and snow, but we're talking about a series of storms as i just showed you across the pacific. so let's go through each one of those. this is the storm system that moves through tuesday night into wednesday. wednesday morning expect a messy commute. and then the system moves out by wednesday night. we'll get a little bit of a break by thursday, but not much. thursday night that next system moves into the bay area. and for some of us we're not going to catch a break between thursday's system and friday and saturday's system. so for places like the north bay and san francisco, it may rain for three days in a row. and you know what that means when we get rain just consistently for days in a row, we're talking about inches of rain. yeah, look at the colors here on the bar. you'll notice 1.5 for north bay, san francisco down through the peninsula, even parts of the south bay. and maybe lesser amounts for the tri-valley but does look like overall most of us will pick up at least an inch out of the first system and then another inch possible for that last system as it moves through frida

looking at that. another storm churning in the pacific. and it is headed our way. >> yes. we're making weekend plans with some more rain on the way. as we take a live look now at mt. diablo we have quite a few low clouds hovering over parts of the bay area, but also the sun peeking through. as the storm approaches we will continue to see the clouds increasing and some spotty light showers moving in, which is pretty much what we've seen all throughout the morning. here's a look at the futurecast and how you plan out the friday evening. we start to see the rain moving into the north baby 5:00 this evening. that may impact some of the latter parts of the evening commute. and then it starts to move into san francisco later on tonight. the rest of the bay area will see that rain late tonight and into the start of the day tomorrow. it does get heavier right before sunrise before a lot of this moisture rolls off to the east and we will still have a few lingering showers throughout the morning on saturday, but it looks to clear out during the afternoon. after that moves through we're getting r

next storm system, and it looks like a fairly large one out in the pacific. and this is the way they've been lining up all throughout the week. so we are on our third looking toward the fourth. and there will be several more right behind that as we go into next week. and a look at the futurecast. it still shows a little bit of some moisture moving through this afternoon. and mainly in the hilltops. now, into tonight mostly clear. and then here comes the rain again as we go into tomorrow afternoon into the evening some heavier downpours likely as we go into saturday morning. now, this should not linger all day. we will see that sweeping off to the east and then the sun returns as we go into saturday afternoon and sunday. as we go hour by hour today in san jose, we can still see those clouds here and there and the sun peeking out. high temperatures reaching into the mid-50s. and later on tonight more  clouds, but it will be a chilly one. and in some spots it will be clearing out. into the weekend we're getting ready for more rain, but this one doesn't look as high as what we've

in here tomorrow afternoon and evening. there it is getting its act together on the pacific and on the heels of that one another fast moving storm system that's going to move in friday into saturday. so we'll time out the first storm system for you right now and you'll notice again as this system pushes out we'll see very spotty hit and miss activity through the rest of the afternoon. then tomorrow we'll start out dry but by the afternoon showers by 3:00, some in the north bay few embedded with heavier pockets like seeing yellows and oranges there. again, by tomorrow night once the sun goes down the evening rush hour is going to be wet. we're talking about maybe the o potential of a tenth inch, quarter of an inch at most. for the next system pushes in friday afternoon. this is how much we're expecting in terms of rainfall with the first system. about a tenth to a quarter of an inch. that will probably do it. we may get half an inch in the north bay, but i don't think this is going to be a big system by any means. not going to produce as much wined e wind as we saw this morning. we

[ applause ] -- that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. i have a dream -- [ cheers and applause ] >> that's still so moving today. >> yes, it is. >>> up next at 11:00, what goes up must come down. but in the case of the spacex rocket, it didn't come down exactly as intended. the cheeky response elon musk had for that landing. >>> i'm meteorologist kari hall as we take a live look at all of our microclimates.

the clouds very extensive. it's been raining across the pacific northwest all morning long. for us, that will be our general trend tomorrow. we're looking at sunshine right now across the south bay. 58 there. the peninsula at 54. same for the east bay. san francisco, you're starting to see high, thin clouds fill in. across the north bay, skies already mostly cloudy. that's where we'll have the best chance of rain all day and then the rest of us will see the showery activity into the overnight hours. the forecast does bring san jose back up to 62. 63 for sunnyvale. the closer you get to san francisco later on this afternoon, we'll see more cloud cover. so again, turning cloudy from the embarcardero towards ocean beach. the north bay, that's where we'll have the best chance of seeing any showers today. then the rain will arrive for the rest of us tonight. mill valley, 58 later this afternoon. 56 for oakland. and low 60s today for the tri-valley. just a touch warmer than it was yesterday. we have three sorm systems headed our way. another one heads our way thursday night and then anot
