It will take a little while and well see some sunshine here and there, but overall, this area of low pressure lingering around the bay area for the next 24 to maybe 30 hours or so. Here say live ldoppler 7, narro band of rain pushing through the north bay,iatewi aronts weak an francisco, even down on the peninsula, giving you a little tour around the bay area, and noticing that we have rain from the delta, napa, novato, the breezing southwest winds around 680, down through 280, along the peninsula, San Francisco a little bit wet, as well as Half Moon Bay and redwood city. Barely any drizzle there but a little bit on the radar and looking at the Bigger Picture, this is the area of low pressure that is going to continue to sink south, and bring cooler, unstable air and the chance of a thunderstorm as we get towards tonight, and monday, and then as it finally slides out of the area, still going to linger off the coast, into early tuesday. Look at the mild readings out there. 65 in hayward. 64 in fremont, in the upper 50s, one of the cooler locations up in the north bay and a little bit of fog out there from San Francisco. Two and a half mile visibility through Half Moon Bay, just over a mile, and with the cloud cover and the southwest winds, we have the wind gusts in the upper elevations, near 25 to 30 miles an hour.

Here we are 11 00, and then through the overnight hours, a line of some heavier downpours, looking at this to continue into your early monday. Here is the coolest day of the week, its breezy, and then into your tuesday weve got most of the showers offshore, but we will be looking at this system then to keep numbers down. The cloud cover with us, and look at the amounts. Highest amounts from the coast to the upper elevations of the north bay, from a third of an inch, elsewhere anywhere from a quarter inch, maybe a tenth, and a couple trace amounts of the further you get inland but maybe a tenth throughout livermore and the San Ramon Valley so looking at the sierra nevada, this is a winter storm warning late tonight into tuesday, with anywhere from a couple of inches, this is that heavy, wet snow up to ten inches in kirk wood, eight inches in donner, so big bonus here for the mountains for this late season system. Level one today, with mid60s San Francisco. Breezy at the coast. For 71 ins at times t bif a b livermore, and then waking up tomorrow, weve got more wet weather, temperatures in the 50s, and the accuweather sevenday forecast weve got the rain to start out the work week, and coolest numbers will be tomorrow.

Numbers today with the breezy winds low to mid60s at the coast. Much cooler out there with 65 up in the north bay.
