after the chilly start to the day and the showers moving out we will see the temperatures heading to the mid-60s and the sky will gradually clear. we will see the temperatures in milpitas reaching 60 degrees, and as we move over towards the east bay, mid-60s. this is like an all-day jacket day, especially with the breezy winds. oakland reaching 62. upper 50s in daly city. mainly upper 50s from the marina district to engel side, and then mission district up to 61. we are so excited to see the rain moving through. we had one last bursts of showers moving through bartolo valley, and now towards los gatos and towards cupertino. maybe heading down to the south county next here. this is one last bit of moisture that fired up over the past hour or so but the bigger picture

shows this system is winding down. this could happen to subtropical moisture, and enhance the amount of rain and that's exactly what we need. i will stop it here at 8:30 tuesday night. we see it moving into parts of the north bay approaching san francisco, and continuing to spread across the rest of the bay area. heavier rain during the early wednesday morning hours. then light spotty showers lingering into wednesday and possibly on and off rain through the end of the week. as far as the rainfall totals, it shows some of the models could maybe put down an inch of rain in parts of the north bay. also for mill valley, maybe a quarter inch of rain. this would be great for us if it pans out. also the models are showing very high amounts of snow going toward the end of the month for the sierra. we could see possibly a couple

feet or more in some of our upper elevations, a lot of our ski resorts, and this would be a nice and early start to our ski season. our temperatures are going to stay nice and cool, only coming up to the low 70s to the inland areas on thursday, and that's in between the showers falling. looks like we will see off and on rain through thursday and friday, and then maybe another round of rain coming in on sunday. this won't bust the drought but could put an end to the wildfire season, so it's great to see this time of year. mike, you are looking at a couple spots in silicon valley. >> yeah, the rain brushing down here through 280 in that area, so do get that note as well as if you are heading down to highway 17 through los gatos. that could be a factor. right now 101, we had things jamming up by our camera, right about there, and now the tapping the brakes

around the capital. we will see slowing for 87 as well, and that's a little more volume coming through this area. the crash here still blocking one lane. from what i understand, there's minor slowing at the transition. no major concerns with the rain, but slick conditions may be a factor as the grease and oil coming up to the surface. the build starts out of pittsburg, and then into concord already hitting 37. there's slowing on the incline and on the approach to san francisco. back to you. >> mike, thanks. happening now, palo alto trying to go more green. today the city council expect to approve the transition of gas and water to smart meters. this move would end meter
