warming pacific ocean. warming, due in part, to climate change. the higher temperatures in the ocean and the air allow the atmosphere to hold more water. >> so the ocean temperatures are warm right now, so this cold mass of air that came down from the bearing strait picked up heat and moisture as it moves across the pacific. >> reporter: creating a warmer, wetter storm, that was still below freezing. jones is now keeping his eye on the snow pack, and with good reason. february was the ninth straight month in a row to be the warmest on record globally. >> because overall conditions are warmer, the snow could melt faster than normal. >> reporter: he's hopeful for new strategies to catch excess water and store it underground. he also says it's not too late to slow down climate change. >> we have to be aware of the changes happening and start to prepare for them. >> reporter: so we can weather any storm. for the moment, we're in a
11:16 pm
break between storms. a brief little break from the rain chances, and even once the rain chances return, we're not talking about any torrential rain headed for the bay area. in the short term, more atmosphere on top of us suppressing the development of any clouds for most of the day on friday. but the next storm system already lining up to send a chance of showers into the bay area on saturday. while we're in this break, the solar electricity generation numbers have really responded to the sunshine breaking through the clouds today. the numbers really spike tomorrow with full sunshine throughout the day. then as the clouds return, we'll take a bite out of the numbers for the first half of the weekend. likely the same on sunday. tonight clear skies overhead. temperatures chilly to start the day, but we warm up with full sunshine overhead. the moisture holds off until about the time comes up saturday. showers moving into the north bay around sunrise saturday morning. but watch what happens to this line of rain as it tries to move across
11:17 pm
the bay area. it just kind of falls apart. the best chance of measurable rain is over the north bay. the rest of us could see a trace, a couple hundredths of an inch. by the afternoon breaks in the cloud cover. keep in mind, the forecast model data is never perfect. if things slow down a little bit, that would push the showers into the afternoon. but at the moment, cautiousfully optimistic that saturday afternoon might be okay for the outdoor plans. total rainfall is modest at best or worst depending on our perspective. less than a quarter inch of rain, most areas getting barely a trace. especially for the southern half of the bay area. as we have the seven-day outlook for rain. more chances are in the forecast by sunday. especially sunday afternoon into sunday night. then another spike in the rain chances monday night into tuesday. then things are going to dry out on a longer term basis. right now outside clear skies overhead.
11:18 pm
temperatures dropping off into the low 50s and 40s. these numbers anywhere from a couple to about a half dozen degrees below average, but no records set. temperatures bounce back into the upper 60s for high temperatures in san jose. 68 degrees there. that's the warm spot. so even the warmest spot will stay below 70 degrees. only a couple degrees above normal for most of us. along the coast and half moon bay, you fall just short of 60 degrees. just above in san francisco, 62 is exactly the normal high temperature for the eighth day of march, and temperatures in the north bay also reaching up into the mid-60s. but if you're in the sun, it is going to feel warmer than these near or slightly above average temperatures. and there's actual warmth just around the corner. look at the ten-day temperature outlook for san jose. there's a big spike in temperatures from thursday and especially into friday and saturday of next week. temperatures flirting with 80 degrees heading into st. patrick's day weekend. but we have to get there first through an unsettled weekend. not a
