2:10 am
with occasional downpours, this is what comes into the overnight hours. that is at 2:30, there is 3:00 and there is 4:00. don't be surprised if you hear some thunder overnight as these come through as we get into the morning hours, they will wind down. look how we did today for rainfall totals when we talk about having a flood advisory, the totals were certainly impressive enough in spots to do it because it came on fairly quickly. a lot of places getting close to half an inch of rain, look at the north bay with the number closer to 2 inches and talking about the flooding on mark west, that happened at about the 5:00 hour because most of that rain came through the early time of the day. so okay we shift our focus, we will talk about a high surf warning and then we will see the next system, more rain in the seven day forecast and i will see what that in a

2:25 am
bay and are now going back down towards conception. as it works down the coast. and i'm going to play this forward and you will watch the energy continue to go south and this will get us into tomorrow. we are not done with some wave energy here, it is still high enough that it's a concern but we are passed the peak of this one and this one is not as big as this one came through on thursday. i couple of things on that. staying in effect until 2:00 in the afternoon, just because it's not as bad, thursdays was really exceptional, you don't have to be that bad to be a concern. and what you really want to know now is when is the next high tide and that is why we have been trying to get better acquainted with looking at these, because it was high tide on thursday that played such a big role especially in that surge. and our own issues here, especially at stetson beach. and on thursday, if you take a look at the next two peaks, we still have tomorrow morning and
2:26 am
then again into the afternoon and remember it is not until 2:00 before we are out of this current high surf warning. this is the live radar and we are watching the band of rain that has moved out towards the east now in terms of the widespread steady nature of it. the rain itself is not done but the cold front, that really beautifully well-organized defined line of yellow and orange that we were watching across the bay, all evening throughout every one of our newscasts we literally watched it all night long. and we can now finally say, that it is to the east of the bay and it's in the central valley and on the future cast , we will pick up that story where i left off, and in the top of the newscast, when we talk about what comes next. and just to show you how that place through, this is a little bit more exaggerated, the high-resolution forecast model tends to really highlight the potential for these. and it has a track record this winter of
2:27 am
overdoing it a bit. but the ingredients are still there, so the possibility is still there for isolated showers and scattered thunderstorms from this tomorrow. and then we will get a break, watch what happens to the next storm, you will see it come out of the pacific right there. a little bit of a curveball, that works to keep us grain-free. because they will take that system there and play this into new year's day. that next one, is the focus, we will start turning our attention to, next. as we start to come out of this current storm cycle and take a breather. we will start getting ready for the tuesday and wednesday system and you can see how this one is put together that looks like a pretty good fetch of moisture and there are a couple more after that. and it is an el nino winter after all. we haven't forgotten that. we will take these one at a time. we won't go that far down the road. just because the long-range model shows another
2:28 am
that it is necessarily coming for us, so stay on top of the forecast with us and we will have more. so if we put it into the seven-day forecast or probably the next concern for so many of us, new year's eve will be fine. and new year's day will also be great and tuesday and wednesday our next system i know it looks like we have more rain on wednesday this will be another one where it will split the difference and come right in between the two, it will be tuesday night into wednesday, that is where the timing stands on that one for now. juliet, back to you. they say that god doesn't play favorites but apparently jesus does, at least when it comes to sports heroes. coming up on the red and gold report, all options are on for ky
2:29 am
this is the volkswagen, red and gold report. >> the 49ers are double-digit favorites, the commanders though, they lost six straight games and nothing to play for except for a chance to knock the 49ers out of the top spot in the nfc. >> obviously everything gives their best shot when i come to town. mike it's fun to try to earn summary else's season. george gill has a little bit extra to play for, nine yards away from his first 1000 yard season, since 2019. that would put him and brandon i you in an exclusive company. >> a look at my twitter stats, but it is cool when you're on

2:32 am
full-service fire department by the way, not only do they say the presence, they sorted them, dried them and even gave the family a few extras from their own donation pile. good thing nobody had to form a human chain to rescue this gal. we have more examples of why you should stay away from the surf. >> kind of big , and a cleanup that came through. it will knock you on the head.
