I'll be on the CBS Evening News at 3:30 PDT to talk about this week's unusually warm weather, and to look ahead at a weekend severe weather threat.

Welcome Ash, cotton-top tamarin!

Ash, a female tamarin from Idaho Falls, joined us recently. Both tamarins are now exploring their habitat and having a great time chasing each other around. Come visit these mini but mighty monkeys soon 🐒

"Toby" has a little tuft of hair that makes him look a bit like a unicorn, but he's special no matter what. Perfect weather for a walk this weekend — plenty of sunshine, with highs in the 60s both Saturday and Sunday!

One more REALLY warm day on Thursday, when we'll make a run at some record high temperatures — most notably in San Jose, where we're forecasting a record-tying 79°! #CAwx

Perfect walking weather for "Papi Chulo & Babaloo" in Sonoma on Tuesday. After some early fog dissipates, we'll see plenty of sunshine — highs will end up about 5° above-normal, with even warmer weather on the way Wednesday!

Rain-free weather, plus spring-like temperatures...that equals a sky-high pollen count into next week.

#VetTales Friday CUBdate: Fern, Thistle, and Spruce are doing well under the watchful eye of our cub rescue team.

Each of the three is growing and eating well. Hospital keepers Amber and Nikki keep everyone stimulated with new structures and enrichment items regularly.

Temperatures will be well above-average through the rest of February. High temperatures in San Jose will be closer to April/May averages this weekend and next week!

"Comet & Trick" are here to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day...or a felicitous Singles Awareness Day, if you prefer. Regardless of human companionship, it looks like a good day for a walk with your canine friends on Saturday — a mix of clouds and sun, with near-normal temperatures.

We'll get a little break from the rain over the weekend and into early next week. Another impactful system looks likely by Wednesday and Thursday, although details are still in flux. We'll be watching it as the situation evolves... #CAwx

Another SEVERE TSTORM WARNING, this time for southern San Mateo county and northern Santa Clara county, until 4:45pm. This one has the “tornado: possible” tag, although I’m not seeing anything overly ominous at the moment.

Yet another SEVERE T-STORM WARNING for the same locations — southern Marin, northern San Mateo and all of San Francisco, until 4:00pm. Circled area offshore has the strongest winds and heaviest rain, and will move onshore over the next hour or so.

Just-after-6pm radar update: Here comes the rain again! Widespread rain in the North Bay will overtake the rest of the Bay Area this evening and overnight. Heaviest rain and strongest winds arrive Tuesday — be prepared for localized flooding and sporadic power outages. #CAwx

🚨ADOPTABLE DOG ALERT🚨

Say hello to "Lincoln" and his wonderfully expressive ears! Those ears would love to hear the pitter-patter of raindrops on the roof of a fur-ever home. If you can offer that, here are the details:

Evening rush hour in Amboseli park 🐘🐘🐘

This month we led an eco-trip to Kenya, where travelers experienced spectacular sightings like this and brought supplies to our partner Amboseli Trust for Elephants.

You too could enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience 🇰🇪

Here's hoping "Daisy & Stella" get out for a good walk on Thursday, because wet weather returns to the Bay Area on Friday. They look like they're ready to go! Morning fog and clouds will give way to a mix of clouds and sun in the afternoon, with highs near-average.

On Sunday, @CDFW brought 3 orphaned mountain lion cubs to our vet hospital. The trio, estimated to be about 3 months old, were found in Portola Valley. CDFW believes the mother of the cubs is the same female that was killed by a car in the same area.

Our next rain chance arrives Friday, kicking off a stretch of wet weather that will last into next week. The 7-day rainfall forecast from the Weather Prediction Center has been trending higher, and this is still an evolving forecast! Stay tuned for changes as the details come into focus... #CAwx

Forecast models agree that our next chance of rain will arrive in the Bay Area on Friday. Still some significant discrepancies as to the extent and intensity of the rain — we'll be sorting those out as we approach the end of the week. For now, plan on wet weather Friday! #CAwx

It’s been three weeks since the Bay Area picked up any measurable rainfall, but scattered showers will develop this weekend! This is the radar simulation from 10am Saturday through 10am Sunday. Not a washout, but be flexible with any outdoor plans! #CAwx

Don't hold your breath, but some forecast models are trying to bring a few pop-up showers to the Bay Area on Saturday. It's about a 1-in-3 chance of anything more than a sprinkle, so I wouldn't adjust any outdoor plans. #CAwx
