We talked at the beginning of the show what we can expect with those showers coming in. Really over tonight and the next couple of hours well see the rain beginning to pick up with possibly some heavier pockets, even into the morning commute. Lets bring you into our microclimate forecast. Good to go for your wednesday morning. I did want to start off with a look at where the storm system is. The cold front is beginning to push in, providing the uplift necessary to help provide some rainfall. Any time you get uplift, it takes moisture at the lower levels and brings it into the upper atmosphere, able to reach its condensation point and you get rain drops out of that. So were seeing that happening down to about the santa cruz mountains. A closer view here, it looks to be some moderate and a few heavier pockets. Storm ranger is close to the ground, so its able to get a better scan of what you are experiencing. Again, moderate with heavier rain, but lets fade on storm ranger. You can see most of what people are experiencing now, some showers coming down, emeryville and oakland, just light rain. Its not extremely heavy, but we expect this to pick up in intensity. Right now, some of those showers moving off to berkeley by 11 54 tonight. Ill take you off towards the south, and you notice some of this rainfall moving into palo alto by 11 58 tonight. As we move into the overnight hours, its going to be very spotty in nature, its just that kind of storm system. By tomorrow morning, youll have to watch out the most here, youre going towards San Francisco or anywhere in marin, napa, sonoma counties. In the south bay and east bay, its going to be very scattered. We should eventually start to see this storm system push on out of here as we head through tomorrow afternoon. So due to the short duration of this storm system, were not expecting a ton of rainfall. Anywhere from a 10th to a third of an inch for most of the bay area, and some of the highest elevations would be right around one half of an inch. So umbrella needed tomorrow, also that jacket as well start off cold. 45 in the south bay. Trivalley at 43. 42 in the east bay, San Francisco and the north bay with. That rain moving in tomorrow, temperatures are not going to warm up a lot. San jose, 58 degrees. Gilroy at 57. Over to the east bay, 54 in vallejo. Lets take you to the peninsula, 55 in redwood city. San francisco, a little bit of a wind at 12 miles per hour. And in the north lay, clearlake at 49, sonoma 53. Lets spend some time on this, and you can see how i positioned things. We get the rain chance through tomorrow. Dry on thursday and friday, and once we get to the weekend, we get the next storm system moving in. Right now it should start to push in through the evening hours on saturday. 7 00 to about 11 00 p. M. , so not wet all day long. With that 49ers game, we could see showers around the fourth quarter. I think were wetter here on sunday and continue rain chances into monday, with a threeday rain total anywhere from a quarter to one and a quarter of inches. And then showers on christmas eve. So far looks great for santa claus to move across the bay area, so no problems for all those kids. Lets bring it into the inland forecast. 50s here for daytime highs.
