we'll start off on a serious note. weekend rain is not a lot but it will slow the outlet of water from clear lake so we still have the flood warning at lake port until monday. flood stage is at 9 and currently we're at 9.63 so it is going down slowly. and from emeryville, it is hazy out there. clouds on the increase and highs are decreasing today. chance of weekend rain and thunderstorms and even some snow and first signs of spring warmth, 70s next week. and here is a look at what we're looking at our temperatures for today. 58 in half moon bay and san francisco. and then about 60 to 65 for the rest of us. here is the way it looks. this is from mt. tam, by 4:00 mainly inland and then low to mid-50s and milder than last evening and it will be dry as will most of the overnight hours. but notice the clouds keep us up during the overnight. mid-40s to low 50s. here is a look at cold front.

look at that cold arctic air coming down behind it. so it is a fast-moving system with limited moisture and arctic air behind it and about 475 miles away from us. so our storm impact scale is a one, it is light. light to moderate rain possible tomorrow with showers and even thunderstorms possible sunday and a snow level down to 2500 feet. we could see hail and graupel. tomorrow scattered light showers and best chance of anything up in mendocino and then down in through the north bay and the yellow is pockets of moderate that will develop. and then as we head into the afternoon hours, you could see starting to slide through the rest of our neighborhoods. so there could be light to moderate showers but it is moving so quickly. it is out of here by 11:00. and then i don't think we'll see flooding and probably no wind damage here. so rainfall amounts by saturday evening, about a quarter to half inch. and then about a half inch to possibly three quarters of an inch by the time we get to sunday. now if you are heading to the

sierra, you have to watch out. a lot of heavy snow, down to the lake level, up to a foot and a half on pass levels up to a foot of snow and that is through most of the weekend. so you got to be careful getting up there. it is fine today and tomorrow morning. getting home is going to be gnarly. we have some scattered showers that will linger through at least monday. look at temperatures in the 50s on monday and sunday and then the 70s overspread us wednesday and thursday. >> thank you. >> what? >> it is not a wash-out but definitely wet from time to time. >> look at some selfies and you'll be okay. >> all right. >> the cost of a costco member is what you are going to talk about. >> it is not going up a lot. by about $5 for most of us, if you have a gold star and a business membership and that is june 1st. you are going to see a bigger increase if you have an executive membership. that is going to $120 and currently it is $110. this is as he reported second quarter earning falling short of
