the best of the rain pretty much right now. it started around midnight. let me show you how much we have gotten while you were sleeping. first alert doppler is working well this morning. just this morning we have picked it up .7 of an inch. palo alto, down in the south bay has gotten .3 inches of rain. we've got and just about as much rain in the santa clara valley as we have anywhere else. if we go back to first alert doppler, widespread rain. it was a nice direct hit on the whole bay area. we will take the showers from where they are now that organize yellow line right there shows up in the future cast. that is where the best of the rain is. every play at forward to see

tuesday. on thursday, the totals go what . we are looking more like .5 inches of rain. and we put another 6 inches down in the sierra. we could get three feet on thursday. that is where things stand in the forecast model. let's give thursday some time to play out. here is today's rain. we clear the system out and get sunshine. on monday the rain arrives late . it will be monday night rain. it will be tuesday morning rain before thursday showers and you can see that same story playing out. tomorrow, we are back up near 70 . >> i wasn't surprised by the rain on the drive-in but i was surprised by its intensity. getting all of this snow late in the season has got to be good news for the drop picture.

>> i believe that these nonprofits will serve the community. >> that settlement does not include money for people who lost homes or businesses. they are filing their own claims with pg&e and some think the end of the criminal process will speed up the other process. as the legal gears move, victims are hoping that some kind of compensation is on the way. >> there better be. i sure hope so. you would think if they can pay the banks all the money they owe them. i certainly hope there is something in there. >> reporter: kpix5 . the giants were across the country yesterday. the 80s were in another country and the nba playoffs are 100% said. it is time to rock and roll. a
