doesn't happen till late tomorrow. that will be after sunset. so expect costs sky conditions kind of cloud up a little bit early on. and then the rain happens when we get past sunset that clears out. looks okay for your monday. however, we're waiting for the shoe to drop. let's get back. those winds now little bit of a breeze going on with this initial wave that comes through with cloud cover, almost like a blustery feel a bit to little cooler than we experienced from friday. certainly then tomorrow afternoon here, the winds before that line drops to the south. nice on short clip there. you can see well in the business of the teens and even some 20's it passes, doesn't leave much with it. so today kind of cloudy on balance north bay midday shower, perhaps or sprinkle almost late partial clearing will for the wider bay. and that really means after sunset with that tomorrow we go to increasing clouds again, colder, same kind of drill, rain and windy late, though, and it will be after sunset next week. rain and showers early in. the next big hit looks to be monday night through tuesday morning.

greatly depending on whether or not they're competitive races. and that's precisely why he says california's primary turnout was low noting donald trump and joe biden faced little competition in their respective primaries. so that lack of the top of the ticket really did depress turnout and change the demographics of the voters who did actually vote in this election. in fact, mitchell note, heading into election day early data showed older whiter and more conservative californians voted in larger numbers than younger, more progressive voters. while data from the secretary of state's office showed as of friday, more than 2 million ballots still need to be processed. mitchell says even so the turnout demographics we've seen up to now made enough of a difference to greatly propel republican u.s. senate candidate steve garvey to the runoff against democrat adam schiff. still, mitchell says we are likely to see a totally different turnout story in the november general election when america will choose between joe biden and donald trump in november, it will be an

election where voters probably think to themselves this might be the most important election of my lifetime where they are going to be jumping out of bed and get us to, you know, very, very high turnout. >> and as for the march primary election, all county elections office have one month to certify the results reporting in sacramento, wallace kron. 4 news. >> still ahead on the kron, 4 morning news people packed the streets of chinatown in san francisco. we take you inside the sights and sounds of the night market coming up.

greater bay area. you can count on good deal of cloud cover. it looks like towards the middle of the day, give or take a few hours for noon. if yours after before, it starts to clear out a little bit for tonight. here it is on future cast for that line marches right through the middle of the day. horrible timing. sorry about that. and then starts to clear out towards the latter portion of the day. now your sunday. some are kind of pattern as well. we start off with a couple raise a son in the south bay. you might get some morning sunshine and a good chunk of the east bay until the afternoon. the prime meridian part changes there you have it by 9 o'clock and the rain is involved across the bay area. a little rain event going on here for us and the more substantial one, however, is upstream for monday night tuesday. by the way, this line here is what prompted the national weather service to add to this with the winter storm watch that's been posted he doesn't include tahoe. it's actually more in the foothills. but as meant a as a notation of that, there you have that first hit. and then again, another one monday night tuesday. that will be

the area. our kron kron four's rob nesbitt reports. >> the weekend blizzard that blew through the sierra last weekend made for difficult travel conditions and ski resorts were closed for several days once the area was shoveled out, places like palisades tahoe were able to take advantage of the fresh powder this past weekend from thursday evening. >> they're monday. we got 8 feet of snow. it was insane. pr coordinator at palisades maddy condon says because of all the new snow, the ski resort will extend their season to may 27th. >> memorial day weekend skiing is a good sign for the state's snowpack. it's always great space to lake. it's great for watershed. it's great for the california drought that we've seen the past. you know, a few years. so the more so the merrier, as always, that scares hearts. the california department of water resources keeps a close eye on the state's snowpack. according to the manager of the department's hydrology section david the statewide snowpack is just above 100%. but then we had this really good snowstorm really push does.

>> where we want to be at this time of the year early march hesitates to be too optimistic because he's still paying close attention to the date. april first, that's about when the state reaches peak snowpack each year department of water resources wants to see more snow in the forecast before then saying 100% snowpack does not result in 100% runoff. if you have a little bit extra, maybe 110, 215%, then you give yourself a buffer to to maximize the runoff into our reservoir is which is important every year. >> with the primary election in the rearview mirror, we now have a better idea of voter turnout statewide and it wasn't great kron four's capitol correspondent eytan wallace spoke with a political data expert. >> well, keep in mind, california, some ballast to more than 20 million registered voters weeks in advance of election day. but even so turnout was historically low. >> it was actually the second lowest turnout of a presidential primary in the

state's history. that's how bad paul mitchell says the turnout was in california super tuesday primary election. mitchell who serves as vice president of the voter ballot tracking service, political data inc says, well, ballots are still being processed based on the numbers h of the 22 million registered voters in the state. when it's all said and done. he projects the final turn out to stand somewhere between 33 and 35% presidential primaries are generally closer to 50% turnout, but they also vary greatly depending on whether or not they're competitive races. and that's precisely why he says california's primary turnout was low noting donald trump and joe biden faced little competition in their respective primaries. so that lack of the top of the ticket really did depress turnout and change the demographics of the voters who did actually vote in this election. in fact, mitchell note, heading into election day early data showed older whiter and more conservative californians voted in larger numbers than younger, more progressive voters. while data

from the secretary of state's office showed as of friday, more than 2 million ballots still need to be processed. mitchell says even so the turnout demographics we've seen up to now made enough of a difference to greatly propel republican u.s. senate candidate steve garvey to the runoff against democrat adam schiff. still, mitchell says we are likely to see a totally different turnout story in the november general election when america will choose between joe biden and donald trump in november, it will be an election where voters probably think to themselves this might be the most important election of my lifetime where they are going to be jumping out of bed and get us to, you know, very, very high turnout. >> and as for the march primary election, all county elections office have one month to certify the results reporting in sacramento, wallace kron. 4 news. >> electric car maker or even announced new models at an event in laguna beach, tamara was there and brings us the details in today's tech smart.
