rain and higher elevations in the mountains of the north bay. but i think that is probably a bit too optimistic. for more reasonable up to around half an inch. there is time for mother nature to change her mind. if we get rain, the sierra would likely pick up extra inches of snow. that wobe a bonus ahead ofgivingfor resorts. right now, some clouds and the horizon, those should make for a beautiful sunset, this evening. temperatures in the 60s for most of us, 72 degrees in santa rosa again. most of these numbers, 1 to 3 degrees above normal. we will see with that onshore breeze some clouds overhead and the return of fog over the coast, maybe a little inside the bay by early tomorrow morning. that shouldn't have a big impact on

your morning commute. passing clouds will be with us through the day. for the most part filtering the sunshine, not completely looking at. constant movement tonight won't be substantial enough to hold water to the ground. low 40s around the bay, by early tomorrow morning. high temperatures on thursday, reaching up to the low to mid 60s around the bay, mid to the upper 60s further inland. all these numbers within a degree or two hours average. the offshore breeze will kick in once again, then it's back to normal, with a cooler pattern, next week, along with showers. along with the increase in clouds, and dry during the day, best chance of showers arrives late monday night and sticks around into tuesday, and then we dry out for any thanks giving travel plans on wednesday, and the eighth day of the seven-day forecast, so be on the scope of the seven-day. it is thanksgiving day. >> over the river and through the woods, paul, thank you. with the 49ers traveling
