that's going to make it really nice for us. we're going start it off just a little bit cooler here for tomorrow morning. plenty of 40s for the south bay peninsula and the tri-valley. right here over the north bay down to 43, and san francisco at 49. now i don't really see any big differences in the temperatures tomorrow. it's going to stay pretty much the same as we had today as we roll through your saturday forecast. 69 in santa rosa. 71 in napa. 71 in concord. over to san jose 67. maybe you're headed to san francisco and chinatown. expect temperature there's in the low 60s. so make sure to have that jacket. i do see winds picking up a little bit here, 15 to 30 miles per hour. but overall i'm calling for tomorrow to be the best day to be outside because we've got some changes coming in as we hit sunday's forecast. i've been telling you about this all week to make sure you were ready. we're not looking at any kind of major, major heavy rainfall that would last for days. but it's going to be a system that's going to sit and linger for sunday, monday, and tuesday of next week. it's going to give us a reinforcing shot of cold air. a chance here for showers and

also that wind picking up on and off. so as the timeline goes on this right now, again, we're dry on saturday's forecast. then as we hit sunday, if you've got any plans in the morning with mom there for mother's day, 7:30 in the morning, most of us are dry here with sun to start. but you see that rainfall lining up near guerneville. i do think it hits the north bay around 9:30 in the morning. the east bay at 10:30. and we hold up for showers in the south bay by 11:30 in the morning. as you roll through the afternoon, we'll keep a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms. possibility over the north bay. we'll get some sunshine mixing in mother's day. but be ready for the chance here of rain. overall totals pretty light. trace amounts about 0.2 from sunday into tuesday. sierra snow, this is going to be the major headline. do not get caught offguard. if you're headed up there this weekend, sunday and monday from 4 to 12 inches expected. snow levels could go down as low as 2500 feet. so on and off rain chances sunday, monday and tuesday. 50s in san francisco as that

system arrives. and for the inland valley, 64 sunday. down to 60 on tuesday. so i've got an idea for the asian pacific heritage month. maybe we take mom to chinatown in san francisco. who the doesn't love chinese food? >> go to the museum. >> good idea. >> support all the local businesses. >> thanks, jeff. up next, guess who is back in town. buster. how the giants plan to celebrate their recently retired catcher. stay with us.
