pacific northwest. it's part of hurricane oho north and east of the hawaiian island chain.t's still a category 2 hurricane. it's well offshore from california and it is well offshore from hawaii. it's 850 miles northeast of hilo on the big island so it's not going to hit the big island except for some surf. but even by thursday at 8:00 when it gets downgraded to a tropical storm it's still going to be basically at the same latitude as san francisco which is -- it's -- it's almost practically unheard of at this time of the year that a tropical storm remains together that long. now, again, even at this point we are not going to see anything from it. but the moisture stream is carrying all these clouds up into the pacific northwest. certainly could affect them and far northern california and it's just flat-out weird. and you can see that -- all that moisture the high is blocking that tropical moisture from coming our way so far. the wind hanging over the desert southwest. we'll have fair skies and warm temperatures and to sum it up numbers approach 90 by the weekend but no rai

north bay starting at 48 degrees. the east bay 54. and the south bay expecting 55. now let's get you out to the pacific. we are tracking some changes. check out the storm system 1,500 miles offshore. definitely looks potent. now the most, you know, heaviest rainfall portion with this will be heading off to the north, but it still looks like we could get at least a small portion of that storm system heading our way. so let's go ahead and take a look at the forecast and see what we can expect. tomorrow, no rainfall for us. filtered sunshine. high clouds on the increase. then we can expect low 80s inland. it's not going to be until sunday's forecast that we start to see this system drop down from the north. not a big storm. really breaks apart before it gets here. it looks like marin, napa, sonoma counties will be the best chance of maybe picking up a few sprinkles. only talking about trace amounts. likely see nothing as far south as san jose. it's not a big deal on sunday but if you feel a few drops, look up toward the sky, again, it is likely a spotty shower. we'll talk more about a better chance here coming up. let's get you into th

north bay, and also the east bay. you can see right now, very impressive stream of subtropical moisture that stretches some 740 miles out in the pacific, and it's that long reach of subtropical moisture that will continue to keep some of this energy going, we think into thursday's forecast. so i want to take you right now to the scanning doppler radar. there's not too much left tonight. i think the radar is underdoing it a little bit. we have a lot of low level moisture. even areas of drizzle will continue throughout the peninsula and the north bay. when it comes to accumulating rainfall right now, it's very light in nature, but it's primarily here through contra costa and alameda county, also sunol and livermore and the 580 corridor, and right over toward san ramon, dublin, and getting close to danville and alamo. spotty showers continuing tonight, and then once again, we'll see another wave here of activity for tomorrow morning. so as we take you into the morning forecast for thursday, you can see all areas will begin off cool. with 54 in the north bay. san francisco at 60. peninsula, 57. and once again, possibly some drops down to

the north and east and bringing some windier conditions over into hokkaido in the northern portions of japan. so look out for that. meanwhile, further down toward the south and also over the pacific, we are watching out for a couple areas of tropical depression system moving toward the west. not expected to intensify in the next 48 hours, but we will keep an eye on these areas as heavier bands of rain will be associated with them. looking at 20s in tokyo as we go throughout wednesday. hope you have a good day wherever you are. here's your extended outlook. >>> that wraps up this edition of "newsline." we'll be back with more news at the top of the hour. thanks very much for joining us. ñ anchor: hello and welcome to " live from paris." it is 1:00 in the french capital. let's look at headlines this hour. withice officer is stabbed the attacker killed as a result. it comes amid a recent wave of israeli-palestinian violence as tensions continue to rise over access to a holy site favored ideas and muslims. turkey continues to pound kurdish militant

north and east over the next few days and inject enough moisture into the atmosphere to have an affect on our weather by midweek. let's revisit what is left of patricia in retrospect it was the strongest pacific hurricane on record and it developed like gangbusters from out of nowhere to the strongest hurricane on record in time at all. it came ashore with maximum gulf of 211 miles an hour unverified number but nevertheless impressive and yet no sooner did it come onshore it was downgraded to a remnant low within just 21 hours. so it blew up big time and it deflated in no time once it hit the rugged terrain of mexico. here it is tonight. unwinding over louisiana where new orleans is reporting showers and thundershowers. but it's on the other side of the country the west coast where for the next counsel of days we're going to have sunny and mild weather with high pressure off the west court yet by wednesday with low pressure developing off the pacific northwest remember olave some of the moisture gets swept in the low in the bay area we get a chance of rain by wednesday. stay tuned. meantime tomorrow looks good. we'll have low clouds coming in along the shore line but in janay nice sunny day l

into the next severals, we're watching the pacific because a weakening hurricane is out there and it is continuing to move off towards the north and east. it brings some rain to the northwest, but stays away from the bay area into next week another area of low pressure moving in from the south, hopefully that will bring us some rain because it does look like we're going to get anything from hurricane oho at this point. look thath columbus day weekend forecast. pretty warm. especially inland. san francisco, though, does stay in the 70s. making it up to 75 degrees on monday and some upper 80s in the north bay on monday. tri-valley up to 91 degree. so, warm weather not going anywhere arkts leat least for n. mike has an eye on a lot of things going on. >> east bay an issue. a lot of slowing. the big view and no surprises for the south bay and peninsula and slow coming in to livermore out of the altamont pass. southbound 880 we have two lanes blocked. the first incident called in by our friend lisa over here at the station as she passed through the area and more slowing down to two lanes reported blocked as crews arrive on the scene. that's
