the terrain in the bay area. we are talking about rainfall amounts approaching 1/10th of an inch in san jose and in the hills above san jose. that is generally the range. from a few 1/100th of an inch of rainfall to maybe a couple 10ths. not enough to cause issues, a rain event that moved through quickly. we are not done with the rain chances, these, amounts are very modest. we will see another round of showers heading through the rest of tonight. it will be more mist than hit. a few showers making their way into the mountains as we speak. light activity the showers are sparse as we head into early tomorrow morning, future cast indicates potential for flash and dash showers. not a big problem in the morning commute. more rain developing in the afternoon. not as widespread as what moved through late this afternoon and evening. another round of widespread rain in the forecast late friday into the first half of the weekend. we will take a look at that with a

longer look at future cast and the seven-day outlook coming up. >> thanks for keeping us prepared, always, paul. learning more about a man stuffed in a suitcase floating in lake merit. the police say that clue is not nearly enough. first, the fight seen around the country. mother and father bad news for the doves. two starters will be sitting out for two very different reasons >> they stated they wish they could be there. in this country it would be criminalized. >> it is the castro's answer to apec. the bay area is known for having some of the best food in the world. when the world comes to the bay area, why do they seem to opt for the fast food?

politics, policy protests and now, pride. san francisco has long led the way in allowing people to love who they love. not always true in other parts of the world which is why city leaders came up with gaypec. >> gaypec kicked off in the castro this weekend. it was packed. you can see all of the people here at mo in the castro, organizers told us the goal of this event was to bring together lbgtq apec attendees, they wanted to show them what it is like to be lgbtq here in san francisco. the supervisor's office put on the event to show attendees, especially those from other countries who may not have lgbtq protections what a world with those protections look like >> i want them to think hey, i should do this back home and feel as though i can be myself and i don't have to hide and of

that. >> state senator scott wiener stopped by, so did assembly member lowe. he told us he has been spreading the word all week but several delegates told them even though they wanted to they would not be able to make it. >> during the entire week i had a number of delegates come to me acknowledge to me they were aware of this event celebrating lgbtq and they stated they wish they could be there but in their country this would be criminalized and they would lose their jobs. it is heartbreaking to hear that. a stark reminder about the work that needs to be done. >> still, several from countries around the world did show up. local performer curveball told us it was nice to see such a big crowd. >> a great reminder for us who have the privilege to celebrate our queerness every day we can gather other people that may not do that and show them and bring them in our family and we love you who they are and we

want to celebrate that. >> assembly member lowe told me he spoke to several delegates during apec that will stay in the city long past when the summit ends he told me many of them want to see and enjoy all that the city has to offer. >> all right. paul, i did ask. if you can make it rain in here. in the work appropriate term make it rain. [ laughter ] >> we are standing in the middle of the bay. >> the virtual environment and today different places all over the places we saw heavy rainfalling >> it did not last long, that is why we saw the modest amounts. we are working on a way to make three dimensional rainfall within our virtual reality. >> can we just say make it rain. >> make it precipitate. that is the nerdy way of saying it. make it rain. make it precipitate, paul. let's see how much precipitation fell and filling in the map that we did

not focus on earlier. we are getting a little more right now. also, over 1/10th of an inch of rain in the tri-valley. go up to valley, heavier amounts. here you are on the short end, san rafael and not much more for the higher elevations, the cut off low, that is the storm system that has been separated from the main storm track it is just stuck in place. it is going to continue to send ripples of energy towards us with more on and off showers, we had a few out there. making their way through the mountains, the showers are more mist than hit. it is possible they will be out there. this version of future cast keeps us dry. the forecast models agree. a descent chance of rain developing during the afternoon and early evening on thursday. it is not going to be as widespread or heavy. but just a little bit to complicate the evening commute and a

longer stretch of dry weather once again. the long-range forecast models agree that we are talking about a better chance of more widespread rain coming at us in waves beginning friday afternoon and then continues friday evening and friday night. little breaks in between. just a wet time frame basically any time from midday on friday all of way through midday on saturday. this is as the heart of the storm system tracks directly over the bay area. gusty winds will be possible as well. then the showers will move off to the east. we will be drying out by saturday evening and saturday night. i mean, drying out. no rain chances at all in the forecast from sunday through the abbreviated rainfall. how much rain? the forecast model might just be stretching things a bit. talking two inches of rain. that is within the range of what is possible as the heart of the storm system tracks over head from friday into early saturday. in general, half an inch to an inch of rain is the expectation for most parts of the bay area. some of the rain showers may get less than that. should be a

good soaking rain. that is what we need to put a complete end to the fire season. cloud cover will chip away. the numbers will be suppressed heading into the weekend. let's take a look at forecast high temperatures tomorrow, before the next round of shovers arrives will be above average, five degrees above normal in san jose. you are the only one forecasting to reach the lower 70s. everybody else, middle to upper 60s. inland, the east bay, temperatures in the middle to upper 60s around the bay. middle to upper 60s. san francisco, oakland, guess what, along the coast, half-moon bay, middle 60s. farther north, the temperatures ever a couple degrees below normal. hitting the upper half represents a departure of what is normal for the middle of november. we will keep the trend going moving into the extended time frame. we will look at the forecast showing a half and half forecast. once we are passed saturday things will dry out. we will stand in the middle

here, we have the wet half of the forecast and then the dry half of the forecast. a bit of a warm up as well. we get closer to inland, the temperatures, hovering, through the first half of next week, once the dry weather settles in, it looks like it will last never a while. showing the seven-day forecast here. getting glimpses at the longer range model. it locks like it will stick around through the thrtion holiday on thursday. looks like we can see a dry, calm pattern sticking around through the four day weekend. next hint of rain might not come our way until the last couple of days of november. we have a few more chances tracking it. >> is it an art insulation or creepy message ever. how a run of the mill neighborhood dispute led to all of this . hey, straight ahead in
