Again, watch our full investigation tonight at 11 00. Nbc bay area news. Thanks so much. Lets turn things over to jeff ranieri. He joins us now, still talking about this rain that showed up in the middle of summer. I know, this area of low pressure that pushed in all the way from southern california, also humid outside and just in case you missed it earlier in the show, we did want to give you a look rather at some of our top august rainfall totals. Now this is really phenomenal, not only because we are in a drought, but because of august we typically dont average over. 05 of an inch of rainfall. Trying to get the words out, not used to talking about rain. Martinez the top total. Concord, pittsburg, petalu petaluma. 04, and pinole picking up. 02, as well. Many cities across the bay area today and within the past 24 hours had more rainfall than we had for the entire month of january. That really, again, is how phenomenal this is. Take a look at the Doppler Radar right now, few areas of rain continuing across santa rosa for about the next two to three hours from santa rosa to petaluma and its pushing off towards the west, towards bodega bay and eventually we may get showers into San Francisco. Now the other thing besides the rainfall, of course, has been the temperatures that have been in the 60s and also the 70s. I know youre feeling it in the south bay.

I want to recap that again for you, the overall projection of the storm system and whats going to be happening. Highest chance of rainfall for tonight remains across the north and east bay hills. The timing on the activity, again, begins to end throughout wednesday in the noon hour, and really the largest benefit of all of this, its doing nothing to solve our drought, is the fact our fire danger is going down slightly, so theres good news for us. Lets take you into the microclimate forecast as we head throughout our wednesday. Midweek forecast, mix of sun and clouds for san jose, 84 degrees tomorrow, hotter in morganhill and 87 for the peninsula, 66 in pacifica, 83 in palo alto and 60s across San Francisco. Lets take you to the north bay, east bay, trivalley and youll see rain chances ending here in napa for the east bay, walnut creek and trivalley, 90 degrees expected in livermore. So hotter and again sunnier weather by the afternoon for tomorrow. Of course, we always have more on that full weekend forecast. Its available at nbcbayarea. Com.
