today, beautiful sunshine. you can see we're in the 50's and 60's right across the pretty nice out highs today will be for the most part about where we should be this time of year. a little bit cooler around the bay itself, but inland those temperatures that we should be about. 63, 64 degrees are getting close to it and hitting in some spots tonight. we do have a frost advisory for the north bay. so watch out for those temperatures that will be dropping once again into the 30's. and after tonight, we're going to see that warm up. so not quite as pronounced we get to tomorrow. okay. so here we are. we've got the blue skies. as we zoom out. you can see just a few high clouds are sitting offshore. you have to really zoom out pretty far to see what's coming our way next, which is to say that this low pressure system right up in the gulf of alaska. that's the one that's going to bring us some rain and also going to bring some incredible snow to this year that we were just taking a look at so today. tomorrow, looking good. we take you into wednesday later in the evening. that's about 10, 30 at night. you see some of those clouds roll in little pops on the radar, showing some sprinkles on thursday morning. but by thursday afternoon, this is we're going to see the first line of heavier showers start
