this moisture, storms actually pulling away but with the east, southeast wind, look how the moips tur is starting to -- moisture is starting to back to the north and west. looks like it will be riding in our direction. about a tenth of an inch of rain but soggy in the northern neck. freezing rain down here this morning. all of this is will be tracking off to the north and then maybe making a little bit of a turn toward southern maryland to charles, calvert, st. mary's. you have to watch out for spotty showers this afternoon. where it's 5 at -- it's 35 at pax river. the key is everybody is above freezing. wind chills, they're down in the 20s to about 30. a little bit brisk there. 38 cambridge with lighter winds. 29 in easton on the windchill. outside again on the michael & son weather camera, we've got mostly an overcast sky. 38. feeling like 30 with an east wind at 14. that easterly wind as opposed to northeasterly wind, it's cool but not as cold as the northeasterly wind. speaking of cold, they have a snowstorm. see this little spin here in western nebraska? that's moving in this dir

a lot of moisture, a lot of rainfall and we need it. i can tell you i'm looking at the month of april, looking higher than average for our rainfall possibility. so that's the great news. as you know we're 18 drought. i was in the state capitol on friday talking about that, putting together a drought special, and this probably won't take us out of the drought but if everything pans out we're talking about the potential for maybe 6 to 7 inches of rainfall up in the north bay. that's really going to come into play over the weekend. this first one not packing a lot of moyxt we time it out right now. 7:00 a.m. you can see the front draped across the north bay. pretty rich moisture for the morning commute in santa rosa. that moves south. 10:00 a.m. you're starting to get that rich moisture. san jose we'll start to get our first showers bat 10:00 a.m. then all of this throughout day. possibly bring up to 3/4 inch. let me show you a wide view here and another future cast to give you an example what's coming this weekend. there it is, the pineapple express returns. this p

tomorrow morning's commute could possibly hold a little moisture there. here is a lookr satellite radar composite. much of the energy will stay to the north. it will cool us down, and also bring us breezy conditions tomorrow. it also happened to increase that surf and swell out there. monterey bay up to 14 feet. that high surf advisory. it will swell to 14 with breakers up to 18 feet and it looks like as this storm starts to pass to the south and west of us, that's when it will start to die down. 11:00 tonight, the low clouds and fog will really get going. and by 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, more moisture. heavy mist and drizzle tomorrow morning. when we're on the backside of the gold front, the winds will pick up. we'll clear out nicely but a cooler breeze will start to settle in. upper 40s and 50s. hour highs tomorrow will come down ranging from the upper 60s to 64 in san francisco, the north bay, 66 degrees. the seven-day forecast, st. patrick's day a bit on the cool side. cool breeze and then on thursday, when spring arrives, temperatures will warm up as well back up

but look where the moisture is, way down towards the south. so extreme southern maryland, st.s county, that's where i think you have the best chance by 5:00 in the afternoon. same deal. doesn't even make it up to the washington, d.c. metro area. so we may see some drizzle, which the models will not pick up. but that's it. this is not a big storm at all. but only a little bit of ice on those roads could create some problems. that's why we have that advisory. it doesn't take much to get that advisory when you're talking about freezing rain. on friday night, just chilly. we're not talking freezing rain anymore. over towards ocean city, that's where we are on friday. saturday a great day, nice and mild. temperatures finally get back into the 50s with some sunshine. saturday is looking really good. here is the best chance. if you live in la plata, king george or fredericksburg you have the chance to see the freezing rain first and then switching over to plain rain. high temperatures tomorrow will get into the 40s for you. so, again, about a 30% chance of having some ice around your

take a look at the moisture that's streaming into southern california as dominique reported. some of this energy is going to fuel our snowstorm across the plains and the northeast. taking a look at it right now, you can see that moisture streaming in across these areas, some areas could get easily a foot of snow over the next 12 to 24 hours. current wind chills, you can see where it's bitterly cold across the upper midwest. there's our arctic front where we see the snowfall. south of that is where we have warm, unstable air. we could see severe weather. this is all going to move eastward over the next 24 to 36 hours. there is our forecast radar. a lot of moisture coming up from the gulf of mexico. an ice storm could be in the making across the ohio river valley, tennessee river valley. where you see pink is dangerous icing as we get into sunday morning into sunday evening. you can see again the potential for freezing rain and/or sleet. as we head into tuesday, certainly sunday, monday, tuesday, it could be a mid atlantic northeast storm. there is the tracking you, in the pink

i'm looking at this moisture stream.e's eureka and the bay area and extending out to the southwest and us and that treatment stream will be focused up to the north the next 24 hours. this will pay us a visit as well. for today, the next system we're expecting the rainfall to make a comeback for the late afternoon and evening commute. but rainfall totals, not -- they won't be adding up to much. here is a look with the rainfall totals out there. most areas between .10 in the inland valleys to possibly .5. north bay hills we could have amounts approaching 1 inch, the coastal hills, some more significant rainfall. here's our forecast model. we'll put it into motion, the rainfall focused up to the north, up towards santa rosa and then later on this evening especially after 6:00, the line moves to the south at 10:00 and 11:00, still pushing tlul the area. tomorrow a lot of clouds the possibility of a leftover shower, skies becoming partly cloudy into the afternoon. forecast highs in the 60s to right around 70 degrees. a lot of

moisture. here is a look at future cast for purity here is a look at the 9:00 hour we are still polydeuces studied like wine and lanes after midnight. keeping the shower to about the 4:00 hour as well. we are going to see rain after midnight. mainly dry conditions later tomorrow afternoon. >> jacqueline: as for temperatures to my money pretty mild low 50s to start the day with the sun coming out in the mid-60s with places like pleasanton and livermore and 62 in san francisco. spotty showers into tomorrow morning. dreier conditions in to the afternoon and friday and saturday as well. >> catherine: next apple said its sights on drivers.

moment we have pretty quiet weather conditions a little bit of moisture in the atmosphere provided by clouds that are part of the long stream. look at the stream of moisture and clouds reaching all the way out to sea beyond the hawaiian islands moving generally in our direction. only problem is there's not a lot of moisture in the moisture stream. just enough to bring us a little bit of rainfall. so let's start our forecast animation at 11:00 o'clock tonight at which point it's still cloudy but we don't expect any real rain to arrive until early tomorrow morning with basically drizzle down in parts of north bay around the golden gate that san francisco. could be some wet spots forth morning commute but not wide spread rainfall but by later in the day in the afternoon we see more wide spread rape in the north bay with areas of rain east and south in other parts of the bay area and more area wide for the late afternoon and evening commute but again it doesn't look like this is going to be the kind of heavy rain we need to really put a dent in our rainfall deficit so i look a little bit longer into the forecast feature few minutes w

but look at this trail of moisture.ending back towards hawaii is bringing a steady stream of moisture. another bit of help in reducing our rainfall. rain continues to move through, look at this, 5:00 in the morning start of rush hour, rain wide spread from north bay and south ward and eastward out into inland east bay. and mid day, rain moving northward. a dry afternoon. and totals perhaps as much as three quarters of an inch. and less than a tenth of an inch in the south bay. overnight tonight, showers, low temperatures on the mild side. tomorrow's highs from 60s on the coast to mid to upper 60s inland. light rain and showers give waying to sunny conditions. sunday marks beginning of daylight savings time at 2:00 a.m . so don't forget to set your clocks forward. >> here is our final oscar winner. kevin c is last of seven to win a year's worth of movie tickets. >> so congratulations to kevin and other winners. >> continuing, should e-cigarettes be treated as tobacco cigarettes? >> the campaign now underway in san franci

right now the exploratory um camera, what a great looking shot with the moisture on the lens. g los gatos. 56 for you. half moon bay with the fog in the upper 50s. a look at san jose where you can see the ominous looking clouds. maybe a quarter of an inch of rain for you. not a whole lot but there is more to come and it will last throughout the evening hours. so this front has been focused on the north bay and ahead of it has spread breezy south winds and kept the temperatures up and allowed fog around the bay. be careful out there. dicey for your saturday morning. emeryville with rain coming down and the north and east bay sliding south. so the showers for the north bay and more rain from the south bay. sierra snow with a winter storm warning through 5:00 tomorrow and sunny tomorrow. so it looks like a nice break before system number two, which is colder, and we could have a wind advisory with this system. in fact maybe an inch or two inches of rain with that system. so as this system slowly progresses southward, you'll notice that the activities, the yellows have been up in t

we're looking here, talking about the moisture in the air, yes, i know we're getting through that but the roads aren't dry and neither is the air. look at this view from emeryville. we turn it toward the bay bridge. we see the incline in the foreground and in the background we see the western span the willie l. brown portion into san francisco. can't see it because of low clouds. slick conditions, misty roadways but no problems at the toll plaza t map shows no delays, a slight slowing up the incline we typically see. there are road crews blocking one lane westbound doing work as they continue to finish everything. the roadway is done. you're okay to drive over it as you know. smoother drive into the south bay. northbound 880 at dixon landing road we sound like almost all of the cars are gone. we had a crash on the northbound side on the shoulder but the flashing lights were a distraction. sounds like almost everybody is gone from the scene so expect just that distraction. it's out of lanes and stay to the left as you pass north of 237. also an issue north 280, saratoga avenue t off ra

saturday looks good for rain up in the north bay and then for everybody. that will be a system that kind of taps into some warmer moisture. it looks like a good rainfall producer. another one monday into tuesday and maybe another one next thursday. angela says we have an event next thursday. don't cancel plans. it's still a long way out. still have lane out there, lakeport. russian river, windsor, northwest, sonoma county and kind of moving across marin county, over san pablo bay. antioch, brentwood and oakley. you also have some down a little bit, not much on the peninsula. but occasionally some of this makes its way down to monterey. it looks like things have ended there. 40s and 50s on your temperatures. temperatures haven't done anywhere all morning long. i don't expect them to. we will see some of the snow. winter storm barn warning. mostly cloudy, partly cloudy. 30s up in the mountains. 47 ukiah. 50s all the way down until you hit san francisco which is an even 60. snow level 4500 feet. it will go up on saturday and then come way down and the projection for the next system looks wet. we should say for the north bay

looks like plenty of more moisture off the coastline.f radar in the north bay now, but not much. we head throughout the morning hours and the afternoon, probably becoming a good steady rain and sagging further to the south. we've got cloudy skies with temperatures now in the 40s and 50s. as we look towards the afternoon, pretty mild in the south bay. it will take a while for rainfall to get there, so probably mid 60s. 64 in livermore and 61 in san francisco. rain becoming steady this afternoon and overnight. more showers on the way too guys. we'll let you know when. >>> a blast of winter weather elsewhere in the country causes air travel disruptions right here in the bay area. kpix 5 reporter cate cauguiran at sfo with a condition that's causing so many problems. cate? >> reporter: michelle at sfo we hear more than a dozen departures and arriving flights are cancelled out of the airport. the latest winter storm is causing a huge mess around the country. >> i'm not really looking forward to the snowstorm coming up. >> reporter: it's all t

we are looking at the subtropical moisture tap hoping to take this weak system and amp it up. you can see there is a definitive line between who is getting the rainfall and who is not. that storm activity continues to push to the south. right now tracking the widespread rain in the santa clara valley. .01 inch an hour. it is making it difficult if you are traveling in the overnight hours. the worst will be from morgan hills down to gilroy. we are beginning to clear out from alamo to livermore at this point. but looking at spotty showers near pleasanton as well. some of you clearing out and some with some rainfall. you can see temperatures cooling off in the mid-50s right now. and the other thing we are looking at is the wind. it's not very gusty. visibility hasn't been too bad just a nice soaking shower throughout most of tonight. let's time out the storm system we are tracking. you can see timing for tomorrow morning does have the bulk of this pushing out throughout 6:00 and 7:00. mainly start with areas of cloud cover across the bay. but i think we'll have enough low level m

giving you a look there at overcast skies and the subtropical moisture being pulled in with these cloudseading to a balmy start to the morning. that's definitely another story in itself. i'll have a look at those numbers coming up. first from our vantage point of storm tracker 2 you can see the moisture pushing through the bay area triggering a few scattered showers. scattered showers falling in the overnight hours, early morning. this is where the brunt of the moisture resides and this is where it's going to stick around for the entire day. it eventually sags south, and it looks like into the overnight hours we will get our best shot at getting some steady light rain. unfortunately it doesn't lack like a whole lot. keeping in mind that we need a whole lot. picking up just a few bits of green here on the screen over parts of the north bay, maybe a few scattered showers falling over the hills between sonoma, napa at this time. a little bit of drizzle out there. definitely a possibility. whatever we get won't be long lasting and it will be far and in between. we've got cloudy skies at this

looks like some of that will be heavy at times especially as you make your way a little bit further north this morning but all this moistures going to start sliding to the south. look at the yellows and oranges some heavier rainfall there. also in toward fairfield, vallejo, you're seeing a strong storm system but along the coastline now we are beginning to see some showers and pockets of heavier rainfall making their way in toward half moon bay and the peninsula. so yeah, we could see some heavy rainfall even the possibility of some thunderstorms this morning. out the door we go, we have cloudy skies and temperatures now in the 40s and the 50s. that rain will be

radar off the coast this is a good indication that we'll start to see drizzle very soon and look how far this moisture plume spins all the way down to hawaii so the system really going to continue to move on through with the cloud cover but i don't think it will be a huge soaker. just because you can see the path of the system really headed to the north so we're going to get clipped by this system. in fact, your timeline does show dry conditions through the night tonight but that rain arriving as early as 6:00 tomorrow in the morning in the north bay but i do think it will be a consistent drizzle nothing heavy at this point. we'll time out the rain for your neighborhood coming up in just a little bit. back to you. >> anthony, thanks a lot. >>> in oakland a man is dead after a fire swept through his apartment this morning. oakland firefighters say the residential fire broke out on santa clara avenue north of make merritt at 2:00 a.m., investigators say the fire may have started in the kitchen but they're still trying to figure out the exact cause. >>> today for the very first time we're getting a first

look at satellite. water vapor showing you plenty of moisture overhead. this ahead of the next system that will bring us rain in time for your saturday. i will give you a look here. there is the center of the circulation. there is the front moving into northern california over the course of today. and again likely to hold off for the most part until the overnight hours for the bay area. let me show you here. picking it up we are mostly cloudy over the north bay. a little bit of light drizzle. most of us will be partly cloudily, mostly dry. there is the shower activity you can see over northern california. by 4:00 in the afternoon it's now maybe heading into areas like ukiah, north bay you remain mostly cloudy. as we get into the overnight hours, the rain begins to fall over the north bay and then it begins to shift south. by 7:00 it's over the central bay. by 9:00, 10:00 it's over the south bay. so we are all getting wet. lots of moderate to steady rain. is and for the afternoon light rain and scattered showers for here into sunset. we can still see we hav

look at doppler 9000. a couple of features i want to point out. moisture coming off the atlantic. oving almost west. look at all the rain in north carolina. it's generally light. see how it's expanding and moving toward the north, northwest and making a turn toward the north, north east as it gets in our neck of the woods. going on doppler 9000, you can follow the light sprinkles that are moving across the area. we've seen a few fresher showers if you will develop in delaware and just in toward northeast calvert county now into the bay pulling away. temps, that's the other piece of the puzzle this morning. they're cold but most, almost all are still above freezing with 34 for winchester and 36 in luray. 34 andrews. in d.c. we're 38. we talked about elevation. bull run mountain is 30 degrees. that would be the little bit of concern that if there's any drizzle or a couple of sprinkles before they get above freezing, that's where we could have glazing. 35 alexandria. rockville 34 with annapolis at 36 along with alexandria. lots of clouds showing up on our michael & son weather camera.

some of this moisture will come across the dc metro area, but i think most of the sprinkles and showers will stay well north of the beltway for the overnight hours. here's how we're lookingght's temperatures will slide out of the 40s, into the 30s. everybody, though, for the most part stays above freezing as we get to the early morning hours. with the moisture close to us, some of that cool air could give us a few flurries early in the morning, but most of us will be in the clear. tonight, we're down into the 30s. we're starting off on the chilly side, if you're heading out for sunday services. also, don't forget to adjust your clock tonight as we spring forward. future cast does offer a little bit of a pop mainly after midnight, mainly north of the beltway and then into the early morning hours. we start out with cloud cover, but look at tomorrow afternoon. plenty of sunshine all around, although the northerly winds will hold temperatures down a little bit, still looking at a pretty decent day. tomorrow's high should make it around 50 degrees for most of us. 40s off towards the north. next stretch looks pretty good. green weather alert for the next three days. we're defi

here's the piece of good news, though, it is moisture-starved. we're not lookingout of this, but the bulk of it will be rain as it makes its way across. what are we looking at? behind the low, cold and windy conditions, but ahead of it, a warm front, so milder conditions, not the big type of storm we have been seeing, unless you're farther to the north. that's where you'll see heavier snow, parts of minnesota, wisconsin, but generally, everyone else just looking for light rain, cruising in tomorrow night into the day thereafter. john? >> wisconsin will be snowed in while you're watching the badgers play in the tournament. you'll be okay, though. >> all right. >> thank you, indra. >>> we have breaking news on the search for missing flight 370. the search has intensified. we are expecting a news conference, a briefing from the leaders of this investigation just minutes from now. what will they say? what have been the developments over the course of this day? we'll take you there live next.
