A thats because well weve got a storm system coming right down from the gulf of alaska, so this is going to be a much colder system coming in and that rain will be picking up as early as tonight. So certainly see some of that around the bay area back to from beginning to move into far Northern California, not a lot of energy in the first part of the from but its going to develop throughout the weekend. Weve already seen some lightning strikes there so some very cold unstable air is going to be sliding in you can see the rain even some snow beginning to show up in far Northern California, not not the biggest storm weve ever seen but its still going to sit there off the coastline, the fronts going to come through but the core low is going to spin off the coast and spin of rain showers all weekend long. The winds have been somewhat blustery in some parts of the bay area and almost 30 Miles Per Hour right now in byron, but you get suddenly wind now out ahead of the system and certainly well see the wind will be blustery times of some of the storms roll on through tonight, increasing clouds and some showers developing especially after midnight tomorrow, mostly cloudy going to see the rain in the morning and thats going to turn to some cold showers on and off throughout the afternoon.

And thats key to this storm not only this cold front going to come through early tomorrow morning but then behind that youre going to see wave after wave of moisture rotate around this low coming on shore bringing periods of rain maybe get a couple sunny breaks couple rainbows in between and then back to showers maybe some isolated thunderstorms. And certainly the possibility of more rain not only for just tomorrow, but i think throughout the weekend these temperatures to bundle up it is going to be chilly highs are only going to be in the 40s 50s thats a big difference skies compared to the mid 70s.
