we're still looking at some light sprinkles on the bay bridge as well as in san francisco, south san francisco down through pacifica and daly city. but definitely the most widespread of rainfall is for the south bay right now and about to be working its way more and more so on into san jose. so the direction that this system is really taking is steering this line of showers right here gradually to the south and east and that means areas like san jose can expect rainfall intensity to increase here in about 20 minutes. i know that in the south bay, you've been sitting out at least the heavier intensity rainfall for much of the evening but is definitely going to be seeing picking up in your neck of the woods. here shortly. as for the dumbarton bridge is actively raining. so as you make that crossing from palo alto over to fremont be mindful of wet conditions there. highway 92 is also very wet. having seen saw that rainfall over the past hour or so. and as well as highway one. oh, one highway 2.80, is 82 as you cross across the lower end of the peninsula into the south bay. some wet conditions
