rpm. >> i don't care what condition you're in that's pretty strenuous. >> reporter: that has worked so well he's taken the research out of the lab into the gym. >> the program returned me close to normal. >> reporter: at 60 different ymcas across the country now offering classes called pedestripedaling for parkinson's. >> it turned on a light bulb. it's the difference between pedaling and not pedaling. >> reporter: each stroke towards a better life with parkinson's disease. >> that's my goal. >> reporter: dr. john torres, nbc news, cleveland. >> amazing. former president belinelli paid -- bill clinton paid a visit to
