beautiful evening right now, but we have got some rain ahead. we do. a couple of storms coming our way, so, they are not going to be a major, not anywhere near as impactful is what we have been through with the last two storms. so, here's the first one. right off the coast on first alert doppler, we are going to put in the future cast at the top of the newscast, but here's a review. it is going to rain overnight. it will start mainly in the predawn hours and go through sunrise. even in the early morning hours of sunday. this will turn off. and then we will be done with that first one, get anywhere from a quarter to a half an inch of rain. for the north bay valleys. but that is very manageable. this is not like the stuff we were seeing last week. we don't have weather advisories or any concerns from that standpoint. it also gets a bit breezy with
8:40 pm
this one tomorrow, but we will see the gusts in the mid to 20 mile an hour range. we are not talking about 50 or 60 mile an hour gusts like we were with the storms that came through here last time, those lot two atmospheric layers. this one is not like that one at all, it does not have an atmospheric river component to it. as we look at the big picture here comes the next one after that. monday, we will get a break and tuesday the next one comes in. let's watch that one again, and in fact, here's the comparison sunday morning rain tuesday possible's storm is different, it will have a different aim to it. kind of got a low here, a little rotation, it will want to pull most of the rain to the south, deeper shades of orange down there. down monterey county and then we will get the more impressive stuff going down to southern california. they are bracing for heavy rain in the mountains not so much on the northern edge of it.
8:41 pm
if you look at the rainfall totals for that one,this is just monday night into the rest of wednesday. that whole time from from the storm. this is the tuesday storm. that will spread out over 24-36 hours, and the wind doesn't look too bad on that one. maybe a few light showers, we will keep the small chance of rain on friday for that next system. unfortunately, we can't get rid of it yet. it is going to snow in the sierra again. and what is good about these storms is it will stay a low, 5000 feet, relatively healthy. that is good, you don't want to see them up around seven or 8000 feet, where it is just running on stuff up there, but it is more snow to contend with on top of a history making snowpack already. so, we start out tomorrow, cloudy skies, damp, a bit of a breeze, the temperatures are right around 50. so, it doesn't warm up a whole
8:42 pm
lot from there. we will warm up in the upper 50s, daytime highs. maybe a few of us get to 60, then it is busy at the seven- day forecast, so, we'll talk about sunday's rain, monday we get a break. tuesday, the next system comes in maybe a few lingering showers on wednesday. thursday we get a break and friday's rain does not look impressive by any measure, but right now there is still a small chance for some light rain there. hopefully will have a quieter scenario in the east bay and north bay valleys. it is the same story, this time of year the numbers are almost identical, the chance for rain as well. all right, over to you. we got sports coming up after the break. another day, and another number one seed out in the ncaa tournament. warriors, meanwhile, on the road again. and tonight, they have got a case of the memphis blues. highlights,

8:56 pm
rehabilitation, it's about homecoming, this is about stretching people's minds and reducing recidivism in this state, and reducing the likelihood of someone coming back and not being a full member of society, and keeping people safe and making sure that victims feel respected throughout that process. >> governor newsom says if the money is approved, the san quentin rehabilitation center will open in 2025. well, and sex marriage has been legal in california for about a decade, but the 2008 voter approved ban on those unions still exists in the state constitution. there is now a push to get an amendment on the 2024 ballot to repeal prop eight. kelsey thorne spoke with a couple who sued to overturn it in the first place and won. >> reporter: it was 10 years ago, this june, that chris perry and sandy stier were finally able to get married.
