patch here, i don't think we're going to see a lot of sun. and if we do, the problem is when you have that daytime heating, it just fills back up again in the sky. so that's problem area, futurecast for as we march forward here to see that break. i just mentioned as we approach around the noon hour, looks like we're getting it starts to subside a bit. maybe in some patches of sun and there which only fills in with a little bit more in the way the few spotty showers working in here as we go into the evening hours. then tomorrow morning, it looks like a line just to greet us. before we get a break sunday afternoon again watching the futurecast rainfall totals. this again stopped at about 7.30. there's the coverage. but yet another dose happening as we get into later and the overnight until get to sunday morning. there you see a little bit better coverage. looks like it's favoring down alameda county in the south bay a bit, not as much up in the north of that second little wave. as i mentioned earlier, the wind. so going to be with us just about all day, that advisory goes only until noon, but even in the afternoon, quite breezy, all the arrows pointing from the south. so
