bodega bay, watch out for the high surf that will be running with the rather gusty winds. here is a look at the extended forecast. tomorrow, a couple isolated showers lingering, especially across the north bay. we have rain on the graphic for monday and tuesday. mainly for the northern parts of the bay area. for most of us, monday and tuesday will be dry. temperatures rebounding with 50s to near 60s. overnight lows will take a dip toward the end of the week with clear skies and lows getting down into the mid-30s. wednesday, that's another storm that bears watching. this could pack another powerful punch with strong winds and heavy rains. by thursday and friday, high pressure is rebuilding across the area. aside from some inland fog, which could be a little slow to burn off. look for plenty of afternoon sunshine with highs approaching 60 degrees. # . >>>> thank you, nick. new this morning, tsunami warnings in effect for islands off the australian coast after a magnitude 7.7 quake struck. the earthquake was shallow and may not trigger a tsunami. the warning comes one day befo

the exception bodega bay and clear lake upper 50s. east bay shore 64 oakland and fremont with the warm spot. everybody else low to mid-60s. 62 around dublin, pittsburg and walnut creek. fairfield, too. low to mid-60s monterey bay. inland 64 to 65. tonight look at the rain shield moving into the north bay. this time tomorrow that's where the rain will be falling. it will be a little warmer tonight with mid to upper 40s. possibly 50s around oakland and san francisco. high pressure held steady yesterday and will do so today even though it will be run over by some high clouds. rain will roll in with this next system. this low pretty much camped there through thursday and friday. that's why it's going to spit the energy at us that will turn to rain. 5:00 tomorrow morning, rain moving down during the commute and into the afternoon hours and become more showery nature in the afternoon. the front moves back. a warm front on thursday. that's when we'll see some more rain and into thursday afternoon. rainfall amounts at least through thursday no

maybe toward the bodega bay that darker green might be some sprinkles. you see this little area you will see it spinning. that's basically going to drop in here, then we're going to see rain on sunday. clouds keeping us warmer. it's been cold all week. been warmer since the clouds got here. got a chance of sprinkles tomorrow. don't change your plans, it's going to be just like today. sunday change your plans because i think sunday it's going to rain. i think it's going to start mid- morning, it's going to go through the afternoon. it doesn't look like it's going to be a gully washer but .25 or .5. let me just say, these bad boys have been having a bad week. they have not been picking this out because it's a tough pattern to pick out. 6:00a.m. on saturday maybe drizzle. saturday afternoon maybe some drizzle, that's why i mentioned a chance of shower, the real rain is up here. then we get into sunday and you see what happens. sunday morning starts to organize, sunday mid-morning, afternoon right there's some stuff. there's dynamics here. that's when that a

moderate to heavy rainfall through bodega bay towards santa rosa, also near the sonoma area.ore moderate to heavy rainfall near san rafael and also into mill valley. light rainfall from fairfield to vallejo and even down into danville. as we move down a little bit more, take a look. you can see most of the activity well in the north bay but san francisco looking at some light to moderate rainfall, also moving into the oakland area and some light rainfall into palo alto and milpitas and more light showers just outside of san jose just off the coastline even more rainfall moving into the bay area. and that's going to be the drill for the morning and also for the afternoon. satellite and your radar showing we got plenty of clouds coming in dumping rainfall on the bay area and that's what's going to keep us pretty rainy for the next several days. our flow will not change so the forecast will not change. morning commute, rain showers are expected. for the afternoon, expecting that rain to become more widespread. heavy at times. winds picking up gusting as high as 30 miles an hour.

some of those cells are popping off in pope valley east of napa the rain is coming down good in bodega bay cell about to come onshore. now let's lift back, we'll lose the radar data as we head down to the south bay. it's not as rainy if you are heading up 85 from san jose into mountain view but you can see just off of the peninsula half moon bay, there are some cells down here. i just talked to my dad in hollister they picked up .25" there over the past 24 hours. everybody is going to be getting wet this weekend. but don't be surprised, by the way, if at a certain point tomorrow you look up and it's not raining that much. that's what's supposed to happen. tonight things hit hard and then ease up and then more rain coming down. everybody has their eye on tuesday because with all the rain coming in under the wheelhouse of the low pressure system that's setting up in the gulf of alaska -- in fact, i want you to look at this for a minute. this is the low that's driving all this here. as you look at the end of the loop, that low is sliding slowly south. as the energy of the low gets closer to t

mainly in the north bay from petaluma sonoma, napa, bodega bay. forecast for the morning, cloudy, with showers expected. temperatures in the lower to the mid-40s. for this afternoon, a better chance of showers expected, mostly cloudy and highs in the 50s later on tonight when the heavy stuff is expected to get here. that is a look at your weather. for your traffic, here's liz. >> thank you. heavy stuff. all right. let's go out to the san mateo bridge. multi-vehicle crash right now on the other end of the bridge. caltrans illuminated their warning signs there. it's westbound 92 before the 101 interchange. three right lanes are blocked. traffic is only getting by in the left lane. ramp to northbound 101 is open. we have live pictures of the scene just getting these into our newsroom. we've photographer on the scene. we have been getting several calls from the kcbs phone force on this, as well. and kcbs airborne is telling us that traffic is jammed from at least foster city boulevard. some of our live sensors are showing speeds under 10 miles per hou

up towards bodega bay, up farther north i think we're getting a few sprinkles. but this is a nonevent basically. the five day forecast will show at's coming that's going to be on sunday when we get some rain. here's what we have right now. just lots of moisture streaming into the area. that moisture will continue to move in our direction and as we move into sunday, the dynamics this area system will combine with moisture. today clouds, tomorrow a slight chance. this deal on sunday looks like some rain. especially mid-morning sunday for most of the bay area all the way through sunday evening. so best bet on the weekend is going to be your sunday for -- our best bet for dry will be saturday. best bet for rain will be sunday. here we are sunday morning, you see it organize then sunday evening. probably snow in the mountains as well. be prepared for that. that's how it hashes out. 60s in the warm spots tomorrow. tomorrow is basically a carbon copy of what we saw today. mid-morning to about 4:00 in the afternoon. saturday looks like today. next week looks dry into th

a little more in bodega bay. that will be moving in. dry throughout the peninsu of san francisco. y dromry oaknd tola danville. a few spotty showers we've had had in the south bay over the past couple hours but mainly dry at this point and also clear conditions when it comes to rainfall. we have plenty of cloud cover overhead, though, iasth eet bay. what we're tracking for sunday for that holiday parade i eur o weekend storm. it's about 450 miles out offshore. and with this, yes, for sunday we're tracking a quarter to a half inch of rain, wind, up to 25 miles per hour, and even more sierra snow. i'll have the full timeline on this coming up later on. >> all right, jeff. thank you. now, new developments in a sexual assault case that has stunned many people in the bay area. the suspect, a 36-year-old convicted sex offender, now faces charges for another crime. this one involving a toddler. he made his first court appearance today. tonight we hear from his mother. nbc bay area's marla taez was in court today when eugene ramos made his first appearance. >> reporter: eugene ramos did no

out to the north bay, clear lake and bodega bay the upper 50s. 'll have low to mid-60s on the east bay shore with oakland and fremont around 64 degrees. low to mid-60s the east bay valleys and even around the monterey bay but as you head inland looks like around 64 or 65 degrees. around the state today light rain possible in eureka later and 56. pretty muc sunshine everywhere else. even war72 l.a. and 76 palm springs. tonight you see the rain shield moving in on the north bay. temperatures mid to upper 40s. the rest of us pretty much the upper 40s to 50 thanks to the cloud deck. that rain and cold front that's going to push it ever so slowl through the bay tomorrow. by 4:00 we're looking at light rain just about anyere. it will be light rain as the front washes out tomorrow night. it will become mor showery and widespread in nature for thursday morning. then a little area of high pressure will develop and keep the storm track to the north. the north bay will see showe if not a stray shower for the rest of us. friday's stem coming with a little mor

you'll notice from sea ranch through bodega bay and offshore, some very light showers. ed your way from the southwest to the northeast is the flow today. we'll see the scattered showers this morning and then throughout the afternoon hours so not a really big system today. but we will be looking at some windy conditions. a colder system and much more rain tomorrow. 47 in fairfield right now. some light rain. 47 redwood city with 52. half moon bay. light showers this morning. the scattered showers this afternoon and more rain tomorrow. here's a bigger perspective. you'll notice much of the activity to the east of us. we're kind of on the tail end of this system which is right here, saturday's system. sunday's system another area of low pressure wrapping up to the west of us with more heavier rain. here we are throughout the afternoon. notice the light shower activity through 7:00 today. through the overnight hours, looking at more rain but by early tomorrow we'll call it just scattered showers. not until 4:00 this the afternoon that you notice more heavier rain throughout

out to the north bay clear lake and bodega bay the upper 50s. 60s on the east bay shore with oakland and fremont around 64 degrees. low to mid-60s the east bay valleys and even around the monterey bay but as you head inland looks like around 64 or 65 degrees. around the state today light rain possible in eureka later and 56. pretty much sunshine everywhere else. even warm 72 l.a. and 76 palm springs. tonight you see the rain shield moving in on the north bay. temperatures mid to upper 40s. the rest of us pretty much the upper 40s to 50 thanks to the cloud deck. that rain and cold front that's going to push it ever so slowly through the bay tomorrow. by 4:00 we're looking at light rain just about anywhere. it will be light rain as the front washes out tomorrow night. it will become more showery and widespread in nature for thursday morning. then a little area of high pressure will develop and keep the storm track to the north. the north bay will see showers if not a stray shower for the rest of us. friday's system coming with a little more oomph t

also the rain could make it as far south bodega bay, santa cruz, calistoga and scattered lighter rainso the san pablo bay. north bay temperatures low to mid-50s. east bay shore mostly cloudy. mid to upper 50s. we'll have 58 castro valley, union city. fremont the warm spot, 59. over into the east bay valleys, mostly cloudy. a sprinkle possible as you head up towards highway 4 from concord out towards antioch. i think for the most part it will be dry. notice how much more sunshine and temperatures warmer. around the state, the snow does make it into the sierra, 46. lake level at tahoe. the warmest weather continues to be in southern california. mid-70s for l.a. and palm springs. you can see the cloud cover as temperatures once again in the 40s except fairfield and morgan hill in the upper 30s and san francisco about 50. having trouble getting this front to move any farther to the south due to the blocking areas of high pressure. so when we look at the forecast last night, you see the clouds thicken, rain stays to the north all the way through about noon and then maybe light rain developi

per hour, so take it slow the next couple of days. 55 in san ramon and up here into novato 54, bodega bay 55. morning time on the weather channel on cable and once again chance of showers friday, a chance saturday and a chance on sunday. right now for the holiday parade, it looks like the heaviest rain may hold off till the evening hours but prepare for rain if you're headed out to the san jose holiday parade. >> all right, jeff, thank you. >>> well, still ahead at 5:00, why facebook could be a divorce lawyer's biggest ally. >>> and how congress could be changing your kid's diet at school. >>> and it's official, where the first segment of california's high-speed rail project will be built. why some are calling it a train to nowhere.
