and over the weekend, yet another system coming in, gives us a much better chance. at least base the on all of the models of picking up decent rain this weekend. maybe a shower or thunderstorm, late side night. and a chance of maybe steady rain, on sunday. because one of the things we hope will happen is this low moves away. not giving us much in the way of rain. but the next system looks like low pressure will kind of slow down as it approaches us on saturday night and sunday. and that could give us some nice, lingering, well-needed rain in the region. maybe even an inch or more possible, possible, this weekend. and that would certainly help our dry situation. winds on the bay tomorrow, north. eventually turning around to the south. gusting up to 20 knots. and small craft advisory. in the morning on wednesday, bay temp, around 57, with increasing clouds. tonight, partly to mostly cloudy later on. upper 40s. pretty pleasant tomorrow.
