7:42 am
afternoon, no rain associated with this just yet. as we go into monday, could be looking at some very weak and light cells popping in through parts of marin county, all of this activity is starting to come to us from the south. so the chances of seeing rain down through parts of the south bay, could be increasing as we go into the afternoon. that's it. we clear out for the afternoon, so you can get a head start on your week. through the rest of the week, tuesday, wednesday will be dry, but changes are ahead as we go into thursday and the weekend. so don't put away that rain gear just yet or your thicker jackets, even though we have had stunning weather. the hues of the blues and pinks, could be the chance of lowering the snow levels into the north bay mountains, the diablo range, the mt. hamilton area, bringing cold air over the next couple of days not only with the rain but with the snow. let's look at what's beyond these temperatures, as we go
7:43 am
into the second half of the week. notice we're climbing back down into the upper 50s, some low 60s. we're really going to feel that chill on friday with the return of that breeze, as well. and saturday of next weekend, nothing like what we had yesterday. 70s, back down into the 50s in fremont. 53 in santa rosa and upper 40s as you go into ukiah and lake county. and speaking of cold temperatures, we're also going to be looking at lake tahoe, where this snow will be piling up in feet as we go into the sierras. so if you didn't go this weekend, you might not make it there next weekend either as we wrap it up in that seven-day forecast for you. cloudy skies for today, a spotty rain chance, light amounts. we'll stay dry through the week, but looking at the major changes ahead. winter will return next weekend. >> cinthia, thanks so much. it's 7:43. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston
