the bulk of the wet weather hit us overnight. you could encounter some day of roadways on the james lick but as i walked into the weather headlines, it looks like any showers we see will be residual in nature. the big story is the temperatures, mostly mild with those locations in the upper '40's. as we head into the afternoon we will see temperatures cooler than the seasonal average. most locations in the upper 50s in the low 60s and overnight mostly clear conditions would temperatures back into the '30's and '40's. here is a look at storm tracker 4. nothing affecting the bay area. nothing popping up on our radar. everything is well to the north meeting we could see a potential for a pop up shower here and there, but temperatures for the most part are not too bad this morning. as we head into the rest of the day we will see forties in the north bay locations along the peninsula and potentially low 50s down the east shores. as we head into the afternoon the green indicates 60 degree weather well to our east. the light blue does in
