Beginning to thicken in the bay area. Skies are still bright, but look at what is happening to our north, northwest just off the north coast of california. We have rain developing there. Thats the system coming in our direction to bring us a little rain during overnight hours and tomorrow. Relatively light storm. It ranks 1 on the storm impact scale. It will produce rain early in the morning, mainly in the north bay initially. Then it will spread as light rain and showers across other parts of the bay area into the midday and evening hours. We expect less than 1 10 of an inch of rainfall or accumulation of rainfall total i should say across the bay area, but it is going to slow down the morning commute. Ill give you a closer look at the storm and when it will end a little later. Eric . Spencer, thank you very much. Developing news, warriors steve kerr will be out for game 4 in portland because of Health Issues and that could stretch further into the playoffs. Sports anchor mike shumann

Most of the bay area will see less than a tenth of rain from the system, but there may be wet pavement for the morning commute. I will give you a closer look in a few minutes. Thank you very much. Warriors coach steve kerr will be out for game four in portland because of Health Issues and that could stretch into the playoffs. He said this week symptoms flared up from 2015 back surgery when he suffered a cerebral spinal fluid leak. Right now he is consulting with doctors, hoping for improvement. If it happens he will be back on the sidelines. If not, he may be out for longer. This is not going to be a case where im coaching one night, not coaching the next. Im not going to do that to our team, to our staff. Were hoping that over, you know, the next week or two, whatever it is, you
