peninsula. just 92 across the bay. san mateo, down through redwood city. and a pretty good sell here. and on the coast, we have more heavy rain, thunder, lightning, and hail to come. so this is the line we're watching as it slices across the bay area. and it's all due to this unstable air mass. this area of low pressure that will also bring us the chance of thunderstorms throughout the day today. so as we get to the sierra nevada, it's snowing in blue canyon. still have the winter storm warning through 5:00 tomorrow morning. temperatures just in the 40s, and another opportunity for snow on tuesday. but total amounts, 6 to 10 inches above 6,000 feet, could see up to 15 inches in the highest peaks. this is the golden gate bridge. it is very wet out there. looking at low 50s, very chilly, breezy winds, up to 30 miles an hour in the highest elevations. and you can still, just a little bit, it is raining here. some pellets of hail coming down. a pretty cool shot here from mt. tam.

48 degrees. it is raw out there. the winds are breezy. it's going to be one of those days today where we are in the rain, then out of the rain. this is walnut creek where you have a nice break. you're saying, what rain? the thunder, the lightning, all pressing to the east. you'll be looking at it in the next hour or two. so showers, a possible thunderstorm today, sunny and breezy tomorrow. a weaker system arrives today. a 1 on our storm impact scale with the scattered showers a half inch with a quarter of an inch like ly. then showers behind that. but for the bay to breakers, it is rainy and breezy. temperatures in the low to the mid-50s. a bit of a break after 8:30 until about 10:00, but there's more rain behind that. so here's why we time it out for you, 8:30, just mentioned that. you can see perhaps a little bit of a break. and then looking at 10:00, more light showers and another line of wet weather wants to move in by the later afternoon. so we're not out of it by any means. this is the unstable partne of the system that's going to bring

more downpours throughout the 4:00, 5:00 hour. and once that sun sets, things really do calm down. and we'll get a nice break on monday. we should see a big break, right? this is the middle of may. but we're not. we'll see another system behind this one, a third of an inch in san francisco through 9:00 tonight. then over a half inch, perhaps a third over in fremont. and then we're looking at the cool, raw day today. here's monday. your break. and by midnight into early tuesday for your tuesday morning commute. here comes the much weaker system, but nonetheless, we're still looking at an active pattern throughout the day on tuesday, perhaps even for the evening commute, as well. the accuweather seven-day forecast, a 1 on our storm impact scale today, but, boy, it is coming down. i've heard from a lot of folks who said maybe with those downpours it, feels even stronger than that. but it all is very progressive. it moves quickly to the east, and that's why we're getting those breaks today. unfortunately, some graduations, a lot like yesterday, so it is going to be one of those days

tohe ball andshin it. getting it and pushing it. soy just tried to bring that to the game and tonight it was successful for us. >> i think he has the most triple doubles in wroarrior history, so i don't think he's really improved, he's just been doing what he's been doing since he was at michigan state. see him continue to do this for hopefully another ten years. >> the greatest score in mls history kicks it in san jose. chris wondolowski with a record-setting day on the pitch. the quakes taking on chicago, who hasn't allowed a goal, but in the 21st minute, wondo ties donovan for most goals. he would top it in the 48th minute, scoring again passing donovan for most goals with 146. but wait, there's more. wondo, who hadn't scored all season, gets his third goal of the game if the 74th minute. and just two minutes later, why not! let's make it four! are you kidding me? quakes win it, 4. 1. >> always wanted to do it and

more to come in livermore. you've had a half inch in the past day. and we're looking at more scattered showers throughout the afternoon. but this line of thunderstorms pretty impressive right now. the san mateo bridge, where it is just pouring out there, so do be careful or delay getting out this morning, if you can. because this is moving quickly and we've been watching it all morning long. check it out, from the north bay, the san pablo bay has been getting hit pretty hard all the way down through the santa cruz mountains. we'll take you all over the bay right now. look at that red east of 680. here's american canyon, cordilla, benicia, pushing into the east bay now. but down lu emeryville, highway 80, oakland, some very heavy rain back westward into the marina and san francisco, looking at the rain lightning up there. but steady rain around 580 and over into perhaps danville. 680, the san ramon valley, looking very wet.

and in san francisco, it's lighter rain, but look at the pockets of heavy rain on the peninsula from redwood city, east palo alto, down through 280, very wet weather. and back westward, portola valley, highway 35 into fremont right now, union city waking up to some very wet weather. and around hayward boulevard, no getting a break, but as we look at the coast and back into the pacific, still another line that's going to push on into davenport, the santa cruz mountains, and we have our upper level linstability for this line. and as we go into the sierra nevada, it is snowing around blue canyon, chain controls and our winter storm warnings still in effect until 5:00 tomorrow. so above 6,000 feet. 6 to 10 inches of snow, 15 inches at the highest peaks. look at that ominous picture from sutro. the camera is shaking, the dark clouds, it is 50 in san francisco and san jose, 48 in santa cruz. and another look here from

walnut creek. and you can see, it's finally raining in the east bay. 48 in napa, 50 in vacaville. and in the mountains, yeah, this is the middle of may. just incredible, with the weather we're having. tomorrow, we get a break. a lighter system moves in on tuesday. so it's not over yet. today, a 1 on our storm impact scale, scattered showers behind that line of thunderstorms. so we most likely will get the rays and see some sunny breaks and we'll get a midafternoon break before more rain pushes in later. so here we are behind that line of heavy storms. still a few showers, 10:00, but it is much quieter. and then through the afternoon, we're partly cloudy and then more showers are going to push on through. here we are at 5:00. but as that sun continues to set, as it sets twb activity really winds down quickly. i think the heaviest is right now with the thunderstorms and the isolated hail moving through the area. rainfall amounts a half inch, maybe a quarter an inch in some lighter locations, but it's

cool, it's breezy, it's unusual. tomorrow, starting out dry, is it all behind us? no, because we have another system headed in to the bay area late monday into tuesday. certainly not as prolific as we've seen the past couple of days and today. the accuweather seven-day forecast, download the accuweather app. this is certainly an interesting day today. but bring the rain gear and it will be a little bit brighter, but certainly not what we call stable out there. still showers and maybe a thunderstorm. >> yeah, this thing is packing a punch. >> sure is. >> lisa, thank you. cherry farmers are hoping all this rain doesn't wipe out their crops, but signs of damage are already showing. abc 7 news reporter kris reyes visited a cherry orchard in gill resi rio. >> how many acres do you have? >> ap produ75 producing. >> and you could lose them all km. >> could lose them all. >> reporter: if that happens, he's looking at about a quarter million dollar loss. there is a crack right here.

you can eat them, it's just they don't like pretty so nobody wants to buy them. >> reporter: then there are his tomatoes. >> it's harder to control. it will stunt the plant and then you won't get as much growth and you can get a lower yield. we have a total of 2,500 acres that we farm here. >> reporter: how long have you been a farmer here? >> 25 years. >> reporter: but even at 25 years, the anxiety over farming never goes away. visit any of the dozen cherry orchards in the south bay and you'll likely spot crews scrambling to protect their crops in aennticipation of this unusual mid-may rain. some coating them with a wax-like substance. >> a lot of people say it doesn't really work, but when you have all of this money invested, you go, i'm going to try it, anyways. >> we're all depressed. we'll go to the coffee shop and cry about it. >> 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. >> reporter: what does this mean to you especially if you love cherries? paul tells me you'll definitely seeless less of them at your fs market and they'll probably cost more money. hold up bad will it be? it's wait and see for farmers. they'll be assessing the damage once there's no more rain in the forecast. next, a sprinkling of pixie dust at disneyland.
