several days will bring continued snowfall again, not as much as sunday, but another foot to foot and a half for higher elevations is definitely good. temperatures today will be in the low to mid 50's. it is a cool one for sure. so bundle up this morning. make sure you got the rain jacket too. we are pretty smooth sailing after today. look at all the sunshine in the forecast in particular this weekend. if you've got those backyard grilling plans for the game, you're good to go for all of right? all right, john, thank you for that. well, let's get a look at our daily. they area highways. you can look at the snapshot right now. look at things are. >> still pretty green. mean we're moving up the limit. you're just really slowing down on the bay bridge because of the major light 80's slightly as you're traveling to haiti this morning, the 2.80, 80 is a traveling along 101. things are looking nice. bay bridge right now. once you hit the may's about 16 minutes traveling into the city this morning, our 7 to ridge is still under 15 minutes to make them riding a new one on one remembers the rain starts to fall. you still want to take your time traveling. no need

gosh. okay. well, that's just another warning for us in advance of storms. >> like today and that are still going to be coming our way for the weekend. have those trees around your property? check by our bernier is not going to be one that comes with great win, though, is that john? yeah, definitely nothing like sunday sunday was exceptional. and so that's why we saw those damages. but i've seen a lot of trees just from walking around the best couple days. >> they're looking a little uncertain there. so you definitely want to get those checked out. today's top winds will be about 40 to 45 miles per hour, which is breezy. but again, nothing like the 70 to 100 miles per hour winds. we had seen this morning. we've got a little bit of cloud cover. a few showers out there. most of our shower activity is still well to the north. take a look at la. finally getting a break this morning. so great to see that. this is the cold front right here. soon to be dropping into the bay. we do have some light showers picking up right now from marin county in sonoma county. nothing super heavy just yet, but enough to get roadways wet for the north bay. so do watch for a few slick spots up there. 2.80,

right around woodside. also a couple sprinkles. we had been seeing those light showers in the south bay kind of calming down. now, cold front rushes through. this will result winds getting a little breezier later on. but it's not an exceptionally windy day, but it is enough that those trees that are already on the edge might not have a good time with it. futurecast does show a few light showers drifting through over the next hour or 2 here. the heaviest of rainfall arrives for the north bay 8 peninsula at night 10 for the rest of us and some heavy rain and there as well. pockets of heavy rain will continue all the way up to the noon hour into the afternoon. spotty showers continuing for a few hours generally after 03:00pm. we should be starting to see some clearing. you're not necessarily out of the woods, but definitely on the tail end by that skies tonight will stay dry tomorrow morning is a dry one tomorrow afternoon. a couple of pop-up brief showers kind of like we had seen a couple days ago on monday. what we will see on friday, though, is the set up for a nice and dry weekend.

finally, 3 days in a row can offer any chance of rain. as for rainfall totals today, a quarter of an inch to a half an inch. so no flooding risk from this one. my eyes are on those trees. winds will pick up to 30 to 40 miles per hour this afternoon for the coast in the north bay. not an exceptionally windy day, but enough for those damage, trees to maybe feel the heat future cast of snowfall totals. we will see another foot to foot and a half of snow for the rest of the week. up in the sierra. not enough to block off roads, but it is going to make some fresh powder up there for your skiing actually going to be a really great ski weekend up in the sierra temperatures in the low to mid 50's today and tomorrow, a little bit warmer. slight chance of an afternoon sprinkle really after today's rain. we're pretty smooth sailing, especially into the weekend, right? all right, john, thank you for that. well, we have a traffic hazard honor san mateo bridge. >> looks like some debris in one of the lanes there. so things are starting to slow down just a little bit. 20 minute ride 80 to 101. hopefully they can get them off the bridge they bridge.
