glen believes lim was changed by his b why settling in san francisco lim didn't move to china town but built that ranch in dog patch to keep his horses and wagon. though, one historian gave glen a different theory. >> she said, you know, you need to understand that your great grandfather, your grandmother did this deliberately because it meant they understood and wanted their children to live in a different kind of america. yes, this is the picture of the last family reunion. >> reporter: that is what happened. des descendants count themselves in the 100s these days. an endless variety of life paths starting from the same point. in a sentence, what is your

back out really a short window of it but certainly a sign of changes starting to come our way. the other thing you probably noticed is a fro tch the south today, probably felt it outside. not extremely humid but enough to notice right now relative humidity at 68%, also a temperature of 68. as you move through tonight, mainly looking at that cloud cover starting to increase and temperatures dropping down to the 50s by 10:00 and 11:00. all week long, i've been talking about a storm system that's moving close to the bay area and the possibility of shower chances and what it will mean for us. i want to spend timall will be . let look at the satellite radar picture now. as we get this wide and paexpan view, you'll see this circulating, spinning. this count eer clockwise nevada is thesystem. the new update today has this moving more off to the south. so overall this is helping to

lower our chances of getting any kind of rainfall with the main storm track over central and also southern california. so let get a current look at the radar now. you can see the heaviest of the rainfall is there across the sier sierra. there is a slim chance we could see some moving into the bay area tonight at 11:30. the possibility of spotty showers but the trend as you see into tomorrow morning takes the bulk of the wet weather and pushes it down towards central and southern california with a spotty chance at 7:00 in the morning right near the south bay and maybe up towards san francisco. it continues to look very similar as we hit 10:00 tomorrow morning with a slight chance for the south bay but heavier rainfall towards southern california. another way to look at those rain chances through tomorrow is take a look at my rainfall estimate forecast. this will spell it out. you'll see across gilroy, looking at .1 but bakersfield .85. again, the more south you go

tomorrow, if you're heading ochoenochn a trip, the better chance of rainfall here in california. tomorrow, mainly going to be dry with the best possibility, spotty showers down to the south bay and early clouds and temperatures in the low to mid 50s and right here across the east bay, san francisco and north bay we'll have more 50s coming back and those low clouds. we'll have sunshine by the afternoon. you'll see in san francisco we'll warm up to 62. we're dry through this weekend then clouds increase by next tuesday and wednesday and possibly a few more shos f im 75 on friday up to 77 on sunday and you can see as we move through next week, we have showers possible again as we head into next week. so still several changes over the next seven-days but it still looks good. >> really nice outside. >> perfect. >> thanks, jeff. up next at 5:00, amazon flying into the moon.
