Its a stones throw away from the redwood highway. The top of the safe was pryed open, police do not know what was inside or who the safe belongs to. They are asking anyone with information to come forward. I told you it was weird. It is strange. When chp officers post road signs for flooding they mean it, a driver found out of the wrong way. Her car stalled out in high water. The chp recognized a passing truck driver that agreed to help on out, he pulled along the car and the driver was able to get in the truck without getting through the cold water. Told us many times, follow the signs and that will be important this weekend especially. A lot of us are not used to the flooding conditions. If you see standing water, turn around. A bit of water can actually sweep your car away in some cases. It is one of the leading killers when it comes to weather. Lets go ahead and take a look at the stormranger right now. Its our mobile Doppler Radar on wheels. Its getting light to moderate rainfall that is left over at the moment. We will go in to the radar scan and we have seen the bulk of the activity moving on out, so thats the good news. We are starting to see a bit of a break in the weather pattern beginning and i think it will last at least through fridays forecast. Really right now, just a few spotty showers here down towards the south bay. For tomorrow morning, we will start off dry and roadways will be slick. You want to take it slow. We will begin cool in the south bay, and 46 in the peninsula and 42 in the trivalley. And San Francisco, 45. As we get a look at the micro climate forecast for thursday, we get sunshine in. So it will be more enjoyable. Enjoy it while you can now. Make sure to take anything inside like chairs, and things that could move around in some wind this up coming weekend with the storm. We have if ft in morgan hill, and 53 for east san jose. Throughout the east bay, a cold 49 in danville and 52 in concord, for the peninsula. Anywhere from 50 in palo alto and 52 in Half Moon Bay and San Francisco, a chilly 49 and 53 for the marina. In to the north bay, mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies, 53 in sonoma. Now lets spend time in the incoming storm system t latest update does still have rain coming our way by saturday. I dont think it will be snowy all weekend long that is due to the fact that the storm system will have warmer air associated with it. As you look here, you can see the storm system starting to line up by friday, 11 00 off shore. Then we are in for rainfall all day saturday at this point. And take a look at this, by sunday, it looks like the mainstream of moisture will aim at the Santa Cruz Mountains and it will give the south bay higher rain fall totals than the north bay. That is why the flooding threat continues to remain high. We have seen them trend down, just a bit. I still think we will get heavy rainfall this weekend. But totals, maybe going at least on the little bit of a downward side. Up to the north bay, rain. 23 inches possible for the south bay. We are in the zone of to he pe y we are in the zone of potential three inches. Again, hang on with us here in the next couple of days, we wi be fine tuning the forecast and we will certainly lock these number downs even better as we get closer. Heres the over view. Dry weather, thursday and friday. Rain returns saturday. Highest flood threat is sundays forecast. And then, rainfall, monday, tuesday and wednesday of next week. Temperatures similar from San Francisco to the interior valleys. No big changes here. And all of our major rivers it should be said will be reaching close to flood stage. A lot of the small creeks, rivers and streams, if everything is on point with the forecast, will be near bank full. Sunday is the day we will watch out for. Jeff, thank you very much.
