things i know it's surprising, right? yes. it's it definitely is changing. and we're starting out with dry conditions. but level one system today and into monday i think are going to be the wettest days. tuesday i'm not really sold on, but we'll get to that as we look at our storm impact scale today. yesterday turned out nice, didn't it? today we'll see some sun as well. and then afternoon and evening showers with those breezy south winds. most of us will see less than 5/100, maybe a 10th of an inch higher elevations. some of you may not see any rain at all, so we do have still a low pressure set up off the coast, and that is allowing for some of those showers to rotate through. nothing too organized, but we will see a system tomorrow that is a better rainmaker. but the focus looks to shift from san francisco points south. right now it is 46. in oakland, 43 sonoma and fremont with 37 in livermore. so certainly some

colder numbers this morning. fog is certainly an issue not only in the north bay, but half mile visibility. san jose up to two miles now in novato. but notice three quarters of a mile in santa rosa. so be careful as we head outside from our roof camera. morning fog. some sun today, afternoon and evening showers, then tomorrow and possibly tuesday. we're looking at more rain level one system and then by wednesday into thanksgiving and the holiday weekend looks like we're going to see some dry conditions. so this is the way we start out. we go through the afternoon with some sun. then we cloud up. this is 4:00. you see the showers near cloverdale, parts of marin county. and then as we get into the evening hours, scattered showers, perhaps san francisco up through the north bay and then into monday morning. check it out. you can see how widespread the rain is, but it is moving up from the south. and so the focus will be from the east bay. the peninsula, the south bay into monday afternoon. it's a rainy, breezy day. and then by tuesday, it looks like

this system wants to pull away. we still have a level one. ther, but may not even need it. as for rainfall amounts, this is what happens from today to early tomorrow. you can see very light amounts. and then as we get into that monday and possibly tuesday system about a quarter of an inch to a third of an inch, and then looking at maybe more than that as you get down towards the santa cruz mountains in terms of the snow. looking at a winter storm warning through that should be monday 7:00, monday through wednesday, 1 to 2ft above 7000ft, and then 2 to 9in right here around lake level. highs today with some sun, some showers out there low to mid 60s. so it will be basically dry until the afternoon. the accuweather seven day forecast. level one system today and tomorrow could see more showers on tuesday, but notice wednesday into the rest of the week and weekend, including thanksgiving. looking dry. stephanie. >> all right liz thank you. well, the bay area is about to

county sheriff's investigation involving sheriff christina corpus is now telling his side of the story. the sheriff's chief of staff says the scathing report against christina corpus and her administration is built on lies, including their alleged romantic relationship. all of it has led to a criminal investigation and calls for the sheriff to resign. abc seven news i-team reporter dan noyes has an interview you'll see only on seven. >> sheriff christina corpus told me earlier this week that she's known victor j. >> for 17 years, and we are colleagues. i consider him a trusted confidant, a friend during all that time, did you and her ever become romantic? >> no. there has never been physical contact or a dating relationship. no. the longtime realtor became indispensable during corpus campaign for sheriff. that's him. during a kickoff event with the candidate. but the audit commissioned by the county and performed by retired santa clara county judge ladoris cordell,

cites one current employee at the millbrae sheriff's substation. she says when corpus worked there before she became sheriff, the employee saw her and i and j kissing, giving each other massages and making flirty jokes that made her uncomfortable. corpus and now i and j say that's a lie, and i'm done with that. >> and i'm done. because this has been played over and over just to smear her name. >> i did notice, and i've reported that most of the accusations, in terms of you and the sheriff being romantic, came from a single employee, correct? >> i don't want to get into uh- employee issues. i'm saying that her statements are not truthful. i believe she had an agenda behind them. >> let's talk about those 40 people that judge cordell interviewed. are you saying that most of those are supporters of the former sheriff bolanos? >> absolutely. i'm saying that uh- and a few of them are just scared for their job, because if you don't kiss the ring in this county, they will push you out.

>> i and j was third in line as civilian chief of staff, reporting to undersheriff dan perea. from those interviews, the cordell report concluded i and j had major influence over the sheriff, and that lies secrecy, retaliation, conflicts of interest and abuse of authority are the hallmarks of the corpus administration. >> obviously, it doesn't feel good. it's disappointing. i think the people that are there know the truth and know what's been done to this point. >> the report found that i and j may have committed a misdemeanor crime for willfully wearing a facsimile badge that allows him to impersonate a full time, salaried employee, and that the sheriff could face a misdemeanor charge for giving it to him. and j badge has a chief of staff bar at the top sideline. >> i think before she made those negligent statements and she should have checked, i and j provided his training records that show he's a reserve deputy for the department, has all the training of a full time sworn

officer. >> he also worked at the department's firing range as an instructor for nine years. here's him teaching county supervisor noelia corzo to shoot. she's now his biggest detractor, so she's very concerned that she's coming up for reelection and she has no money. >> so i've been told that she's made some deals with certain people i don't know. i don't know if that's factual or not that they're going to fund her. and that's why she's doing this. she's disclosed this to a number of people, and j told me his work as a realtor and a personal protection stopped when corpus brought him on as chief of staff. >> i also asked about expensive gifts. the report accuses him of giving the sheriff. did you buy $11,000 diamond earrings and louboutin boots for the sheriff? no, i did not. where'd that come from? >> i have no idea. >> i also asked about donald trump's september 12th fundraising visit to woodside. the report says the campaign staff allowed the sheriff to designate two people for a photo with the now president elect. she picked a captain and a deputy. an fbi agent claims i and j approached, identified

himself as chief of staff and said who? a deputy getting a photo over me. the report says he made a scene until he was allowed to take this picture. >> the main guy that was running the security, i knew him very well because i just come online, come in the line and take a picture with us and whatever else and ended up there. the guy came up to me and goes, hey, you're not on the list. i'm like, yeah, who are you? i said, i'm the chief of staff. i'm i'm here taking place at the sheriff's. okay. that's fine. whatever. >> just move forward with all of this flack with calls from the board of supervisors, the deputy sheriffs union, and the captains for the sheriff and her chief of staff to resign. victor j says he will not. i think the residents of this county deserve more, and that's what sheriff corpus has been fighting for. >> and in my opinion, i continue to encourage her and support her because at the end of all this, she's going to be victorious. >> for the i-team, dan noyes, abc seven news. >> this, of course, is a developing story and we will keep you posted on any further updates. all right. let's get you outside. how's it looking?
