corner. we're tracking two storm systems in the week ahead. a stronger storm ahead for friday. i'll bring you the timing and the totals for those next storms on the way coming up in our seven-day forecast. another bus stop crash in san francisco. this time a man is recovering after being hit by a car while waiting at a bus stop near golden gate park. it happened just before 5:00 last night. fulton and park presidio boulevard. paramedics took the man to the hospital. he is expected to be okay. the driver was cited for multiple moving violations. the cause of that crash under investigation. that crash comes one eek after a deadly crash at a bus stop in the west portal neighborhood. a driver hit and killed a family of four including a 3-month-old baby and a 1-year-old boy. the driver was arrested but was released from the hospital and custody. the d.a.'s office has not yet filed charges. calls for a cease-fire continued today with another large demonstration in san francisco. organizers called this protest

i got you covered. >> i'll take the whole box, please. >> she's a sneeze machine, folks. >> it's one of the few that still has some tissues in it. >> everything is out around here. >> typically this time of year we see pollen levels come up. but as you're about to see, i think we've reached peak pollen status around the bay area. there you go. help yourself. let's take a look at the top four offenders as we check on gia's allergies. oak, pine, sycamore, and cedar. all four of those in the high range. have not seen that so far to start off spring. add into that the wind, which is shaking it off the trees and blowing it all over the bay area right now. northwest winds at 22 miles per hour. 56 chilly degrees there in san francisco. winds up to 32 around sfo through the san bruno gap. we're at 57 degrees. clearing skies in walnut creek. the rain has passed to the south. west wind at 14. look at those dark skies east of san jose, 60.

winds northwest at 20 miles per hour. this should be the peak of the wind for the weekend. notice how the orange and the yellow start to fade there. the higher wind speeds as we head towards tomorrow morning. still breezy on the marin county coastline. higher wind gusts around half moon bay and the santa cruz mountains should begin to come down moving forward into monday morning. but you saw the dark skies in san jose. rain now dropping from the sunol grade right around 880 and 680. east foothills. alum rock, eventually clipping down towards morgan hill within the hour. that should be about it. as the sun sets, the heating of the day that helped to boost those showers up will start to decrease, and what's left of those rain chances should fade after sunset tonight. brief clearing, but at times tomorrow, we're going to see some high clouds sweeping by. in fact, mostly cloudy skies tomorrow, but those are mostly just high clouds for now. the rain producing clouds returning by around wednesday. so morning temperatures, 40s and low 50s. we'll see temperatures by around

noon, upper 50s to low 60s for highs tomorrow. we'll trend a little bit warmer as we get into tuesday and then the rain chances return wednesday. that's the first of two rain chances, wednesday into early thursday. and the rain totals with this first midweek event don't look all that much. a lot of blue and green, indicating about a third of an inch of rain to a quarter inch of rain around the bay area. but the follow-up storm, the second storm, look at that, friday into saturday. stronger area of low pressure. more moisture involved. so the top rain there likely coming friday afternoon into early saturday morning and kind of like we're seeing this weekend, more showers into saturday and sunday. and this is why that second storm really has our attention. you'll notice here some of the rain totals as we get into the end of next weekend perhaps could be in that half inch to one inch-plus range courtesy of that second storm you're seeing towards the end of that seven-day forecast. so it is officially spring, but this time of year, we'll spring back and forth to winter-like patterns, which does include one

to two feet of snow for the sierra as we head toward next weekend. it's just unfortunate timing. it keeps happening as we try to start a weekend. we got it against next weekend. but with that rain, it means at least for you and allergy sufferers, it should bring down those pollen counts at least for a time later this week. >> this will be mine for tonight. we'll find you another one. >> thank you. >> thanks, rob. we are counting down to the days to a paris 2024. a new event going to be making its debut. we sit down with a modesto native breaking down breaking, and i've been wondering about this myself, how the judging process works. starting tomorrow, you can stream "today in the bay" live at 8:00 a.m. watch on roku, amazon fire tv and other streaming platforms. you can also see it online at nbcbayarea.com or on our smartphone app. smartphone app. just scan the qcode onr
