pretty trophy. >> we'll get it next year. let's check out the weather. >> let me show you something very impressive. all those storms, dan and ama, have made a huge difference. pretty much the entire state has been wiped out of the drought. there's only a small sliver in southern california that's dry and a small sliver in the northern part of the state that's dry to moderate. bay area out of the drought but still conserve water. let me show you the february rainfall. average rainfall for santa rosa 6.4 inches. we have almost tripled that amount for month the, almost 17 inches. san francisco getting close to 8 inches of rain. nearly double what it typically averages. same thing for san jose, just over 3 inches, close to double. big, big difference in february in terms of our stormy conditions. and if you're looking for more rain chances, we will have more opportunities for rain beginning

on saturday and going into sunday. level 1 system, then level 2s for tuesday, wednesday, and a level 1 for thursday. so i do want to show you a live picture in just a moment. right now live doppler 7, notice there's plenty of cloud cover. temperatures are falling, mostly in the 40s, 50s. it is going to be a chilly night. a sparkly view of san francisco. dry tomorrow. rain develops late tomorrow night and a stronger storm is coming our way the middle of next week with an atmospheric river. first thing tomorrow morning, cold enough to where you will need the extra layers. grab your jacket or coat before you go. 30s, 40s in the morning. tomorrow afternoon temperatures coming up a few degrees. most of you in the upper 50s to low 60s for your friday. now the storm impact scale comes in. a light level 1 system for saturday. light to moderate rain. most areas about .4 inches to 1 inch. it will be breezy at times. hour by hour, 11:00 tomorrow night a few showers developing in santa cruz and the south bay. notice this is a southern

trajectory. so first part of the system comes in from the south and lifts northward. so the north way is not expected to get hit hard by this. as a matter of fact, the moderate to heavy rain will be short-lived saturday morning between 5:00 and 8:00 a.m. then it pushes out quickly with just scattered lighter showers through the late morning, early afternoon, into the evening hours. this is not going to stall out other the north bay like that atmospheric river did. this one is not an atmospheric river event, it's one of those run-of-the-mill storms. in terms of totals we're expecting .4 to 1 inch of rain. notice heavier totals in places like ben lomond, hayward, livermore, less in the north bay. winter storm watch 10:00 p.m. tomorrow night until 4:00 a.m. sunday. 2 feet of snow expected in the peaks. accuweather seven-day forecast, chance of showers late tomorrow night. morning rain saturday turning to afternoon showers, lingering showers on sunday. it's a level 1. dry monday.

then that atmospheric river for tuesday, wednesday, biggest difference with that one, it's going to go more in towards the central and southern part of the state. so this one should deliver more rain to the southern end of our viewing area, not the north bay, where they certainly don't need the rain. >> thanks, sandhya. floodwaters in the north bay and north area start to recede but not before incredible and sometimes quirky images. tomorrow on "good morning america," weezer performs live in times
