where it gets interesting. now, we do expect half an inch to two inches down through southern california, which is the reason they're under the flood watches. it's been so interesting to see the weather shifting down in southern california. last weekend, we had record highs with storms. here's what we're looking at for the next seven days. 70s and 60s. again, it is a spotty chance, but we're not ruling it out completely. model runs are backing off, keeping the rain mainly to the south of us. we still see activity up here. >> keep our fingers crossed for that. >> we will. >> vianey, thanks. 7:43. coming up next on "today in the bay," getting ready for kick-off. one day until the 49ers take the field for game one of their new season. we'll tell you when kick-off is and where you can watch that game. plus, did you know if you have a samsung tv, you can watch nbc bay area news on your schedule? turn to channel 10-35. if you have a roku, select the
