A low-pressure system is expected to move in overnight, bringing rain into the North Bay Tuesday morning and spreading into South County by the evening, according to the National Weather Service. That storm will be followed by three others that will hit the region through early next week. High temperatures are expected in the high-50s and low-60s throughout the week, with lows in the low- to mid-40s. The series of storms could dump more than three inches of rain, the normal average amount received for the entire month of March, said Austin Cross, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Monterey.

The Morgan Hill Times presents its picks for the top five local things to do for this weekend. South County has it all: from the great outdoors to breathe in that fresh air, a gleeful movie, to picture-perfect pets.

The family of Mike Davenport, a Gavilan College board of trustee who died last week at the age of 47, have announced his funeral services. 

The Mount Madonna YMCA finished its annual fundraising campaign, raising more than $140,000 to support youth and senior programs throughout the south county area. More than 100 volunteers began the month of February with a goal of raising $125,000, but were able to smash through that goal. The volunteers celebrated the accomplishment with a victory ceremony Feb. 29. Although the volunteers have finished the fundraising drive, the YMCA accepts donations to the campaign on a year round basis.
