in the northern sierra where the bulk of the water comes from, we're at 77 percent of average. we'd like to see that number a little higher. but if you take the sierra as a whole and average them out, the 90 percent is the important number because for the state as a whole we're at 90 percent of average and we've already gotten 33 percent of what we'll need by the time we get to april 1st. let's get into this forecast. beautiful night out there right now. and the temperatures will dip back down for some of us tonight into the upper 30s. santa rosa down to 36 and napa 39, fairfield 37. but everyone else in the low to mid-40s, so it's a relatively warm evening, and it will certainly be a warm day tomorrow. at least if you consider 5 to 7 degrees above average kind of warm. and don't forget it will be another beautiful blue sky day. so it will be nice one. tomorrow is mostlyway. but by the evening, this says tomorrow night at 8:00, here comes that chance of rain that i wanted to talk about. there won't be a lot to this, and most of it comes while we're sleeping overnight into satur

central sierra which includes 90% and southern sierra, 104% of normal.shock with these numbers that came out today because we had been forecasting numbers very similar to this for the past couple of weeks. all of this really is important. that snow pack, because it provides a third of the state's water supply. that's really why we track it so closely. now, very tightly linked to this, of course, is the drought and the brand-new drought report also came in today. and most of the state is drought-free, just a little bit of some abnormally dry conditions right near the oregon, also california border. as you move into tomorrow's forecast, the only thing i see is a little bit of that patchy fog as you're out and about tomorrow morning. chilly temperatures, 39 in fairfield, 41 in concord, 42 zma. back to san mateo 46, and san francisco averaging 47. as you move through the afternoon tomorrow, lots of sunshine. maybe even the short sleeves, kind of mild here for january. 66 in san jose. right over to martinez, got you at 60 degrees. up to clear lake also 60. an
