since then the nonprofit has outfitted hundreds of ill children with their own special capes. what a day brightener. for the little ones and moms and dads there. >> that is just really, really nice. let's talk about our weather now. bring in our chief meteorologist bill martin because we have some things to talk about. >> we have some rain to talk about. you were talking about that fire near the wood acres. the weather help -- helps the fire not take off. it's basically fire retardant it's really hard for fire to burn through that bark. that's one of the reasons the fire was undetectable until the light. the forecast for the next couple of days not fire weather at all. this weather system moves in. boy don't i wish we were right in the heat of the rain. but we're not. a live picture shot right here. you can see looking north you can see the clouds moving in. this rain coming or showers coming. they're still to the north and the showers have been reported

now in santa rosa and parts of petaluma along the coast i've had reports of drizzle and sprinkles. the live radar shows what it's been showing. we've had drizzle along davenport along the coast. these are light rain showers coming down. this is the kind of thing we have wind wipers intermittent. we will see a few sprinkles before that. it'll be wet for the morning commute. it'll windy out there as -- it's windy out there as well. gusting to 25 miles per hour in fairfield. sustained at 23, gusting to 20 at sfo. it's windy. no question about it. 24 out of the south at livermore that's the storm direction. so you see the southerly winds right you see the arrows coming from the south. that's a southerly wind. that's what you get. you know it's getting rain when the arrows start to clock around like that. which way were the arrows going? they were going this way. the forecast model here we are. 7:00a.m. tomorrow morning.

some stuff right. widely scattered showers. this is always updating this model i was looking at it a little longer but there's showers out around vallejo. you get the idea for your early morning commute the roadways should be wet. very little accumulation but enough to make those roads real slick for tomorrow morning's commute. it's going to be slow. what happens is we get a few breaks. weather system number two rolls in. both of these systems are not well organized but this one friday looks like it's got a little more pop to it so we'll be tracking this one for you as well. maybe it'll develop. rainfall accumulations over the next 24 hours it's not very much. but .3 of an inch of rain. trace amounts in san jose it'll slow down the commute. the forecast highs tomorrow. certainly cooler than they have been because it's been cool, it's been hot the last few days. no more of these temperatures are low fire danger temperatures. in other words we're going to have a nice looking run of low fire danger here throughout the five day forecast. we'll track it for you tonight at 10:00. i'll bet you we have some green

showing up in the bay area. so tune in for that and i'll see you back here. >> and looking good for game four tomorrow. >> ball games are sliding right in and around. ball games should be fine. >> thank you. a request from a major star that one couple was not expecting. >> i'm touching him on every. my hand around his arm. >> why brad pitt wanted this man's advice and why the couple is now headed to the red carpet. >> and more on what we're working on. it's a path for students who are not headed to a university right out of high school. school official tell me that 30% of the population graduating with a training degree then immediately heads out into the work force. >> the new way these students can now do both. also a father and grandfather swept out to sea. why his family says fishing was so important to him.
