It wont be as exciting as today, but it is coming from the Actual Center of the storm right here. What we got today was the leading edge of showers. That is where the more impressive stuff is, that is to the south. We will miss out on most of that. Monday, some of that gets pulled our way and there is a chance for rain on monday. I will go over that in more detail in the forecast. In the meantime, here is how you did today. Anywhere from a 10th of an inch of rain to 2 10 of an inch of rain. Santa fe, i hope we updated your number and you are not the top. I will see you and the rest of the forecast with just a bit. Back to you. A young boy was killed while riding his bike in palo alto.

Reporter Emergency Rooms are preparing for an onslaught and doctors are trying to calm the coronavirus hysteria. The key is limiting exposures to contain it as much as you can. Reporter the doctor says many people who are infected by covid19 or coronavirus will feel like they have the regular flu. At this point we recommend you stay home. If you feel well enough and you arent having symptoms, ideally we encourage people to stay home. Reporter among those staying home and self quarantining in l. A. , dennis angel.

The density of the housing would depend on the location. Lowdensity residential areas would be limited to 40 units. In a statement, senator wiener said churches and other institutions often have land to spare and they should be able to use that land to build Affordable Housing and further their mission. A lot later tomorrow morning, we spring forward tonight. But one lawmaker says it is about time for a real change. Reporter nearly rte riou clocks forward in the spring and back in the fall.

Amid concerns of what would happen if california was out of sync with trade partners like mexico and canada and neighboring and nearby states like oregon and washington. I hope that we will be able to get the bill out of committee and take a vote on the floor sometime this year. Reporter the getting the approval of state lawmakers is step one. Congress would still have to sign off on the change and until either of those things happen, californians will just have to adjust to the loss of a precious hour of sleep. In San Francisco, devin fehely, kpix 5. When we wake up tomorrow, are we going to see rain . Not tomorrow, monday. The next system gets here on monday. I will spotlight that in more detail. First, for something completely different, look at the snow in the cre sierra. This is i80 at donner pass. For those in the mountains, do be aware there is a Winter Weather advisory. That is one of the issues we will spotlight here. All of the areas in blue are included in it and that went into effect at 9 00 this morning. Stays in effect until 10 00 tonight. Chains have been required in the past. Look at tomorrow. Snow. It is nice to see these numbers. We need many more storms like this to dig out of the debt we in february, in meantime it is have snow in the sierra. Back at home, since i just showed you the snow, i will stay on the theme of cold. That will be the next aspect of this for us at home in the bay area. Its not bad now, in the mid 50s. As the clouds clear out tonight, temperatures are going to bottom out and we will see colder overnight lows. Those were the daytime highs today. A pretty view to the east. Tomorrow morning, under these clear skies, it is a color coded map. The deeper the blue, the colder it will be. It is the north bay where we see the deepest shades of blue. Back down into the 30s for santa rosa. 39 in san jose. Maybe not as cold as santa rosa, but still cold. The take away from this map is if you are around the edges, the valleys, inland, and far into Santa Clara County, the colder it will be. If you have direct influence from the bay it wont be all that cold. That is very typical for the way this works. Lets talk about the next chance of rain that we spotlighted at the top of the newscast. While we do miss out on the bulk of that storm, most of it is going to southern california, lets go home and play that through one more time. Keep your eye to the south bay. That gets us ahead to monday morning. A few showers will rotate into the bay area and take us through the first half of the day on monday. We could see anywhere from a quarter of an inch of rain in the south bay, mainly monday morning. Cant rule out the chance of a shower or two from that lingering into the evening. The forecast with that storm has wobbled around a bit over the last 24 hours. Plan on rain monday. Most likely in the morning, but it could linger into the evening and we will be done after that. After that system passes monday, we go right back to sunny and mid70s for many inland locations. Sunnthe week. Then yes there is another small chance of rain on saturday.
