san jose. you've come down after you saw some showers rolling overhead just moments ago. and we still do have some pockets of i would say moderate rainfall moving across the north bay and east bay, san ramon. you're about to see rainfall picking up likely have just these past few moments, same down towards the south end of san francisco. past daly city. now, futurecast shows these pockets of rain continuing on and off throughout the day today, you will get sometimes of sunshine, especially late this morning, looking pretty nice towards the afternoon, though. you can see that we will see some pockets of thunderstorms developing much like yesterday. so wash rinse, repeat of what we had for your thursday as well. we will see some showers as well into saturday morning saturday will bring sometimes of clearing, but especially morning. and then late afternoon hours really picking up some energy. now sunday is what my eyes are focused on because sunday is going to be a really interesting day. lots of rain pushing in an especially for southern california. the big

winners out of this next storm system is going to be the santa cruz mountains. you see overnight hours saturday night into sunday morning that deep red just inundating the mountains above san jose in the peninsula. in some heavy rain falling down there. this will or increase or flooding risk, especially for our neighbors in the south bay. notice the north bay not seeing nears much rainfall. intensity is our southern neighbors. well, but this is going to be a major system rolling through to finish out the weekend today. and tomorrow's rainfall fairly moderate sunday comes around. we've got a lot of it coming down that moment just in one day, looking at around 5 inches of rainfall. now, if the system does stall out to our south, it's actually not the bay area. but southern california around los angeles that could see some major flooding potential some of the mountains up there as much as 8 inches of rainfall. all depending on how fast the system moves. so could be a very interesting start to the week, especially for southern california right here in the day. our flooding risk does

continue. flood watches still in effect and a flood warning still in effect for sonoma county. we do have a winter storm warning up in the sierra nevada. we have multiple feet of snowfall set to come down really picking up into sunday, although it's going to come down all weekend long going to be measuring it in feet. and if you have plans on heading up to the sierra, do expect that heavy snow paired with gusty winds that does result in blowing snow, drifting snow and low visibility. so it can be very treacherous getting up there in the mountains. as i mentioned, multiple feet of it can be expected up there in those higher elevations. today's daytime highs are going to be a touch cooler, mostly mid-fifties and tomorrow is going to be much the same saturday brings those morning dose of sunshine. middle of the day. rain picks up again saturday night and heavy rain on sunday. likely into monday too. unsettled into next week. as for your roads where we're sitting this morning, things are looking just fine. we do have the bay bridge toll plaza here. just slow you down a little bit as

storm is honestly can already hear. we're not really getting much of a break in between, but we are seeing the heavy rainfall picking back up as this next system arrives into sunday. so today going to be a very similar one yesterday. spotty showers and a time some stormy conditions out there. your view outside at the coastline this morning, a little bit gray, but we are looking at just unsettled weather generally across the whole region. snow continues in the sierra. if you're heading up there this weekend, you're going to get every single day this weekend. as for the bay area, pockets of heavy rain right now we are seeing lighter showers across the south bay currently. but take a look at this. we have a little bit of thunderstorm building going on right now in the east bay, especially right above walnut creek. and then right above mount diablo, 2 cells moving through a contra costa county out that direction right now. so we definitely have in active morning ahead of us. active day to today were really repeating a lot of the same factors we had yesterday, little bit of sunshine. and

then as you can see here right afternoon pockets of heavy rain, some lightning strike, some strong winds and heavy short-lived downpours tonight into tomorrow morning. much the same. in fact, tomorrow morning, a good soaking rain as you're waking up in the morning, we will see a midday lowell and then it really kicks back into gear. saturday night in saturday night leading into sunday. this is what we are looking at right here. heavy rain, especially for areas further south in the bay area. this time around. it's flip-flop from last time. north bay you get are lighter amounts south bay getting our heavier amounts in especially the santa cruz mountains. sunday is going to be nonstop. heavy rain up there in those redwoods in the santa cruz mountains really filling up those small streams. flooding risk becomes prevalent. we'll also see some heavy rain across the east bay and peninsula north bay. as i mentioned, you'll still get it. but your rainfall totals won't be quite as dramatic today. and tomorrow's rain around a quarter of an inch normally that's all right. but take a look at what happens into sunday and monday. and

bam, we are looking at some heavy rain moving in that moment, looking at 5 inches of rain in just a whole day's worth. san francisco of around 3 and a half inches of it. santa rosa, 2 inches. so you're still getting it just not quite as much as areas further south. if this system does stall out in southern california, socal will be looking at the potential of a lot of flooding into early next week. so that is something that meteorologists are watching really closely as we advance through the tail end of the weekend and into next week, flood risk with watches still in effect across the bay area. and one flood warning for sonoma county still under winter storm warnings in the sierra nevada. we will continue to see that heavy snowfall ramping up into the tail end of the weekend on sunday will see multiple feet of it as much as 4 feet of snow on many of those slopes. and that doesn't mean the potential of road closures delays, whiteout conditions, drifting snow, blowing snow on roadways. not going to be a fun day to travel, especially on sunday as you're heading back from your weekend of

skiing. today's daytime highs are going to be in the 50's with mid 50's for most of us tomorrow is going to be right around the same as well as sunday. tomorrow is your best chance to get outside. but still count on some showers here and there sunday. absolutely. your worst day to get outside and we stay active into next week as well for your roads. right now, things out there are smooth sailing just a little bit of a backup now beginning to form right there at the metering lights of the bay bridge. they just turned on. as for your san mateo bridge, things out their role in a okay. you are definitely slowing yourselves down this morning because there's not a lot of traffic, but i want you to give yourself plenty of time on the roads. things are very slick out there after last night's continued rain. great. all right, john, thank you for that. >> at our state capitol reparations for descendants of enslaved black americans are now one step closer to becoming a reality. why here in california? because members of the california black legislative caucus have formally introduce a slate of
