bit. mild, anywhere from 20 degrees warmer in spots to about 10 to 15 degrees warmer for a low to mid-50s. you can see the wet weather here blowing throughout the golden gate bridge. we are looking at the gusty winds up to some 40 miles an hour throughout the day. it's 50 by the delta and more 50s on the coast. it's been gusty at half moon bay, santa rosa and elsewhere. hasn't gotten going yet but the winds behind the front and question will have some strong winds, anywhere from 40 to 50 miles per hour. that could possibly bring down a few trees and maybe even a power line. with the fog in santa rosa, san francisco, it's very slick out there. just going to get worse before it gets better. possibility of a thunderstorm with the passage of the front and maybe mt. hamilton could see a little bit of dusting of snow. our storm impact scale with this one on the way in the next few hours about bring down the downpours and we ranked it a

number two. at 6:00 you notice the heavy band of rain and the cold front to the north. by 8:00 it's still pressing through santa rosa, pushing into marin county. at 9:00 it's oakland and emeryville and san mateo. but san jose and santa clara, looks like about 10:00 and afterwards, through 1:00 you will get the heaviest downpours here, the very gusty winds. it will last throughout the early afternoon. then the showers here. with the colder air, this is where we could get that thunderstorm activity or snow accumulation. we are looking at about a half-inch for most. and more in the higher elevations. take a look at the wind profile. it starts out with the gusty winds but as the front pushes through we have 40 miles an hour winds at point reyes. 44 san francisco. 9:00 san jose, not to be outdone at 25, 30 miles an hour gusts. at 4:00 we are still gusty along the coast. see sierra nevada looking it he winter storm warning throughout the day. in fact know two to three inches per hour, anywhere from a foot

and a half in donner to about 20 inches in kirkwood. the rain throughout the afternoon, the heaviest from the north bay into the morning and into the south bay by early afternoon. then we are dry and cold for monday and tuesday. maybe a scattered coastal shower on monday and the next chance of rain not with us until the end of the week and the models disagreeing on that. a dryer, northerly flow will take over after this sloppy system pushes through. >> i've been trying to do my holiday shopping, trying to get it out of the way on the dry days. >> that's a good idea. >> mobile technology keeps us connected. it helps us at work. but last week a handful of starters were honored for using that technology to save and improve people's lives. as abc7 news reporter jonathan bloom explains, it comes with big prize money from one of the biggest names in the industry. >> we are going 230 meet some very special people who are working to create a better world
