>> NOW, YOUR KSBW WEATHER FORECAST WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST LEE SOLOMON. LEE: WE WILL TAKE ONE LAST LOOK AT THE SYSTEM PASSING BY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. WE NEED THE RAIN, BUT WE ARE GETTING IT REALLY FAST AND HOT AND HEAVY AS THEY SAY. THIS LITTLE BACK HERE CAME THROUGH, WE HAD GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE DAY, EVENTUALLY CLEARING OUT AS IT MOVED OUT INTO THE SIERRA. STILL SNOWING AT GOOD RATES UP IN THE SIERRA WITH MANY OF THE MAIN ROADS OPENING AND CLOSING AT TIMES. AS WE ZOOM OUT FURTHER, THERE IS A LITTLE CLEARING HERE AND THAT DOES EXTEND OUT INTO THE PACIFIC. WE’VE GOT MAYBE 48 HOURS AT MOST , PROBABLY 36 HOURS OF A BREAK FROM THE RAIN. HERE IS THE NEXT SYSTEM, IT WILL TAP INTO TROPICAL MOISTURE BECAUSE THE JET STREAM IS RAGING ACROSS THE PACIFIC. ALL YOU NEED IS A LITTLE COLD AIR AND A STORM SYSTEM SPINS UP AND GRABS A TROPICAL MOISTURE AND MAKES RAIN REALLY EASILY. WE WILL SEE PARTLY CLOUDY SKY TOMORROW, THIS IS 7:30 IN THE MORNING. WE WILL KEEP IT DRY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. A LOT OF RAIN UP TO OUR NORTH AND THEY WILL HAVE FLOODING ISSUES THERE. IT WILL BE GREAT FOR THE MAJOR RESERVOIRS UP THERE, INCLUDING SHASTA. THERE IS GOOD NEWS ON THAT FRONT IN TERMS OF RESERVOIR LEVELS. WE DEFINITELY HAVE SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY MIDDAY OR LATE DAY SATURDAY. THIS LOOKS PRETTY LIGHT, A LITTLE MORE SNOW IN THE SIERRA BUT THEN THINGS START TO RAMP UP . WE MAY TAP INTO TROPICAL MOISTURE, A RIVER OF MOISTURE COMING IN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL PULL THROUGH RATHER QUICKLY SO IT SHOULD NOT STALL OVER US FOR TOO LONG. SUNDAY MORNING WE MAY START OFF WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS BUT HERE COMES THE LIGHT RAIN BACK AGAIN. WATCH THIS COLD FRONT NOT MOVE AT ALL. THIS IS WHAT THE MODELS ARE TELLING US FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MIDDAY MONDAY. THIS WILL BE A PROBLEM IF IT STAYS OVER US FOR 6-12 HOURS. WE WILL SEE A LOT OF RAIN, AND THAT IS SOMETHING WE ARE WATCHING CLOSELY. THE LAST COLD FRONT BLEW THROUGH REALLY FAST, THIS ONE MAY NOT. IT COULD SPELL TROUBLE WITH MORE FLOODING. FOR THE WEEKEND WERE LOOKING AT LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN, STARTING SATURDAY AFTERNOON, SATURDAY NIGHT, MAYBE A BREAK SUNDAY MORNING AND THEN IT RAMPS UP AGAIN ON SUNDAY NIGHT. MINOR FLOODING IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF HOW SATURATED WE ARE. THE WINDS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR WE WERE THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS BUT GUST MAY BE UP TO 35, COULD BE A LITTLE STRONGER. THAT COULD TAKE DOWN SOME TREES AND BECAUSE POWER OUTAGES BECAUSE OF HOW SATURATED THE SOIL IS. MUD AND ROCK SLIDES CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. HEAVIER RAIN AND WIND STARTING SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. IT COULD END UP BEING MORE OR LESS THAN WE THINK. WE WILL WATCH THAT CLOSELY BECAUSE A BIG STORM AFTER ALL THIS RAIN WOULD SPELL TROUBLE. WE STILL HAVE A WINTER STORM WARNING UP INTO THE SIERRA UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING. THERE IS A LOT OF WIND AND ROAD ISSUES. IT WILL NOT BE PLEASANT. OTHERWISE, PARTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT, UPPER 30’S TO MID 40’S. TOMORROW 50’S TO AROUND 60, AND SUNSHINE WILL FEEL GOOD FOR A BREAK. CHECK OUT THE DROUGHT MONITOR, WE’VE GOTTEN RID OF THE EXTREME PART OF THE DROUGHT. MOST OF THE STATE IS STILL IN SOME SORT OF DROUGHT BUT WE HAVE KNOCKED IT DOWN BY ABOUT 25%. THAT’S THE GOOD PART OF IT. THE BAD PART, WE KNOW. 50 HAVING 60 COVERS IT THROUGH THE WEEK. THE RAIN WILL START TO DEVELOP AGAIN ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT, A BREAK SUNDAY, SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY LOOK HEAVY. MORE OF A BREAK IN THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE PATTERN MAY WIND DOWN BY THE EN
