>> well, the california ski association points out there are still a couple of months of potential skiing left before spring. keep in mind there have been other years big storms have come in late and saved the season. which turns up the pressure on lisa. >> lisa will let us know if that is going to be happening in the real near future. >> this system is not going to bring precip there but we are looking at another system coming in tomorrow that could bring in a couple inches. >> they are looking forfeit, lisa. >> i know they are looking forfeit. up know, we are looking for several inches of rain here and that's not going to happen either. as we head outside, look at the interesting clouds from the roof camera. we have clouds from low level to about 3,000 feet. so we are looking at some moisture around the bay this morning. the system is weak. it continues to slide to the south and east of us. live doppler 7 hd shows that the activity will be heading south and east, but still a few light showers out there. more in the form of mist and

drizzle than anything. and a little bit closer inspection shows that really the radar having a hard time picking up this low-level moisture, which is anywhere from 2,000 feet are lower. that's why you are seeing it on your windshield, on the road ways, and then it continues to sink south. high pressure will be building in later on today. 51 right now in oakland. it's 49 in fairfield, and we've had a little fog from santa rosa down through mountain view. but, boy, what a warmer start to the day, as much as 11, 12 degrees warmer than yesterday morning. the scattered light showers and then partial afternoon clearing today. we will look for a little more rain to head our way tomorrow evening. that's not until about 8:00. the clouds will be increasing throughout the afternoon. and this system could bring anywhere from a quarter to half-inch of rain. as i said, just a little bit of sierra snow. here's a look at this first weak system. so you will notice that the clouds, a few of them in the sierra nevada, a little moisture to the north around the

mountains of mount shasta. but otherwise this system continues to sink south and not a whole lot to it. so it's a trough, and you will notice here from our satellite and radar imagery it's already pushing over the bay area. it is going to take a couple more hours, and by about 11:00, 12:00 we will see the clouds begin to thin out. quickly behind it the next system, the upper level low may push over the bay area tomorrow bringing a little more rain. 61 fresno with 64 los angeles. partly to mostly cloudy skies here. numbers in the 40s in lake tahoe so definitely not too cold out there. here's a look at the cloud cover. a few areas of mist and drizzle out there through 1:00. even the later afternoon we could see a few light showers. p.m. comes into overnight into the early part of sunday. then by noontime we are looking at increasing clouds north and then they head south. the rain doesn't come until about 8:00 sunday night. more showers overnight. here we are monday morning a few

leftover scattered showers but by the afternoon we are still looking at perhaps east bay light showers and some snow around the mount hamilton. the next system a little more oomph than the one we are look at right now. 61 fremont and san jose for the afternoon. a little bit of rain here and there throughout the early afternoon around gilroy and then 62. here's the first weak system heading out today. the next one mainly overnight. late in the evening tomorrow through the overnight hours and then there's another chance valentine's night into wednesday, with just a little bit more rain. barely significant systems, although the one tomorrow will bring some light to moderate rain. >> the hope is very important. and when you talk about snow on mount hamilton the folks in the sierra are thinking if that's going to get a little, we will get a lot. >> this one is making a little bit and the temperatures are cold so you saw the pictures. it looks good there. >> thanks, lisa.

7 on your side's michael finney said all that mail led to at least one worrisome mix-up. >> they are back. credit card offers in your mailbox. ms. miller gets one a week and each week she makes sure they go in here. >> i shred it and i know it's been disposed of. >> that way thieves can't possibly get a hold of one and try to obtain a credit card in her name, except now she can't be sure of that. >> i just noticed that the name and address on the application wasn't me. >> marlene received the citibank credit card offer with they're -- their name and address on the envelope, but inside the flicks was preprinted with the name and address of a complete stranger, someone named belle. it said that woman's name and address would appear on her new credit card. now marlene is worried. if she has belle's application, who has hers? >> since mine went to someone else presumably, i have no idea what they did with it, whether

they shredded it, tossed it out or were trying to do something nepharious with it. >> once more it lets customers change the address on the account, which marlene found even more scary. >> someone could try to get a credit card sent to them based on my credit record. >> she photocopied the mailer and sent the original back to the bank, warning citi not to open an account in her name. when she didn't hear back marlene contacted 7 on your side and we took this to consumer action asking is there a reason to worry? >> usually you would have to have a couple other pieces of the puzzle in order to commit identity theft with just the preapproved credit card application. but for a determined identity thief it's not that hard to determine those pees of the puzzle. >> so we contacted citibank, which investigated right away.

mixup was an isolated incident saying we are committed to protecting our client's information and take it seriously. we have safeguards in place to verify consumers' information and have confirmed there are no open accounts for this individual. >> probably nothing is going to happen, but it's disconcerting. >> if you want to stop the flow of credit card offers to your mailbox, it there is an easily to easily opt out of getting them. i have all that information posted, just go to abc7 news.com. i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. >> coming up, the rock. >> it's made it worse. >> dwayne johnson's new movie, a 3d trip to a fantasy island. don sanchez is on the isle next. ñ tell me i'm beautiful...
