pretty interesting because you've got widespread and at times heavy rainfall from mendocino and humboldtounties to our north reaching northern sonoma county with a well-formed line of showers pushing further south into the afternoon and just breaking apart as it crosses the golden gate. so parts of the north bay will be getting a healthy dose of rainfall while the peninsula, the south bay and much of the east bay could be checking in with just some cloudier conditions and really no noticeable precipitation. novato you can see up to a quarter of an inch of rain today napa and santa rosa closer to a 10th of an inch of rain while san francisco in concord right on the cusp of it may just see a sprinkle or 2 everywhere else in the bay area looking to remain dry. well through the day today so very different story from the south bay to the north as for your forecast this afternoon as for temperatures. there's also going to be a difference. the coast in the north they will be some of our cooler areas only in the 50's well, generally the southern end of the peninsula, the south bay and the southe

showers stay to our north though up into mendocino and humboldt counties right along the north coast, not drifting into the bay area will just get that cloud cover from these weak systems passing to our north. so tomorrow and wednesday are cloudier days and then after that our warmest of days to close out the upcoming week as for temperatures you're seeing a lot of 50's on the map today, a range of upper 50's to low 60's for daytime highs palo alto mountain view up to san mateo all in the low 60's today. now today, even though a nice and cool one will actually be the least warm one of this forecast ahead of us. daytime highs are already just a touch above our seasonal averages so that tells you where we're heading daytime highs are going to be even more so above average in close to record breaking by thursday and friday. petaluma at 60 while upper 50's in mill valley sandra fell in nevado today and tomorrow are cooler ones the forecast after this it's upper 60's to low 70's for really the rest of the forecast starting wednesday and lasting into the upcoming weekend with thursday and f

storm track heavy right up in the pacific northwest, maybe some rain up toward the eureka toward humboldtssentially dry into the weekend and into early next week. here's this. satellite as we show you where the system from last night into this morning as we kind of go back here, we're showing you the radar looks looks pretty impressive at one point, and then by the time the system gets here, it just really fizzles out. so for us, we of course, we had some scattered rain across parts of the bay area, not everywhere. and right now we're looking for the rain with the light, dr sweets and not much to show you for tonight. now, we will have some fog reform as we head into the overnight hours, especially out toward the inland valleys, especially out towards the delta. hurt numbers out there starting to cool off a bit of a chill in the air and definitely want a bundle up tomorrow morning. we'll have some patchy frost in some the inland valleys right now we're talking about this, um, fifties already, so here is a set up. there's actu. on the satellite. a very nice system out here in the pacific.

this is kind of how the states setting up right now the state's dry basically from humboldt county, southwell sonoma, at least northern sonoma county, south and dry and warm. los angeles tomorrow is going to go. 84 degrees san diego 80 degrees there. five. danger comes up a swell our fire. danger comes up a little bit, but we'll keep an eye on it for now, because you just don't want to have any kind of wind event. looks like we might see some windows. we get in towards their early part of next week, so there's a high pressure right there, and you can see what it's still in its setting itself up. it's just gonna bulge to the north, and this high is interesting people at the pacific high and mentioned it all the time because. um it determines that the economy of the state it determines societies, the social settings in the state at the high pressure when it goes up, we're dry. we're in drought. we could have fire when it goes down. we're wet. we have floods. it's very everything that happens in the state of california is tied to that pacific high and right now what it's doing. going out. it's d

but that high just keeping that moisture focused further to the north that means areas like humboldtnd mendocino counties get the rainfall but the bay area staying dry today into tomorrow, although we're certainly seeing a decent amount of cloud cover as a result of that atmospheric river that situated just too far to the north. here's tomorrow morning right here rainfall again just pushes right along the north coast couple of those sprinkles right along the sonoma and marin county coastlines that's about the only potential of rain any part of the bay area will be looking at thursday we look at skies clearing right up and we'll be in for a treat into the weekend with temperatures climbing into the upper 60's to low 70's. today we're back into familiar territory, though with the upper 50's to low 60's hanging on for yet another day this changes into tomorrow as temperatures start to rise after that thursday friday and saturday will be the warmest of this forecast hovering right around the 70 degree mark and that's warm enough to get close to record breaking if not break some temperatu

even up in northern california have toward humboldt county. we will have some scatt.round here as we head into a thursday night in early friday, and then essentially as you do work your way closer to monterey bay, maybe trace him out through a couple 117th work could be dry. so that's kind of the headline once again. we still have the stormy weather up to our north of the weekend and into next week. here is the radar image remember earlier today? with that up front approaching the region, indicating that lisa moderates and steady rainfall up in the sonoma county and as advertised the system just kind of falling apart over the heart of the bay area, so right now, some clouds, we still have the possibility of a lingering sprinkle or light shower. and here is our life camera looking at above san francisco this afternoon where we had temperature is mainly in the fifties and the sixties for the four o'clock hours. so as you know, it has been cool enough quickly by the for the evening hours, and that'll be the case once again as we head night. we always like to watch, espec

of our northern neighbors are getting at with showers expected tomorrow in mendocino d-north say humboldtast of the state. the area just not tapping into that moisture we will be getting the cloud cover from this passing system which will make for increasingly cloudy skies will tuesday and wednesday after today's afternoon sunshine. today's daytime highs will be pretty typical from what we've been seeing lately at least with upper 50's to low 60's returning across the bay area. now even though we're already above average as far as temperatures go we're only getting warmer from here so that tells you what direction we're heading by the end of the week, i'm actually going to be talking some temperatures that will be close if not record breaking. today though it's upper 50's to low 60's which as i mentioned is not been super unfamiliar to us just yet we've been holding on to numbers like this for a while, tomorrow's temperatures don't change much to today she will have that increasing cloud cover though that will stay with us into wednesday. wednesday thursday friday and even into the weeken

it's still bull's eye little bit further to the north with the heaviest of rainfall up in mendocino humboldt as well as calusa and lake counties but the u.s. in the bay area are about to dip into this moisture plume here just later on this morning. so far this morning, it's been some lighter stuff but enough to get roadways wet. the peninsula's looking at some light rain right now as you are right across the bay on 92 right there some of our bridges wet which is what rain we'll talk about in a second and the marine county also looking at some light showers are heaviest stuff right now is there at the top of the screen up in northern napa county where we are seeing some moderate rainfall at the moment so these lines of showers will be passing through over the next few hours then comes the real stuff after 08:00am heavier rainfall settles into the north bay moves further south and by noontime will have seen some of our heaviest of rain even a few rules of thunder and their winds around this time gusting as high as 20 to 30 miles per hour. so there's that few hours in there where you just want
