do start to dry out, as the rain chances keep the totals a bit farther north of the bay area. we're going to need it after tomorrow. san francisco a few lingering showers, and then we'll get the north bay showers into tuesday and wednesday. the second half of the week, things start to dry out. for the next 24 hours, a big punch of wind, rain and high turf, maybe 30-for a breaers. this is a powerful storm. >> rob, thanks very much. we'll be right back.
