6:47 pm
hitting the golden gate by tomorrow morning. san francisco with the first rain since the last we have been april. tonight cloudy. only 58 in fairfield. that's a mild night for you. redwood city 56 degrees. satellite-radar review this is a potent storm. the actual low pressure center will stay west of british columbia. but dragging all the way down is a cold front that is digging farther to the south than most fronts do this time of year. there's nothing blocking it so it has kind of free access if you will into northern california. it's already in far northern california. could be in your backyard by tomorrow morning. futurecast 2 a.m. showers even some steady rainfall along the sonoma coastline. look how quickly it moves in. this is a change from yesterday. vein to the golden gate and the i-80 corridor -- rain is to the golden gate and the i-80 corridor by 7 a.m. tomorrow. it doesn't take much to slow down the commute and it will be very slow and sloppy even with just some light rain showers tomorrow morning. but since it's arriving early it's leaving earlier.
6:48 pm
by 3 or 4:00 all the showers are gone still cloudy sunshine returns by tomorrow but behind that front it's not going to be warm. we'll have three chilly days up to 15 degrees cooler than average as we roll through the weekend. rainfall totals our computers predicting about one eighth of one inch of rain for san francisco. the numbers go up as you go north and down as you go south. not much rain is expected. that's about our average monthly rainfall in san francisco for all of june. we may receive it tomorrow. so light rain overnight in the north bay. the rest of us get showers tomorrow. likely showers for the morning commute around san francisco and oakland. and then after that, we are dry but chilly. friday, saturday and sunday. even tomorrow will be well below average.
6:49 pm
>> friday barely in the low 70s inland and won't get there on the weekend. temperatures near the water normal. inland about 12 degrees below average not returning to sunshine mostly sunny skies not until monday. 80s not returning until tuesday. so if you combine june and january, you get this phrase called "june-uary." that's what's going to be like around here for the next four days. "june-uary." >> i like that.
