80-mile-an-hour wind gusts. so it's not looking like a great day to ski today. maybe wait a day or two. here's live doppler 7 where you can see the showers that continue to push through the bay area. the peninsula, 280, 101 on the e coast, san bruno, and we're looking at the coast looking at a bit of a heavier shower down toward half moon bay. so it's been a little dicey here and into the santa cruz mountains around davenport and boulder creek and summit and into san jose seeing some mist, drizzle, a few light showers and then into the mountains we're talking about upper 20s, gusty winds, and still some pretty good snow to arrive today, tonight, and right on through sunday morning. two to five inches. up to ten inches by the crest. and then the winter storm warning 9:00 tomorrow morning is when it expires. one to two feet. so if you want the good skiing,

you'll have to wait a little bit. we had the snow, the rain, now is the dry powdery snow. so it's about 13 inches through tomorrow around donner. so the snow today, the morning snow tomorrow, and sunny on monday. so here's a look where we're 48 degrees in san jose. 49 in mountain view. sunshine there. emeryville looking mostly cloudy. 45 in napa. cruz, maybe a few showers here but folks out there enjoying the beach. scattered showers, spotty cold showers through tomorrow. 1 on the storm impact scale. we're looking at the chance of an isolated thunderstorm. mt. hamilton could see a light dusting. as we go through the day, partly cloudy skies. clouds increase. scattered showers north bay and then this is tonight. you might get your head wet if you're out and about and then throughout the day tomorrow. it does end but we're looking at the colder air in place so we're going to see the cumulus clouds and cold showers with the low snow levels. so through tomorrow looking at a
