you can see through the beginning of the week, conditions improving. less chances by wednesday. partly cloudy conditions. speaking of the rain, i want to show you something unusual for this time of year. this moisture barrelling into northern california and the pacific northwest. this is something we don't typically see this time of year. it's good news. more rainfall is not that impressive for a wintertime storm where typically you can see eight to ten inches of rainfall. we are talking one to three inches of rain. two to four inches this time of year is extremely rare. that's the good. the plus side of this. unfortunately, the bad side, cold air up to the warm air. it means strong winds over the rockies. good for them. bad in the rockies, higher wind and lower humidity as a result. thunderstorm chances from the dakotas to iowa today. what does that mean? the college world series. they are not going to like that so much.
