6:20 pm
here there's tsunami warnings in such in there area and such. we're watching closely to see if anything gets triggered for hawaii because that would be a trigger for us. maybe we can see something in the west coast. when i say triggered, tsunami watch center will issue a tsunami watch but we have not seen that yet. so here's how it breaks down for us. we have some showers moving through the forecast tomorrow. as they do -- not tomorrow on thursday. as they do the clouds will begin to increase. tomorrow is your okay day. we start off with clouds and low clouds. more sunshine tomorrow wednesday than we had today. then we get into thursday and the clouds increase. they thicken up. we get a chance for showers. but we will get showers. but that does not make rainfall season there. .05 to 2.5 and .25. that's optimistic. i think most of us will see .1 to .50 of an inch as this system lumbers through very
6:21 pm
quickly. here's how this computer system sees it. tomorrow is a nice day. a little fog in the valley. here comes thursday morning commute. 7:00a.m. thursday morning. you got wet roadways. it's in the south bay at :00 a.m. then it moves on. you can tell how widely scattered, it should be a strong rain producer in terms of inches of rain but more like .00 of inches of rain. this is a cold system and that's why we're getting these sort of sparse rainfall. this is the lowest it can get. snow is going to be down there in the western area. snow accumulations they get three or four inches. that will be for them. the forecast for highs a little warmer than today. tomorrow is going to be a nice day. then sunday or not sunday. then on thursday. >> wishful thinking. >> i'm thinking about the tsunami weather center. if they trigger something in
6:22 pm

6:26 pm
although those are the reports that are coming out. a command posthas been set up by the sonoma county sheriff's department. and investigators are here at the scene. flood lights are shut off because it is now dark. my understanding is the location the shooting took place, the reported shootings took place is about 100-yard beyond the crime tape where we are. there's a second house out of our view here at the driveway that is apparently down a hill and surrounded by some rather dense vegetation. and that is where crime scene investigators are working right now. gathering evidence and presumably taking pictures and trying to if i can -- trying to figure out exactly what happened here. in addition to having little information ability victims we know nothing at all about suspects. we're going to remain here and gather as much information as we can. once we have something we will pass it along at 7:00 and tonight on the 10:00.

6:28 pm
& r. i think our players, our coaches have spent everything they have at this point. and a couple of weeks to recharge the battery. but also thinking, thinking while we're doing that on how to get an edge. everybody is going to want to have a lens to look at this season or look at this last game or the final plays of the game. but, our lens really has to be, it's the toughest one to look through is how can, how can i improve? >> that's going to take some time. here's some rough video for 49er fans to look at. this was supposed to be on market street in san francisco. the super bowl parade but instead it's back in baltimore. as the ravens celebrate their super bowl. hard fought victory and you have to say deserved victory for them and there is the lombardy trophy making it through some of the fans. this is just tough video for 49er fans and i'm sure the
6:29 pm
