the way they reinterpret it, and their facial expresses are amazing. it's thumbs up. >> girls! >> for others it might just be the makings of a new christmas tradition. >> it's amazing it's pretty much verbatim. it's pretty much right on. >> the golden girls, the christmas episode, runs now through the 21st in san francisco. abc7 news. >> a packed house night after night. weather-wise, lisa, a lot of kids are returning home from college this weekend. and at least they get a break from the rain today. but some changes are on the way. >> but if you are planning to head up to the sierra nevada they have you have to watch the forecast carefully because not so many breaks in the week ahead. that will obviously include some dicey travel around the state. live doppler 7hd showing the moisture in the clouds. and due to the high clouds, that is inhibiting some of the fog development around the bay. so not quite as dense or

widespread as it was yesterday but we still have the fog in pockets. dense fog advisory for the san joaquin valley and the cold front still sits far offshore. most of you will see an entirely dry day today with a few light scattered showers towards evening. we will pinpoint where and when just in a minute. 46 in san jose right now. 43 in morgan hill. cool locations around the bay. not as chilly as yesterday but we are getting used to the d.c. chill with just a week left of autumn. we begin the winter season next sunday. sfo right now probably some delays stacking up later on. 45 in concord. 46 livermore. with mid-40s up in santa rosa. here is a check of the visibilities in miles. 2.5 miles in fairfield with 3 miles santa rosa and just a little fog out toward concord. livermore also. the usual. not as bad, the clouds will then out. we will see a little bit of sun as high pressure stays with us for another day.

then the rain arrives toward evening and we will look for more rain chance was a couple of additional waves right behind this front tomorrow. and tuesday into wednesday. then that will add up and hopefully bring the reservoirs up a little bit because with the ground so, so dry, the past deluge we had did soak into the ground and the reservoirs still need some work. 10:00 tonight some showers. san francisco, the peninsula, overnight things get going. we will see more rain toward the morning commute. but as we go toward the early afternoon, look if he heavy rain all across the bay. in fact, the bulk of the heaviest activity should be south of the santa cruz mountains but by the afternoon commute still rain becoming more widely scattered, though, and then comes another push of energy on tuesday and finally into wednesday. so rainfall totals through tuesday morning anywhere from a half-inch to two inches. and that probably will be in the coastal ranges here.
