again all the way through sunday and on monday we will do it again. there will be a second system that comes through on monday and gives us another round of fairly steady, on-again off- again rain. i tuesday changes, not completely out of the rain business on tuesday but for to say to be more isolated, may be the occasional pop up thunderstorm on tuesday. four right now, the overwhelming issue is the amount of rain coming for sunday and monday and the wind that will go along with us. if you look at the rainfall totals, we pick up an engine to have for sunday and monday in total. that takes us to tuesday morning. the whole two day period, that is a pretty good rainfall totals. they are heavier down here in the south bay. the system will kind of stall over the santa cruz mountains for a time and deliver heavier amounts of rain to the burn scar. and it will also be somewhat windier in the santa cruz mountains and in the south bay on the east bay shoreline. that is why does not include the north bay but does include the rest of the bay area. that goes pretty much from 4:00

tomorrow morning until 7:00 on monday. that's enough to break a branch of a tree, maybe get some localized power outages. as far as the snow goes, this is excellent news everything about this is it will be cold enough that it snows down to 3500 feet making any child nightmares of the winter storm warning goes from 10:00 already went into effect in our go come does not expire until tuesday night at 10:00. very difficult travel for anyone trying to get across the sierra in that window. there is another system. wednesday night into thursday, that will be colder than this one and we will see morning lows here in the bay area dip down into the low 30s and it will be, this morning was the coldest morning we had so far. probably going to be colder than that by the time we get to thursday and friday.

morning close tomorrow are much better because of all the clouds it will stay warm in the overnight hours and the daytime highs don't really get a whole lot warmer. it is difficult to tell, mid- 40s to the low to mid 50s for daytime highs and of the seven- day forecast it looks like a mess that we now know the highlight is the sunday, monday rain and again, wednesday night into thursday and we get away. then you see that same story plan for our microclimates as well, going to be busy around here for about the next six days. we have a lot of sports to get two. sharks look good down in san jose. highlights of at the comes, pleasant update on debo samuel. good news for the 49ers but all eyes continue to be on steph curry for a record that we know he is going to break. the question is when. diddy hit what he needed in philly and why do we keep teasing

he gets it from staff, and a little -- flips it up and then. there it is. i don't know why i have so much energy here because philadelphia was the winner. 102-93, and a season-low endpoints of the warriors. that happens to the nba. he now needs a seven threes to break the nba record. the chase continues monday at indiana. we can bring the energy up for this one because the sharks look good. to the eyes they were hosting the stars, former captain, he received a standing ovation. they fire and look at this, thomas hurdle, right place, right time, six goals on the last four games, still 1-0, eric carlson slaps a bullet for some string music. they hang on to win it to-one behind 31 saves from james reimer. they have 15 of their last

team they play probably scores but that is probably a five- star corner chasing him down, inside the five, with the chance, they could not punch it in, stuffed at the goal line on the final play of the half as the horn sounds. they will 44-7 dural, only state championship for a very likely national title as well. the wilcox chargers from santa clara were down 21-0 two -- from san diego. they rallied back to his left. waltzes in, chargers have the lead, 22-24. 30 seconds left, the 10 yard line, screen pass, dean paley finds open space and he finds the end zone for the game- winning touchdown. 31-28. they are victorious. show we showed in two games of the teams that lost. great day for the other bay area schools playing in the
