problems actually, but i think the gutters had been cleaned out because from the last couple storms we've had, it's been pretty wet in the city. they've had a pretty good run of rain, more rain coming. it looks like on sunday i'll show you that. coming up, live camera outside, scattered showers kind of on and off. tonight we had some good heavy rain in san jose about an hour ago. that's going to go kind of kind of hit and miss tonight. and then tomorrow some of it goes through. there might be a scattered shower. kind of like see how it looks now. that's right. now that's not the model. it's kind of this kind of move right. so you see that. you see all the how widely scattered and not organized it is. so there's instability out there in the potential like now exists for this kind of a thing for some scattered showers and even perhaps a thunder shower. we did have we did have a couple today. here's what the model wants to do. there's tomorrow morning. there's tomorrow afternoon soon or tomorrow evening. so you see, and this that's interesting. that could be something, right? that could be a little thunder cell if that transpired. and then saturday morning, saturday afternoon. and then here comes the deal. this guy down here starts to work his way north and that is very interesting. this
