a county earlier this evening produced a severe thunderstorm warning. for a time. and now that system basically looks like it's kind of moved out into the valley where it's firing off. currently some thunderstorms up by feather falls, up by chico, moved pretty quickly, but that looks like part of the same complex that just went through saint helena and middletown in those areas. so pretty aggressive cell. that's the biggest one out there right now. we've still got some up around byron, up around stockton in a little bit in oakland, but it's really winding down quite a bit. the flood advisory, as we say, stays in effect through wednesday. and that's because tomorrow we're going to see some more stray showers. not as many, but some more. and of course, any rain at all on the saturated ground is going to give us some grief. so here's the radar
11:20 pm
again. you can see up by vallejo, we got a little something, but it's you see, it's passing down. it's there's less less fuel of oil available with this system. let me do this. i'm going to back this up. this is the model. i'll give you a headache there. okay so here's let's get to tomorrow morning. there's tomorrow morning. and then here we are into tomorrow lunchtime and then tomorrow about 2:00. so maybe something 2:00 tomorrow, but not a big deal. right. and then look at wednesday morning and then the little something wednesday early . and that kind of looks like it too. and then this deal offshore that's a friday saturday thing that has could have a big impact on the weekend. we'll see. we ends outside right now we've got some 22 mile an hour gusts at at napa. uh ten mile an hour winds in fairfield sfo not that windy. much windier earlier this evening and this morning. as you know. and then the temperature forecast for tomorrow. uh, there's going to be a few breaks like i showed you. that model i showed you is going to be pretty close to what's going to happen. so that'll be a little bit
11:21 pm
somewhere around middle of the day we might see some showers scattered showers, maybe even a thunder shower. certainly possible. and then the five day forecast, it depicts the uncertainty here. chance. whenever i put chance in it's like oh man, that could go either way right. so you got tomorrow there definitely is a chance i'd give that chance. plus but friday, saturday and sunday, that's kind of kind of messed up and that it's the weekend and we're not really dialing in with the best weather is going to be right now. it looks like a not a huge event at all, but it does look like it could be wet with that cut off low that's going to linger. so again, let's just get closer to it. we'll talk more about this and we'll really have it dialed in by thursday is what i'm saying. right now. it's kind of just sitting there. we're not sure. so don't don't freak out if your weekend looks wet. it may not be as wet as is being portrayed there. >> sounds good bill. thank you. pro-palestinian activists making their voices heard today in san francisco, a demonstration briefly blocked traffic on the central freeway in the city. the protesters tried to use this president's day to pressure
