i wish we could tell you there are storms lined up to hit the bay area because we're so behind. but yet once again another system is developing in the pacific and it looks like it's going to cut off from the main flow, skirt the california coast before it heads into southern california. so we're not left with a whole lot. let me show you what we average here in the bay area in terms of our rainfall. but before we get to that system brings us a slim chance friday, a 10% chance of seeing an isolated shower or a sprinkle. but it's not going to be a game changer. so typical february average rainfall. san francisco and oakland just over 4 inches. santa rosa gets above half a foot of rain. and so far nothing measurable. livermore gets just over 3 inches and same thing with san jose. if we continue on this track and close out the entire month of february without any rainfall, it would tie with 1864 where there was no measurable rain. let's hope we don't break that record. as we take a look here from our san jose camera, shark tank

visible right now. temperatures in the 40s and 50s as we look at another live picture from our east bay hills camera. you can see the fog. foggy areas in the morning. mild in the afternoon again. isolated showers or sprinkles friday, and no major storms are in sight for the next week. so first thing in the morning, watch out for the fog. it is going to be thick around 5:00 to 8:00 near the bay and the coastline. and later on in the day the fog will pull away. temperatures mid 30s to the upper 40s. for the afternoon, expect temperatures in the low 60s along the coast. san francisco, half moon bay. 68 in santa rosa. still above average, vallejo, oakland, mid-60s along with concord. 68 in san jose. 66 palo alto. we're going show you what's going to happen. the system skirts the coast. a few sprinkles or light shower not out of the question. certainly sierra snow south of tahoe and southern california rain. second system sunday pushes into the pacific northwest. where many of our storms are been going. and unfortunately, we're left high and dry.

accuweather seven-day forecast. morning fog giving way to a mild afternoon. thursday we're going see more fog and clouds, and an isolated chance of a shower or sprinkle friday. the weekend is dry and certainly a little breezy. going into next week. still holding our breath. we're running 39 to 64% of average in terms of rainfall. really hurting. >> thanks, sandia. tomorrow on good morning america, ginger zee will be live on the border of

even lebron james came out today, criticizing baseball commissioner rob manfred in the way he has handled the situation. when star players are ripping the astros left and right, it's a bad look for the league. >> it's anger. i feel like every single guy over there needs a beating. you know, it's wrong. they're messing with people's krierks people lost jobs. people lost money. people lost a lot of things important to them. and, you know, to really not seem like it's any remorse i guess is what a lot of people are upset about. ah, the heavyweights arrived in las vegas for their heavy wight. tyson fury against they fought to a draw in their previous meeting. this will be one of the
