it's sunday, may 19th. good morning and thanks so much for joining us. i'm chris nguyen. let's start with a first look at the accuweather forecast. here's meteorologist lisa argen tracking live doppler 7. >> hey, chris, it's pretty active. we have a 1 on our storm impact scale today with a line of thunderstorms pushing through the bay area right now. we're looking at scattered showers the rest of the day, still a lingering chance of thunder. you can see the returns and that heavy rain up in the north bay. some embedded hail, perhaps, if you have a thunderstorm from mark west springs, santa rosa, down through highway 101, you can see central marin, the coast there, and look at the

thunderstorms off of point rays. we go deeper out into the ocean, you can see more lightning bolts there. and finally, to the south there, some heavier rain off the coast of half moon buy. so this is because an unstable air mass is overhead, it will continue to be ripe for thunderstorms today, and that's because an area o psse will be moving over the bay area. as we go through the next several hours, check it out, 10, 11:00. we'll get some peeks of sun. and it's not going to be raining all day like it was yesterday, but likely for the bay to breake breakers, we will be looking at some scattered showers with temperatures in the low 50s. another cool day today. we'll talk about a warm-up in a few minutes. chris? >> lisa, thank you. happening today, 40,000 runners will pack the streets of san francisco for this year's bay to breakers race. whether they're serious competitors or just out to have some fun, they'll all have something in common. everyone can expect to get a little wet. liz kroits tells us more. >> reporter: if you want to know when it last rained during bay

to breakers, charlie is a pretty good person to ask. >> probably in 1990, that was a tough one, because it rained all day, rained all race. that was a tough race. '98 was another rainy day. >> reporter: how does charlie know this? >> this is my knee, brianna, and she's coming with me as i run my 35th consecutive bay to breakers. >> reporter: that's right. 35. and in those three-plus decades, he can only remember it raining twice. in 2011, he says the rain stopped just before the race started. here's hoping that that happens tomorrow, right? >> you bet! absolutely. >> reporter: but even if the rain gods aren't on their side, runners don't really seem to care. >> it's so alive. the race itself, it's so there many costumes, so many people. i don't really appreciate the naked people, but it's part of it, too. it's the whole san francisco culture and this is what california is about. >> reporter: right now the only change organizers have made is the time people should arrive here. instead of the corrals opening at 6:00 a.m., they're opening at 6:30. that will give people a half hour more to stay dry.

>> reporter: some runners are also making changes. and mario they're no longer going to bring their 2-year-old son. >> he might get wet and uncomfortable. >> reporter: nate and kathy george say they're now packing ponchos. >> i'm prepared. >> reporter: and as charlie will tell you, it could always be worse. >> rain is actually better than heat. the ones that kill you are when we have a 75 or 80-degree 8:00 morning in san francisco, like we've had on a few occasions. >> reporter: liz kroits, abc 7 news. >> ponchos and umbrellas were added to the pomp and circumstance during yesterday's graduation ceremony at uc berkeley. the rain started not long after caal graduates as well as their family and friends took their seats at memorial stadium. umbrellas are normally not allowed, but cal officials made an exception. >> i'm absolutely ready for the weather. you've got to stay prepared in berkeley. >> we're from southern california, so we're not used to this. but we came equipped.

multiple lightning strikes here by the beach and along the san mateo coast. this is all moving from west to east and it's in a line that will move quickly over the bay area, in time perhaps for the returns. and this area of low pressure is getting set to move over the state today. so this is going to keep us all in that unstable sector where we can see a thunderstorm, showers, and once again, that cool weather anywhere from a quarter of an inch to an additional half inch of rain expected today. 55 in oakland. it is 49 in fremont. it's chilly out there. and we're looking at not only a day today with showers and a possible thunderstorm, temperatures 15, maybe even 20 degrees below average. it will be partly cloudy to sunny tomorrow. it will be breezy. and then another system wants to arrive, with much less energy on tuesday. we'll get to that in a moment. but here's the line that moves through at 6:30. then at 8:30, you'll notice a bit of a break. but look what happens. still more showers out there, 10:30, looking at some wet

into the afternoon. your evening commute, we've got a chance of rain here and then this will pull on out of here by wednesday. the atmosphere still looks a little bit unstable for the rest of the week, but we're going to focus on the rest of the weekend in the next few days. right now the accuweather seven-day forecast, 50s at the coast, upper 50s around the bay, low 60s inland. so showers breezy, chance of a thunderstorm. one on our storm impact scale, a break tomorrow. it will be blustery out there. here comes the next system on tuesday. we're drying out wednesday and then thursday, we're looking at more clouds and perhaps maybe another system wants to visit us, but i'm not convinced. that's why i don't have it on the panels here. download our accuweather app and we'll say in the mid-70s. memorial day weekend is next weekend, and at this point it looks pretty good, but may has been full of surprises. so we'll focus on the next few days, the next few hours, very wet out there. >> lisa, thank you. abc's new brand, localish, is sharing inspiring stories in a local digital series called more in common.

bay area forecast with meteorologist lisa argen. >> good morning, chris. some of you looking at some heavy downpours right now. the rest of you in the east bay and spb, not so much, but it is on the way. shaky emeryville camera, where you'll notice that the winds in the upper elevations up to about 30, 35 miles an hour. and we are just getting started with another round of rain out there, as the area of low pressure that is bringing -- that has brought all the rain yesterday with the cold front is on the way today. this is how much rain we had in the past 24 hours, over an inch in santa rosa, as well as san rafael. and over three quarters of an inch here in san francisco, a half inch in livermore down in san jose. about a quarter of an inch and in the east bay, a third of an inch in antioch with about an inch or so by the delta. so we'll continue to see maybe a quarter inch to a half inch. a live look outside from our roof camera. we can see those threatning clouds out there as lightning, thunder, and some hail is offshore. here's some downpours just east

of highway 29. in yountville, way up into the north bay, we go further south, check out this around sears point, highway 37, black point. some very heavy rain, likely a thunderstorm here. you see the lightning strikes there. and as we go closer to the coast, the marin county coast, west marin, we have lightning all offshore. mere beach getting hammered right now and as we get to the south bay and the peninsula, we notice, final looking at the rain from 280, belmont, off the coast of the south bay, the santa cruz mountains will see the rain. in the next 30 minutes or so, you'll notice pescadero and the rest of the bay has not been seen any rain since the overnight hours. it's been a break. that's all about to change as this line continues to slide over to the east. here's the low. that's going to allow for the possibility of thunderstorms throughout the day today. it is a 1 on our storm impact scale, scattered showers, quarter inch to half inch. and a look at the golden gate bridge, where we see the wet pavement and the dark clouds

there. 58 in mountain view. 48 in san jose. and from walnut creek, you have that nice break now, but don't get to used to it. we're looking at the rain headed your way within the next couple of hours. 53 in concord, 51 in livermore, with 50 for you up in santa rosa. no delays yet. this is sfo, but it is raining. so perhaps those delays stacking up later this morning. showers, possible thunderstorms, sunny, breezy tomorrow. we get a break, and more rain is arriving on tuesday. the system, much, much weaker, though. here's the line of thunderstorms. it looks like right around race time, we will have maybe a break, but it's not going to last. we'll have the cloud cover. we'll have a few peeks of sun. and look at what happens through the 10:00 hour. more showers lined up around the bay. and sunshine adds to the instability and we're going to see more rain, maybe some heavy downpours right on through the afternoon with this system not exiting until probably about after about 8:00 tonight. so the totals once again, everyone getting wet today, not as wet as yesterday, but still,

if you have graduation or outdoor plans, you will have to dodge some showers. we talked about the chain controls for the west slope of the sierra nevada and for tahoe, 6 to 10 inches likely to still come for the mountains through 5:00 tomorrow morning, so 50s to near 60 today. and as you get going on monday, we're cloudy, but we're dry, and monday night, say about midnight into tuesday, that's when we're looking at this next system, spreading the chance of rain. it is a much weaker system, but still, it keeps us in that unsettled weather pattern. the accuweather seven-day forecast, 50s to near 60 today. the on and off rain, some heavy downpours, maybe a thunderstorm. and then lighter rain on tuesday and we're keeping it dry the rest of the week. but not totally sold on that, so you can download our accuweather app and stay up to date. >> kind of feels chilly out there. just seeing the 50s, it's like, good luck to those runners. lisa, thank. cherry farmers are hoping all this rain doesn't wipe out their crops, but signs of damage are already showing. abc 7 news reporter chris reyes

protect their crop, some coating them with a wax-like substance. >> a lot of people say it doesn't really work, but when you got all of this money invested, you're go, i'm going to try it anyways! we're all depressed. i'm going to go to the coffee shop and -- >> cry about it? >> yeah, cry about it. >> reporter: it's part of farming. >> yeah, you want to pick your crop, you don't want to have to rely on insurance. just like your house, you don't want it to burn down. >> interpreter: what does this mean to you, especially if you love cherries? paul tells me you'll definitely see less of them at your farmer's market. it's probably going to cost more money. just how bad it's going to be, it's the wait and see for farmers. they will be assessing the damage once there's no more rain in the forecast. in gilroy, chris reyes for abc 7 news. next, a sprinkling of pixie dust at the happiest place on earth. what visitors are about to
