half-moon bay, measuring and weighing pumpkins today. did not get measurable rain. a lot of people felt a drop or two of rain. not enough to measure. we got a little bit of measurable rain. go north. take a look at santa rosa up in the north bay. one place we got measurable 1/100th of an inch of rain. let's switch or perspective. go to the wide view. a weak system coming tomorrow, another chance of rain, so, what i want to do now is look at it differently. and put the forecast on here for each part of the bay. the percent chance you are going to get rain. the percent of precipitation. call these pops. and, the numbers are about 30%. take a look across the bay here. in the south bay, 30% chance of rain. we can follow that trend as we go either inland or back up north and we don't see significant deviation from that. we are going to look at the high-resolution future cast in a second. in addition

to showing you what the percent chances are for your part of the bay to get some rain, we are going to track this line of showers in a moment. i will show you what it looks like before we get to that. chance of rain furthermore, day time highs are not budging. how it felt today, that is how it will be tomorrow. a lot of upper 60s on here. let's get into some of the detail on how the system will come together for us. the best way to do that is to bring back in the live updating radar first. we say good-bye to the system from today. just really not much left to this. when we watch the future cast, a few drops, not much accumulation to go. so, i am going to skip ahead. now, we will look at tuesday into wednesday. watch the time up there. that starts as we get into tomorrow morning. and i am going to bring the line of showers across the bay. and, this is pretty much from noon until about 6:00 in the evening. starts in the north bay around

1:00. gets down to the south bay. by the time we got 7:00, 8:00, it pretty much cleared that is it. that is our chance for rain tomorrow. it probably will be identical to today. you got a 30% chance of rain. those are fairly low odds. most likely does not necessarily turn into a lot for us. so, let's get into the seven-day forecast. we will see what is coming next. starting out with our microclimates, drop of rain on here for tuesday. that was the system we were talking about. if you go beyond that, a little bit of a warm up, lower 80s by the time we get towards the end of the week. another system back here on saturday. it is going to try and come to the bay. the pacific it is just throwing systems right now towards the west coast. they are just going too far north for us to have a high degree of confidence. getting the rain out of it. you will see on saturday, the temperatures coming down a little bit. none of it impressive enough to get

the raindrops in there for saturday. you see the drop of rain coming down there on tuesday. can not do that yet for the weekend. it does not look impressive enough. all right, liz back to you. >> all right, thank you very much. there was a lot of build up to the 49ers/cowboys match up. how the red
