we have talked about this all week, in the southern ohio and mississippi valley there are severe weather outbreaks right now. we have had numerous tornadoes. those red boxes are tornado watch boxes. this is a real problem. atlanta right now getting heavy rain. flight delays are assured, especially if you are traveling east of the ohio and mississippi valley. the tornado threat stays in effect for the next few hours. even with the sun setting, the dynamics are strong enough that we are seeing severe weather. this is unusual to see tornado outbreaks this time of the year. here is our next weather system that is coming in from the north, it is going to drop snow and rain. right now the models have backed off quite a bit on its frame production. i think the rain production will be down a quarter of an inch to a half of an inch at best. temperatures outside or in the mid-50s. here we go in san francisco, we have rain on the morning commute, a chilly rain. we talked about how warm air holds a lot of water in those last couple of storms. this next storm is a cooler storm and not as much rain ex

their big concern for the next couple days out in the southern ohio and mississippi valleys will be for severe weather. not snow. there will be snow and ice in the northern regions but really the severe weather meaning possible tornados. for us we've got most of the clouds passing by the area south and east of us here. snow showers or at this point you saw in the passes rain showers falling up in the mountains. winter storm warnings down but it goes back up with the colder storm that comes in here thursday to friday morning. afternoon commute, nothing like it was yesterday. that was nasty. current temperatures are mostly in the low 50s. we're seeing upper 40s out there. overnight lows will be in the mid-low 40s. it's going to be chilly because we're getting clearing. we could easily see some fog. so tomorrow morning in san jose, starts out nice. there's your cloud cover. 50 degrees or so. by lunchtime it's partly cloudy, partly sunny. late in the day you might see a few more clouds show up in san jose. as these clouds built from the north that brings the rain in on wednesday night in to

little disturbance coming through southern ohio right now. those rain showers stay to the south and west today. high pressure for the most part, still dominates our forecast for the next several days, that's why we will be dry, with mild temperatures, every now and then, batch of clouds will roll on through but overall looking pretty sunny throughout the day today. temperatures respond nicely, to the sun, mid 50's, for afternoon temperatures, it does get cool again tonight with few clouds around, we drop them to the mid 30's around the the city colder in the suburbs, then tomorrow again little hit in the temperatures, but this time of year really not bad. here is the trend, jet stream still over us, so we have hits of cooler air, nothing cold, but then watch what happens by the end of the week. the jet really moves north, so we get good surge of milder air. that's why we are talking near 06. today 54 degrees, tonight, chilly, few clouds, 36 degrees. here is that extended forecast, no big storm systems, coolest days tuesday, at 50, look at tha
