going into the north bay, we have tool temperatures in the lw areas. we will track the scattered showers coming in monday, and that going to fall apart a little bit. but the third one could be a sig nif rainmaker here, and possibly the boost that we need, and make up for the drought that we have had. we might have half a inch over the north bay, and the farther north we go, it would be great to get a couple of feet in the sierras with snow. we could get up to 34 feet of snow in the twin bridges which

would be amazing. hopefully they stay together, because we don't rally need them h. also, going into the weekend, we will see the temperatures cooling down, and the gusty winds, and next weekend the highs in the low 60s as the rain is coming off and on, and so, mike, you are seeing the major slowing in contra costa county? >> yes, it the most abrupt slowing. and building on the typical spots, and richmond bridge, and bay bridge, and highway 4 is way worse than typical because of the crash that started out at san marco, and the lanes are blocked because of a car that fell off of a trailer. and major backup here, and buchanan and kirkpatrick road,
