rain will be back, and this one starts out in the south bay, then kind of rolls to the north. we'll see the off and on rain through at least saturday morning, at about 9:00 to 10:00, before it starts to taper off. it does become more scattered throughout the day, but there will still be rain chances in the forecast at any point, anywhere across the bay area on saturday, and then still some lingering showers on sunday. we will see the clouds sticking around for sunday into monday, and then the next storm system moving in that will be here on tuesday into wednesday, and then of course, we were talking about it, there is another storm right behind that. it looks like at least for the next system moving in, rain will be a lot lighter, and more focused on the santa cruz mountains, and the south county, but we could still see about a half to three-quarter inches of rain for the north bay. when the next system comes in, we're going to add more rain on top of that. another inch to two inches with the atmospheric river. and if you are planning to go to the sierra, today is looking good, but tomorrow, the snow

will be back, so today is your travel day, and then get there before that snow starts to come down and make plans to not come back until monday, because that's when we get our next break. and that's what we see also in terms of rain for the bay area, with some off and on showers for tomorrow into early sunday. monday is looking nice, and then on tuesday we'll be preparing for that next round of some heavy rain. so we'll have more updates on that and vianey, it's still good out there on the roads. >> it is, especially because it's dry, so folks, if you didn't learn anything from the last one in terms of getting the windshield wipers up to date and new tires, do that because we have more rain on the way. i was going to check on the crash along 808 in oakland and that's what i did, but first, here is a look at the overall bay area, the south bay is doing well. we have the peninsula, no crashes to report in through there or east bay for the most part, fremont is doing okay. we did see a crash just pop up and chp is reporting a crash

along northbound 880 near the embarcadero exit. a vehicle may be in some lanes and also reporting a tow truck is on the way and is required along with a bit of a traffic hazard, which means there could be some debris out on the roads. as far as the speed sensors go, we're not seeing slowing on our speed sensors so hopefully since they're on the way, they can get this cleared out in time and doesn't look to be an injury accident which is great news to hear this early in the morning. let's look at the live cam in oakland. we can see some slowing on both sides of the northbound and southbound 880, so expect a high volume of commute in through this area, but hopefully they get that accident cleared out within the next couple of minutes. i'll send it back to you. >> thanks, vianey. 4:49 right now. in danville, dozens coming together to remember john moore, the 6-year-old was killed sunday. moore was a well-known businessman and former president of the danville rotary. candlelight vigil was held in his honor last night and his family says they still can't believe he's gone. >> i lost half of me by losing
