in the wake of the devastating good sunday morning. i hope your day is off to a fantastic start. so far outside, we've got a wide range of cloud cover and some foggy spots throughout the bay area. let me show you what's going on. 41 degrees, patching clouds through the peninsula. check out the tri valley, 39 degrees and certainly foggy. we've seen fog clear out in the east bay but overall we have good conditions in terms of the temperatures, a range of mild and we've got a couple 30s in through the interior valleys. we're down to three miles in visibility in concord. down to seven in napa. look at santa rosa down to less than a mile, so if you're going to be driving out there, just slow it down if you encounter
7:55 am
some patchy areas. let's talk about the big changes ahead. we have a lot to talk about. we've got satellite radar and here is that system but notice just how far off to the south it is. it will mainly impact southern california, but i'm going to take you through the time line of what we're expecting. first thing you will notice this afternoon is going to be the increase in cloud cover. so today, it's not necessarily going to be the rain that's impacting us. more or less that will happen into the overnight hours, but if you're going to be driving down to southern california, using the grapevine, they've already got some moisture pushing through, expecting some rain in through l.a. as early as this evening into tomorrow. they're expecting anywhere from an inch to two inches from the initial storm system. we're not just tracking one, we're tracking three and we have our storm ranger up and scanning and we expect that to give us the high resolution data as it comes in. let me show you the hour by hour outlook. notice how far south this is. santa cruz mountains, monterey, portions of san jose will probably be the only ones to see some rain. north bay not so much from the first system.
7:56 am
the rain kind of likely overnight, mainly to the south, anywhere from just about a tenth of an inch to quarter of an inch and look through monday morning a rainy start, look how patchy that is, not widespread. if anything, the accumulations aren't that large. look at the next several days. this isn't the only system affecting us. we have a rainy start but more rain into tuesday, with a stronger storm expected to really start kicking up those high winds, and here is the time line for you. we've got this system, this is the second system coming in on tuesday, and then we've got a third system and that one is expected to move in on wednesday into thursday, that one is going to be probably one of the stronger ones with the possibility of seeing some localized flooding, and this is because we're going to see some good accumulations, possibly two to three inches, along with the king tides that we're tracking, as we head in towards the weekend. so we have to get through these three initial storm systems first. the highest winds are expected tuesday and thursday with the arrival of the two other
