One more chance of showers tomorrow then a largely dry forecast for friday and saturday. Maybe a chance of a couple of passing sprinkles. I dont think well see any measurable rain. Lets take a look at whats happening on high def doppler. Lets zoom around for a closer look. Downpours around san rafael and to the north around petaluma. And were looking at some heavier rain around fairfield as well. No thunderstorms out there today unlike yesterday, but locally heavy downpours. Inland portions of east bay more likely to see showers than along the bay itself. Were looking at some hit or miss showers into Alameda County as well. Livermore getting rain for the fourth day in a row. More showers around at san jose once again. But not as heavy as yesterday and were not seeing as much snow showing up on the map in the higher terrain, especially around mt. Hamilton where it was whiteout conditions at this point yesterday. Zoom back out and put everything into motion. Farther north we see the shower once again. Not much around santa rosa. South from that perspective. You see everything dropping off the radar then a few sprinkles as we head toward 11 00 this evening. And then a couple sprinkles still possible tomorrow morning. Looks like were going to be largely dry at that point. But the same mat earn is going to repeat itself that weve seen. Locally dense fog, especially in valley locations, and then as the atmosphere warms up, not a lot, but enough to get some showers going. Were going to see those developing over the higher terrain. And then they drift around as a storm system is gradually going to lose its influence over us over the next 24 hours. Which is why were going to see a largely dry forecast heading our way for friday and saturday. East bay and the bay bridge right now, showers in the distance. Its 53 degrees in concord right now with that rain falling, keeping temperatures on the cool side. Same thing for livermore. Same thing around san jose. 58 degrees in oakland with sun peeking through the clouds in oakland and the city. 54 degrees right now in San Francisco. Low temperatures tonight will be a bit on the chilly side. Once again in the upper 30s in northern valleys. Otherwise, low to hid 40s. Slightly warmer around the bay, slightly cooler farther inland. Opposite tomorrow, slightly cooler around the bay. Were used to that. Upper 50s to around 60 degrees a better chance to climb into the 60s as you head farther inland. A little closer to whats normal for the middle of march and spring which arrives tomorrow. The first full day of spring on friday might actually feel a little bit like it. High temperatures in the low to mid60s for most of us and warmer on saturday as the dry weather continues into the first half of the weekend but we bring more showers into the forecast by sunday, monday and tuesday of next week.

Relentless about learning the first song we ever danced to. About teaching him to put others first. About helping her raise her first child. And when i was first diagnosed, my choice was everyday verzenio. Its the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. It gives us more time without cancer progressing. Verzenio is the only cdk4 6 inhibitor approved with hormonal therapy that can be taken every day for postmenopausal women with hr , her2 mbc. Diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. At the first sign of diarrhea, call your doctor, start an antidiarrheal, and drink fluids. Before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection. Verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. Lifethreatening inflammation of the lungs can occur. Talk to your doctor if you have new or worsening trouble breathing, cough, or chest pain. Serious liver problems can happen. Symptoms include tiredness, appetite loss, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising. Blood clots that can lead to death have occurred. Tell your doctor if you have pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid breathing or heart rate, or if you are pregnant or nursing. My relentless reason its them. My choice with my doctor its verzenio. Ask your doctor if everyday verzenio is right for your first treatment. So how are you passing the time during the shelter in place .

The animals really are good stress reducer for people. They give us what we call unconditional love. So its a good thing that youre at home and enjoy that time.
