Youll see that added shower chance to the microclimate forecast, scrolling at the bottom of your screen as that begins to populate. I want to show you the Doppler Radar now. Were tracking the sub tropical moisture to the south. A few isolated storms developing near monterey, very close to gilroy. Well keep a close eye on this over the next hour and a half. We may actually have some isolated storms to be talking about. Otherwise, well get you outside the sky camera network. The increased temperatures today, that added heat up to 81 in the south bay now and blue skies. 77 for the peninsula. 92 in the east bay for the average. So definitely hotter there. San francisco, even getting in on the game with 72. Now we can show you from the north bay and our belvedere camera some of those clouds that we noted on the Doppler Radar. You can see its a high cloud blowoff here from the north bay. No rainfall up here into the north bay or San Francisco tonight. But just some beautiful cloud cover. Lets go ahead and get you into the forecast for tomorrow morning, and i do think low clouds will be coming back here from the north bay, down to the south bay, with a few breaks of sundown here towards the Silicon Valley and starting off with 61. And the peninsula will begin with 63. Lets advance the story right into the microclimate forecast as we head throughout thursday. And the two biggest differences, temperatures will increase one to about 3 degrees and high clouds moving across. Still very comfortable for san jose with 86 degrees. For the peninsula, notice this, even the coastline going up to 70 in pacifica. Palo alto, 83. San francisco, 72 in the mission and the financial district up to 71. For the north bay, east bay and also for the tri valley, hotter temperatures, tri valley no 100s, but you will be pushing into the mid 90s tomorrow for livermore with 94. Danville also expecting 91. The forecast this week, all be it, has been very complicated and you can see were still tracking remnant moisture from Tropical Storm guillermo. All the way down near hawaii. It looks like this will continue to get mixed into our flow the next two days. So what is this going to mean for us . By thursday night, our storm system begins to develop offshore. At about 8 30. As that begins to progress closer by 3 00 and 4 00 in the morning on friday, you can see the forecast models picking up on a little bit of shower activity. Nothing major. But as we head throughout friday morning, by 5 00, you can see some bullseyes developing up here. Some stronger intensities of rainfall near santa rosa. Its having a hard time producing some of this rainfall towards the east bay and the south bay. I still think well have some isolated storm cells as far south as san jose. So again, for friday morning, this means the potential here of what looks to be rainfall. Trace amounts to maybe. 800 of an inch. In the north bay and east bay, we could have some of our best possibilities of getting some rainfall there. San jose maybe only. 300 of an inch. Good news when it comes to short term fire danger. We just have to watch out for lightning strikes. By this weekend, temperatures warm up, saturday and also sunday for the south bay. San francisco upper 60s to low 70s and the tri valley will come in with numbers close to 90 degrees, you guys. Okay, thanks, jeff. Still ahead, first netflix, now microsoft.
