playoffs. miami stays alive at 10-5. that's your look at sports. >> all right, lisa, we need better news than that for the forecast. you know what, if you're headed down to the central coast or southern california, you might want to wait a day or two because they are getting their first significant storm of the season from san luis obispo, points south, even monterey. for us locally, we're on the tail end of it, especially on the north bay. you could see perhaps nothing at all. live doppler 7 with the cloud cover and the storm system offshore. there's the area of low pressure. and it's going to push that moisture into southern california, bringing some snow, as much as ten inches for the central sierra, around yosemite. looking at winter weather advisories. it's 48 in san francisco, 50 in

oakland, mountain view, and half moon bay. 46 in san jose. you'll see the most, but that's not saying much. and morgan hill, numbers in the mid-40s. as we look at the golden gate bridge, the high clouds here, and the dry pavement, temperatures are in the upper 30s. santa rosa had a little fog, cold in the north bay. 45 novato, low to mid-40s concord and livermore and maybe a tenth of an inch over into our east bay valleys. so very little rain expected. and unfortunately, yeah, a lot of you are disappointed, i know. we had this from tonight through tomorrow. but i think the system will really be out of here by tomorrow morning. so it's a level 1 system coming in tonight. first along the central coast, spreading showers up into the south bay. that's where you'll see highest totals, breezy southerly winds. santa cruz mountains, coastal hills could get a boost in their rainfall where is parts of the north bay, even san francisco are not looking at much at all.

just over a quarter inch for christmas day, a little less than that expected for this next system. we've got partly sunny skies this morning. that will take us through the early to mid-afternoon. the clouds thicken. the rain arrives tonight, starting in the south bay and looking at possible shower chances. another just clipping of a system to the north. for early on new year's eve day. as we get into the year end afternoon, we've got some sun. the cloud cover finally increases. and here comes the rain, 9:00. you can see a narrow band of some pretty moderate to heavy rain that's going to swing on through the south bay. and the peninsula. and then as it continues its track southward, it takes the rain with it. so as a result, not too much happening in the north bay or the east bay. this is your monday afternoon, still some clouds around. we'll get into more sunshine and totals with this system starting out later on tonight, adding up into your early monday, bringing

a couple of hundredths in santa rosa, less than a tenth in the north bay. notice over into the east bay, very little amounts. and in fact just a little bit more, from a quarter inch perhaps in half moon bay, redwood city 2/10ths, ben lomond maybe a third of an inch. we're dry on tuesday, dry on wednesday. as we get into new year's eve, we've looking at that system, not impressive either. by new year's day, we're dry. into next weekend, you can see some rain. looks like it's a little more heavy into the north bay. a long ways away, though, 60 in san jose, 59 in oakland. tonight, here comes the shower activity with mid-30s in the north bay. we're not going to see much rain. the accuweather seven-day forecast, a level 1 system tonight ends tomorrow morning with a scattered light shower. tuesday and wednesday will offer cold mornings. jobina, with that system we could see a dusting of snow around mt. hamilton as it heads
