monday. this is the second of four weekend closures on 37 to repair and replace existing pavement. the eastbound direction of 37 will be shut down the first two weekends of may. >> there's new video of a tornado sweeping through nebraska. social media video shows a tornado crossing interstate 80 near lincoln. tornadoes have also caused damage to hundreds of homes in suburbs of omaha. this comes as severe weather has torn through different parts of the midwest. in south. >> and bay area weather, of course. so we're actually tracking some thunderstorms here. no tornadic thunderstorms, but still some activity showing up just to the east of the region. some lightning strikes and some thunderstorms out toward the sacramento valley. of course, it was a cool day around here. lots of 60s. the warmest locations in the lower 70s, and we had a little bit of some rainfall over the past few hours. over the past 24 hours, 0.01 to 0.4. and rainfall here sometimes means snow in the sierra. this was the scene today from a sierra tahoe. they are closed for the season, but the

sierra is still picking up some snowfall today. on the order of 1 to 4in. they will clear out this weekend. we are expecting more sunshine, so here is the active radar pattern here, at least for us. and as you can see here, some thunderstorms developing out toward the sacramento valley. look at all these lightning strikes over the past few hours. moving from the north and heading to the south, and reports of some light snow in the truckee area this afternoon into the into the early evening hours. we're going to watch this one cell just south of sacramento. so this is pretty close to the bay area. you can see closing in on solano county. so there's the chance in the short term over the next hour or so we could have an isolated shower or isolated thunderstorm develop for portions of the bay area, especially the inland east bay. but the bulk of the action right now is just focused outside of the region right now. looks like it's closing in on the stockton area for us. we have partly cloudy skies. we still have some gusty winds right now. oakland airport gusting to 46 miles an hour. concord gusting to 31 miles an hour. so it has been a

blustery friday with winds over 20 over 30, in some cases over 40 miles an hour. here's kind of a neat shot above san francisco showing you some sunshine up above. but those clouds out in the distance. and if you look out to the east, you know, if we have those thunderstorms to talk about, as far as current numbers, san francisco has cooled off to 56, oakland 60 degrees and san jose reporting 63. tomorrow morning we'll start out with a bit of a chill in the air cooler than this morning. lots of 40s with partly cloudy skies and you can see the system we have been watching this area of low pressure. this responsible for the wind today and the cooler pattern. this will kind of scoot on out to the east for tomorrow. so we're going to warm things up a little bit into the weekend. no major warm ups, but it's a dry pattern this weekend. a chance to get outside with some breezy conditions. still for your saturday. here we are for your saturday, partly cloudy skies and then into sunday. sunday morning, maybe some patchy morning fog and then we'll clear out the clouds into the afternoon hours on sunday. so numbers for tomorrow you can see upper 50s. coast side will be breezy out there. lots of 60s

and the warmest locations in the low 70s. a little bit of some warming into sunday into monday. it's a nice forecast as we move into early next week. we'll have mostly sunny skies and temperatures by wednesday. even by tuesday could be right around 80 degrees. so a subtle warming trend headed our way into next week. >> all right. looking forward to wednesday mark. thank you. our special program, voices for change returns with a new episode. this weekend. we'll feature a unique partnership including introducing children in oakland to the healing power of horses. the lessons these young people are learning from this program. also, bay area teenager wins a national award for her work improving the lives of others. we'll show you how she's expanding sports opportunities for girls in underserved communities around the world. >> i started girls for sports my freshman year of high school, and it was extremely grassroots. and to see it grow so big to over 13,000 girls worldwide and gain recognition like this is super surreal. to see how well our message has been able to reach so many people.
