see some snow on our peaks, as well. the forecast animation shows most of us dry by 2:00 and unless you're north of santa rosa and that's where we start to see the rain and then we'll see some of the more moderate rain and the areas of yellow move through the enihos. someossibl oigr into monday turning into showers, drying off. so, rainfall estimates anywhere up to half an inch for some of the north bay locations and some of the mountains, as well. santa rosa and around the bay area you'll notice generally less than a quarter of an inch. there is a winter storm watch also in effect tomorrow afternoon through monday afternoon. driving through tahoe you want to get to and from the bay area ahead of tomorrow afternoon to beat some of the snow and wind. up to two feet expected in the higher elevations. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. today temperatures in the mid 60s in the inland areas and cooler with that sea breeze and

a change of mindset and what is possible for me and my future as a black woman. >> my teachers they don't believe that i have the potential that i absolutely do have and seeing that look like me and have the same interest as me doing the same things that i want to do, it just proves them wrong. >> hi, it's at all about shamia i've been a tech code diva for six years. >> we really created, you know, this label for them as future tech bosses to really also ingrain in them and the world that this is what the future looks like. >> it's so cool and kind of exciting, too, because it's like for all i know i'm sitting in the room learning and networking with like the next kamala harris or kimberly bryant or catherine johnson. it's exciting to think about and we're all in it together.
