Drifting through the bay area right now. More is coming. Lets check in with lisa argen and live doppler 7. Were in between systems now. Lot of moisture still out there. Were seeing mist, drizzle, light showers scattered around the bay area. In the north bay by clear lake and upper lake, we have some showers. Down along san rafael 101, scattered showers in the city. Los gatos, highway 17. Just three miles of visibility in concord and santa rosa. Southerly winds up to 28 miles an hour. We saw highs today of 70 in san jose. Our next system is a 1 on our storm impact scale. Well be timing it out for you tonight when the showers become a little more numerous as we head towards the morning commute. As we go through the 9 00 hour, some pretty good downpours from the north bay, spreading south through San Francisco. Well talk about the timing for the rest of the day, the weekend and the stronger system headed our way early next week. Dan . Lisa, thank you very much. Our weather is nothing comp

I will talk about all of this coming up in a few minutes. Vianey has been tracking a few issue, but for the most part it is smooth sailing a around the bay. Yes, kari, if you are saying the rain in 20 minutes, oh, boy, we have to look out for it on the
The sentencing hearing, which is still taking place on the second floor of the hall of justice behind me here in San Francisco was just in recess. It is back in session. It is expected that the judge will sentence Jose Ines Garcia zarate to the maximum three years in prison after being convicted of a firearm possession in the death of kate steinle. Again, that sentencing has not taken place yet, this is what legal experts are expecting. Hes likely fulfilled that sentence given time served.
