now and it's a bit breezy there at the golden gate 71 degrees in santa rosa with mid to upper 60s and petaluma and napa and 74 fairfield concord and livermore. so relatively mild to many of our inland locations and here's a view from emeryville of those increasing clouds along the coastline and these are our forecast headlines clouds will continue increasing overnight rain arrives late tomorrow into tomorrow evening. we'll continue into monday. in fact with a wet and gussy conditions into monday morning now overnight tonight the future radar looks like this just increase of clouds going into the early morning hours, maybe a spotty shower or two offshore, but the main rain won't arrive until much later. so overnight lows will be mainly in the mid to upper 40s up to about 50 go down to about only about 50 degrees. i should say at san francisco and oakland then tomorrow as clouds continue to increase and that rain approaches the coastline look for highs ranging from about 60 at the coast to mainly upper 60s right around the bay shoreline 67 oakland 68, san mateo. i down in the south bend san

jose and in the inland east bay. we'll see some low seventies. let's talk about the storm and writes one on the storm impact scale. so for tomorrow night into monday, we'll have rain moderate at times maybe some occasional downpours gusty of the strongest gusts at the coast. so here's the forecast animation starting three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. we expect a band of rain to push. or by late afternoon into the evening and late night hours and then push out of the bay area by about five o'clock tomorrow monday morning. i should say as the morning commute gets underway. we could have a lingering shower or two after that, but we expect at least some partial clearing late in the day on monday. rainfall totals will be generous. this could be the wettest storm. we've seen since last december here's the accuather seven-day forecast. so this rain campers off on monday dryer slightly mildered conditions on tuesday and wednesday and then a warming trend begins begins on thursday and that continues next weekend amanda. all right. thank you so much spencer now coming up in sports the stanford women's basketball team prepares for a rematch with text with texas. i'm not even going to talk about this.
