you can see a couple of scattered showers passing through but not much. toward the afternoon maybe breaking things up a little bit but looking toward tomorrow, i think a more impressive storm system rolls into the bay area to bring a better chance of rain. the temperatures going to stay cool again only in the 50s into much of the south bay. 40s over the mountains and in the east bay. 53 in oakland, 53 in san francisco, and 52 for a high in santa rosa. next couple of days unsettled with showers every day through the weekend although i think the better part of sunday should be dry at least into the afternoon. a stronger colder storm moves in on monday and tuesday. the snow levels are going to be running very low staying unsettled well into next week. you're loving it aren't you, elizabeth? >> that's a dreary seven-day forecast. thanks, lawrence. >>> outside right now, it's dry for the most part as lawrence just mentioned so just your overnight roadwork really out there no big hot spots. it is a friday so overall "friday light." that is a live look right now
