morning. we let this roll on to see the heavier cells producing this swath of moisture from sonoma and lake counties down to the santa cruz mountains by 9 a.m. on monday. and it just continues for much of the day on monday. tuesday morning when we still have lingering showers, we pick up copious amounts of rain. again, this is probably over doing it between now and tuesday to pick up more than 4.5" of rain would really lead to big problems. so i'm going to say this leads to a sense that we are going to be getting on the order of a few inches of rain in the bay area between now and tuesday morning. and no wonder this flood watch is posted already for tomorrow night through monday night throughout the bay area with heavy rainfall coming in the overnight hours, not tonight but tomorrow night, as a result river flooding possible by the early-morning hours of tuesday gusty winds developing, as well. so usuriesgusty winds up to 35

going to be looking for heavy rain, gusty winds, and that will last much of the day monday before beginning to taper off into scattered showers on tuesday. here's the good news. ednesday, thursday, fri day, saturday it looks as though finally we have at least a decent ridge of high pressure building in over the west coast that will keep us dry by midweek but in the meantime between now and then we are going to get flooding potential again in the bay area by monday night and tuesday. so it will be something you want to stay tuned for. jules? >> thank you. the world's ocean holds many secrets but scientists may have just exposed an 8th continent that's hiding. >> straight ahead, all the roundball you can stand! amateurs and pros. college and nba ballers like these two fellas. and the wolf huffed and puffed... like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe.
