just really showing up to the northwest right out of our viewing area with the potential for shower or 2 in some scattered showers right now in the sacramento area. but as we fast for that clock in the 9.30 hour, we could see it right off the coast. that band of showers making its way to us maybe a pop-up shower or 2. that's going to be a possibility. the window is really from the 09:00am to 05:00pm. and you can see that fast forward to 2 o'clock from la all the way up to san francisco right into the reading area that band of showers and even some maybe snow and the southern part of california, we could see a light sprinkle or 2 in the sierra for us, nothing like we've dealt with the past couple of days. so we do again have a chance for scattered showers that window really looking like from the 9 to 5, but will be less than a 10th of an inch. but just enough outside of concord, you probably noticed just enough to get a your windshield maybe see those windshield wipers go back and forth. of it's been kind of wet for us rainier starts in october. we already got 3 to 4 inches in some

the middle east snap katz is a one of a kind rescue known around the world. we open the crate to let out our little kitten takes a while before she seems to gather the courage to venture out little kitten that you brought down. we ended up naming sugar. and she's messina right front paw and a little right back paw. >> from what i understand, she was just one run out in, you know, alone she wasn't being cared for. she was probably a stray. the mom probably left or because did they know better than to try to spend their energy kassab might not survive. >> sugar seems to a fit right in here at snap cat. but unlike some of the others who have been here for years, sugar will probably be gone soon. it's going to happen. sugar sugar is going to adopt real quick. she she's too cute. >> great rescue. well, now to our next story, calfire veteran josh potter has been with the department for 18 years reporter right carol met

there are any different than anyone else. and we shouldn't either. >> there are cats from across california and as far away as the middle east snap katz is a one of a kind rescue known around the world. we open the crate to let out our little kitten takes a while before she seems to gather the courage to venture out little kitten that you brought down. we ended up naming sugar. and she's messina right front paw and a little right back paw. >> from what i understand, she was just one run out in, you know, alone she wasn't being cared for. she was probably a stray. the mom probably left or because did they know better than to try to spend their energy on catch that might not survive. >> sugar seems to a fit right in here at snap cat. but unlike some of the others who have been here for years, sugar will probably be gone soon. it's going to happen. sugar sugar is going to real quick. she she's too cute. yeah, it. what a great rescue. >> calfire veteran josh potter has been with the department for 18 years. reporter ryan

related to what i've done in the fire service with both of captain potter's grandfather serving in the military being in the marines and now a first responder has come naturally to him adding he always sees the connections between the 2 groups. >> that 9, 1, forced to me is a lot like the required 9, 1, 4, 6, you know, the president or, you know, country's in trouble. they said they sent reason even though protecting life and property is they're consistent goal protecting those that that we do >> there's no greater feeling when when you say people's homes and they come up and they, you know, they say thank you for saving our house. captain potter says one of the things he likes about his cal-fire job is the unpredictability of what to expect. every day's a different network. you never know what you're gonna get. there's a lot of opportunities with our department and i value that. and, you know, take pride and and my job and 18th year of doing this. captain potter now dedicate his time serving others by
