let's get to abc7 news meteorologist sandhya patel. sandhya? yeah. ama and dan. most people had a chance to dry out today, which is exactly what we needed down south. take a look at live doppler seven. right now it is still raining down there. water logged southern california. some parts have picked up over a foot of rain in just the last couple of days, with a lot of damage as you just saw. now locally, as we look at live doppler seven, we are seeing just some isolated showers right now as we take you into street level radar right around livermore or patterson pass road. so don't be surprised if you do run into a shower or two tonight. look at this beautiful view from zephyr cove. snow capped mountains. this is really just a lovely sight. and the sierra snowpack has gone up to 75. so 2 to 15in of snow in the last 24 hours. just last week it was half of where it should be. so making some big gains there after the weekend. storm 50s right now 46 at clear lake. yeah, it's definitely chilly out there from our san jose camera, seeing a beautiful view of the sun getti

for the details, let's go to abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel. sandhya. yeah. >> and ama and dan, let's take a look at live doppler seven. right now we have a level two storm that we are tracking. it does have a weak atmospheric river moving in tomorrow that moisture plume extending all the way back towards hawaii. a second storm right behind it that gets in here sunday afternoon into monday. so timing out the first system at 8:00 tomorrow morning. rain begins to move in. it becomes moderate by 11 a.m. in pockets and then intensifies and heavier rain by 3 p.m. you will notice across the region, along with stronger winds, a flood watch has already been issued for sunday morning into wednesday morning as flooding is possible on streams, creeks and roadways, and the concern is the cumulative effect as one storm after another saturates the ground. a high surf advisory goes up. tomorrow. it runs until sunday, and that is because breakers will be up to 28ft in favored locations. level two on our storm impact scale. rain downpours in the afternoon for tomorrow.

first in a series of rainy days ahead for the details, let's get to abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel. >> sandhya. yeah. >> and dan and what we're basically looking at is the wet weather just beginning. it is going to continue for about a week. let's talk about live doppler seven and where the rain is right now. we are seeing some pockets of moderate rain falling in san francisco. as we get you into street level radar mission street heading down towards pacifica, highway 101. highway one skews me as we go and track that cell. it's heading towards brisbane at 516 509 into south city, so be careful. there may be some downpours where you are from the north bay and san rafael where there are light showers, to san pablo. richmond where we're seeing some moderate showers and heading down towards the south bay and the santa cruz mountains. we do have some light to moderate rain. it is a level one on our exclusive abc seven news storm impact scale. some lightning showing up over northern california. and as we time it out for you tonight, we're still going to see some downpours. six 7:00 tonig
