These are the winds rushing into this very strong this time of year fall storm. And, the winds rushing in to get pulled into it. As that storm start to pull away tomorrow, the winds will let up. Streamlines are no longer out of the north. So, it will be breezy tomorrow. But it is not going to be windy like today. No windchill factor. Though the thermometer is going down, it will feel a little better tomorrow. But it will feel like a storm is in the area tomorrow with clouds and i will show you who in the bay area has a small chance of a few isolated showers. The snow in the sierra is the headline. If we look at the accumulations tomorrow, we have a little bit of snow accumulated but watch what happens from then on. Bottom line, tomorrow afternoon, from 5 00 on, is when the majority of the snow falls on the passes. If you have somebody traveling back home. Give them the heads up. They are likely not watching the local news and may not know and people are going to get caught in this tomorrow. If you know somebody you can help, give them a call and make sure you are prepared for snow. Possibly chains. Snow tires, four wheel drives. Lets talk about our chance for rain. This is a large storm. This thing will drop five feet of snow in the rockies tomorrow in montana. We are down here on the Southern Branch of it. As far as the bay area is concerned, watch the futurecast as we get into if afternoon in the north bay. That gets us into the late afternoon. Maybe a few isolated showers. Potentially in the form of an isolated thunderstorm. Nothing like what happened. In the Central Valley. But still, a little downpour. Some wind, lightning and thunder. It will be really slighted. If you happen to get the isolated thunderstorm, you could be in for a show. Most of us wont.
