and there is just no easy way out of any of this. it has been quite a winter and we are not done yet. there are showers out there right now. showers in the forecast. tonight, tomorrow, tomorrow night, into wednesday. now, it will not rain everywhere all of the time. the best chance of rain is right now and tomorrow night. then, looking at the next atmospheric river event. arriving by late thursday afternoon and continue thursday night into friday. heavy rain, localized flooding, looking likely at this point with more wind damage, one of the threats associated with it. we will talk about all of it. focus on the rain that is about all of it right now and coming down as a good clip. heavy downpours, the top of the hour, pushed farther to the east in the oakland hills and parts of the try valley. more rain falling around hayward, fremont. that activity extends back towards san mateo and there are showers in the valley as well and more snow, mixed precipitation in the higher elevations, zoom out, putting it in motion, moving west to east.
1:55 am
this is the back edge of this particular batch of showers. heading through the rest of tonight. that activity should be quieting down. seeing a break in the action for much of the day on tuesday. good odds on getting to and from work without running into the showers, tomorrow, another wave of moisture will move through tomorrow night. showers lingers out there. then we are waiting on the rain to a roof. it will be looming to the west by late thursday morning. thickening clouds heading through the day with a good chance of the heavier rain arriving already by thursday afternoon. that is associated with the atmospheric river that the latest data indicates it will rank towards the middle of our one to five scale. ar-3, maybe a strong ar-2. puts us in moderate territory. what it means specifically is it is a mix of beneficial impact of more rain across the bay area. but, maybe, a little too much in a short amount of time considering how much we have seen so far this winter and watching
1:56 am
out for wind damage and power outages. focusing on the rain on a widespread basis. talking about two to three inches according to the weather station for the entire bay area. looking at 1 1/2 inches of rainfall. higher elevations, north bay, santa krouz mountains, four to five to six to seven inches of total rain in the next seven- days. right now, san francisco, a little break for the shower activity. temperatures in the middle to lower 40s across the board. dropping down to a mix of 30s and 40s by tomorrow morning. even getting through most of the day tomorrow without too much shower activity through the daylight hours on tuesday it will still be cold. temperatures topping out in the low to middle 50s. a good 10 it 12 degrees. similar conditions on wednesday. then, as the atmospheric river moves in, it will drag more air towards us. we get that benefit even if it comes with the hazards of too much rain and strong winds doing more tree damage and resulting
1:57 am
in more power outages, lingering saturday and sunday. anything past friday the detailed are fuzzy. showers over the weekend. not the heavy rain thursday night into friday. but then, yet, another system could bring more widespread rain monday into tuesday next week. it is the last day of the seven- day forecast. we got a lot of time before we get to that. we will keep an a on all of it as we are focused on our two alert days with the potential of just more problems weatherwise. >> this is why i said he is going to have a busy week. he has to for the sake of the rest of us. we appreciate you. >> we will keep an eye on everything. >> thank you very much, paul. people get upset when they are caught in the rain with the sun roof is open. he is driving top down in the snow on purpose, vern? straight ahead in sports, the first of the nfl free agent domino's has fallen. in basketball, it is all about the conference tournaments. six
