11:19 pm
have more tomorrow. north bay valleys. you will have your issues. the city down the peninsula. certainly out along the coast, coast side, down through san mateo county are a couple of places that are likely to experience some of the fog tomorrow but it should be limited. it won't last long. it will be gone by late morning. then the real story of the day tomorrow, is how warm we will be. so, if you are will be a bit foggy in the morning in the north bay, we will make up for it near the afternoon. the city will be close to 70 degrees tomorrow. you will hit a lot of low 80s inland. in the south bay. trivalley. this will be a little bit warmer than today. it is also going to be the last one like this. friday is already 10 to 15 degrees cooler than this. but friday is not realty the mayor change. let's get a closer
11:20 pm
look at the storm. we have looked at how it is coming out of the gulf of alaska. watch the initial line of that rain. look at the time. that is saturday. just after midnight. from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., that big swath of rain will move over. and after sunrise, we are already done with that and it will be on again off again scattered showers. let's watch a little more closely. we want a slightly better handle on what that looks like close up. pick out your part of the bay. we are close enough to this thing now, we have a fairly high degree of confidence we are locking this in in terms of timing and placement wednesday night. this is saturday, there could still be adjustments on this. if this system will change at all, the
11:21 pm
trend has been to slow it down. most of the rain in that storm falls before we wake up saturday. then on saturday through the rest of the day, on again off again scattered showers hit and miss. notice how we had to lose some resolution to go through the second half of saturday and sunday. we are still waiting for more clarity on this. but there has been consistency. second half of saturday, scattered showers on and off. sunday, a few leftovers. and then, if we look at the rainfall totals, we are getting close to an inch out of this. the majority will come through the first wave scheduled to come through early saturday. stay on top of that forecast with us. we know very well how important the timing for rain is. on a weekend. all right, here is the seven day forecast. if we have two rainy tubes, we know saturday is the rainier of
11:22 pm
the two. look at next week. we'll be done. we may not be going back to the low 80s again. but we'll be in the low to mid 70s and that is still a little above average. here is where vern. we have one of your not top five after the break. not. well then, stick around for sports. especially if you love the giants. and who water skis, plays bridge, the piano, won over 1200 games as a basketball coach? huh?
