early on. it's going to be very slow to depart, even midday. we have a lot of cloud cover out there. it's not going to be as bright of a day tomorrow as it is today. those clouds are all ahead of that storm system we're tracking moving in on wednesday. so the storm impact scale, we bring it back on wednesday. this will be a moderate storm, a 2 on the storm impact scale. the winds will turn strong and gusty into the evening as well and there will be a wide range in the rainfall. future weather showing you as we go into the wednesday morning commute we'll likely have some light showers moving into the region. they're really scattered in nature for the first half of your day on wednesday. then wednesday afternoon you notice the pops of weather on your screen. that's when we see the downpours first arrive in the north bay, slowly get to the center of the bay but it does lose a lot of its punch late wednesday into early thursday. that's why we have a wide range in rainfall. the north bay certainly will see the heaviest of the rain. 1 to perhaps 2 inches of rain on wednesday. once that system becomes its

trek south, it's going to do so rather quickly so the heart of the region about a half of an inch to an inch of rain. there is that pocket, about a tenth to a half of an inch of rain. what will be widespread, the wind gusts. future tracker wind gusts along the coast first in the afternoon. over 40 miles per hour. but then ahead of that cold front wednesday evening, the winds turn rather gusty across the region so the threat is there for power outages wednesday evening. accuweather seven-day forecast will show you tomorrow enjoy it. increasing clouds. wednesday it's wet and windy. thursday scattered showers. more heavy rain friday morning and another storm coming on saturday morning. >> thank you, drew. >> sure. coming up, the big top is coming down for good. today ringling bros. officials tell us why they're closing down after nearly 150 years.

economic and social circumstances and the help of technology have together increased our population's intelligence. luckily, the very dna that decides how smart we are seems to have made up for any genetic losses in human iq. with this medical minute, i'm dr. timothy johnson. scientists worldwide are gawking at a new image of the planet venus. a japanese space probe orbiting venus in 2015 spotted what's believed to be the largest gravity wave ever recorded. that's what the large slash there represents. an atmosphere gravity wave is similar to a ripple in the water. this one stretched for more than 6,000 miles. abc 7 news at 4:00 continues. up next, two businessmen going head to head. who really owns lefty o'doul's? the latest. and dan is here with a look at what's coming up at 5:00. >> thanks very much. coming up next, the struggle for equality hits the california surf. >> this isn't my beach, this
