breezy this morning with those gusty winds. and then we'll look for the rain tonight all throughout the game. and it will be widespread and light to moderate. then we get into the heavier system sunday monday a chance of a thunderstorm and this could bring a little bit of flooding for perhaps the creeks and streams in the north bay. that's saturated soil could bring down a few tree limbs, but overall we're not expecting a lot of problems with this. but look how the rain advances through the three 4:00 hour, and then we get widespread coverage right on through the overnight hours, and it gets a little heavier as we pass into saturday night and sunday. so the first slug of moisture, three quarters of an inch to an inch, and then we'll get into that inch and a half to an inch and three quarters sunday night, monday. the possibility of some thunderstorms. is this all winds down, but the snow will continue on and off with the rain and snow mix. so hopefully you get that foot as projected from donner to about 11in in kirkwood. and then looking at highs today with the scattered light rain becoming more widespread, upper 50s to near

60, that's a look at your morning on sunday with the rain ending a bit of a break until the downpours sunday night. chance of thunderstorms into monday and then that tuesday. rain is light. we're just talking. maybe a 10th to 2/10 and then we'll need the break right as we get into the end of the week. it does look drier so they are level two systems. we will have the rain continue for hours at a time, but those breaks are very key to make managing all that water. >> yeah. and speaking of breaks, no breaks really for the niners game. it's going to be going straight through. >> yeah it'll be pretty soggy all right. >> got to pack those ponchos. >> i know about it. yeah >> thanks, lisa.

we're having just a super season . >> on to the nfl. after not playing a meaningful game since december. the 49 ers host the packers in their first playoff game tonight at 515. brock purdy like to erase the memories of his last playoff experience. got hurt in philly needed surgery. the young quarterback he's been watching tape of last year's playoffs just to get in the right frame of mind. >> it's good to sort of, you know, watch the games from last year and sort of remember, you know, just the feeling and the emotions of, you know, playing in a playoff game. um, it's good. it's you know, huge for me as a quarterback to, you know, go back to those moments and sort of remember what it feels like. so um, those are the things that i'm sort of banking on. >> they're not scared, like they're playing us. yeah we're a really good football team, but i think they're just more excited for the opportunity to come in here. and hey, they have a chance to spoil what you know. we have our season and stuff like that. but i think this team is our team is very locked in and dialed and just ready to go and before the 40 niners game, get yourself warmed up, check

out c.j. stroud and the surprising texans facing the afc's number one seed lamar jackson and the ravens. >> that game this afternoon at 130 right here on abc seven nba. nikola jokic, the denver nuggets defending champs trying to stop jayson tatum the celtics. and they had a 20 game home winning streak. fourth quarter jokic the baby hook is unstoppable. he had 34 points 12 boards nine assists. just missed the triple double. oh the celtics fans he's worried. final seconds. he's not going to be happy after this boston down two jayson tatum fade fire no good. nuggets win this potential finals preview. 102 100 for the record i like the niners by two touchdowns. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend everybody i'm larry beil. >> all right i like that prediction larry lisa betting on a niners win tonight. no doubt it will be a soggy one though. >> yeah that's right. at least ten points. that's what i say. all right good morning everybody. here comes the rain once again. we've had a semi break this morning with some light showers some moderate

showers in spots. but yesterday's system is behind us. we have another one this afternoon into the overnight hours. and then the final one sunday night into monday. scattered light rain in the north bay, taking you to fairfield, where it's been a little bit heavier the past 15 to 30 minutes or so. highway 12. so be careful out there. very slick roadways and as you take a look at the mid bay here, i certainly goes down to hayward where we've had some heavier pockets in the hills and then towards union city industrial boulevard and also down towards 880 here, just very wet and into the peninsula, the east bay, where i should say east palo alto and palo alto down through the santa cruz mountains, where they've picked up about a half inch of rain, maybe another inch and a half to come as we get towards monday. so really, the higher elevations, the coastal hills and the north bay picking up those perhaps two inch totals and more than that, probably around mount tam. 56, san francisco 58. in hayward,

there's a look at emeryville and you can see all the drops here from our exploratorium camera mid 50s out there, gusty upper elevation winds. santa clara right now kind of quiet you've picked up maybe a 10th of an inch of rain, but more to come, especially right in time for the game. so wet, breezy, gusty this morning. then we have our widespread afternoon evening overnight tonight. this is the second system. third system, the final one with the downpours. so perhaps thunderstorm activity. and that could lead to some flooding or trees down. but we have those breaks in between. this morning has been a break. sunday morning will be a break and then it ends by midday monday. here's a look at our high resolution model, which continues to gather the widespread rain first in the north bay. two 3:00 and then three 4:00 throughout the east bay and then just in time for the game for the south bay. and then it just keeps coming. it continues through the overnight hours through the early morning hours. so the rainfall potential with this right now through very early sunday is three quarters to about an inch of rain on top

of what we've had. and then into sunday night this takes us to nearly two inches in parts of the north bay, and you can see two inches down around ben lomond, maybe three quarters of an inch in the east bay. so a winter storm warning. upper 30s. it's been rain, but you go up above 7000ft. it's snow. and so that's why at the ski resorts we could pick up maybe a foot at donner, but half a foot around tahoe city. so highs today, scattered showers will become more widespread and moderate or so as we get through the six 7:00 hour. this is your sunrise forecast early sunday morning, so we still have the rain out there. then we get a bit of a break until we do it again with the thunderstorm activity. a slight possibility into monday. that's why we have three level twos, because there are three systems that are very quickly behind each other. then very light rain tuesday and perhaps on wednesday. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. well, a record number of submissions this year at sundance film festival. george pennacchio is in utah with the

becomes more widespread, a bit heavier then by sunday morning. at this time, we're talking about another break. but sunday night into monday, more rain. so we're adding up to several inches. >> yeah, the parade of storms as you've been describing. all right. thanks, lisa. well, for lisa and all of us here at abc seven, i'm stephanie sierra. thank you all for joining us. we'll see you back here at five and go niners go niners. >> this is abc 724 seven. >> live in san francisco. live in the south bay in san jose. in concord. live in oakland. yes. you're watching abc seven news live. many time. anywhere. we are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are where you are. >> never miss a moment of the news that matters to you. download our abc seven bay area
