the santa cruz mountains right now and into the south bay down towards morgan hill and gilroy are out of that area. the heaviest rain was this morning. marin county had half inch up in santa rosa. can feel the half inch east bay not as much. you can see 10th of an inch, but those numbers have come up. obviously this is sort of a moving target. so i would guess say orinda is probably at about 0.30 or something like that. napa is probably well, napa doesn't make sense. we got to look at that number again, don't we? especially if it's a north bay number 0.04. but the numbers have been varied and the rainfall is still coming down very light to moderate at this hour. the heavy stuff would be represented by the yellows. right. and you can kind of see it down here in the santa cruz mountains. but as you look up, up this way, you know, the relatively light showers for the most part, but it still makes for a wet afternoon commute. and so how does this play into tomorrow? so it's pretty much over. so tomorrow morning's commute should be dry tomorrow afternoon's commute should be dry. i think we'll see a little valley fog in the morning. there is a way outside. chance for a sprinkle or shower tomorrow morning, but i think that's a

long shot. so really, what we're getting is what we're getting right now. and then it should be winding down. but it is right on the afternoon commute. and of course, as you know, that makes it kind of makes for a sticky wicket, if you will. so we got the showers, but they're winding down. i'll have the full timing and of this system and then of the next two systems that are headed our way. >> all right. we'll see you in a bit, bill. thank you. well we have live weather coverage throughout the night on the fox local app. you'll be able to watch the radar and get updates from the ktvu weather department. in between live newscasts, the app is a free download for your smart tv. >> new at six fremont police say a man who sexually assaulted a woman as she walked along a very busy stretch of roadway is now in custody as ktvu is. anne rubin reports. police created two good samaritans withholding the suspect until officers arrived. take a good look at marvin velasquez. >> fremont police say this is the man responsible for a violent sexual assault along a very busy street. it's horrific on every level. you never want to see this happen. investigators say it happened

say this plan will leverage technology, resources and interagency expertise to better identify crime trends on a broader level, this opportunity through this regional collaboration will allow us to come together with more coordinated and strategic and intentional efforts to deliver on that model of love life, not just in the city of oakland, but we hope throughout this region, police and city officials from oakland, berkeley, emeryville, san leandro and alameda county made their announcement outside a hotel along hegenberger road in oakland, a corridor that's seen a number of high profile burglaries and business closures. birx police chief jen lewis pointed to recent arrests of alleged apple store thieves, including tyler mims, who police say is seen here stealing 50 iphones from the store at bay street emeryville. he and others were caught with the help of berkeley emeryville and oakland police, as well as the chp. this cruise total haul of about 300 iphones worth more than $300,000. >> some of that was some really good work in connecting jurisdictions, and there was a

fairmont hotel at california and mason streets. bennett's widow helped do the honors. san francisco mayor london breed, the head of the mta, and other officials also showed off the car, which was built in san francisco back in 1907. all right. >> so we had a kind of a rainy afternoon for sure. started off dry for most of us, especially central bay south. and then the rain came in after lunchtime and everybody's getting wet. equal opportunity showers, half an inch of rain in marin county, maybe more than that in the marin watershed. and then quarter inch, half inch in the santa cruz mountains. and most of the heavy activity has moved south. so these are some of the updated numbers we've got for you, representing the bay area. pretty light in oakland. pretty light in concord. just kind of a misty setup there. two hundredths of an inch in san jose. that number will probably move a little bit on the golden gate bridge. the wipers don't appear to be going, but there might be a little drizzle. this is all winding down than it was a nice little weather system

didn't get us into any trouble and that's kind of what we got. we got a storm series, as you know, and you kind of look for the one that's going to give you, give you grief. and today wasn't it we got one on saturday that looks like it's going to be manaable in terms of water. how much we get and if there will be any standing water on roadways or issues. and then the sunday monday thing has a potential to be a little more strong, a little more robust. so that's how this goes. this one is winding off. moving on, weakening. and then we get into your your thursday friday which will be kind of a nice little break. and then we get into rain on friday night into saturday. so there are the scattered showers. and these are the current temperatures as you kind of see what they're looking like . and you're going to see a little valley fog, probably tomorrow morning. forecast overnight lows above freezing. that's a good thing because we've got plenty of moisture in the air. and then this is the model. this is tomorrow morning. so dry morning commuter should be dry. afternoon commute. that's the afternoon. and there's friday morning a lot of clouds friday afternoon. and

then you'll see this thing here actually that's friday evening isn't it. so this is this system that starts to load up for saturday. and you see it come in now. looks pretty good. just the echoes or the depiction of what's to come looks pretty aggressive, especially with these reds in there representing potentially a thunderstorm or potentially a really heavy shower in that area. so that looks like saturday around lunchtime. saturday around two, 3:00. it's going to be the wettest right now. the best day on the weekend looks to be sunday. best day in terms of not not you know, beginning to end showers and then and get into monday. monday looks like a wet commute day forecast highs tomorrow and then the five day forecast. so good little rain event for us. and again didn't have a lot of problems or not having a lot of seeing a lot of problems out there on the roadways. that's good. saturday's will probably be about the same, a little stronger. and then the sunday monday looks like it's going to be a more of a seven. on a scale of ten, i'll see you back here at ten tonight. >> definitely an active stretch ahead. all right bill, thank

you. football is over. spring training is here. giants new manager bob melvin compares his team's young pitching to one of the best teams he managed with the oakland a's. his comments next in sports democrats agree. conservative republican steve garvey is the wrong choice for the senate. ...our republican opponent here on this stage has voted for donald trump twice. mr. garvey, you voted for him twice... as your own man, what is your decision? garvey is wrong ca

but garvey's surging in the polls. fox news says garvey would be a boost to republican control of the senate. stop garvey. adam schiff for senate. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.

day as the niners are now in the market for a new defensive coordinator. head coach kyle shanahan announced that he has fired steve wilks despite just giving up three points in that first half. this moment in the super bowl did not help wilks on the chiefs game winning drive in overtime. shanahan called a timeout after he did not like wilks call for zero coverage. the same call that cost the team a crucial touchdown in a loss to the vikings during the regular season. now, wilks was defensive coordinator for one season after replacing demeco ryans, who is now the head coach of the houston texans. shanahan said today via conference call that wilks was the right coach, but the wrong fit for the 40 niners. it says nothing about steve as a man or as a football coach. >> i mean, he's exactly what we wanted as a man. he is a great football coach, but just where

we're going and where we're at with our team from a scheme standpoint and things like throughout the year, through these last few days, i felt pretty strongly that this was a decision that was best for our organization, and even though it was one i didn't want to make, it's something that i have to do. >> well, giants pitchers and catchers reported to spring training in arizona today. they got their first workout at scottsdale stadium. position players officially report next week. last season, san francisco finished 79 and 83, fourth in the national league west. then they fired manager gabe kapler after four seasons, replacing him with former a's and padres manager bob melvin. starting pitchers alex cobb and robbie ray are not available due to injury, but melvin likes the young talent on the staff, comparing it to a 94 win club he managed in oakland and i'm excited. >> you know, i like good, young, talented pitching. and you know, i was comparing it and talking to farhan about 2012 and oakland

. you know we won the division with five rookie starters at the end of the season. so when you have talent, i think it's refreshing to you know, lean on these guys. >> well the newly announced a's play by play announcer says she is ready for her dream job. i think it's kind of this culmination, this overwhelming feeling of your dreams really can come true. >> and it's never too late to start a new dream. and so i think that's the exciting part of it. >> our jason appelbaum sat down today with jenny cavnar. the broadcaster will be making history as the first female tv play by play announcer in major league baseball. we will have the full interview tonight on the 10:00 news as well. >> how about this lebron james teaming up with steph curry on the warriors. it seems like an almost impossible scenario, but according to reports, golden state reached out to the lakers about acquiring james at the trade deadline with the encouragement of draymond green. warriors owner joe lacob reportedly contacted lakers

owner jeanie buss about james availability. lebron had expressed some public frustration with the team. bus told lacob they had no desire to trade james, but that he should reach out to the superstar's agent to seek an answer to lebron's state of mind regarding that subject. well, when lacob reached out to james agent, the answer was that lebron had no interest in a trade and wanted to remain in los angeles. still it's an intriguing thought for sure. >> and those warriors in action tonight at the chase center against a visiting clippers a good clipper team. good night everyone . west coast rap coming

tonight as a new system brings rain to much of the west coast, with a whole lot more headed our way in the coming days
