a vertical there. it's not reaching the ground. a little bit of rain falling from this as we look at doppler in a second. there is some light rain. but the bigger deal is how cold it feels. not because of the temperatures on the thermometer, but because of the wind. we've got a 35 miles an hour gust out there, which we look at the top of the newscast to make it and feel cold. there is a windshield on this day that goes until 11:00 tonight. in terms of those showers, you can see how few and far in between there. first alert doppler will see some out over the pacific. futurecast will see the same thing. none of them really amount to too much. for the most part it will be more clear skies than anything else. through tuesday, more blue skies than anything else and less wind. but if you look at the next few hours as we looked at this, we just want you to see what happens between now and 6:00. whatever part of the bay you're in, the wind is going to get a little stronger than where it is right now. it's going to pick up. by the early evening hours is when we will see the peak of this. gusts in the upper 30s, and out
