into the action will keep host. the weather is looking mostly favorable. a few showers trying to sneak in before the sun goes down. more likely the heavier rain will hold off until late evening, overnight. this will be more widespread. more substantial, not enough to cause any flooding problems. just beneficial rain for the bay area. that moves off to the east, so we're back into an off and on commute with showers continuing through the rest of monday, likely in place for the evening commute as well. we're not done. likely on tuesday, that'll taper off the linger showers on wednesday. then we'll dry out as we head towards the end of the workweek. maybe a chance for showers by next friday, but that's really far down the line. the total chance for rain about an inch or so. and it returns to purple. at least 1.5 inches of rain. some of the highest spots could pick up to 3 to 7 inches of rain. two to three feet of snow and the high

sierra, at least one foot within the winter storm warning that goes into effect on sunday afternoon. it continues through early on wednesday. right now it's not rain, it's just fog and plenty of it. temperatures in the low to mid-50s. those numbers won't change a whole lot the rest of the night. upper 40s and the low 50s to start the day on saturday. and high temperatures before the rain arrives, only around 60 north of the golden gate. everybody else in the low to mid-60s along the coast where the temperatures will reach the upper 50s. a few degrees below average, but the warmest weather we're going to see for a while. as the rain chances go up, the temperatures go down. it will be rather raw out there on monday and tuesday. wet and cool with the highs in the 50s. again monday and tuesday definitely the wettest days of the seven-day forecast. and we will dry out on wednesday and thursday. temperatures don't warm up a whole lot. then there's another chance for showers in the forecast by the end of next week. just a chance at this point.
