They cant really hide those statues. Its going to be in somebodys yard im sure. Okay. Lets get a check of the forecast. Lets get the statue back. I felt it was a tad bit warmer. I wasnt frozen as much last night. And those clouds that moved in really helped to act as a blanket. It was a little bit more enjoyable out there this morning and through today. As we move to the next couple of days were going to see that chance of rainfall and thats going to be good news because we have our expanding drought across the state. Thats what i wanted to begin with tonight, a look at how things stand on the current drought situation. Youll see a lot of the bay area is in this brown color here. Thats a severe drought through the north bay, east bay, and San Francisco. This means increased fire danger with higher burn intensity when fires get started. Crop damage, trees also generally become very stressed. Looking at pasture loss, also river flow decrease as well. Any kind of rainfall we can pick up of course continues to help this situation. I do think the weather pattern is leaning towards us getting more rainfall. You can see the cloud cover out there right now and as we bring in the forecast, it will stay dry but we have a chance of patchy ground fog i want you to be on the look out for if youre up early tomorrow morn. As we head through the day we have high clouds remaining with us and the cool temps. The rain chances also see snow coming our way by friday. Look at the storm ranger and you can see we do have rainfall offshore. This will not impact us, it be it is a sign of the times and how that pattern continues to change. So, through tomorrow morning we have those clouds and 40s here for the south bay, peninsula at 42, trivalley at 40. Also down to 42 in the east bay, San Francisco 47 and north bay at a cold 38. At least its not the temperatures we had below freezing to start off the week. As we move through the day tomorrow, we get a little bit of a break of sunshine here, a little window of sunshine through the afternoon and 61 in san jose. And its going to be really similar if you head throughout the micro climates. 60 in martinez. More of those 60s for the peninsula. 61 in palo alto and dally city dropping. 59 in the mission. Relatively light winds out of the west at 10 and the north bay. 62 in ukiah and 63 in napa. Lets move to the rain chances. Things refined on the forecast, condensing rain chances down. And you can see by friday morning well have that rainfall lining up here off to the north. So, it really is about friday for the best chances of rain fall. Let me advance this and show you how things play out for friday. Well see possibility of widespread rain friday afternoon and friday evening and also bring back snow to the sierra. So, in my extended forecast, we have 50s and 60s in San Francisco the next seven days with the rain focus on friday and spotty chance early saturday. So, do not think the whole weekend is going to be wet, so thats good news for plans. Spotty chance of rain next wednesday. For the inland valleys, well keep the 60s over the next several days and the rain focus again on fridays forecast. While the rain moves in, the other good news is the se year rah knows. You could see 12 inches at kingville, 4 inches South Lake Tahoe and kirkwood at 7.
