And yes, some chances of rainfall later on today, well stay dry through the morning into early afternoon but Late Afternoon into the evening tonight is our best opportunity to start picking up on some moisture here this is 08 00pm right here in looking at a good chance of showers across the bay also noticing that blew up in the Sierra Nevada that snowfall and our winter storm warning taking effect today as that snowfall settles in so into early tomorrow morning still a few lingering showers across the bay we see overall drying conditions for your day tomorrow so saturday really is the best day this weekend to step outside. But despite a drying out in clearing up that doesnt mean temperatures will be any warmer with the cooler air mass in place, daytime highs will remain just as cool in the upper 50s to low 60s for your saturday sunday, a couple of showers possible not looking quite as much as what were going to be seeing later on today, snowfall really piling up in the Sierra Nevada come sunday though, and monday we all drive back out to start your next work week staying cool though, as for rainfall potential in the bay area looking at anywhere from a 10th to a quarter of an inch of rainfall for most areas, lighter amounts the further north and the baby get so unlike most of our systems that we saw last season it will be the north bay that seizure, lighter amounts and some of our south bay areas like the Santa Cruz Mountains thats expecting the most rainfall from the system as for the Sierra Nevada looking at multiple inches of snowfall to multiple feet once you get to the crest of this year thats very highest of elevations. Well see snowfall starting to pile up later on today and then especially sunday looking like the snowiest one up there so if you are heading up into the sierra make sure to have those chains in hand.
