greatest in their chosen sport. one who can is tara vanderveer departing head coach of the stanford women's basketball team who announced her retirement yesterday after 38 seasons here on the farm. just a couple of the impressive number. she's racked up over that time. 3, double-a championship winds. 15 final 4 appearances. 22 elite. 8 appearances. 28 sweet. 16 appearances and of course the number the number of them all 1216, all-time wins most among any ncaa coach men's or women's in the history of the sport. but for van der veer, it's never been about the stats or about the accolades. as a matter of fact, today, she said that she's realized over the years she enjoys winning a little bit less than she actually hates losing. and that has been a huge motivating factor for more than anything vanderveer has loved the game of basketball. purely since the 3rd grade and the most special part for her has been the relationships with the

big dome of high pressure overhead. the pacific still remains very active in. so that means of one of the storm's punch through. we start to talk about the prospects for some rain doesn't look like that's going to happen. least not today. probably not tomorrow either. but by late on friday night looks like the storm clouds roll back in and bringing around not only rain but some cold weather too. so here's long-range forecast so far. so good. tomorrow looks great. high pressure overhead. kind of get the sense that ridge out ahead of this front. then as we get into friday, that system kind of park itself right off the coastline and then it comes right down with that swirl of low pressure means we're going to get some unstable air to come along with that. the possibility some thunderstorms to get a little bit closer. there you go. we get an early on saturday morning. you see that peak of the blue beginning to pick up on some snow, maybe on hamilton again as the system rolls on through. but turning more towards scattered showers in the afternoon. so i don't think it will be a washout on saturday. just more showers. the rain coming in the morning turning the showers as we head toward the middle of the day. then slight chance of a lingering shower. more snow up in the sierra nevada. if you're headed that way after that. but we start to clear things out looking pretty

good. so that's the good news. and tomorrow, how about this? some nice temperatures around the bay area. 67 degrees in the mission. 62 daly, city, little cooler some patchy fog there in the 50's get inside the bay. those temperatures warming up nicely headed down the peninsula. 72 redwood city, the south bay enjoying 70's and some 80's by tomorrow afternoon, the east bay looking good too. a lot 80's in the interior valleys should be beautiful. walnut creek, about 80 degrees. 84 in pittsburgh. 76 a nap and you get the idea. we're working on some nice numbers, outside least for another day that we start to cool things down by this weekend. chance of showers, maybe even some thunderstorms. so, you know, i've got a good friend, dave, that works at safeway. he really has a good feel for the bay area. what everybody's thinking you know, our relationship was just getting better because the weather is getting better, too, because now there's good part of winter. he would talk to me. they may be talking for a while after this weekend. i think here's the thing. it's okay to get a couple of days here and there. but when. >> it always tends to fall on a saturday yeah, that's the rough part. like if it happened today and tomorrow
