>>and back here at home we turn our attention to our bay area forecast as we take a live look outside this is a look at the ohio highway 24 in walnut creek. you can see i'm not sure if that's the just the way that we're seeing the screen the transmission of the image or if it's just windy out there looks like it's actually just the image. we are expecting some rain tomorrow and friday a little bit of a roller coaster this week with sun and rain we've got eric cantor is standing by she joins us in the weather center erica got excited. i thought that was wind looking at the winds and it's actually pretty light out there and from most of the bay area right now we don't to worry about when says next couple of days taking in on the sonny bill actually just saw people riding their bikes a moment ago. >>and taking a little hike so people are really taking advantage of the dry weather that we're seeing today a high temperatures tomorrow will be pretty normal for this time of year, but we are going to see rain. this is around 3 o'clock san francisco seeing some light showers less than a quarter of an inch of rain this is a weak system that

we're going to see tomorrow along the coast looking at mid 50's 56 and half moon bay, the peninsula will also see some light showers tomorrow around lunchtime in the early afternoon hours. >>how out or looking at 60 tomorrow for daytime highs out in the south bay chances don't look too good of seeing rain tomorrow but our high temperatures will be in the lower 60's out and said no we're looking at 61 dublin 60 walnut creek will see some light showers moving through we're looking at 59 tomorrow, so have their umbrellas in hand if you're going to be running. errands tomorrow around lunchtime fairfield 56 for daytime highs and the north bay is actually going to get the most rain from the system but less than an inch of rain so not as much as what we saw yesterday and then look ahead at the upcoming week we have another chance for seeing a showers there thursday night after 11:00pm and then the early morning hours friday like around 02:00am that's when the center of that system

will hit the bay area a lot of you will be sleeping by the time you wake up if you're up at around 08:00am that's when it's going to start to dry up on friday the afternoon looks to be dry for us here in the bay area and through the weekend as high pressure will be belting son thank you erica, >>now on the peninsula police and palo alto are looking for a man who exposed to a 12 year-old girl. police have released this sketch of the suspect and they say it happened on sunday on driftwood drive. the girl was riding her bike when a car pulled up beside her she stopped and asked the driver she stopped and that's when the driver rather ask for directions and that's when he exposed himself. the girl ran away and told her parents she says the man was driving a silver toyota sedan with an h the letter h in the license plates. a quick break and

>>and if you love dogs stuff doing and sit down because we've got some adorable to show you this the american kennel club just named a new dog the dog that you see on your screen is called the beaver terrier now it's similar to a your kids looks like a yorkie haha really nice bali eyes. the dog is long hair and it weighs of between 4, 8, pounds and they can live to be 16 years of age look at that they're brat black brown why i mean i love it. this is

the 197 breed recognized by the american kennel club. >>and now the dogs are eligible to compete for best in show. was wonder how they come up with new breeds are these breeds that just kind of come to be after bringing so many brings together is just you know so that is kind of popped up something we're going to have to look you can see here at kron 4. >>san francisco has been named the number one city to live in without a car the company along starters says. >>they compared america's 150 biggest cities for things like walk ability, public transit and weather. portland oregon and washington dc boston, massachusetts and new york new york round out the top 5 with oakland coming in at number 7. >>and check this santa rosa also made the top 20. coming in at number 18 i can tell you los angeles definitely not on that list. now before we sign off here at 3 one we're going to take one more check on our forecast with erica caturay hi

erica. >>i sanaa's well this morning we saw some dense fog but it has since diminished if we check in along the coast pacifica looking clear we are seeing some blue out there and some bloke cumulus clouds moving through the area if you're going to be by the coast careful for those waves the sneaker waves we're seeing breaking waves up to 30 feet we have that high surf advisory still in effect through the rest of today into tonight so. >>we are going to see an increase in our cloud cover this is tomorrow morning around 07:00am as you can see on futurecast and then we see next round of rain moving through sonoma county after 11:00am is when we're going to see it head and then it shifts down to the southeast the rest the bay area will see some in a san francisco, the peninsula and parts of the east bay but this system is weekend breaks apart by the time it gets to the south bay. so if you're

out in san jose might not even see the showers just that thick cloud cover and then around wednesday it dries up we will see some drizzle maybe along the coast. a thursday looks like it will be a mostly sunny until later in the night when we will see an increase cloud cover and then our second round of rain will hit again in the same direction here it hits the north bay first and ships down to the southeast and then san francisco will see some light showers early friday morning we're talking about 01:02am, is when we're going to see most of it ahead and then tries up later in the morning around 8 o'clock. so still in a severe drought as you know it's not going to really help us the next round of showers that we're going to this week but hopefully in the next couple months we can make up because we're not even halfway where we should be for this time of the year in terms rain amounts. so here is a last

look at our high temperatures for tomorrow pretty much normal for this time of year 59 in oakland at 56 for daytime high out in half moon bay this weekend sanaa's it is going to be dry if you're planning to go on hike or what not you know out biking i saw people today out in sunnyvale so that so we can expect the upcoming week. thank you erica, that wraps up kron 4 news at 3 our coverage continues at the top of the hour. >>stern let me tell you something,
