just a quick look back at what the storm looks like on saturday. just a beautiful example of what it looks like when you get isolated, on-again off-again showers, that moved through the bay. a nice rainbow. that is from on top the salesforce tower. that passes and the sunshine and the next band of rain moves through and you get an opening. for my comes through and warms up the ground and you get a few more showers. this is what it went like on a saturday. it will not be that impressive for sunday. there will be some isolated showers throughout the course of this morning. and once we get into sunday afternoon it will be more isolated , scattered hit or miss showers. you will get far more blue sky on sunday for today than you had yesterday. that beautiful time-lapse we were looking at, as active and busy and at times ominous looking , it will not be quite that intense today. you can see there will be showers, regardless. an

isolated hit or miss shower and if you get a heavier sell on top of your part of the bay, you get a show. it will be short-lived. we will get a quarter of an inch of rain tops. it will still snow in the sierra. we are looking at the potential for as much as an additional foot of snow through the overnight hours and through early this morning. the winter storm warning stays in effect until we get to 8:00 a.m. and then it expires. not that much longer to go. it is still a messy drive in the sierra for anybody who has to travel in the mountains. let's look ahead. keep your eye out in the pacific and you will see a couple of systems. there is the first one. that one has its eyes set on wednesday. then there is another one that comes in , perhaps targeting friday. we will do it again. the wednesday system does not really look super impressive at this point. but it is rain and in the seven day you will see it. the friday system looks like it could be more impactful. look at the organization. a beautifully, tightly wound up area of low pressure. pulling in some tropical moisture and it will

have some cold air to work with . it has all the ingredients at this point to be a pretty impactful storm . but we are still several days out and a little too far out to get super specific with it . but it will be around, the timing is, it could be around friday into sunday. let's watch as a different way. here is the comparison. the wednesday rain we have a higher degree of confidence on. this is wednesday. maybe a quarter of an inch of rain or closer to half inch and a half bay. now we add in friday and potentially leading into next weekend system and the totals go up a bit. that is still in question but since we see this the forecast models, it is worth to talk about now to give you an early heads-up. we will get about seven to 10 inches of snow from the for system in the sierra and watch what we get friday through sunday. the remains to be seen some questions needing to be answered in terms of how active the second half of this week will be. wednesday system we

have a high degree of confidence on and we will have more on the friday-saturday system as we get closer to it. well-known landmarks around the world powered down for a full 60 minutes as part of an environmental campaign called earth hour. they included the coliseum in rome. you can see the power turned off at the ancient ampitheater. earth hour was started by a conservation group , world wide fund for nature. it encourages iconic landmarks around the world to go dark for an hour , to promote a zero carbon lifestyle and sustainability. here is the eiffel tower in paris. section by section the monument turned off its power from 8:30 to 9:30 last night local time. once the 60 minutes were up, it shined bright again. other sites taking part included sydney's upper house , the parthenon in athens, and the barcelona. and the empire state building in new york
