6:14 pm
thank you so much. looking west towards future tower and a quick look at how they worked out. showers came through early and really by 1:00, 2:00 in the afternoon, we were done, and looking there at 6:00, 7:00 in the morning. that would move across the north bay, pretty much few hours before sunrise. and it will be a little bit left over and look at the rainfall totals, they did not amount to a whole lot and they came away, but we did come with just about 1,500 in santa rosa. and on wednesday, very similar system coming our way by the time we would get to wednesday will bring in another chance for light rain. let me show you what that would likely look like by the time we would get there and as the clouds are picking up again. and probably just a mix bag of a few high clouds and some breaks over the next few days. by wednesday, we're back
6:15 pm
in it and the same timing at 7:00 in the morning and rain will move across the north bay. and by late morning, it's moving across the rest of the bay. and probably does hold together this time to get some light rain down to the south bay. and it is pretty much done. if you look at rainfall total potential from that one and trying to broad brush the numbers, a look ahead. maybe it's like a quarter of an inch of rain and that will be about it. and then we'll get towards the longer range forecast. climate prediction center and their outlook. for the degree of confidence being above average for day 8 to 14. so this is where they will lead off and that they will go out another seven days. and we'll show you the higher degree of confidence that they are going to be above average. and what that looks like over the next seven days. we'll break down the seven days starting out with our warmest microclimate here and at least in this seven-day forecast. and san jose, if you get any rain on
6:16 pm
that, there is a drop of rain on wednesday and it would not be much, but you would get something. and then that is where they will show up, looking out towards next saturday and sunday and before we would get there for san jose. if we look at a couple of other micro climates, let's do this now for inland parts of the bay in general. this is more like north bay and livermore, trivalley. you'll make it up to the lower 70s. and our third and final seven-day forecast display will be called the bay and that is peninsula and they will include the city here, pretty much going to the mid to upper 60s. and small chance for rain on wednesday, and a warm up by next weekend. over to you. >> all right, i'll take the handoff and take it from here. straight ahead in sports, clutch shots and something i know that you don't know about all-star weekend and a san francisco

6:21 pm
good player back in the day at the high school. and he credits his coach, putting him on the path that led him from oakland to the nba. >> when i say that, what does that mean to you? >> i wouldn't be standing here in front of you. and for me, it is something i say they saved my life and for him to mentor me and the way they did, i could never repay him, so i will try to pay it forward. and that's what i'll do with the coach. women's game, the jason kidd theme hoodie. where can i get one of those? they're in a battle with syracuse as they hit a three to put them up five in the fourth quarter. just over a minute to play. caleb williams, got to the rim. that's a huge

>> and you could have a chance for a little rain. >> and then that's 75 that will get here by next weekend, south bay. but still, a lot of those inland locations will be in the lower 70s. it will be a nice change. and so just a quick review. did you get any rain today? and it is always kind of fun to look back, especially on the virtual map to see how they went today. we did get rain. the showers came through where they were pretty short lived and pretty much confined to the north bay and the time stamp. we're looking at this morning at 5:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., 7:00 hour. 8:00 hour. then by 10:00, they will start to fizzle out and we department get a whole
6:46 pm
lot from it, but you can see the totals from it and these are the numbers that we did get. and in the city, it is not where it counts. not in the official gauge down there and just off market street, in fact, where if it did not happen there, according to the historical records, it did not rain today, but we got the other measurements that did get it. and in santa rosa. so those numbers will be similar when they come through. take a look at the big picture out in the northern hemisphere and a beautiful display right now of the storm track where it is always, just cold to look at and helpful to kind of look down the road to see what's coming, especially when you can see this next pool of cold air, but it won't look like as they get here on the daylight side of the divider on the satellite and that is us right there. the lights of l.a. down there at the west coast, the clearing skies.
6:47 pm
so let's put the rain in that and we will now play that forward, just to see what that system looks like. there is the rain and keep your eye down on the time there and because it will take to about wednesday, before that will get there. even when they do get here, it will be coming to the north. we could do that to watch that system progress across the pacific and that there is not a lot of it and closer to perspective with the overall american model. say good-bye to today's time lapse. so it is a closer view zoomed in on tuesday. this is the european model. quite frankly that one has been better coming this way for winter. let's see what they have to say and that is wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. and the showers will arrive in the north bay. by late morning, it's gotten down to the golden gate. it's fizzling out. maybe
6:48 pm
we'll get some light rain. and there will be a little bit of a wind issue when we come back on the virtual set. and just to kind of put the winds on there that we would expect them to pick up, by the time we get to wednesday afternoon late. by the time you would look at that here for tomorrow, they're pretty typical, but if we play those winds forward and we watch that go through time, you'll see how the winds pick up on wednesday with that change in the direction and the orientation of the winds, you see how things move around here. we're taking that through wednesday. right there, wind speeds will pick up
6:49 pm
as will on wednesday when that system will come through. but it doesn't look like it will be enough for the concern from a wind advisory standpoint. and with them going to the mid-70s, round this out to show you the rest of the bay, and that we will be all that warm. numbers across the bay, which will look a little bit more like this. all right, over to you. >> and coming up, you're on the radar today and we will talk about that in a minute. the century preserved for all to hear and to see. that's next.

welcome back. long before you could stream and decades before you could flip tv channels, radio is what connected communities. 90% of americans listened to radios in the 1940s. and while that has changed over the years. one thing that has not been taken away are the memories of the people that made bay area radio great. i mean great. and the radio society is here to make sure those days and radios and the voices are never forgotten.
