an inch of rain. so not a big soaking storm by any means. a stronger storm looks to arrive here on tuesday. this one looks to be a two on our storm impact scale. moderate storm. it has rain, but it also has the addition of gusty winds. so future weather will jump ahead to your tuesday morning. i think tuesday morning, this is when we'll likely see gusty winds between 20 and say 40 miles per hour along with the soaking showers. and these showers look to even last with another wave of rain into wednesday, and wednesday itself looks rather wet as well. so the seven-day forecast, it's a bright but chilly start to 2016. clouds arrive on saturday. a chance of rain late sunday and into monday. a stronger storm arrives on tuesday, and rain chances of wednesday and thursday. >> we're ready. thanks for the warning. >> thanks, drew. when we continue, we have the heartbreaking story of smurf, the 8-week-old kitten. >> find out why he's blue and why he'll need surgery before
