tomorrow, we're looking at the entire bay area tomorrow morning through the evening where the problems could occur. here's why. atmospheric river that has been stalled out over the north bay is finally going to move. there's an area of low pressure that has formed that's going to push it along, and it's going to bring widespread rain. so do be prepared. there's even the possibility of thunderstorms. sfo camera right now it is a little bit of a slippery runway out there. a wind advisory in effect for these areas shaded until 10 p.m. tomorrow. gusts to 50 miles an hour higher over the higher elevations means more downed trees. and a few outages are certainly possible. not as strong of winds as we're expecting. the last round, but it is going to be gusty as we head into 5 a.m. over 35 miles an hour, stronger over the higher terrain. almost 40 there in half moon bay at noontime, and the wind is going to continue to cause issues and also keep that surf going. so until 6 a.m. tomorrow, we're talking about a high surf advisory. dangerous swimming and surfing conditions around the

northern monterey bay. it's a beach hazard statement until 6 a.m. tomorrow. risk of sneaker waves and rip currents. so be careful if you want to go watch the storm coming in at the coast. 50s and 60s on those temperatures. looking at the storm impact scale tomorrow, we are expecting downpours. area wide, gusty winds, chance of thunder and dangerous surf. so we go hour by hour. the morning commute begins and here comes the downpours. 630 in the morning in the north bay. you will notice at 9 a.m. it's widespread rain, moderate to heavy across a good chunk of the area. at noontime i wouldn't even go outside because it is going to be sloppy. it continues at 4 p.m. this storm is going to deliver rain to the east and south bay. that hasn't seen a whole lot. 8:00 tomorrow night it is still coming down across the east and south bay. by 11 p.m, pushing off, but not done. saturday will have some more rain in the morning, so rainfall taking you through saturday is basically going to range anywhere from an inch to over

three inches in the santa cruz mountains, and our wetter spots are going to pick up five six inches of rain in the sierra. 4 p.m. tomorrow until 4 p.m. tuesday. above 5500ft. we're talking about a winter storm warning up to four feet for the peaks. with those gusty winds, travel is going to be difficult to impossible, so i wouldn't even try. morning 5060s. give yourself that extra time for the morning commute. you will need it. tomorrow afternoon is going to be a rough commute as well. highs will be in the 50s and 60s. it's going to be a stormy setup. accuweather seven day forecast level two tomorrow. stormy weather, early morning showers saturday. it's a one. i think the big game is looking okay. sunday. next system in the afternoon evening. it's a two only because of the cumulative effects of the saturated ground that storms. nothing like the one coming through and it's a one for monday and tuesday. by thanksgiving we do dry out and cancer is a journey you don't take alone.
