moderate rain continue for the north bay, but it's picked up quite a bit from richmond over to san francisco and over toward san ramon, starting to get a little heavier right now. it's been pouring pretty hard for much of the peninsula, from south san francisco to san mateo, over to half moon bay. and then it gets lighter for mountain view, but it's about to pick up in the next few minutes. it's finally approaching san jose and moving into los gatos as well. the rain just getting going in some of those spots, but we'll see it quickly sweeping through and then off and on showers for the rest of the late morning hours into the afternoon. but really at any point today we could still see some rain coming down. there may even be some breaks with sunshine, and there will be just spots in the bay area that gets a little bit more additional showers. it looks like the rain stays very close to us as we go into the day on saturday, so we may not completely dry out. this is right in time for the chinese new year parade and it

looks like there's going to be at least some light rain, but it gets heavier as we go into late tomorrow evening, as well as sunday morning. throughout the day on sunday, lingering showers and then clearing out. as far as how much rain we're expecting, a decent amount. anywhere from an 1 to closer to 1 1/2 inches in the santa cruz mountains, and then beyond that we could see rain for next wednesday and then again next weekend, so we're back into a more stormy weather pattern while the sierra will see a decent amount of snow this weekend, up to 21 inches. we could see additional snowfall going into next week. another 55 inches of snowfall over the course of seven days. so that's going to be another big, amazing thing to see for our winter pattern. mike, you're seeing a messy drive across the san mateo bridge. >> we talked about the rain going through san mateo into half moon bay and it's continuing across the bay. over on the hayward side you see

workers, so people don't feel like it's worth it to pay for a home when job security is not as great as it used to be. >> bay area housing, however, still extremely high. the median mortgage payments for san francisco and san jose are well over $8,000 a month. oakland is almost $5,500. get ready to laugh. ahead on "today in the bay," the stars of lopez versus lopez opening up about why their new series hits home. >> happening now, people in san francisco will get a chance to show off their green thumb. the nonprofit friends of the forest started the adopt a yard tree program and will hand out free trees to residents. some will be given out on a first come, first serve basis, and the festival tomorrow starts at the bay view district. people can choose between six types of fruit trees and seven types of fruit trees and seven types of freeseative to the n
