push through overnight. and then comes the low. so that's why we have the instability in the forecast for thunderstorms tomorrow. winds are gusting out of the south 28 miles an hour and a half moon bay 21 in livermore, 30 in napa. those winds even stronger over the higher terrain temperatures right now in the 40s and the 50s. as we take a look at some of the storm concerns tomorrow, as we do see some downpours at times, there will be some ponding on the roadways. it's a pretty high likelihood trees down and power outages is low. lightning risk will be in the moderate category, even bordering high. if enough instability develops overnight. wet and windy weather tomorrow. wintry mix. thunderstorm chance and on sunday we are talking about occasional spotty showers so it's not going to be a complete washout. it's a level one, a light storm for tomorrow. rain, brief downpours, gusty winds, definitely a chance of thunder and hail with snow on our highest peaks as we go hour by hour. notice at midnight it's still pretty windy. hopefully it doesn't keep you up at night.

the winds will remain gusty all the way through tomorrow evening , dying down at times and picking right back up again. 4 a.m. tomorrow. we're seeing some heavy rain going through at 7 a.m. notice the snow over mount hamilton, the santa cruz mountains, seeing a mixed bag of precip and up to our north lake and mendocino counties in the hills. it turns over to scattered showers rapidly by noontime, and those showers just keep coming through. in the evening you will see some pockets of moderate rain in the evening as well. sunday morning a few showers and then you get a lot of breaks and you get some clouds and sun. and then 3:00 here come a few more showers so you will notice far less coverage, less frequent on sunday. that's your better day to get outside. rainfall projections 4/10 of an inch in brentwood over an inch and half moon bay, ukiah. some of the santa cruz mountains, some locations could pick up an inch and a half to two inches. and speaking of mountains, snow over the santa cruz mountains, mount hamilton will likely accumulate a few inches and up to our north, so be prepared for the

chill. have your umbrellas handy and tomorrow morning will be the stormiest time period. temperatures in the 40s and 50s as we look at our afternoon highs, they'll be in the 40s and 50s for most of you today we saw double digit drop in temperatures for many areas. tomorrow is even chillier, believe it or not. accuweather seven day forecast. it's a stormy start to your weekend level one with rain, snow mix, spotty showers for your sunday. it's a level one. you'll see sun breaks and then we're going to switch it up dry and warmer for next week will bring spring back with 80s inland 70s around the bay and 60s coast side. dion and
