to the camera on salesforce camera and look out to the east, you can see a few clouds out there. it stays cloudy most of today. even when we get rid of the mid- level clouds that we got out there now, the higher clouds with that storm's leading-edge will replace them. we will be looking at clouds pretty much throughout the day. we are in the 50s out there now for most locations. you can see how widespread these clouds are. you can see the mid-level marine stuff burns off by midmorning but they will be enough clouds coming in. if we track where the rain is coming from, we will bring that center all the way toward northern california with the bulk of the rain arriving for sunday. that is only half the story. we've got two days and a weekend and one of them on the leading edge of the weekend could see some light rain for the northbay.

any rain that we got out of this would not be a lot. just a few light showers and it will probably amount to less than an inch of rain. since it is saturday, just be aware. here is the sunday rainmaker. you can see why this would be a much different story. that is widespread rain coming in on sunday. a little before sunrise. it starts to clear down toward the center of the bay by noon. not until we get into the early afternoon before the last of the widespread rain comes to an end down in the south bay. it is really just the first half of the day sunday with widespread rain. it does not mean we are completely out of it by sunday afternoon but most of the energy by then should be focused on the central valley or as snow in the sierra. up to a foot of snow falling in the sierra on sunday. that means it will be a very slow driver for anyone who has to travel across the sierra on

sunday. back here at home, we pick up a quarter of an inch of rain in the south bay and east bay. maybe a bit more than that in the northbay. by monday, it is done. let's take a look at daytime highs for today. we will make it back up into the mid-60s. 66 in mountain view. 64 in hayward. milpitas, 65. numbers in the immediate bay top out in the upper 50s to low 60s. up in the far northbay, you can see temperatures holding. 7-day forecast shows us the rain on sunday coming to an end on monday and and warming up going into next week. by the time we get to wednesday and thursday of next week, it is certainly like this never happened but we will get back into a very familiar pattern for what we have been doing for much of this springs so far. well above average temperatures with daytime highs. those numbers are 10 to 12 degrees warmer than average for this time of year. >> any chance that the rain in

the sierra could be snow or is ski season done? >> it will fall as snow. up at donner pass, we will get about a foot of snow. it will be significant on the roadways. whether that is a major player for the ski season at this point, i doubt it. it is not the kind of thing that would really prolong any kind of season. >> sono july 4 skiing this year. >> forget it. >> bad news for the snowpack and skiers. april is national donate life month. a nonprofit based in the bay area is trying to increase awareness about organ and tissue donation. kpix 5's len kiese spoke with the founder of the organization that helps people direct donations to loved ones in need. >> we have been able to work with some sponsors and some friends and place billboards around the country reminding
