A lot of people think its been illegally dropped there. But the majority of the litter that we see is coming from our urban street and through the storm drains and out into the bay. This year save the bay organizers are calling attention to the large number of cigarette butts they pick up. They account for nearly 40 of all litter collected and could end up flowing into the bay where they pollute the water and kill off the wildlife as well.

Some interesting changes in the area around the bay area, not just the rain fall but the wind shift. September 21st, see onshore winds racing through the golden gate racing north the east. And if you can imagine, its sort of like an elongated football field, the winds moving west to east. But today the cold front on the approach, the rain started develop and the winds moved south to north bring in the moisture from the south and instead of going end zone to end zone, changing the wind direction to go from sideline to sideline. And the race course isnt set up for the southerly winds. The hope was that when the cold front went by that that could shift the wind back. But the winds stayed out of the southwest today. So the race area not in the configuration you would want. There is hope tomorrow, though. Well see those winds once again coming more out of the west for sunday afternoon. Right now still a southwest wind into San Francisco. You can see the wind is gusty and todays highs only in the 60. Not om did we get all of the rain, but you saw the high temperatures not even get a into the 70s. But right now the sun is breaking out along the bay area and as diane mentions off to the east where the showers are heading out of the central valley. Theyre heading up to the sierra valley. We are seeing some snow, just enough to stick for 12 hours. So the sierra forecast brings in a little more snow then things will dry 0 out. Theres an ironman triathlon tomorrow in the tahoe base sin. Thankfully for that event well see some clearing in the sierra for sunday. Hour by hour for this evening, were not quite done with the showers yet. If you look in the hill tops, just after midnight youre seeing some showers here. But after sunrise, the skies will clear out. Mostly sunny conditions for the afternoon. Morning temperatures in the 50s. Outdoor event tomorrow looking pretty good as the as try to wrap up the al west. Temperatures will be 70 in oakland and for the San Francisco 49ers well see temperatures in the 60s. Fall begins tomorrow at 4 44 p. M. Upper 60s in San Francisco as the temperatures begin to climb up. A little bit of cooling tuesday into wednesday then the numbers come back up.
