monday and on tuesday about 38 or so. so gradual moderation here. but going to be quite cold with all of this. now, the storms we've been used to have been very juicy, but they've come from the lower latitudes much this season. so even though technically this is less moisture, it's colder. so therefore it's being park and it's being driven by some heavy winds that's causing all these blizzard conditions that just 70 now normally can see the peaks out there to the distance. but you can't with this nasty weather going on here. you can see the snow banks at work. the moisture train keeps coming general direction from west to east. quite active on the board is going to stay that way. little breaks of sun try to come out here a little bit sfo. the sun was trying to poke out just a little bit here last few hours. thunder showers possible from central coast. central valley due north. it looks like encompassing the entire pacific coast from that point as well. so with that, there's a chance of here in the rumbling and bumbling of thunder going on because the snow levels are very low and we have some instability.

older are voting, the electorate is going to return. a ballot is going to be close to 60%. seniors were there about a quarter of the registered voters. what's important is that when turnout drops california doesn't drop equally for all populations. this is a real negative impact on turnout among minorities, younger people renters and really does skew the kind electorate that will decide not only the u.s. senate race but also local contest legislative races, congressional races, ballot measures all across the board. and speaking of the u.s. senate race, a new la times uc berkeley poll shows for the first time republican steve garvey leading what democrat adam schiff just behind within the margin of error in reach. a first the survey shows democrat katie porter and 3rd and democrat barbara lee in for what's become more more striking as election day draws closer is help order in lee. >> to progressive democratic women how much they're herman each other if one or the other of them were to have stepped

future cast for see what i'm talking about. lines of rain continue all day for today. so it'll come and go come and go come and go quantitatively. this is not as strong as we've been used to because this stuff's not popping up from the southern latitudes. this is more the typical winter-like pattern coming with winds with it as well. we talked about the blizzard warning going on up around tahoe and the snow levels will continue to come that way. all this weekend. now we see a little bit of a break. try to happen a bit on sunday night. that's worth noting it's going to try to dry out a little bit. and some of the coldest temperatures we will see in the week day forecast will be by monday morning. now the line of rain tries to come in and then tuesday, probably a stronger one. the winds they pretty much are committed on shore. just about all day. they kind of fuss around a little bit from the offshore direction temporarily. little break in there until sunday. we'll get a little pop and then another one into monday. it looks like 2. so the winds themselves will come and go in austin. throughout the day longer range forecast comes out like this. we have this

traffic to deal with early on to the week. that's the last hit right here. looks this going all the way out to wednesday morning to the funding plays out, drying out through the remainder of the weekend. well, don't take that to the bank that sunday. monday thing we're still working on next weekend's forecast wouldn't necessarily put that in the shore that we're going to get hit like that and your high temperatures today in the lower 50's looks like for highs across the board today. not much of an improvement from where temperatures stand now. this again is more like our winter type weather patterns tend to be some of the warmer mild stuff. look at this longer range forecast, though, very unsettled going on mountain snow. that means in the bay area. we don't flip things around until wednesday and then a nice little. a warm-up days trying to happen into friday as get temperatures into the 60's with all of that as well. so nearly half of the weekend make no mistake about it still going to be very, very much like winter weather in the yeah, it really just look at this graphic behind you them a

lot but then you can over look over here. you'll see if there's also something something to look forward bring sunshine thanks so much. they would appreciate that. >> all right. so now the various sports, the warriors head to toronto after winning in new york just the night before aaron wilson has the details. >> well, step curry and the warriors running on fumes on friday night in toronto in a second, a back-to-back after playing difficulties. the get them their late 50's still had time for his fans. and guess his family is coming. they're welcoming another baby. it seems that they are welcoming a 4th child. now. no word on the gender. i. >> hoping that it might be a boy dad to the 2 girls. i think there will be cooler riley, ryan and canon. they'll be welcome in a new sibling here sometimes. so now the warriors, though, they looked tired early on with the turnovers and missed shots, the rafters they took advantage. rj barrett drives the lane here no resistance rises up, throws it down. 23 points on the night barrett.

>> but the warriors they woke up course jk was a big part of that i will have them there from the i look at it we've got to show you that once he's a bucket right moses moody had a nice game as well. starting in place of andrew. we can see at 17 point the miss this shot south with puts it back in that's obviously why everyone loves moses moody as they like to say, steph curry, though he started to connect is live in the 2nd quarter as will bring a 3 right there. that was just one of 7. we'll show you another in the second. well, on the way down, though, play thompson able to get into the action of his own in the corner here, hand in his face, rise up, drops another one from deep to give the warriors their first lead of the game and play here 14 on the night we welcoming becoming a beast. no surprise there. step with the bounce. jk with the rise up and throw down there with the flying another replay for you because jk is just the highlight reel this season. why not? obviously and is some more stiff because does what he does. he drops one from the

top of the key there. he had. 25 points coming ahead. 24 points. the warriors hit 120 points over the raptors 105. now it was the 8th straight win on the road for the warriors. they have now won 13 of their last 16 matchups. they're on a roll. it's all we have that sense to you at the dentist. >> aaron, thank you. what do i see in peter dixon? i see my husband... the father of our girls. i see a public servant. a man who served under secretary clinton in the state department... where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. i see a fighter, a tenacious problem-solver... who will go to congress

little bit as well. stormtracker 4 we've got the bigger picture. want to show here. this is all areas potentially coming. a lot of real estate too, potentially of seen a thunder shower, which we already saw little bit from yesterday. that is possible to continue today and even some areas of hail to areas to have hail. and what happens is when the sun comes out, it heats the ground and you get some of operational. that's just energy for the atmosphere with instability added to that, boom, you start to fire off some of that hail and some thunder shower action. so future cast for says more lines yet to come throughout the day today again on and off rain. you can expect it quantitatively. it's not producing a lot of problems yet in terms of widespread flooding, at least. but as the winds were watching, at least till 10 o'clock, they're going to come back up again. it looks like tonight and even into tomorrow. notice how on your sunday and we do the same things today. but a little drier and better brakes happening in the skies to should probably see a couple more raise the sun tomorrow. not as heavy on the rain. when you do get it and continuing to be more spotty and more

anything that you do, whether it's challenging or difficult? there is no other alternative. you have to go for it. even if you fail, you will try again. so find that moral compass and take care of yourself. make sure you are in a good place. then you can anything. alright. award winning chef. kathy, thank. thank you so much for joining us this morning. and for tips with us. >> all right. we'll be right >> all right. we'll be right back.
