you don't notice this change until the afternoon tomorrow, then you will see the screen lights up, the brighter the color the stronger the wind. by the time we get to 2:00, the areawide, bringing cold air within. the wind is today afternoon, but the wind advisory stays in effect until wednesday afternoon. there is a possibility you could have a downed tree with localized power outages. tomorrow is a first alert weather day, for that aspect. there are a whole bunch of items coming our way. the storm bringing in the wind will try to bring us some rain. look at this, straight down from the north, that is why it will be so darn cold. it explains some of the really unique aspects. not only the

intensity of the cold wind, tomorrow, but this systems ability to drop the snow level down to about 1000 feet here in the bay by thursday and friday. and, that means some local hills could get a dusting of snow on them as we get into thursday and friday. in terms of the rain, for tuesday night through wednesday, there is not a lot. it will be spotty, on-again and off-again showers. you can see they are few and far between. a lot of openings there, and we do not really get a lot of rain, the technically rain is possible from tuesday night all the way through wednesday., on thursday, showers will pick up, there will be more of them and we will get more rain. if we just take the accumulated rain from tuesday night and all day wednesday, we barely have a few hundredths of an inch. then if we take this and let it go from thursday through friday, those two days, we come away with about a half an inch. the storm drops the best rain it has on thursday and friday. that is not a lot of rain. have an inch is nothing compared to january but it is still widespread rain.

here's the interesting side of this book on thursday and friday where we are getting the most widespread showers out of this, the snow level will lower and it will get down to around 1000 feet. if you look at a map closely, you can see these light shades of blue through the east bay hills, that is like skyline boulevard, which is at this level. skyline boulevard, those hills on the east bay go to 1500 feet. snow level gets down to 1000 feet by thursday and friday. there will be light snow there but it should not be major, impactful, it will be more of a talker, something that people want to get pictures of rather than having a big impact on people who live in the east bay hills. in the santa cruz mountains, you can see the splotches of orange down there? start thinking about thursday and friday. anything above 1000 feet to 1500 feet in the santa cruz mountains could have more impact. that might be a bigger issue, especially in the driveway there and the higher elevations. we start up tomorrow in the lower and middle 40s, tomorrow the daytime highs we hit those numbers by about noon.

if you still haven't noticed anything by noon but by afternoon you will. three days of rain for thursday, friday, and saturday, better chance on thursday and friday. that is our first alert today so
