lead to any significant threat of mud slides and debris flows. here is the radar simulation, you see the scattered nature of the rain. the one part of this concerning is there is the possibility of a couple of popup thunderstorms and those would drop enough rain in a short amount of time to lead to a heightened threat of debris flows. the storms would have to develop in exactly the right place and drop that significant amount of rain. odds of that are less than 10%. we are also watching our own shower chances. not as high as southern california but they are not zero either. we'll talk about that in a few minutes. every few years, santa clara county conducts a new count of its unhoused population and it is using a new method focused on places where people tend to gather rather than going street by street. officials hope more people will respond to help them better understand the main

upcoming weekend. we will see a mix of clouds and sunshine tomorrow. then a cooler weekend return to near normal temperatures saturday and sunday. and unsettled weather as well. then we dry out again. this will not be a significant rainmaker. right now, seeing clear skies, temperatures dropping off into the 50s for the most part. 51 is the cool part in concord. skies will remain clear. which means temperatures are dropping off pretty quickly. mostly in the middle portion of the 30s for the north bay valleys. low to mid 40s around the bay. and along the coast, closer to average for this time of year, not quite as chilly as the past couple of nights and temperatures a mix of upper 30s and low 40s but you will warm

up into the up ther 60s by tomorrow afternoon. no 70s on the map tomorrow. uppe 50s along the coast will prevail. an on shore breeze to bring temperatures closer to where they are supposed to be this time of year, but enjoy this one additional day of slightly above average temperatures because we do see the temperatures returning to basically normal as we head into the weekend and we bring in that chance for some scattered showers. this is the futurecast radar simulation saturday afternoon continuing into saturday evening and overnight. this is not going to be a significant rainmaker. scattered showers is the most likely scenario. widely scattered showers. not amounting to much more than a trace of total rainfall. but after three weeks of dry weather we'll take what we can get. gusty winds in the north

bay mountains where a wind advisory goes into effect 10:00 tomorrow evening for wind gusts potentially over 50 miles per hour. the wind advisory extends further to the east, and into the sierra where they will see some accumulating snow for the first time in a few weeks. we are talking a couple of inches lake level. close to eight inches on top of some of the peaks. most of this falling saturday into saturday night. so if you are headed in that direction, be prepared for slow travel coming back by sunday afternoon into sunday evening. maybe that is just a good excuse to put off coming back until monday. long range doesn't mention the extended look beyond the scope of the seven day forecast. it is not as strong a signal as what we have been talking about. for the first time in a while, a

signal toward wetter than normal conditions. it is that long range data. we'll have to wait and see. we dry out and stay mild. temperatures around 60 degrees and the next chance of showers headed our way thursday of next week. not going to amount to a whole lot but with a dry january, beggars can't be choosers. coming up, the cost of your shower could cost more. why some bay area residents could be looking at a double digit increase in water rates. and, coming up on the prime time edition, going rogue. over parking on san francisco's west side. the confusion caused by this mystery red pain
