Theres live doppler 7 looking pretty quiet this morning, 43 in oakland.

Another mild afternoon, in fact the mildest one, and then well see increasing clouds ahead of that next system, and this is the one that could bring us anywhere from half inch to maybe an inch from San Francisco and oakland up through the north bay, and then looking at lesser amounts in the south bay. Hoping for more but unfortunately thats a really isolated one chance of rain coming in tuesday and wednesday. 67 in richmond today. Looking at 68 in oakland. Numbers will be milder today, with low 70s in morgan hill. So a nice day there with 71 in san rafael, mid60s with increasing clouds up in the north bay, from santa rosa to lakeport, and your accuweather sevenday forecast. We have more 70s arriving for your monday, so pretty mild, a level one system for tuesday. A little bit soggy there, when we get it late morning to early afternoon commute on tuesday, should be ending on wednesday, mountain snow is good and as we get into the rest of the work week, its quiet. Well call it a zonal flow with numbers in the 60s, clouds around on thursday, so not too exciting out there, liz, except for the fact that boy t felt good out there yesterday with the sun. Another nice one ahead
