rescued. the flood watch remains in effect as more rain is expected today. forecasters say another inch or three inches of rain could come down along east texas. they say if it is on the higher end, it could be a big problem. we have just a few stragglers left over. a few showers hanging off the coast from yesterday's system. is not much to it. this will be about more blue sky today than anything else. once we get past 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning , we are done with the slightest chance for rain. it will be blue sky. however, it will be pretty and it will be windy today. watch what happens as we get into the afternoon. the screen lights up . stronger onshore winds in the afternoon. they are 20 to 30 mile an hour gusts coming onshore. when you factor that in, with the cold air that the system from yesterday brought him, this will still be kind of a cold feeling day. look at the

daytime highs. we go to 60 for most of us. some of the warmer inland valleys go to the mid 60s. write about 4:00 is when the onshore breeze starts picking up. you have to factor a wind chill on that in the numbers will feel like low to mid 50s. blue sky but breezy and cold today. at least you are not getting rained on and you will have an opportunity to get out without being concerned . let's do a comparison for how drastically warmer we will be. by the second half of this week if we switch from sunday, watch the day change and watch the color scheme totally update. one of the things that stands out, it is not just the mid 80 degrees temperatures for the inland valleys, look at san francisco. 76. that is a noticeably warm day in the city when you get into the mid 70s but it is mid-80s inland, san jose in the low to mid 80s.

inland and i don't have rain in the forecast. but we will get cooler. instead of it being 82 like you move on thursday and the north bay, you will be 75. san jose you go from 83 to 81 on saturday. we may not really feel that inside slider much at all. it is really a factor because we will not stay in the mid 80s from. there will be a system by the weekend and starts to bring the temperatures back down from there but you have a great looking week coming your way. the late rains in california this year have allowed people to enjoy spring flowers for weeks after the typical peak in early april. there is one place that is in its prime at the moment . if you want to get your fix of wildflowers. we are talking about the chorizan national monument and eastern san luis obispo county. brian hackney took us there last year for the super bloom and we got back on the road to see how this year's bloom's are shaping up. >> reporter: it is the home of the most natural california bloom. 270 miles south of san francisco, not always paved

>> this year they seem to be staging. you get one kind of flour and then another. there is not just a sweep of orange up to yellow. >> reporter: that is the park service is, the closer you look the more you will see. >> it is still a beautiful place and i don't remember the lake being this full of water. the reflections are stunning. the colors are still good. and we have seen almost every flower i was looking for. i am happy. >> reporter: and so was he. >> i love coming for stuff like this. i have never gotten here. it is gorgeous. >> reporter: but showing for a limited time only for even the best blooms get baked in the late spring sunshine, of the carrizo plane. >> we have had three pretty good blooms in the past seven years. last year the area got more than 15 inches of rain and so far this year, it is a little less than 10 inches.
