so the call, overnight a mixture of stars and clouds out there. temperatures mainly in the 30s, away from the water, a couple of low 40s like san francisco and rich mand and asan mateo, but the bigger story overnight and first thing tomorrow morning is patchy dense fog. so future weather does show you the shades of white you see on your screen, that is a fog early in the morning. 5:00. by 9:00 much of the fog is burning off away from the bay and that will lead to a sunny afternoon on the way on sunday. and temperatures very similar to where they were this afternoon tomorrow. so you are three-day forecast will show you, you will like tomorrow. sunshine in the afternoon after the morning patchy fog. it is a really nice holiday around here on monday. nothing but sunshine from start to finish. and even tuesday we're mild inland, going into the low 60s. but what you notice on tuesday will start off with sunshine but the clouds will build in ahead of the storm system that will arrive on wednesday. so we bring back the storm impact scale on wednesday, this is going to be a two, a moderate storm. it will bring showers with scattered downpours and mixed in. also in the evening, the winds are going to pick up and once again gusty. so the biggest threat with this

storm system on wednesday will be more power outages and tree limbs coming down. so future weather will get you into wednesday. watch the time stamp. 2:00 in the afternoon, still much of the rain confined north of the golden gate. not until the evening hours of wednesday, by 8:00 or 9:00, the rain will sink south. but as it does, the winds pick up. so future-tracker wind gusts shows you 4:00 in the afternoon, winds picking up along the coast and then the winds move around the bay and by 8:00 or 9:00, the winds gusting over 40 miles per hour. so that is why the threat is there for more power outages mid-week. potential rainfall with this system, a wide range of rainfall. the north bay will see the highest totals because the storm system will linger there for the longe longest. so about three quarters to an inch and a half of rain and we'll see that set up once again where the rain shadow effect takes hold around the south bay and inland so up to a quarter of inch around livermore and hayward and san jose and some spots in yellow could end up

with no measurable precip so that is something we are tracking but do not fear. by friday we're going to see soaking showers move in. future weather by friday morning, look at this, the pop of red over the south bay and inland looks like a widespread rainfall to end the week. we're tracking it. accuweather seven-day forecast going to show you on sunday, we have patchy morning fog, by monday it is a nice holiday. look at that. tons of sunshine. by tuesday, late-day clouds out there. and then wednesday, everything changes. a two on the storm impact scale. some scattered showers on thursday but by friday, eric, it looks like everyone has a good shot of seeing some heavy rain. >> you had me at heavy rain. >> you'll love it. >> thanks a lot. now abc 7 sports with mike shumann. >> well the falcons got no respect coming into the post-season but today in atlanta they took care of the seahawks in commanding fashion. matt ryan or mattie ice as they call him in the atl ripped the seattle secondary apart for three touchdown passes. hawks start with a 89 yard drive

experienced a christmas day loss but he would like to help rectify this losing streak. >> just play the game every day, trying to think too much and just go out there and play and that is what makes our team so good, we play off instincts and we play with a -- with a joy and a passion where we don't really think about too much, we just go out there and play and coach does a great job of putting us in really good positions to be successful. >> pac-12, cal hosting washington state. klay thompson on hand. double-double, 14 points, 12 boards and he and charlie moore finishing with the left hand. under a minute to play and bird with the only field goal of the game hits the three and puts the bears up four and cal wins 58-45 the final. for the women, top ranked uconn breaks their own record with the 91 straight victory as they take care of smu in dallas. they scored the first 21 points as samuelson led the way with 28
