steve paulson tracking the storm this morning. >> absolutely.king pretty good right off san mateo coast. this is still a little bit aways but this is more moderate rain. light rain is moving in. the breeze picked up southeast winds. so we have a general area of light rain some areas are light and there is not much here. a couple reports from san jose. our good buddy john says it's raining down here. we had reports from oakley and brent wood and antioch. nothing too heavy. 50s on the temps. mild system in fact. 56 in glen park and also in the mission. right there is that line. this looks a little better later today. later this morning and early this afternoon i like that. possibility of thundershowers with that later on. over all rainfall amounts a half inch for some to maybe two to three santa cruz mountains. that looks to be the better opportunity. so rain and wind on the way. the breeze is picking up in the higher elevations and i expect that to pick up later on. friday's system looks a little windier. 50s and 60s for your temps today. here is

let's go to steve paulson first. let's check the forecast. >> thank you, dave. for some, very heavy san jose south, santa clara valley. this storm definitely did its job, about a half inch to 1 1/4, inch and a half for some. but the next system to the left of your screen, that's going to bring in some heavy rain starting in the north bay friday night and everybody over the weekend. definitely some breaks. this system is moving pretty fast, but it's going to be a cool, kind of foggy day. still light rain around. heavier amounts have been to the south. larksburg 1 1/4 inches. outer richmond, that's, chris -- scott, excuse me,.80 and sfo has had.68. lot of reports about half inch to inch quarter as we said. in this recent pattern this is the second one, bigger one, though, comes in for the north bay starting tomorrow night, and i'll tell ya, some of the projections coming in, i've seen four to eight. this is a much warmer system. it'll be plowing in and just taking direct aim at parts of the north bay and also the santa cruz mountains. so it will not just favor one

steve paulson looking for anymore rain out there? >> i'm always looking pam cook. i am looking. it may be up to the north. it will be late tonight, tomorrow morning. for us a lot of high clouds all stream over the north bay. there are patches of fog. too much cloud cover. although most locations say cloudy to mostly cloudy. it is a high thin cloud deck. lots of high clouds will be with us. this may dip a little bit south. and i don't think it will be too much. it will be less than a tenth of an inch of rain. 40s on the temps or very, very low 50s. a lot of high clouds but to the south it will be mostly sunny. the system though goes all the way down to the hawaiian islands. tapping into moisture. it's taking aim where there will be copious amounts of rain. fog, sun, clouds. mostly cloudy, north bay. mostly sunny south bay. so a mix between. temperatures 50s to low top -- low to mid 60s. >>> police car was involved in a car crash and apparently was a result of some sort of police activity. this ended up on lone tree way near davidson which is somewhere near the freeway. police car

steve paulson says that over a four day stretch, this area saw nearly a foot of rain and on top of the mountain, 20-inches. quite a dusting. behind me here, we have roadway flooding, this is right in front of the high school off miller avenue, unslain blocked off, and it's not well-lit here, cars are slamming on their breaks a they approach the caution sign. definite latrobe slow down today even though it's not raining. yesterday a 60-foot landslide chanced from the road above into the backyard of this home and crashed into a newly built studio, firefighters shored up the five to keep it from moving even more. meanwhile, the storm may have contributed to a deadly car crash yesterday morning, a jeep plunging 50 feet down an embankment, driver found dead by rescue teams. they are concerned about mud slides every time there's a downpour. >> the hill never took that much water before, and the first time it did, it all gave way. and they redid the road about a year and a half ago and it hasn't rained since really, substantially, so nobody realized that they changed the pitch. >> reporter: t

the man with the forecast is steve paulson. >>> could you work from home, sal?> i would if i could. >> i would too. we have a lot of cloud cover over us. rain is beginning to pick up on the north coast. as we head toward even late morning or early afternoon, things are definitely on the way. things are already beginning to show up on radar. i know in the north coast it is beginning. this is very light. you see the light green that is not much. but it's coming up from the hawaiian islands. so it is a warm source. we've had pretty good rain as you know yesterday. and everything now is set for what looks to billion too much rain. cloudy, light rain heaviest to the north. saturday looks like an all day rainer with another impulse coming in on sunday. steady to heavy rain. i'm sure there will be urban and small stream flood advisories by the national weather service in monterey. rainfall projections are not that big today and they get almost too much as we head into the weekend. we are looking five to six inches of rain in santa rosa by sunday afternoon. you know and

let's check in with steve paulson. >> a few 30s. 38, 39. most locations in the 40s to near 50. clear. it will be a beautiful day. already sun coming up and it will be sunny and mild to warm today. temperatures again big difference in some of the lows but the high temps will be in the 60s to near 70. severe clear is what we like to say. san francisco if you live there, work there, it will be nice as well. 40s for some. upper 30s for others. 47 sfo. on the mild side for a few. any clouds? no. there will be a little increase over the weekend. everything looks good for today and right into sunday. so a cool morning and nice. it will be a nice day. highs in the 60s to a few low 70s. here is sal. >>> steve, good morning. we are looking at a commute that is not that bad. the drive times are less than they have been in some of the other days of the week here. let's take a look at westbound 24. for example, just a little bit less here between the walnut creek interchange and the tunnel of about an eight minute drive. sometimes it's 10 or 12 but this morning it's a little less. bay bridg

jim paulson and steve hoff are here. we will get to jim in just a second. steve, what do you make of this roller coaster market and where do we go from here? >> we think we are ending the year higher, mandy. we kept with our forecast of 2100 on the s&p which we put in place last year for the end of this year, right through here. we thought we were overdue for a 5% to 10% correction. things got a little ahead of themselves toward the end of last year. we sort of got that correction. i thought it would have gone lower but it seems like you're watching the tape, that the lows may already be in. if you look at a lot of the cyclical names, which are the ones we like, actually many of them corrected 8%, 9% over the last few weeks. so it's been a healthier correction than it even looks like on the averages because you had things like the sensitives going up in the s&p during this period. >> i will coin this the tom petty market. to steve's excellent point, the waiting has been the hardest part. everybody has been waiting for this. we have now got it. will the lose
