Now we are going to see some changes into the next few days as this storm system approaches and moved from north to south and arrived in the north bay by tonight. Lets time it out. So most of the day were dry, just seeing more clouds. Here we are at 11 00 tonight and that is when the rain starts to move in. It is very spotty. In fact some of us will not get any of that rain at all. In other areas during the overnight hours, it is just enough to wet the streets. And make things a little slick for the morning commute. Then going into thursday, another wave of rain coming in but it does look more widespread. But overall it is pretty light with the couple of days of rain only looking at about a tenth to quarter of an inch of rain for most of the bay area.

Statewide average at 83 of normal which is better than last year at this time. We were at 63 of mormal with the first snow measurement. But we ended the season at 201 . So even though we started out with not a lot of snow, we did see it really pick up. And right now were seeing some of the melting, some of it is sublimation straight from snow to a gas and 85 of the snow filled the reservoir that gives the bay area its supply of the water. And then as we look at statewide, 60 of that water from the sierra, that snow melt supplies the rest of the state. Now think about it, last week when they did that survey, they said it was at 97 . So just in five days weve lost is a 15 . So that is something im watching. And mike, the morning commute is looking good. We wish we could lose the commute. I have a lighter commute.
