look at the eye of that hurricane, approaching the west coast of mexico. this is major hurricane, category 5 storm, patricia, it is 190-mile-per-hour sustained winds, and higher gusts over 200 miles per hour. so imagine a hurricane that's actually with tornado winds, this big, just cutting a path right into the west coast of mexico. pretty amazing the damage that's going to be done unfortunately with this and that doesn't even include the wall of water that's going to come ashore, and the rainfall that's going to cause landslides in the mountainous locations here just to the west and northwest of mexico city. 125-mile-per-hour winds, going by 2:00 a.m. yes, it will start to weaken that quickly. in fact, down to 60 miles per hour. these mountains will rip this storm apart, but also squeeze out every bit of that tropical moisture, and that's why there will be flooding and landslides and mudslides. back home, we have a few clouds around, but offusually it's going to be a clear night. back to the west, there's a front and that cold front means business. when i

the west coast of mexico. r for the west coast of mexico. but perhaps for the eastern pacific, it may become one of the strongest. we'll have to do some more investigation. but it looks that way now. expected to move towards the north. puerto vallarta, manzanillo. those are the two areas that will be most impacted. a lot of people go to those coastal areas, and acapulco. it does look like acapulco will also be affected. maybe some feeder bands. maybe occasionally heavy rainfall, some gusty winds, heavier surf, a rip current. but magnify that extensively all the way from puerto vallarta to manzanillo. what can we expect? well we think that this is going to be making landfall on friday. maybe midday, afternoon, or towards the evening. it doesn't really matter what time it makes landfall. that's when the eye crosses the coast. it matters that you have preparations. it's a category 5. it does not look like it's going to weaken significantly at all as it makes its way onshore. so 10 to 20 inches of rainfall. what ca

only the second one to ever do so on the west coast of mexico and you can see where it's coming ashore, just to the north of manzanillo. that means manzanillo will get hit extremely hard with the very heavy winds as well as the storm surge there, too, will have a big problem there. one thing i'm watching as this storm makes its way inland it will be far enough south and east of port vallarta that they're not going to see the worst of the storm. they'll still have major problems there, and the worst of this will be down toward the manzanillo area and cool condition, 69 degrees by 11:00 and 56 doesiegrees. 56 and reston coming in at 62. we're starting to see cooler weather and we will continue to see that. no rain on the radar and you can see this ground clutter and that is a signature of clear skies around the region and that's exactly what we're dealing with. tomorrow's forecast, a few clouds and we'll call it sunny. it will be cool to start, and rather nice and temperatures 62 to 67 degrees. for the marine corps marathon, for those of you getting up early and jim handly will be down t

turning now to hurricane patricia, the massive category 5 storm is quickly moving towards the west coast of mexico and is now the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the western hemisphere. texas is bracing for more severe weather courtesy of patricia. meteorologist bill evans is tracking it all from the weather center. >> it is a large storm, and it is the strongest storm the national hurricane center has ever had to deal with, and it is moving towards the mexican coast and continuing to move kind of a north, northeast trek, and that's going to carry it towards some of these states in mexico, around halisco, and it is a category 5 storm. it's still at 880-millibars pressure, which is extremely low. it will continue moving toward the mountains of mexico. once it makes landfall later this evening, within 36 hours it's really going to lose a lot of its hurricane characteristics and really weaken, but its potency will remain with the moisture that's with the system that can create some 10, 20 inches of rain here in mexico, mud slides, big problems there. this will carry in to texas as we go saturday

now, this is just off to the west coast of mexico. and it's a category four hurricane. unately we're going to hear a lot about some mudslides and flooding from mexico and also approaching central texas. they're expecting anywhere from 10 to 12 inches of rain by the beginning of next week. just unheard of crazy amounts of rain could cause a lot of flooding as that system slowly weakens. and in the bay area we're staying mostly dry heading into the weekend. so a good weekend to get outside. mostly in the 70s and 80s san francisco on friday up to 73 degrees. dropping back to 69 degrees on sunday. more clouds, possibly a few showers. but i think most of our slight rain chances will be reserved for the north bay. and then some breezy winds and slightly cooler temperatures for the end of the weekend. so get out there and enjoy. we have no excuse. there's a 100-year-old lady out there working. >> fair enough. we can get out there. thanks, kari. >> yes, we can. we'll be right back. sesame street has a new kid on the block. ==vo== her name is julia and she's the first sesame stre
