clouds coming in. mist and drizzle likely on the coast. onshore wind push the marine air into fairfield and very likely clouds into livermore. for tomorrow, we're still going to see some showers.

tomorrow but you'll see coming up the rain totals are really backed off a lot. wednesday, also one more weak system will come on by and the real headline for the second half of the forecast, those temperatures warming up towards next weekend. right now the satellite and radar view looks impressive. you can see the rain filling in around ukiah and eureka. the system will take a lot of the energy and stay just off to the north. what we're going to be left with is the weakening system dropping in through tomorrow morning. so you can see all the low clouds inland for tomorrow morning. areas of drizzle. a little bit of light rain in the north bay. as we approach lunchtime, 11:00 to noon, some areas of lighter rain pushing through the central bay. and then towards the evening, it looks like 6:00 through 8:00, now you start to see some lighter rain in the south bay. notice where it's falling. a weakening front needs a little extra lift to get that light rain flying. it will be on the coastal hilltops. the peninsula here and along the inland east bay hills. a little extra lift to what's left of the moisture. get us a little bit of light rain. you'll see coming up here, the rainfall projections, this time last night, looking at the monday system, was up to about a quarter inch of rain. but now you are looking at maybe less than 0.1 inch of rain. some inland spots not registering anything at all. a little good news. wet does fall. it will be relatively light and a lot of it along the coastal hilltops. temperatures tomorrow, 60s and low 70s. more clouds tomorrow. but the rainfall part of that equation seems to be pulling back a bit. 60s and 70s across the east bay. still cool and breezy in san francisco. 62 degrees, upper 60s around the north bay. and the first half of the week staying fairly cool. one more weak system to come in on wednesday. but notice here things not quite as wet as we thought earlier. this is for tomorrow into tuesday. the second half of the week, it's going to be kind of hot. especially considering the last four or five days. the 60s and low 70s for highs. next weekend, all inland spots 80s, maybe close to 90 on saturday. so there is the unofficial start to summer. it's going to arrive friday. saturday and sunday for next week. tomorrow, not as bad, though. so a little bit of good news. >> we can wait until next week, i suppose. >>

breeze and lots of low clouds. those winds inland, southwest to 20 into fairfield. take a look at the humidity numbers. the air outside is pretty saturated. up to almost 80% all across the bay area. and low clouds being forced to rise over the coastal hilltops. this is where we get our drizzle storms on the coast and peninsula. it's not going to take much to drop a little bit of drizzle or mist for tomorrow morning. now the more widespread rain has been on the north tecoast. this system is going to weaken. right now it looks impressive, but by the time it gets here, it's going to fall apart over the north bay. this is the adjustment to the forecast. tomorrow, we'll still see clouds. a lot more than we saw today. notice how the rain tries to creep into the bay area and then starts to fall apart. we will still see light rain or drizzle. you can see how most of the action stays across the coastal hilltop. and when you lose a strong frontal boundary, it's going to take a little extra lift from these coastal mountains to wring out a few light raindrops. mainly cloudy conditions. and it's actually down maybe more towards after sunset tomorrow. we'll see those shower chances highest for the south bay. 24 hours ago, the system was going to bring in a quarter inch of rain. look what's happened here. inland, not much showing up. just enough to wet the ground in a few spots. we'll see locally higher totals around the coastal range and heading into the north bay. temperatures tomorrow, cooler. more clouds outside. upper 60s to near 70 in san jose. around the trivalley, low 70s toward fairfield. upper 60s elsewhere in the bay. lots of 60s around san francisco up to santa rosa. 67 for a high tomorrow. likely to be the coolest day ahead. tuesday, brief clearing. and then an even weaker system comes in. just enough for a slight chance of showers on wednesday. after that, that might be it for any chances of rain for a while. high pressure builds back fairly strongly. one day to watch may be thursday and friday. the high builds back in giving us a taste of north winds which can make things dry and gusty at times. and a little less wind heading into next week. cloudy, cool. maybe more of a drizzle storm as opposed to any worries about downpours. so where is the best place to start a company, you ask? well, we'll show you the bay area cities with the bragging rights. and one of which just might surprise you. if you are planning to start a company, your already in the right place. theets silicon valley. but there's one bay area city you may not think about when you think high tech. our business and tech supporter skod b scott budman has the surprising story. >> reporter: it's not surprising when it comes to the best place for a start-up, san francisco and san jose top the list. silicon valley is famous for launching companies and careers at places like atrenta, a design firm with employees in cubicles, boxes stacked up in the cafeteria. it all screams start-up and they wouldn't have it any way else. >> you need talent to implement the idea and the other is infrastructure to make the company float. and this area, the san jose area is very rich in both of those. >> reporter: what may surprise you is that oakland also made the list. with companies like orb taking advantage of cool buildings, lower rent and smart people coming out of nearby schools. >> it's really starting to change. there's a group of technical companies who get together here in oakland. pandora is the big success for. but there really are scores of technology companies here in the open area. >> so let's say it here. oakland is also part of silicon valley. hip, high tech and full of talent all part of an area venture capitalists still drool over. >> silicon valley is where historically people have come and i think long-term people want to come here to see what the state of the art is and then figure out what they can do to push that state of the art further. >> absolutely. i can make five or six phone calls anywhere in a two-mile radius and find the best of the best. i can't do that anywhere else. >> reporter: all part of rapid growth and hiring in the world's hottest industry. scott budman, nbc bay area news. when we come back, the penguin who did something unexpected at a zoo, even startle something visitors. there must be something about

penguin at seaworld jumped from its water and sbrit startled onlookers. >> workers quickly surrounded the penguin until a handler could arrive and return it to the water. a guest captured part of the motion on video. the attraction is seaworld's newest and just worked on friday. perhaps the construction crew -- >> watch him go. sorry. >> perhaps the -- >> he's all stressed out. >> park officials

down this wall. >> i can hear you. >> the time for change has come. chris: a president known by a letter. in shorthand he's w. and what we know of him even now is an open question. what was his impact? who was really setting the lead? were those his hands on the wheel? or vice president cheney's? were his moves his own? or reactions to what his father did? or didn't do? father and son? did george w. bush's confidence come simply from how he was born? and what was the role of his faith which he says got him through so much? what did explain this president's success in leading the country into two wars? and finally, what w did to his party. today's republicans are
