francisco and most of our coastal communities. a look at live doppler hd shows you where the real action is heating up and you can see the lightning bolts north of yosemite heading up to a thunderstorm moving through here and the next three hours it is getting more active in the mountains to the north from ukiah to eureka north of chico which is the "ring of fire," if you will out of the thunderstorms and the chances of them the next 36-48 hours. focusing on the winds at 13 miles per hour in livermore and live doppler hd showing napa and novato at ten and 26 in fairfield and those will pick up. but like they were on monday they will be mainly north of the bay bridge and same timeframe the last to days from 2:00 to 9:00 and the southwest wind at 21 to 33 knots will be brisk and choppy later today. here is a look at visible satellite you can see just the straight onshore push of air and moisture that will break up a little bit but we still have delays at sfo of 49-50 minutes

and those in the next hour are so along with the cloud cover will start to dissipate and even san jose is looking cloudy at this hour, this is the reason why, our temperatures are up to nine degree cooler than 24 hours ago. you can see cloudiness there and it will remain this for better part of today. isolated thunderstorm today and tomorrow and sandwiched between our best chance of anything measurable tomorrow morning with drizzle and next then back to normal next week. 70s in most bay neighbors and low 80s headed into inland neighborhood tomorrow. at the game, although we will have mostly cloudy conditions and low-to-mid 60s the u.v. index will be very high. it should be comfortable. drizzle tonight and temperatures are cooler than this morning upper 50s to low 60s. here is the area of low pressure coming ashore and you can see the counter-clockwise flow bringing us the deck of clouds today and the chance of a thunderstorm mainly to our northeast today and mainly those

same areas but tonight into tomorrow it will have a boater chance as we look at drizzle tomorrow a better chance tomorrow of seeing something developing at clear lake, lake county, mendocino county and possibly, northern sonoma county. there could be an isolated shower elsewhere but that would be the best area. temperatures are still below average even friday when we start to see the low pull away and in the wake high pressure builds in and by monday and tuesday we are still looking at 60s at the coast and more 80s and 90s around the bay and inland neighborhood so summer is coming back but it will take awhile and hopefully the drizzle will keep the fire danger down a little bit longer. mike, thank you. a louisiana woman is fighting back after a body shaming incident at an old navy store property her to tears. you may have seen this photo of of rachel tailor. she went shopping for july view

what do a nascar® driver... a comedian... and a professional golfer have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. not this time. not with xarelto®. i'll have another arnold palmer.

make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more ea sily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleedin g, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not tak e xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any kidney liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.
