Youre in downtown san jose, though, you are already seeing those winds start to pick up and thats because with the arrival of this system, we are tracking breezy so windy conditions throughout the majority of the day. Already seeing some rain out in the peninsula, the north bay, San Francisco, also already saw some rain and those temperatures are off to a nice cool start, which is a nice change, because weve been fairly warm. Here is a live look right now in the north bay, also seeing some showers, 53 degrees and overall our highs for today are going to be pretty good. Theyre going to remain in the 60s, satellite radar showing a lot of heavy downpours as we head into the later part of the evening but in terms of those highs for today, lets take a look at your hour by hour forecast. By 11 30 a. M. T south bay is going to have a better chance of seeing some rainfall for the majority of the morning, its going to stick to the north bay and into the evening overnight hours, that rain is going to shift into widespread scattered showers, which is going to be a little bit lighter into the overnight hours and into early sunday morning. By sunday morning, Early Morning commuters could be seeing a good chance of some pretty decent heavy rainfall as they head into the later part of the sunday evening, well, it should be clearing out. But look at this. By 8 30, 8 00 in the morning, its really going to start coming down across the majority of the bay area out near san jose, really seeing some rain where you see the yellow and the red, thats where theyre going to see the heaviest of rainfall. Walnut creek also expecting some pretty decent rainfall but by sunday at about 5 00, the majority of that storm system does clear out and whats left behind is majority cloud cover, which is great if you had evening plans. Now, in terms of estimated rain totals, well, the south bay is expecting about a half inch of rain, palo alto, san jose, out near the north bay, a bit over 1 inch through sunday. Were expecting that second storm system to arrive and that is going to increase our rain totals. Overall, though, we should be sticking to about 1 2 inch of rain, just over 1 inch in the north bay. N now, with this storm system, we are tracking those breezy to windy conditions. You may have noticed it is starting to cool off and there is currently a wind advisory that is in effect until 6 00 in the afternoon. The north bay has already seen some pretty strong gusts between 30 to 35, 40 Miles Per Hour, and we are expecting these winds to stick around through the early evening afternoon as well. So, if you are going to be outdoors or if you have any outdoor Patio Furniture, this may be a good time to kind of, you know, tie those down. Now, we are also expecting a High Surf Advisory but this is actually going to take effect into tomorrow, so sunday morning, into sunday evening is when this will be taken into effect so if you had plans to head out to the beach tomorrow, you may want to hold back on that and take extra precaution because we are expecting some pretty tall waves out there. Over the next seven days, were seeing a couple changes in the forecast, more rain on the way so in addition to the rainfall were tracking today, by monday, we could also see that rain carry over into the start of your workweek with about 61 degrees. By tuesday, were going to catch a break in the rain and on wednesday, were tracking the possibility of another storm system that may bring additional rain across parts of the bay area. So, todays biggest impacts, though, is going to be that rain, turning widespread, then shifting to scattered by midday, evening, afternoon, and of course that very strong wind so if you are going to be outdoors or on the road, please be extra careful out there and ill send things back to you.
