hundred to a couple of tenths of an inch. the further south you go the activity is not reaching the ground so keep that in mind and it will be a gloomy start to a day but look at what happens over the next five hours. most of the activity is kind of going to fizzle out before it reaches our south bay communities or even much of the peninsula. i will let you know how long these quiet conditions will stick around because we are tracking another round of rain after this morning and i will let you know the details coming up in my full forecast. back to you. thank you. the bay area's buzzing this weekend. we caught up with big crowds all over san francisco yesterday for the nba all-star weekend festive disease . and of course for the lunar new year parade. and more traffic is expected today to more events are scheduled throughout the city including the all-star game at chase center. going back to the annual lunar new year parade it took over market street to celebrate the year of the snake. sooji nam capture the highlights win

expect flooding threats and we don't expect strong wind gusts. right now we are looking at the beginning edge of the system making its way over north bay communities and maybe over san francisco right now but it is very, very light and i would consider this a light drizzle . it's not anything crazy heavy and it is the north bay communities that might pick up a couple of tenths of an inch drop this afternoon but again it's really not going to be anything too oppressive early this morning. a lot of cloud coverage is filling in across the area that essentially keeping our temperatures a couple of degrees warmer than what we were feeling yesterday. yesterday we were in the 30s across a lot of the bay area and today we are a couple of degrees to upwards of five to nearly 10 degrees warmer places like santa rosa, sitting in the 40s right now. mid 40s in san francisco, upper 40s , depending

on where you're located but again either way we will continue to see mostly dry conditions across the bay area. this line of rain we see early this morning is not going to last much longer than the next couple of hours . look at it breaking apart as it moves over the land and this is the view at 8:30, not going to last much longer in the early, early morning hours . if you stay in bed for another couple of hours you should be good and avoid most of the rain, not to say a couple of clouds will not stick around this afternoon but overall really not too much worry about when it comes to the weather , this afternoon. early this morning grab that umbrella and quiet and clear conditions to care on monday into tuesday before the next storm system arrives very early wednesday morning. similar to today it's only going to be impacting us early in the morning. by the afternoon hours on wednesday you will be seeing much drier air arriving and did really good news for all of us that want to get outdoors and soak up some sunshine and warmer temperatures, upper 60s to near 70 degrees is going to return by

next weekend. it's going to be lovely and dry by the end half of the week but the beginning have you have to keep your eyes on the radar and definitely grab an umbrella , this morning and wednesday morning. back to you. >> thank you. now to a disease that is killed millions of trees in california and oregon since its discovery in the mid-1990s. researchers at uc berkeley have found a new strain of sudden oak death in the east bay hills . if they cannot be contained it could mean real trouble . brian hackney reports. >> we are in told in part above grizzly peak road in this is in the east bay regional park district. >> reporter: she is the ecological services managers at the park. it's a first place in contra costa county that a new strain of the deadly killing microbe was found. >> this is the tree the tested positive in the fall and this is when we came back and re-resampled in december .

>> reporter: this morning they are extracting dna from bay leaves would spread the disease to nearby oaks . the telltale brokerages make indicate infection. >> it may be sudden oak death but we don't know for sure until we test the dna that comes from the samples . >> reporter: using a hole punch, cutouts from the leaves are placed in vials . >> i am getting the extracted dna we collected from the leaves from the hole punches. we do about 1600 tests. >> reporter: and 45 minutes the verdict is in. >> a very specific test that indicates that the sample is positive. >> reporter: there is a possibility the new variant could sweep like wildfire through our remaining oaks. that is why the experts are enlisting community scientists to identify six trees , asap. >> californians in the community is who is testing this. >> reporter: so if you have oak trees that are standing next to

conditions that most of us are dealing with. over the past couple of hours the rain has just begun to move over as far north they communities and this is where accumulating rain is likely. the rest of us to, it's very, light in san francisco. it looks like we might have seen an isolated little bit but if you look at how much rain we have picked up over the past couple of hours, it's zero in san francisco. only the north bay communities that are picked up a couple of hundred seven inch. it's really nothing impressive . the only places that have picked up slightly more is up near mount st. helena where a little bit over a quarter of an inch was picked up and again it is nothing crazy and we are not expecting early morning flooding . most of the activity from this morning as want to dissipate as a pushes south and let's look over the next five hours where really not much activity is going to be moving overhead . not to say some low hanging clouds is not likely further north but it's not going to be anything crazy this afternoon. and most of us not going to have to grab the umbrella. early this morning , we are dealing with more cloud coverage and that low hanging cloud coverage and fog just arrived actually after the sunset and that really cool view

of that incoming low hanging clouds but look, a lot of the cloud coverage is trying to drop rain and you can literally see the rain falling from the cloud and evaporating before it reaches the ground. that is going to be the moral of the story for most of us, evaporating rain. it will not be very impactful this morning . the bigger impact is the fact that the temperatures are nearly as chilly as yesterday , nowhere is in the 30s, we are in the mid-40s and we want to seasonable this afternoon. this line of showers is not going to be doing much as it pushes south and it will be fighting a battle against the dry air and the dry air is going to win throughout this afternoon. high temperatures within a degree or two of average and that line of rain is not going to go much farther than the north bay communities and you may see a few piece of sunshine by the time the sun sets especially farther inland. no weather issues early next week either, a mixture of sun and clouds throughout the day on monday before next storm system officially arrives early wednesday morning. but very similar to this morning it's

not going to be crazy impactful, it will barely shop a lot of rain and will be a quick move are clearing out by late wednesday and into thursday and by thursday and friday our temperatures, you are going to love the warmer weather that is on the way. if you thought the past couple of days have been to chilly come upper 60s and 70 degrees returning to us seven-day forecast by next weekend. really, really lovely weather is on the way to kick off the week you will feel a bit more of that chill and cloudier conditions and grab an umbrella early wednesday morning especially if you live across the north bay. back to you. >> looking forward to the nice weather. coming up a san jose sports journalist opening the doors for future generations
