oakland, 65. for the peninsula, sunny skies returning to bell monday. san francisco on the cool side. 62 along the embarcadero. in the north bay, 66 in mill valley, colder 59 in point reyes. and napa, our milder temperature. the most recent dry weather, there has been a lot of interest in, are our rain chances completely done? it does not appear that way when you look at how things specifically unfold. we're in march, of course. san francisco averages 3.27 inches of rainfall. we won't see it winding down until we hit june. and chances will begin to taper off. on the extended forecast, the most important thing to know is by saturday, sunday, monday, we'll have scattered rainfall chances. the norm storm developing is by next tuesday. we'll go for an average high of 77 degrees on friday, down to 61 next tuesday as that storm system arrives. we may have to ramp up the rainfall totals more for next week. right now it looks like good chance of rain next tuesday. >>> hundreds of twitter accounts hacked. it's just a date. i can stay. i'm good. i won't be late hey mom. yeah. no kissing on the first date, alright? life

. >> you can see the bright lights of the embarcadero, you can see the bay bridge and the port of oakland and the estuary. you can see all that in san francisco. in santa rosa the visibility is down to a quarter mile in some areas due to fog. otherwise, livermore clear skies in the 40s. redwood city also in the 40s. san jose 47 degrees. 50s around the rim of the bay. here's what you need to know. first off look at the sky. we will see increasing clouds during the afternoon hours. i want to call it partly sunny later. but we have the luck of the irish. temperatures at least a good five degrees warmer than yesterday. and then cloudy and cooler this weekend with the slight chance of a north bay shower. anything we see will be generally a few hundredths of an inch. next week rain in the bay area. do you see that clear slot? that's what we're experiencing this morning. but all these clouds to the north and to the west are rushing into the bay area. and they will overwhelm our ridge of high pressure. so that's why we refer to it as partly sunny later today. the big time changes over the weekend

oakland, 65 degrees. for the peninsula, 66 in san mateo. san francisco, 65 and the mission also close to that in the embarcadero with 66. 67 in mill valley and 71 in napa. let's get you to the extended forecast. and, again, we do have changes that include rainfall as we head throughout the next seven days. a spotty chance of a shower for tomorrow night. as we head throughout thursday and friday, it's dry, most of saturday is dry. then we could see a shower develop by 10:00 p.m. on saturday. that, after saturday will t continue the chance for spotty showers on sunday and monday. the big change in the forecast is by next tuesday we could have a strong earn stoer storm develh a half inch possible. we may need to raise that. but for now it looks pretty good that we could see a decent storm system coming our way, we're dropping down to 70 for tomorrow, and the chance for spotty showers developing once we hit sunday, monday, and then that incoming storm system by next tuesday. so next tuesday is the day to watch out for, for possibly that accumulating rainfall across the bay area. so next tuesday is the big umbrella day for all of you. >> she didn

embarcadero. past the bay bridge all the way to the port of oakland.creasing cloud cover over the mount vaca area, that's what it looks like there. isn't that glorious? increasing clouds as the morning wears. temperatures in the 30s in santa rosa redwood city, also in livermore. otherwise 40s the closer you are to the bay of water. san jose now sporting 43 degrees. here's what you need to know for this friday. friday the month of march. increasing cloud cover throughout the day. it will be mostly cloudy by your evening commute. scattered showers this weekend. and then it's going to pan out to be warmer next week. here's the deal. high pressure big blocking ridge provided us with 72 degrees that warmer air mass yesterday in the santa cruz area. 70 in sonoma. 70 gilroy. well, that's history. it's beginning to break down due to the area of low pressure that is diving out of the gulf of alaska. so that tells you it has a lot of cooler air. it will be a cooler weekend. cloud cover continues to thicken as the day wears on. there's your evening commute. here

embarcadero, we're looking out towards the bay bridge. you can see treasure island and also yerba buena island. and the port of oakland. here's a view of the beach and you can see people are just frolicking on the beach this afternoon. boy, wouldn't it be lovely to be there this afternoon or anytime this weekend? we are in the 60s. look at that santa rosa now at 69 degrees. 67 apiece in oakland and in san jose. san francisco at 64. our weather watcher charlie says it's 69 in vallejo and says, boy, spring has sprung and the weeds are growing. and you're spot on there, charlie. thanks for checking in. our pollen report suggests that the alder, juniper and the poplar all on the medium to high side but if you have allergies, make sure you are prepared for the weekend because those counts are going to be off the charts. today, stunning, tomorrow same. this weekend the warmest weekend so far this year. sure, we have a few high, thin clouds that will undercut the ridge of high pressure. you will see them on the horizon from time to time. but this huge dome of high pressure is strengthening diverting the storm track well to th

oakland and back here for livermore, 62. on the peninsula, 62 also, palo alto and mostly cloudy. san francisco, 54, along the embarcadero for the marina. and up here for the north bay, 60 in mill valley. maybe you have a three-day weekend coming your way you're heading up to napa, it will be 65 degrees. let's take you to the weekend rain chance. storm system will drop down from the north. a colder storm, also lacking a lot less moisture than our flooding january and february storm. so, here's the deal. saturday morning nothing in terms of heavy rainfall. but some scattered activity mainly for the north bay at 8:30. as we head into 2:30 in the afternoon on saturday, mainly the north bay for accumulation. so, i think you're good down in the south bay. and most of the east bay for any plans at least for the first part of saturday. then bif the evening hours we get more consistent rainfall dropping down to san jose at 9:00 p.m. and i think the evening on saturday into sunday morning, that's going to be our zone to pickup our accumulations. rainfall totals, a lot of this mass you'll see is in the green shaded color. that's g
