john good morning james, yeah, roadways, definitely wet because we've seen some overnight showers mother nature timing them pretty conveniently for us allowing us to have a dry days and then wet conditions while we're sleeping now what that means for early risers though it's going to be driving on those wet conditions right now your view from berkeley is pretty clear. >>cloud cover is already starting to loosen its grip over the bay area as we see the showers beginning to move out of the region for the north bay right now you are most active spot. you can see how shower activity is really diminish right on top of the bay couple sprinkles do remain around richmond up to nevado but some light showers continue for areas right around santa rosa you can see those deeper areas of green these are just those lighter bands of rainfall that are making their way across northern napa sonoma counties and then lake and mendocino counties as well further south in the bay we had been seeing shower activity in the south bay itself as well as on over to the tri valley but look at where we're sitting now those sh

, mother nature stepped in and giving us that umbrella weather for sure guys haven't had as much of it this winter as we needed so it's actually really nice to see mother nature kicking things into gear. >>maybe a little too much though over the next 24 hours we've got sunshine across the bay right now good chance to step outside for the moment and get some stuff done now later on today as when the showers do eventually arrive and we will start to see some rainfall in the mid afternoon really picks up tonight as will the winds to just the first of a slew of advisories a breakdown for you. we do have wind advisories taking effect at 07:00pm tonight, breezy us along the coast where we could see wind gusts as high as 55 miles per hour. pair that with the heavy rains that will have towards mid afternoon starting to see some light showers so you will have a wet drive home from work after 09:00pm is when the heaviest of rain pushes in and we'll stay with us through the turn of midnight on into early morning hours tomorrow, strong winds heavy rain in a short period of time we do have a

mother nature at least timing it nicely for us.e see more rainfall not going to be as heavy as last night but we will see isolated pockets of heavy rain that will push across the bay area making for slick commute to work for your thursday morning tomorrow, how much rain can we be talking here will for many areas by the time we reach tomorrow morning. we could be seeing well over an ad in an inch of additional rainfall on top of what's already saturated soils so that rain's gonna run off somewhere it will be pooling in roadways. it's also going to be making its way down small streams and burn scars in the santa cruz in diablo range is still the continued risk of some flash flooding flash flood watches right now are extended into this evening, i'll keep a close eye to see if there will be extended into tomorrow as well winter storm warnings in effect still from lake county across the northern end of the sacramento valley on over into the sierra nevada now this year in particular will offer some tricky travel, not just because of the

we do expect it to pick up just in time for mother nature to clear her throat and really come down on us so as you can clearly see all that water that's kicking up right now from the back tires of the car. take it easy out there. 2 good things at least i can pass along one it's not windy. so you don't have to be battered around as far as the winds are concerned and it's not cold because of the rainfall so it's comfortable as far as the temperatures as far as i'm concerned but not comfortable if you're driving this morning, take it easy. hydroplaning we'll be your biggest issue fortunately i did see a couple of chp cars and you usually out one obviously the look 4 accidents to just to be a deterrent just to show presence to remind people today's a day that you don't even want to go the speed limit. i was going about 55 miles per hour or so far below the speed limit. but i'm here to tell you i made it alive and hopefully people will make it to wherever you need to go alive safe and sound it's not looking good this morning right now especially with the rain picking up in intensity guys,

yes, yeah, okay, yeah, definitely exiting the picture mother nature she gave some of our earliest of risers a dose of rain and now we're looking at for the rest of the bay area is just a couple of wet spots on roadways. still a couple of sprinkles though lingering around santa rosa that all know here in a second you can see at our center tower cam some. >>fairly clear skies not a lot of low cloud cover even making that you look much misty at all this morning, let's get a look at your radar on the big wall over here because what we're going to be seeing today is increasingly dry conditions. the showers certainly are on the way out but a couple of those misty spots still do remain, especially for coast and then or hillsides of the east bay roadways are obviously wet after overnight showers so you got to contend with that and then to the north right nevado up to santa rosa and northern napa county, especially we do have some widespread light showers still continuing these really not amounting to too much this morning as we've already seen the frontal boundary cleared and now some residu
