Live doppler 7 tracking it the next 24 hours giving you the active sweep. Its a quiet evening at hand under mainly cloudy skies but temperature wise weve struggled to hit 50 earlier this afternoon, a lot of 40s and low 50s on the board right now so the call from accuweather overnight tonight, likely light showers after midnight and temperatures mainly Holding Steady in the 40s. But its all about the storm impact scale on your monday. This is a level three storm. A strong storm moving in, heavy rain at times, strong winds, especially monday afternoon and monday evening and with that heavy rain does come the concern for flood iing over the north b over our recent burn scars. Lets time this entire system out for you. Monday morning, its in the corner of your screen, 5 00 in the morning as the Early Morning commuters are under way. A lot of cloud cover the activity gets going by 9 00 in the morning, widespread showers, as we hit midday the storm is going to intensify and what that means, you see more yellows and oranges on your screen indicating the heavier downpours working into the region. By 3 00 monday afternoon, theres this widespread heavy rain across the region with those bright colors on your screen and the evening commute on your monday does look to be very slow and very messy with those downpours continuing even by 7 30 in the evening on monday, we are still tracking heavy rain through the region. The tail end of the storm system wont even work through our neck of the woods until late monday into early tuesday morning. After that, its going to leave us a soaking rain. Future tracker rainfall showing you one to two inches of widespread rain is a very good estimate, where we see those downpours develop i think its likely well see more than two inches of rain. Were watching the south bay far rain shadow effect of the Santa Cruz Mountains but south bay will get close to an inch or two of the storm. Its not only the rain, its very strong winds, a wind advisory will go into effect midday monday. Winds could gust over 40 Miles Per Hour and that could likely bring trees down and also bring us isolated power outages. So well show those winds for you. Future tracker wind gusts showing you by 6 00 on monday those winds are streaming out of the south 30, to 40 Miles Per Hour, likely even higher than that along our coastline. So highs on your monday, it will be a raw, rainy day. Temperatures barely getting into the 50s. So the accuweather sevenday forecast, ill plan the next seven days for you. Tomorrow theres the strong storm, intensifying in the afternoon and evening with heavy rain and wind, a lingering shower on tuesday could bring us an isolated thunderstorm, well keep track of that. By midweek wednesday were drying out. By thursday and friday into the upcoming week enend its a blenf sun and clouds but allow yourself extra time for the evening commute, it will be very slow and very messy.

Saints would score again to make it a twopossession game but four minutes remaining, newton, a former stamford star christa mccaffrey, 3126 saints. Two minutes left, fourth and two from midfield. Saints go for it, brees picked off although their defender should have dropped it for better field position, new orleans catches a break. 11 seconds left. Cam can only throw to the end zone but doesnt even get it off. Sacked, saints win 3126. Theyll face the vikings next week. A hard fought win and, you know, came down to final series we knew this was going to be a different type of game. Its frustrating. We played against a Football Team that made plays when they needed to. We didnt make a play. We had a chance. Thats all you can ask. I thought our guys rallied, very proud of the effort they gave and the way they stepped up and made things happen at the end of the game but we missed our chance.

Later in the drive, third and goal from the two, Leonard Fournette jumping to the end zone, literally pulled back by lorenzo alexander. Next play, bortles will slip on the snap, regains his footing, fires a dart, only touchdown. 103 jags. 1 20 left in the game, bills one last chance to tie, tyrod taylor. Peterson takes over. What does he do . He throws an interception. Jalen ramsey with a pick. Jaguars face the steelers next week in their divisional round. We have to find ways to move the ball and be more efficient and put up more points to give them more help but we found a way to win, hard fought game. Thats what playoff football is. We were able to get the win at home which was big. You dont get anything for the effort in this game. Its won and lost on the scoreboard. We need to score more points. Appreciate how hard the guys played and how hard they worked all season. This was a step. We learned a lot of valuable lessons today, ones that will Carry Forward as we move forward as an organization. Sharks ending their fivegame road trip in winnipeg. Jets up one. The shot deflected by marco d dano. Logan coutures one timer goes off the far post and in, san jose one down. But a very fortunate penalty call a few minutes later, Chris Tierney gets knocked in, gets called for goaltender interference and the jets take advantage. Double deflection, the sharks fall 41.
