Sunny day out there today were tracking a couple chances of rain as we approach the weekend will bring in cuyler announced we can time all that out for us. Yeah. Got to get ready for the weekend. Its friday eve after all. Haha. All right. Lets take a live look outside. Its been a saturday will start cloudy, but then well start to look a little better as we get into saturday afternoon and your sunday looking pretty good. So weve seen this a few times or the successive fronts of rolled through the first will be friday night. So that brings that slight north bay shower chance. The second one will be on monday and that again brings a slight rain chance. But the other thing is it kind of reinforces some cooler air that comes in behind it. So as far as rain totals are concerned, its not going to impressive. So thats the first one. You can see, you know, San Francisco to 107 inch, maybe a little bit more than that in the north bay. But thats about it. The second hit of rain on monday doesnt add a whole lot to that a little bit more if you are, you know, up in eureka, theyre going to get some more meaningful rain. But for us, it will be very similar to what weve gotten in the last week or so. We get tiny little hit. So as we roll through here we are at the end of these fronts, right . So the question is whether or not they hold together when they come through here. So theres your friday night and saturday and here comes your monday one. So equally kind of not terrifically impressive. It looks like we had a little but not a whole lot. And then we get some clearing as we get into next week. So what it does do is kind of allow our temperatures to fluctuate a little bit. So obviously, a day like today, were looking at our inland valleys where theyre looking out for those low 80s. But by tomorrow we bring the clouds and were going to drop it down. Same story on saturday until we start to clear can you get the idea on and then once we passed that next front by itll also cool us down a little bit. So temperatures are looking pretty good right now with some of those low 80s out in the inner east
