due to the cloud cover and the upper elevation wind and as we look at san jose, awfully gray out there. 49 santa rosa with low 50s for most of you along the north bay and into the east bay livermore at 51. here's a look at our live camera zephyr cove where it was pretty blustery about an hour ago. right now you can see a little bit of wet snow there and still looking at a couple inches of snow to come here. but upper elevations could see about ten inches. so, damp roads to start. more showers tomorrow night. valentine's day into the holiday on monday. and then looking at another light system not only monday, but into thursday. so, very, very weak systems just skimming the bay area. here's a look at the next few hours and the rain dissipates by 9:00, 9:30 and even the snow begins to wind down. so, in terms of amounts, we have a couple systems coming in this weekend. here's the first one throughout today. 0.01 to a 0.1.

looking at maybe 0.2 on the coast and the coast and the north bay looking at the favored locations. that's probably anomaly in calisto calistoga. winds picking up as soon as the system departs andic l looking 0 to 30-mile-per-hour winds and up to 40 miles per hour not only in the north bay usually those favored locations but look at the peninsula over into hayward over 30 miles an hour. so, blustery but dry afternoon on the way. here's sunday. we're dry to start and then by noontime, some showers 4:00. it's getting a little more mist and drizzly out there. and then by 9:00 monday morning for your holiday, still some showers and remember that's another weak system. here's our snowfall above 5,500 feet. this lasts until noontime. low 60s in concord and a windy afternoon. the accuweather seven-day forecast looking at a dry start to your valentine's day and a chance of showers late in the
