for the elementary school has no heat. the trouble is that holberg ridge academy in concord. the school has responded by putting portable space heaters in classrooms. the summer heat wave broke the heating and cooling system and the school has yet to fix it. some parents are angry with the situation and are frustrated with delayed response and see the temporary solution as a danger to students.

than 5 1/2 inches of snow overnight, they say they are expecting another 20 to 30 inches today and even more this weekend but even though the rain has stopped here, paul, it is still falling up there. >> flying up in parts of the bay area. you go for enough south and southeast, there is still rain falling at the moment which will wind down here for the next couple of hours. we will driver tomorrow to get more rain for us. without the torrential downpour's and gusty wind. this is even better. the goldilocks rain which is exactly what we need. we will check it all out on future cost, let's look at the big picture perspective first, and show you the system driving the rain further and further east. i will show you the up-close radar in just a moment, but, the leading edge of the cold air will settle in tonight, basically acting like a squeegee and pushing this moisture further and further east. squeezing even more snow over the high sierra. we will look at the radar loop for a moment, we take a look at the last of the showers falling into the clark county right now. a few more showers are trying to make a run in from the north, so we cannot rule out a passing shower with a couple of speckles here over the next few hours. in large part, half an inch of total rainfall, to the santa cruz mountains. cool all day tomorrow . clouds certificate tomorrow. this wave will most likely miss us to the southeast by late tomorrow night into saturday morning. there are other forecast models, one didn't quite trust as much, sending that towards the bay area, it remains within the realm of possibility that this is the more likely scenario, that first wave of moisture misses us, but the storm system approaching from the west will borrow that moisture and send it up to us by saturday afternoon and evening, giving way to a better chance of rain late saturday night into early sunday morning. that will roll in from the west. again, it looks pretty impressive on the radar simulation. this will not be a repeat of those 30 to 45 mile-per-hour wind gust we had early the morning. the rain will come down over a brief period of time but it will move through quickly and we get a break in the action. this will be the pattern over the weekend, we will see some scattered showers, periods of brief and heavy downpour some of the than a little break where the sun shows through before showers develop and rollback in. be flexible without our plans this weekend. it is really tough to pin down exactly when the breaks in the action are going to occur. makes let's ability with any plans you have, should plan are we talking? up to a quarter inch on sunday, significantly less than we picked up this morning, maybe up to half an inch in the santa cruz mountains. that more will fall sunday night into monday. for now, the winter storm warning continues in the high sierra through midnight, tonight. the potential for the highest peaks picking up another 1 1/2 feet of snow , in general 4 to 8 inches, and possible travel conditions on u.s. i-80. the wind will be a significant factor and the next storm system bringing rain to us will bring a winter storm to them, more snow with a winter storm watch in effect from friday evening through sunday, talking about 3 feet of snow above 7000 feet in elevation and travel will be mostly impossible. outside, a beautiful post storm sunset, temperatures are cool already, middle and upper 40s to around 50 degrees and it will be cold out by early tomorrow morning. low temperatures in the north bay dropping into the middle and upper 20s. other temperatures bottoming out in the lower 30s and middle and upper 30s around the bay and along the coast, which is cold enough, but it is chilly enough for a freeze warning in effect for the santa clara kills. eastern santa clara county, and most of the north bay, where temperatures are in the middle and upper 20s to around 30 degrees but if you have any plans that survived frosty conditions we have had multiple times this year, and those inside, you may have already lost them. make sure will have a warm place to snuggle up for the next couple of nights. temperatures that one much, there is only so much warming we can do with shorter daylight hours and a low sun angle in the month of december, some temperatures will end up 5 to 10 degrees below average but most of us in the middle 50s in the next chance for showers to roll in this weekend, this is not going to be torrential, it will not rain everywhere all the time, it is just an unsettled pattern that demands maximum flex ability with your plans which will continue into monday, and then we drive out of it tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. even once we try out, temperatures are still going to run several degrees below average for the foreseeable future, and definitely it feels like december. >> this is good news, there. >> overall, yes. we could have done without the wind damage and vocalized flooding but we definitely need the rain and we definitely need more rain. >> thanks, paul. sharing food for bay area families this holiday season. we will tell you the story of a peninsula man who fulfills a
