snow they could get coming up in the full accuweather forecast. a 5-year-old girl in the east bay was diagnosed with fanconi anemia. it's a rare disease that just 31 kids develop every year in the >> reporter: little nora has the energy of your average 5-year-old, at least for now. >> she is so brave and she has kept us brave. >> reporter: but over the summer she was diagnosed with fanconi anem anemia. it's a rare disease that interferes with a body's ability to repair its dna. if untreated, there's a 90% chance that nora will develop leukemia or bone marrow failure. >> we've got speech appointments, occupational therapy appointments, oncology appointments. we are just in appointment land and still trying to hold down two full-time jobs. >> reporter: life has been tough on little nora but the family is not giving up. they have launched a national

campaign to get more people to become bone marrow donors, just needing that one match to save her life. >> we know that is in some ways our way out of this. that's the cure. it's heart breaking. we love her. it's really hard. >> reporter: what's even harder, finding a match. >> when we talk about bone marrow matches, it's incredibly difficult because there's 42 trillion variations of it. >> reporter: and even if they find a match, there's still a long road ahead. >> so if the new immune system doesn't recognize the patient's body, that can cause problems. >> reporter: right now the family says they're just thankful she's not sick. >> right now we're so grateful that nora gets to have her childhood. >> reporter: because they know the next few years will be crucial. good morning, i'm meteorologist frances dinglasan.

we are tracking some light rain falling over parts of the north bay with live doppler 7 and the satellite image. we've already had a few hundredths of an inch in santa rosa and mt. tam. here's a live view from the east bay looking over the gray skies. calm waters right now over the bay. temperatures are mostly in the 50s. san francisco 56, oakland 55, san jose and morgan hill a little cooler right now at 51 degrees. and you'll find a few sprinkles on our mt. tam live camera shot where we saw some rain earlier. and in the north bay we are seeing some fog as well. in santa rosa right now, 52 degrees. fog in concord, 54 degrees. livermore cooler at 49 degrees. as we look out toward the bay and the beautiful bay bridge, waters are pretty calm, winds are light but that will change tomorrow. here's what you need to know about the forecast. for today you can expect some scattered showers, but this is mainly confined to the north bay. so the rest of us will be dry. another storm arrives tomorrow, and i'll tell you a little more about this. and then if you're looking for a break from all the rain, a dry

pattern starts on monday, martin luther king jr. day, and continues through the workweek. highs today will be above average. in fact we'll even see partly sunny conditions through the south bay. san jose warming up to 66 degrees this afternoon. san francisco 61, oakland 63. so it will be dry for many of the women's marches around the bay area. but in the north bay where we'll see scattered showers throughout the day temperatures will hit the low 60s this afternoon. now, overnight tonight rain will start to move in. temperatures will mostly be in the low 50s. and here's what you can expect for the storm tomorrow. on our storm impact scale we're ranking it a 1. it's going to be light. we're expecting anywhere from a fourth of an inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain. we'll get more rain in the north bay and this fast-moving storm will bring gusty winds, 30 to 40 miles per hour, even up to 50 miles per hour in some of the higher elevation. it's also bringing a very slight chance of thunderstorms.

i want to show you the forecast animation so you can see what kind of rainfall to expect throughout the day. we've got spotty light showers throughout the day. this evening again we could see sprinkles as far south as san francisco, but mostly in the north bay. then the next system arrives tomorrow during the early morning hours. it will hit the north bay first and then it will slide south. this cold system will also bring showers to everyone around the bay area as well as some strong winds. it will start to taper off overnight into tomorrow morning. we'll see a few sprinkles for martin luther king jr. day but then mostly dry. also just a heads up, there's a winter storm watch in effect tomorrow morning through monday morning. if you're heading to and from tahoe, tomorrow would not be a good day to drive. do it today or wait until monday. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast, scattered showers, again mostly for the north bay. temperatures mild, above average. mid-60s for many areas. tomorrow will be windy with showers as well and after that cold front moves through, we'll have a cooler but dry day for

martin luther king jr. day. then high pressure builds and we'll see lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures through the workweek. >> already looking forward to that, frances, thank you. in sports this afternoon, the sharks will try to rebound from wednesday's loss that snapped their seven-game winning streak. san jose faces the tampa bay lightning at 4:00 p.m. the warriors have a couple of days off in l.a. they plate lakers on monday but last night they faced the clippers at staples center and also welcomed demarcus cousins to the starting lineup. larry beil has the highlights in this morning's sports. good morning, everybody. demarcus cousins made his warriors debut last night, the man they call boogie, playing his first game in almost a year after tearing his achilles tendon. i tell you what, he looked pretty good. warriors were in l.a. facing the clippers. he was really nervous, had butterflies. with authority. that's the way to get rid of the butterflies. second possession -- that was his first basket for golden state. got the scowl working still.

cousins can shoot the three-ball. 6 points in the first half in just 7.5 minutes. the bench is loving it. these guys want cousins to succeed. here's a good sign running the floor after playing some "d," easy layup. warriors up by as many as 13. how about steph curry, so smooth and in control. dribbling through the entire defense, had 14 points in the third quarter, finished with a game-high 28. a little crossover here, a little pullup here. third quarter, boogie -- if you leave him wide open like that, he's going to knock them down. scored 14 points in 15 minutes. 6 rebounds, 3 assists. classic cousins. he also fouled out. dubs win their seventh straight 112-94. here's boogie after the game. >> this is probably one of the best days of my life just being out there on the floor again, playing the game that i love. my teammates were great. they supported me through this entire process. the organization has supported me through this entire process.

college hoops, noodle headband night. number 6 stanford hosting washington. alanna smith doesn't need headbands, she just gets buckets. 27 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocked shots. the cardinal run away from the huskies 91-54 and the cal women beat wazoo. australian open. third round action. rain has been a problem. no level 3s there, just some occasional delays. serena williams, age 37, taking on 18-year-old diana yastremska. first set no problems for serena, won that 6-2. this would be a nonissue, no threat here. serena to the fourth round easily, 6-2, 6-1. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend, everybody. i'm larry beil. >> next, why people will be

everyone heading out there for that. >> today will be a better day to do anything outdoors because we have a system on its way tomorrow. we're dealing with the tail end of one bringing light rain through parts of the north bay. you can see it on live doppler 7. the chance of light rain an showers continue in the north bay but temperatures will be above average, mainly in the 60s for everyone, even 66 with more sunshine in san jose today. so the women's marches will be dry, but expect some scattered showers to continue throughout the north bay throughout the day. tomorrow it's going to be windy and a cold front will move through, bringing us some cooler temperatures. so it's going to be wet and cold tomorrow, but then finally dry by martin luther king jr. day. then we have high pressure building, plenty of sunshine, a little bit of a spring preview by the end of the workweek. if you're looking for a break, it's coming starting on monday. in fact most of today will be pretty much dry as long as you're not in the north bay. >> it's been nice to have a break the past couple of days after what we experienced this past week. >> we could use it. >> frances, thanks. and thanks to you for joining
