forecast. >> there are three storms, three separate storms to talk about. this is storm number one and it is by far the easier of the three. that is live, first alert doppler. right on schedule, this system is giving the best of its rain as we head toward the evening commute. late afternoon and early evening, you can see how widespread this is. watch futurecast. pick up on where the cold front is. a little bit better organization. it has the potential to give you the better rain out of the whole day. getting down to the golden gate through 6:00 and working down to the south bay in the early evening, there will be some wind that accompanies this but nothing crazy. maybe you get 30 miles per hour gusts but this is not the storms of two weeks ago with intense wind and really pounding downpours. this rain comes to an end tonight and then we will be done. while

3:04 pm
throughout saturday, that system is with us. it gives us widespread steady rain for saturday . in terms of timing, we should think about this one as all day saturday. it will be difficult at this point to plan when there more be -- when there will be brakes. stay with us over the next couple of days. we will spotlight that and give you the details. for right now, it is an all-night rainmaker. 30 miles per hour gusts are requisite with all of these systems. this is that third and final system, the one that is a little more difficult. we are getting far down into the long-range. we are talking about a storm that could potentially be with us a week from today. even though it starts on sunday, there is the beginning of it. this will be late sunday. we get the leading edge of it. this has another
3:05 pm
atmospheric river in it. it is pulling and a good amount of rain. watch what happens. when we hit play, it is not the leading edge of the rain. look at the center of the storm that is driving it. this will stall out and sit here. for the last couple of days, we will be living under the influence of that, which will be far more on-again, off-again showers. in no way will it rain consistently . most likely, it will be widespread steady rain sunday into monday and then second half of monday and tuesday, scattered showers. add the rainfall totals up and that is a wide range. much more on narrowing down the likelihood. there is a lot on here for the 7-day forecast. thursday and friday look good. here is your break. saturday is one system all day. sundays system is late sunday through monday and then scattered showers sticking around as late as wednesday. stay with us for continuing
