looks more likely that the rain will make its way toward the coast but stay off the coast and not even give us a drop through thursday. we are back into full sunshine heading into the first day of presidents' day weekend with more of the same in-store by sunday and monday and we have to look further down the line for another significant rain chance and the details on that are fuzzy because of the realities of how the forecast process works. the closer we are the more details we can give you but the next one is the seventh day of the seven-day forecast, so we are at the recognition phase and it does look like we will get into a type of weather pattern that is favorable for rain chances to move into the bay area and it is reflected in that outlook and it takes us through march 1 with a significant chance not just for the bay area but for much of california to go along with that looks like we will see a significant chance of below normal temperatures. it will be wet and chilly to finish off february and as we

rounded the corner into march. for now, i wouldn't call it chilly but temperatures in the mid upper 60s and 61 in santa rosa. it has nice bright blue skies and that is the consequence of the wind. it will be chilly by the morning and we start with temperatures in the low to mid 30s inland and low 40s around the bay and coast but today we will warm up decently and not likely to set records. the closest we will be is in san francisco which will be the warmest spot for the least cold within 2 degrees but otherwise these locations are good 5 to 10 degrees above record territory to start on thursday. we do warm-up within 5 degrees at the worst of what is normal for the middle of february and we will zoom in. here likely to reach the mid- 50s or 60 down the peninsula and south end of the bay with low 60s in the santa clara valley. this will be one of the warm spots but not that form inland and you play catch-up for most

of the day but here a little cooler with an earlier arrival with clouds to filter out the sunshine so highs reach up into the mid-50s with chillier readings north and 50 toward clear lake. temperatures similar on friday and maybe a little warmer but we continue the trend in the presidents' day weekend with the dry weather continuing through the holiday and low 60s in san francisco and oakland saturday through monday with mid upper 60s and it looks like a fantastic three day weekend. still mild on tuesday for the next chance of showers but it will be accompanied by the first wave of chillier headed our way as we ride the roller coaster again next week. a loss in the entertainment world. racquel welch has died after a
