But that is not all. There is also some high surf as you can see behind me. Waves expected to be as high as 20 feet. With people coming, you know, from out of town for the Holiday Weekend there is a warning for people to stay out of the water or just to be cautious of those high waves. The water is expected to be cold about 5 degrees. The good news is that those large waves, those 20foot waves, arent accessible to beachgoers. They are going to be in spots right off the shore like the famous mavericks surfing spot, not far from where im standing. But you can expect waves to be an average of 9 to 11 feet here along the coast throughout the day. Back to you guys. Thank you. In the weather center, we are tracking rain on hidef doppler. The front is moving through right now. You can see it here continuing to head southeast throughout the morning. We will see continuing showers behind this front. But that will i think well be seeing the heaviest rainfall here over the next couple of hours. So lets take a look at where some of the heaviest rainfall is right now. As we take a look at the north bay, really santa rosa, rohnert park, petaluma, just got hammered as the front passed through. Now youre seeing the lighter rain behind it with the front moving east, napa, american canyon, vallejo, seeing heavy rainfall right now. Farther south the peninsula, moderate to heavy rain from San Francisco through daly city, san mateo heavier rainfall here over the next 20 minutes or so. And then all this is continuing to push east. So we are seeing pockets of notice here this area of red here, heavy rainfall here. Pockets of heavy rain in the east bay along 680 this morning, 24, we are going to continue to see these downpours here as the front passes through over the next couple of hours and if you are heading to the high country going to visit family today, notice this. We have very low snow levels. In fact, down just above Pollock Pines right now this temperatures continue to drop with the cold air mass in place. Well see lower snow levels i think even tomorrow although well lose some of the moisture that we are seeing. Snow will continue likely. Grass valley we are seeing snow levels above grass valley as well and then certainly starting to see the snow into truckee, tahoe and south lake tahoe. Winter storm warning is in effect for today through saturday even though the showers will die down by the end of the day today well continue to see some snow up in the sierra. So current temperatures are mild compared to this time yesterday. But overall, cold is the story in terms of temperatures for the weekend. So 45 right now in santa rosa. 53 in san jose. 59 concord. Oakland at 50. This is primarily because we dont have clear skies. So were starting off a little warmer thanks to that cloud cover. Speaking of which, heres the source of all that cloud cover. Area of low pressure that spun that front our way, notice this popcornlike cloud structure indicative of a cold air mass, likely unstable later today, leading to the possibility of some thunderstorms. So here we have the front right now passing through the heaviest rain the highest wind. Weather continue to see rain behind the front. I pause it here about 11 a. M. If you are hitting the roads, do anticipate showers to continue for much of the day. Later on this afternoon, early evening, going to keep the possibility of some thunderstorms in the forecast because of that unstable air mass. And then we die down, showers start to to taper off overnight into saturday morning, lingering showers on saturday. Overall saturday looks dry even more so into sunday. I think the weather headline saturday into sunday is going to be cold temperatures. In fact, i think we might see some freezing temperatures as santa is getting ready to deliver those presents overnight saturday into sunday. The first day of chanukah tomorrow, saturday, second day sunday, it is going to be cold both those days. How much rain are we going to see in the meantime . Well, we looking at anywhere between a half inch to an inch up in the north bay. Threequarters to 1. 5 in the Santa Cruz Mountains and up to threequarters inch possible in the east bay. But were talking pocket where we see those heavy downpours. The deal with this system is its fastmoving. The heaviest rain will move through quickly. Its not going to stall. So we are not going to see huge rainfall totals but still pretty impressive a lot of rain in a short amount of time. A wet start to your day with gusty winds thats what to expect out the door this morning. Showers will continue into the afternoon, possibility of some thunderstorms. And then mainly dry weekend but we are staying chilly with the possibility of some freezing temperatures overnight. Your tahoe report, kirkwood Current Conditions snow beginning there.
