ground is able to absorb it. sunday night into monday could be a different story, as it may become problematic with significant rain coming right now. golden gate bridge is wet as you can see. still, some rain falling on live doppler seven. i'm going to take you down to the south bay where we're seeing the rainfall intensifying right around san jose. you will notice alum rock east julian street. we are seeing some heavier rain around story road east foothills as we head towards parts of the north bay. we're seeing some rain around angwin, silverado trail, pope valley near our radar site, calistoga seeing some steady rain and lighter rain from pinole into el sobrante across highway 80. as we look at the bigger picture here, area of low pressure off the coast pushing that front in. but that area of low pressure is going to be the secondary part of this system that's going to come through here for your saturday. so that's going to keep the wet weather going. how much rain has fallen so far? let's take a look. half an inch in santa rosa almost that in san rafael 6100 in ben lomond

picking up 1000/900 in oakland. san jose 400. concord 500. napa 2000/700 of an inch. this is just the start of what's to come. sunday. the thunderstorm risk goes up for much of california, which includes the bay area, and that risk remains in effect until sunday. monday morning. excuse me. so storm concerns for the weekend flooding a high likelihood. and i'll show you where trees down. also a high likelihood power outages, medium and shallow landslides, high temperatures. right now in the 40s and the 50s. this is a mild system. these storms that follow will also be a warm to mild systems. and that's why we're not expecting it to get very cold. but certainly we'll be raining at levi's stadium tomorrow night. it's a huge game. the playoffs. niners taking on the packers. and let me just put it to you this way. the niners have played in worse weather, so hopefully they'll be okay. rain breezy, 59 degrees at kickoff. fourth quarter. it's going to be a soggy night. take your poncho if you're going overnight, but going into tomorrow morning we're looking at wet breezy to

gusty conditions. stronger storms sunday monday downpours, thunder chance and the possibility of some damage from flooding to trees down. so as we look at tomorrow, excessive rain potential, it's slight to marginal. it's in the north bay. watch it expand to other parts of the bay area sunday and monday as that stronger storm comes in that risk means that there could be some flooding on the roadways, smaller streams and creeks. that's why a flood watch goes up sunday to monday as solano county for lake and mendocino counties. that's up tomorrow. so on our storm impact scale overnight, it's a one rain brief. downpour is gusty in the hills. slight chance of thunder tomorrow morning, 5 a.m. you see those showers? some breathers in between as well through noontime and then 4 p.m. here comes widespread rain. 5:00. when that game gets underway, it's going to be coming down. 11 p.m. still raining hard. and then we go over to scattered showers. so the rainfall through sunday morning will take you into that third of an inch to almost an inch ben loman to over an inch

of rain. by the time we head into wednesday, we're talking about inches of rain isolated higher totals in the coastal hills 5 to 8in winter storm warning for the sierra until 1 a.m. tuesday. looking at the highest snow totals above 7000ft. but the snow levels will be between 6 and 7000ft. heavy, wet snow 40s 50s. tomorrow morning. keep the umbrellas handy. tomorrow afternoon it's going to be a wet one. 50s and 60s. and here's your accuweather seven day forecast two tomorrow, sunday and monday. that's when our greatest chance of thunder enters the picture. and then a weaker system for tuesday night into wednesday. so it's definitely going to be cumulative effect. >> so many numbers. >> sandhya i know we still have several more storms to go. hopefully we get through it safely.

on wednesday and tonight we're postponed. we do expect to hear from the team on sunday. the future of sports illustrated magazine is in question tonight, after nearly all of the staff received layoff notices, the arena group, the company authorized to operate the magazine, had its license revoked by si's parent company, authentic brands group.
