6:14 am
apple tweeted he's got light sprinkles and drizzle on and off he says and that's what we are seeing all around the bay as we zoom in at san francisco you see light showers beginning to come into view for sausalito and somepoo portions of the marin side of the golden gate bridge. and we may see things pick up in activity across the section of san francisco. also look at light drizzle at times throughout portions of the east bay up near pittsburgh and some of the communities that are in the foothills of the mount diablo and also in the livermore valley we had light rain over the all the mont pass but that's going but we placed it between the dublin to castro valley ride on 508 running into intermittent light showers and to the south of that as you can see heading towards union city, some light rain coming into view as well. that's what we are tracking at least with the radar. wide view on satellite shows there's more in the band of clouds that's working our direction. the front that's scheduled to arrive later today probably won't arrive until the evening commute.
6:15 am
at least that's the latest thinking with futurecast 4. we will run you through the timeline 8:00 is what we are seeing and again expecting mostly cloudy conditions with maybe a popup shower in the north bay. we are looking at noontime to see activity pick up a bit. you can see for the north bay and peninsula coastline light showers going bay area wide for the 3:00 hour as kids head home from school pockets of light rain spotted then. and the more substantial rain comes in to play by 5:00. just in time for the evening commute home. sorry. you will be dealing with that for the ride to get out of work and to home. we are looking at conditions heavy at times with the rain for san francisco and peninsula at the 5:00 hour and then spreading over the heart of the bay by 6 and we will continue to play a factor even into the 7 and 8:00 hour with moderate to heavy rain at times and exit out of the area by 8:00 leaving some light showers in its wake and by 9 most of it calms down. so it should be fine as you head to bed but during the overnight hours, we will see a few occasions where it will flare up 1 a.m. we could be looking at pockets
6:16 am
of moderate rain you may hear it on the roof. 7:00 in the morning things die down considerably and by noontime, it locks like the bulk of the wet weather is leaving the area and i think by the rest of the thursday we will look at partly sunny conditions for the afternoon. that's the story with the rain. here's what we see outside live right now. again, nice and clear here in san francisco as we look back across the bay bridge. and at times we are picking up sprinkle and the winds are blowing. oakland 29-mile-an-hour sustained winds so pushing 30- mile-an-hour mark there. 15 mile and hour winds in san jose 15 at redwood city and 17 in hayward coming from the south. all the east west bridges like san mateo and bay bridge, could be looking at pretty gusty kinsconditions as you driving across. be careful out there this morning. temperatures right now here's the interesting thing clouds are keeping us on the warm side. mid-60s and the highs by the afternoon actually will be cooler than this morning. we may hit the high temperatures for the day today right now. the temperatures right around 3
6:17 am
which is typically the warmest tie time of the day may be cooler because of the clouds and storm system coming in. so here's where conditions play out for the next three days thursday and residual showers for the first half and we are fine for the second half and friday we have got another system that might give us light rain as well. we will talk about that later. let's focus on the storm for today. let's go over to the traffic center now and see what the impacts of the incoming storm are having on the commute. >> reporter: so far no major hot spots out there. no advisory for 92 the san mateo bridge but there's stop and go traffic on right-hand side. brake lights is out of hayward starts right after the 880 split and off and on approaching high rise. nothing on the bridge no major problems for the peninsula. it will be 16 to 18 minutes trip from 808 to 101 if you leave now. that is good drive. this is the approach 808 south jammed from 238 to 84. that is nollal and right on time consider normal and right
