3:16 pm
see the totals come into about a half inch of rain in the northbay. maybe a little less for the south bay. if we add on top of that those -- the thursday rain, not blockbuster totals but the totals to go up a bit. that is the rain story. the other item to discuss is a new high surf advisory that the national weather service has issued. i know we had one for very early this morning. here is the next one. this will likely be a bit bigger in terms of the waves. it does not expire until thursday. the people that pay attention to this are not necessarily the surfers and the people who you think need to know about high surf advisories. needs to know about this? anybody who will be on the beach because those are the people more at risk. people who go down to watch the waves and don't know what is coming. look at the wave energy in the pacific. the last few days, there has been a lot of it. we can visualize that swell and that is just about to hit the coastline right there. this
3:17 pm
gets us into tonight and wednesday which is why we have the timeframe on that high surf advisory the way that it is. just be real aware. if you are going down to the beach or you know somebody who might have the free time, those are the people who usually get impacted by this. heads up to anyone. as far as daytime highs tomorrow go, we are looking at numbers that will be in the mid 60s. the temperatures don't change a whole lot. it will be high clouds for the rest of today. for tomorrow, when we have the rain come through in the morning, you will get a break by the late afternoon and we should be clearing up by sunset for most locations. that is the way things look for tomorrow. let's get into the 7-day forecast. we will take a look at the amended microclimate. you can see the chance of rain for thursday and there is a drop that shows up on thursday. we already know that it is two systems coming our way. if we take a look at how this will play out for the bay, we will see the same story but the numbers will be different. rain
