goes into effect tonight at 9 o'clock through tomorrow night. and that again is for those 20 foot breakers that are possible, especially on the west facing beaches, current conditions. well, it's pretty much cloudy. most places across the bay area. 52 degrees. now it even in san jose. they've got the clouds. so we are in for a big change compared to last week, the last week of february, it was warm, beautiful above normal conditions, even record breaking. we are not going to see that today. instead, temperatures right now 40's 50's 48 degrees in sausalito. a lot of clouds are heading in our direction already. a lot of clouds are here and you'll see an area of low pressure, some precipitation. we're not going to see a lot of precipitation. we're not going to be concerned about flooding, but we will see wave after wave a little parade of drops here. and there low pressure, then a cutoff low. it's let southern california. here comes the computer model showing us some pretty widespread rainfall today into tomorrow. so tonight rain is

likely tomorrow. it is likely and there's snow in the sierra nevada. so we're in for quite a spell. but then again, we get some dry patches as well. so it won't be a lot of rain in any one time. but again, here comes another parade. another trough coming in on wednesday. and then finally on thursday and friday, we'll start to see that trough move away, even as a ridge builds in and gives us some dry weather. so future rainfall totals are not that impressive. all right. we're looking at a few hundredths of an inch, maybe a quarter of an inch across the bay area. as we go through time. a lot more, of course, in eureka. 1.2, 4 inches. but you keep your eye on the bay area. these numbers are cumulative going through tuesday and into wednesday and into notice also some snow in the sierra nevada. so we'll see a 2 to 4 inches at the lake level. this is, of course, to 70. we need to add to some snowfall totals because we don't have enough snow pack. we have about 4.85% total snow pack. but we need to add, especially to the central and southern sierra nevada. stephanie. thank you

the california department of water resources, snow surveys and water supply forecast. a manager he helped facilitate the measurements here at the phillips station. >> for his resulte, the snow water content in this area stands at 13 and a half inches in the snow. depth stands at 34 inches. that's significant because the depth of the snow tells us how deep it well, the snow water content tells us how much water it contains water that will eventually flow to reservoirs, agricultural areas and your faucet. rising says storms over the last few weeks have made a difference. but he adds there's simply not enough. those storms in the middle of the month really did help us out. not as much as we help sum up some more warming storms. again, that, you know, it fell as rain and not snow. >> so we didn't get it as much of an accumulation as we had hoped. breaking it down by region. data from the state shows the northern sierra snowpack stands at 104% of average for this time of year. >> but the central sierra is much less at 80% in the southern sierra is even worse at 70%. that's a problem because to reach average.

>> we need to have more snow in southern and central regions. that's why he'll be carefully monitoring the coming weeks. weeks rising says will be crucial for california's snowpack. we certainly would like to see the storms that perhaps out there in the next couple weeks come to pass and >> and drop some good snow for us. anytime we get something, it's better than nothing. right. and next month, the california department of water resources will conduct what it describes as its most important snow survey of the season. the results then should give us a much better idea about where the state's snowpack stands heading into the spring. >> and summer months reporting in the sierra nevada elevation, 6800 feet 8 on wallace kron. 4 news. >> scientists are warning the trump administration is firing of hundreds of workers at noaa. the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. we'll put american lives at risk. the agency provides crucial data on weather emergencies. we are told weather service offices are already stretched thin. experts say the cuts put lives at risk from tornadoes, floods
