morning to the afternoon. do plan ahead if you're going to be in the area on sunday. >> great run. great cause. the question is will the weather cooperate on sunday? >> that's right. spencer, we want an answer. >> i'm happy to say that the more than 10,000 runners will be running under nice running conditions. it will be dry. before that happens we have wet weather coming our way. race conditions for sunday, we're going to have a few lingering clouds and early morning hours, but it's going to be a mainly sunny day in the afternoon. so temperatures in the upper 40s in the morning as the runners get started. and we'll see temperatures rising. just a few degrees into the midday and afternoon hours. it's going to be a lovely day for whenever you're -- the length of your race. a marathon, half marathon or 5k. let's take a look at the storm approaching. that's coming in tomorrow. it ranks 1 on the storm impact scale. a storm of light intensity producing maybe up to 3/4 inch of rainfall. higher amounts over the hills. it's going to be gusty from time to time. 35 to 45 miles per hour winds.

overnight lows as the storm approaches will be mainly in the mid- to upper 40s, and then highs in the afternoon as the storm sweeps eastward and southward. it will be mainly int the upper 50, perhaps to 60 in the south bay. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast after a level 1 storm tomorrow. we get clearing for most of the weekend, but maybe late night rain on sunday. then each of the next four day, monday, tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, we expect some periods of rain. so it's going to be a pretty wet week with little sunny breaks here and there. don't expect too many of them, though. >> all right. this, spencer. >> really. say thank you. >> larry.llri of villovhero
