mountains. so a chilly morning a. mild afternoon, light rain returning later on tomorrow, taking us through late wednesday and with that temperatures dropping at least five-to-10 degrees. we'll be stuck in the 50s and that will allow for perhaps low snow levels in the bay area, but i think the moisture will be through by then, if anywhere, we will see it in mount hamilton, high clouds today, we'll have that with mild conditions. this is your monday when we will see a little rain, perhaps your best chance in the north bay, getting more likely throughout the later day. this is monday night. as we get into tuesday, light rain, moderate at times, colder air moves in. so we could possibly see a thunderstorm tuesday, into wednesday and then the system continues to sink to the south, taking the precipitation with it. so with the amounts very widely from anywhere from less than a half inch of rain to about a third of an inch in livermore,

we'll see highest amounts here along the coasts. upwards of three-quarters of an inch in half moon bay. we could see an inch in the television of the north bay. you see san jose possibly not picking up that much at all, as the system hugs the shore line and the moisture wraps and it, we will not see a whole lot in our inland valleys. take what we can get. we are looking at story with high clouds, concord, 64, liver livermore, santa rosa, upper 50s, temperatures in and around average today, the accuweather seven-day forecast. with the sun today, we'be looki at the high clouds that level 1 system tomorrow. the colder temperatures, a possibility of a thunderstorm tuesday/wednesday, both days with a level 1 system. we clear on out, brighter skies,
