As you get ready to head out we are seeing showers over the south bay, east bay, as well as the north bay up around napa. So were still looking at the possibility of this rain adding up on all of those heavy rainfall totals that we had and seeing a wintry mix as we look at upper elevations. As we head over toward the south county those rainfall totals have been pretty impressive.
