see the temperatures are up in the 50s. for most of us, it is 50. in hayward, 52 in fremont, 57. in san rafael. that's a usually cool area, but we do have a 39 in santa rosa and some low 40s in livermore. so as we look at our forecast headlines, hazy, spare the air alert again today with the rain showers scattered throughout the day. we have a line moving in in the next couple of hours. and then monday, tuesday and wednesday more rain on the way. the second system really looks to skirt the coast and the peninsula, so rainfall totals are going to be impressive, but over a 4 to 5 day period. here's a look at some of these thunderstorms and the downpours that are about to move in, say 7:00 this morning through the first half of the day. so you can see the scattered to wide spread rain showers from the north bay, even in the east bay. then that moves through. we get a bit of a break throughout the afternoon soon. this is 1130 tonight and you'll notice more rain a little bit
5:51 am
colder air moving in and we'll see the possibility of some thunderstorms throughout the day. this is early monday morning, so that commute is going to be a tough one with the slick roads, the breezy winds. this is your monday night. you can see the main system moving up to the north, but then the second system arriving with those scattered downpours from the coast to the peninsula up through the sacramento valley. and then as we get into the tuesday later afternoon period stopping this right here, we've got the widespread rain. so for vast amounts are pretty generous . but this takes us right on through wednesday night. so it's only sunday. so we have four days. but this will come in pockets. some heavier downpours from time to time as we get into your monday and then your tuesday time frame. so over three inches santa rosa you can see yountville, three inches richmond, oakland. and then that second system really focusing on the coast, the peninsula, san mateo, redwood city and ben loman could be near three inches, certainly down around ben lomond. and this certainly
5:52 am
looks like a lot of rain here. but that's that second system that really wants to hug the coast and not push far inland. but it will have some colder air. it will have breezy winds. the first system has the breezy south winds. this is your monday afternoon soon winds up to 40 miles an hour along the coast. and then as we get into that second system, this takes us through tuesday night. this is where we get some of that colder air, and we've got over two feet, maybe 2.5ft of snow. so the cloud cover, the mild conditions today with mid upper 60s out there feeling pretty muggy. and as we get into the overnight hours we'll have the downpours, temperatures in the 50s. you can see it looks like a pretty active night. and morning. the accuweather seven day forecast cast. this is our level two system as we get into monday. and then for tuesday and wednesday, we'll have to watch that. we could, uh, you know, if we could divide up the bay area tuesday. looks like the heavier rain along the coast and peninsula for a change. where the north bay won't be seen that much. so these are cut off lows
