the pacific northwest, but the rain up here isn't making it down here yet. there's a good reason. very strong area of high pressure is shoving and muscling all that rainfall keeping it up north. every storm system that wants to dig down in the bay area is not getting that chance yet because of that ridge and the next storm that moves in thursday and friday will not get that chance. the rain may cross the california/oregon border, but it's not going to make it here. the next storm most likely will be next week. as a matter of fact, we'll be sunny through thursday, a little cooler friday in the 60s and cooler into the weekend, but that pattern change with much needed rainfall will not get here until next week. highs for your tuesday livermore 72, shows 70, freemont -- san jose 70, freemont 66, san ramon mid-60s, san rafael 70, petaluma 72, clovedale 74 degrees with
