yesterday's rain in the bay area translated into a fresh coat of powder in the sierra. this is kishg wood ski resort. 9 inches of snow last night and heavenly reported three inches of new snow. great conditions for skiers and snowboarders. wow, it's beautiful. we just checked. chains are not needed for highway auto or i-80 over the summit. >> all right. rob is here now with the microclimate forecast. wasn't that much rain down here. a nice dump-in the snow there. >> we have rain totals below a tenth of an inch of rain. so most lie, just enough to wet the ground briefly last night. almost a quarter inch of rain in kentfield. that is the top spot. notice san jose, .6 of an inch of rain. we show you other locations. 1200th of an inch of rain. that was it. we had about 20 minutes worth of showers come through so the rain totals not that impressive.

we'll take every little bit we can get because the next few days actually look fairly dry aren't bay area. right now, 50s and 60s outside. high clouds moving across the bay area. us about the winds have changed direction now instead of being kind of warm and muggy with the winds out of the south. we're seeing a northwest breeze pick up to day. that's bringing in cooler and drier air. so unlike this morning where we woke up to temperatures close to 50, tomorrow morning maybe some upper 30s and low 40s in those north bay valleys as the cooler and drier air sinks on n needless to say, nothing really showing up on the radar. the storm track moved off to the north and that next chance of rain coming towards the bay area mainly aimed in on the north bay. we'll take you through monday into tuesday. you notice sonoma county, that's where the action is until about tes evening. this system here from 11:00 tuesday am weaken as it paces through the bay area. so that, believe it or not, is the one opportunity for seeing showers, not a big one at that.

should see more snow on wednesday. the bigger problem is we move towards next weekend, you're starting to see the changes in the seven-day forecast is the potential for this ridge of high pressure to become a blocking high once again. so right now we're seeing storms off to the north. but we expect what will happen is this high is going to begin to build back off to the north pacific northwest coastline, stopping these storms from reaching the west coast. so you're seeing the changes there at the bottom of the screen. seven-day forecast climbing into the 07's by next sunday. and as this pattern sets up, we could be looking at a dry fin toish february. so hopefully we see changes in this pattern. that is the cause for the warmup to the 7 o's we're expecting right now in your seven-day forecast heading towards next weekend. for tomorrow morning, watch out for patchy thinking fog. we'll see temperatures in the low 60s around san jose. closer to 60 in san francisco. north bay, temperatures in the low 6 o's around napa and santa rosa. we'll see the highs in the 60s. a few other travel spots around the state for your monday, president's day, holiday looks

pretty good. we'll see 50s and 60s around lake tahoe and reno. down the coast, 75 degrees and as bay area temperatures warm up into the 70s by next weekend, we could see 80s or maybe mid to upper 70s south of santa cruiz y next sunday. >> thanks, rob. coming up, a yearly that decision. oh, yes, dozens of people take part in a pillow fight in the south bay. we'll show you next.

>> i told my son and wife that we were going out for an adventure and to bring their pillow. they didn't know what it was about. >> every year, every different location has been really great. >> occasionally kept secret. you have to follow along on twitter or facebook for the exact location. cleanup is going to be slow going. luckily it's not raining. that could be a real bad thing. >> absolutely. >> all right. an independent filmmaker held an open casting call for a film with a list stars and a bay area director. unlike most open casting calls, this one was looking for a lead. officials were searching for a man in his late 20s for the lead role in the fixer about a journalist who leaves his war torn country to become a crime report reporter. freemont is known for having a small population of afghanies. they play opposite james franco and academy award winner melissa leo. >> it's a backwards crime story through the eyes of the

generallyist that's just arrived. very much an american film or a northern california story. >> no word yet on call backs. filming is scheduled to begin here in northern california this summer. >> all right. henry is joining us from comcast sports net. he is easily recognizable. >> big time. not at all. but i will take you up on your offer any day. all right. here we go. plenty of baseball coming up, kerry and diane. arbitration with a key member of the lineup. plus, the giants have a new peek in their starting rotation and he's already settling in. we'll go live to scottsdale next in sports.

welcome back. baseball season is upon us. pitchers and catchers reported on friday and that includes the giants newest starting pitcher.

former oakland a tim hudson is now a giant. let's go out to scottsdale where we're covering the giants and we had a chance to catch up with the veteran pitcher. >> yeah, henry. when you take a look at it on paper, you think the giants rotation should be better this year than it was last year. you take out barry zito and add the 15-year veteran in tim hudson, a former a and brave. he is coming off a significant ankle injury. he told us today that is close to becoming an after thought. >> i don't think about it. you know, i think that just, you know, reaffirms the notion that i'm going to -- it's on its way to being where i want it to be. >> the only time he thinks about the ankle is when he is running side to side, something he did not have to do during sunday's bull pen session which ch was also his introduction to one buster posey. >> he's going to be fun to work with. we talked some today in the weight room about the pitching

philosophies and he's picking my brab a little bit about how i like to do things. and i'm excited about building a relationship with him and letting him realize, you know, how i pitch. >> slating hudson is the three year or four starter certainly improves the rotation. but more than that, they could actually improve the guys around him. >> i mean the guy with as much time under his belt and as much success he has, it's hard not to who sitting next to me, it makes it easier. really you have to talk to him. he makes it easy. get that ball rolling in that way. >> yeah, i talked to madison bum guarder, another starter this morning. he said basically that same thing. he is going to wear tim hudson out asking him questions throughout the regular season. and henry, why wouldn't he? there is no other pitcher in baseball currently pitching that has more wins than tim hudson. henry, back to you. >> great information. enjoy the update. a's outfielder josh reddic

signed a one year, $2.7 million deal to avoid a salary arbitration hearing. both sides are flepleased with deal which was completed before a hearing was necessary. >> he went off my shoulder. we battle with negotiations. but we had all the confidence in the world that we weren't going go and make this a nasty court appearance. so they made it clear they weren't going to do. that so for them to do that from the get go is very comforting for me. and i had a feeling we were going to get something done. happy to have that out of the way now and get back to playing ball and help this ball club win. >> best of luck to reddic. cal and stanford hoops, both won today. that will do it for sports later on tonight. we'll have an update on the nba all star game. >> thank you so much. >> our prime time coverage of the olympics begins in just a couple minutes at 7:00 on the mountain, body miller takes on the super g. we also have women's snowboard cross and two man bobsled race and as we've been talking about,

americans merrill davis and charlie white takes to the ice for ice dancing. that comes up in just about three minutes. >> fantastic. we're going to talk about not rain. >> no. we do need it though. i think it would be better in sochi. >> that's a good point. >> by all that snow we had yesterday, we're in the 50s and 60s outside. tomorrow, low 60s, patchy fog the prime concern. north bay showers possible on wednesday. >> thanks a lot. thanks for choosing nbc bay area news. >> we'll see you back here tonight after the olympics. have a good night and enjoy. ♪
