earnest: to the north korean people? look, the truth is, there is a significant population of north korean citizens who are suffering right now. and they're suffering because of the policy decisions made by the leadership of that country. he leaders of that country have chosen to prioritize that country's nuclear and ballistic missile programs over meeting the base needs of its citizens - basic needs of its citizens. that's grossly immoral. but it's a decision that that country's leadership has made. that's why putting in place sanctions that would have an impact on their nuclear and missile programs and have an impact on the lifestyle of the ruling elite in north korea does put pressure on the regime that they haven't seen before. we're just a couple of hours after the united nations has passed this resolution. but as it goes into effect, it will have an impact on north korea's programs, their ballistic missile and nuclear programs, it will have an impact on the ruling elite. we'll see if it ends up having an impact on t

here's a look at the area to the north and east. this is one little disturbance, we'll have to keep our eye and that's what's going to give us the potential for more rain. this is the area we're watching for monday. we've had some severe storms in parts of arkansas, back into oklahoma. this is going to be moving to the north and east and clips our area. there are going to be later in the day after our daytime heating, hopefully we won't have to feel with any severe weather. 11:00 tonight, still a couple showers, spot body across the area, tomorrow morning, maybe a few showers but i think our will be late in the day. pretty quiet, but as we get to 10:00, 11:00, we could have a couple of rumbles of thunder t. doesn't look like it's going to be a big deal. some showers still possible. maybe a little bit of fog in the morning with lows in the 50s and 60s and tomorrow another warm day. 70s for the highs with those storms possible. very late in the day, i think we have a lot of dry time on monday. it's not until tomorrow night we have a ch

for the north bay off and on showers into the evening. north bay temperatures in the mid-60s. so over the next few days we're going to see opportunities for heavier rain coming down and it's because of this rainfall boost that is setting up offshore. not just a storm but a storm with subtropical moisture extending out to hawaii. we saw this coming together last thursday. we'll see those upper level winds very favorable for high rain rates per hour and a lot of snow in the sierra. so compare the type of rain we're seeing today just a little bit to the north bay of as that atmospheric river starts to point to the north bay during the day tomorrow, look how high those rain rates are and the rain in the north bay over an inch. san jose missing out, at least through thursday. things will change by thursday night on into friday so over the next few days, north bay getting a lot as we head into tomorrow morning and showers for the south bay. thursday's system not really the big rain producer for the south bay and the santa cruz mountains. it's friday's system that comes on in. friday

that's the reason you're seeing some flood concerns today into the north bay. eventually this line will move a little fwuurther to the south b it's going to weaken by the time it approaches san jose. you'll see how the showers do reach the peninsula and south bay with some breezy conditions but the heavier rain will show up as we get into friday, as the next storm starts to arrive. highs today around san jose, upper 60s near 70. just a few showers. the rain picks up in coverage and intensity once you pass san francisco and headed to the north bay where it's been a soaker of a day so far. temperatures close to 60 in santa rosa, mid-60s out towards the tri-valley. so the timing now on the next storm, watch how the rain line moves up into the north bay. 9:00 tomorrow morning you're seeing the rain filling in across the south bay, then changing over to showers for the afternoon. hopefully we get that break for the north bay by midafternoon into the evening but these showers may include thundershowers which could cause some localized flooding issues as well along wit
