let's get right back here to the bay area and what we can expect in her own microclimate forecast. the storm system will be different than what we have seen over the past several storms. this will be on-again and off- again lasting through three days. this is why we should avoid all of this moving in and you have moderate to heavy pockets with scattered rainfall here on the north bay. looking at 6:51 tonight that will continue through 6:50. best chance of rain is toward the south bay and then we will see spotty rain through tonight and into tomorrow morning. through tomorrow the morning commute does not look that bad. what i'm focused in on is friday's forecast with this line coming through the 8:00 to 9:00 with heavy downpours and isolated thunderstorms. maybe even small hail into

saturday with heavy downpours at times. a quarter to one inch toward the north bay with a quarter to about three quarters of an inch and higher totals toward the south bay. this should all start to taper off as we go through sunday with trace amounts to about a quarter of an inch. with on and off bursts of wind throughout the afternoon you can see it coming out of the southwest and then also through saturday with the wind tapering off as we go into sunday. a few showers on sunday and some rainfall next week. it does not look nearly as strong as what we've been through. as we get over the next two days we will be good to go and as i showed you and that depiction if you're thinking of going to the sierra there is no

way to get through that so do wait it out and next weekend wait it out and next weekend may be better for you.
