Some heavy downpours, and even a couple of those downpours trying to become fullfledged thunderstorms. Not seeing any lightning on the lightning detector at this point. Lets show you where the heaviest rain is. North bay picking up the heaviest. Widespread over martin county, and most of sonoma county. You are gradually going to dry out.

That has been showing signs of getting back together and dropping a cloudtoground Lightning Strike or two, but nothing as yet. These are moving from southeast to northwest. So everything is pinwheeling around the center of this storm system that has been dominating our weather.

This is in the last of the widespread rain that were going to see. Switching over to the future radar.

Better chance of some of that runs just to the mother of sonoma county. Thats where were talking about a few showers possible a bit more likely on tuesday, but the rest of us, just a colonel of positiveup showers here and there. Talking 10 to 20 rain chances. Not much of an additional chance on tuesday. So what we have haded up in the storm system is pretty much what were going to get overall, but its been enough to eat away at that rainfall deficit. We added about 3 to 5 to these numbers over the weekend, especially that heavier rain yesterday. So were still running a significant rainfall deficit to this point in the season, but well take every drop that Mother Nature wants to give us. Looking outside right now, looking towards the east bay, and still plenty of cloud cover out there. Cool temperatures, too. Everybody is in the midto upper 40s. Were not going to drop too far the rest of the night, but some inland valley locations might dip down to the upper 30s, and youre more likely to start the day tuesday in the low 40s with some dense fog. Upper 50s and lowtomid 60s, a less warmer than the past couple of days. So were slowly making a bit more progress, but it will be progress that we kind of have to wait for until later in the week for a return to near normal temperatures. High temperatures near the bay tomorrow, running 50s to 60 degrees. Thursday and friday, mild temperatures on the way. Even a degree or two above average, especially farther inland, and for the first time in a while, were talking about try weather over the weekend.
