bay. you could see a half mile in napa. we're at a quarter of a mile in santa rosa, three quarters of a mile in fairfield. so we are starting out with a little bit of fog in the north bay. elsewhere, we are having clear skies, and we do expect a lot of sunshine today. look at these numbers right now. we're in the mid 40s to the mid 50s, 53 in san rafael, but 46 in concord, a little bit cooler in our valleys, 51 in san jose. we're coming at 58 right now in cloverdale. coit tower lit up in niners red and gold. so here's a look at how your day shapes up. it is beautiful. if you liked yesterday today is equally as warm. we'll have those partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. but look at these temperatures mid 70s in some spots, upper 60s along the coast. it will feel quite nice out there with all that sunshine, but enjoy the warm weather today because changes are coming live. doppler seven along with satellite here comes our next storm system and it will bring rounds of heavy rain later on this week. we'll show you that coming up in a few minutes. let's check in with gloria and see how traffic's going. >> good morning drew. good morning everyone. so far, traffic is pretty light on this monday morning. this is live.

look outside right now at the bay bridge toll plaza. camera and you can see the traffic is flowing nicely there. no weights at the pay gates. and then a live look at our richmond-san rafael bridge camera. we still have that sig alert in effect there with the right three lanes blocked, but there are no backups to the toll plaza guys. >> thank you. gloria san francisco 40 niners, super bowl bound again. they are taking on the kansas city chiefs. and less than two weeks the san francisco skyline covered and red and gold overnight. >> here you see salesforce tower city hall the ferry building and coit tower all aglow in the red and gold that looks really great. the niners will now have the second most super bowl appearances of all time at eight. that's three behind the new england patriots. and if they manage to win super bowl 58, they'll be tied for the most super bowl titles in nfl history at six. >> we're going to start this morning with abc seven sports director larry beil, who was on the field with sports reporter chris alvarez as the niners locked in that nfc championship.

>> good morning everybody from levi's stadium. the 40 niners are going to the super bowl larry beil along with chris alvarez never in doubt right. never in doubt. maybe a little bit of doubt actually. the 40 niners got shredded by the lions in the first half of the nfc championship game. an epic second half saved their season and we're all going to vegas, baby. and that includes the goat. jerry rice who was on hand among the faithful. niners down 17 at the break. dominate the second half. brock purdy deep for brandon aiyuk and look at this ball. ricochet off the defender's helmet. and aiyuk with a presence of mind to grab it for a gain of 51. he actually thought he scored a touchdown, but he was touched down on the play. it's like the 2024 version of the catch. deebo samuel said. that was insane. aiyuk would score on a td pass from brock purdy a few seconds later, and the niners were down seven. very next play for detroit, tayshaun gibson strips jahmyr gibbs. niners recover just like that. they're back in business now. this defense got gashed in the

first half. gave up 280 yards. but they almost pitched a shutout in the second half. a few plays later after the fumble christian mccaffrey his second touchdown of the night, would tie it up. and then elijah mitchell took it in late a field goal as well. the niners hold on to win 3431. the epic comeback will send them to las vegas and the super bowl to play the chiefs. so what exactly was said in the locker room at halftime to spur that second half turnaround? >> it wasn't really much, said kyle. said a couple things, fred said a couple things, but we kept it simple and so went out. we all knew what we had to do. seasons on the line. we're down 17, so i think everybody stepped up and when we played really good complementary team football from there, you know, you just had to come out with our hair on fire. >> honestly, it was it was just do or die at that point, so to speak. and uh, honestly, they've been running the ball really well. shout out to their running backs. uh, but when their number is called, i just tried to make a play, man. got my hand on the ball, man, and was able to change the game, man. and it's

all mindset you know. >> you know there's no special play that can be called in those situations. it's just it's a want to. and obviously it meant it meant more to us. >> and did you see okay. we were just talking about that moment where chris mccaffrey and george kittle waved at the camera on the field. that was so. and it was like this come in here. >> they were like, game's over. that's the one. >> you knew it was over and that is when niners fans could really breathe a sigh of relief. check this out. air. the fourth quarter of the nfc championship game yesterday really lit up. we spoke with 140 niners fan who is grateful to experience this. she says she didn't know if her health would hold up this late into the season. it was fun. >> i'm glad i'm alive for it. hey, she battled cancer this year so we weren't sure if she was going to make it, but she's here. >> well that's wonderful. all

one fan told us they paid $1,100 for a ticket to last night's game, and i bet that they were thinking that it was a good value. there weren't just fireworks at levi's stadium. as you would expect, fans across the bay area celebrating the win. sky seven caught fireworks in the bay view. i could have pointed the camera outside of my window last night in the mission because there were lots of fireworks there. motorcycles doing wheelies and huge crowds in my neighborhood. as you can see, areas that were closed to traffic to prepare for these fans flooding the streets. multiple freeway off ramps in the city along 101 and i-280 were closed until midnight to help with crowd control. abc seven news reporter tara campbell has more, with the fans celebrating. >> 40 niners fans erupting sunday night from san francisco's financial district to the north beach neighborhood. it was fantastic. >> it was hard for the first half to watch. >> we actually were going to go home, but then we decided to

come back, you know, just to see what happened and i'm so glad we did. >> it was awesome. instant classic for sure. uh, that iu catch is going to be a classic moment of niners history, so that was awesome to see. >> i've been on the edge of my seat the entire game, but i already predicted to my friends, once we get the lead, it's over. >> it was incredible. i got a little nervous in the first half. i stuck around, we pulled it out. we just need our defense to get hyped over in the city's east cut neighborhood downtown. >> on the nerve showing early on when the niners were down so far looking sketchy until it's the first quarter. >> so this this. wait and see. how are you feeling about the game? >> uh, you know what? uh, not so great. uh, after the first two minutes, i think. but it seems like they're going to come back and it'll be a good game either way. so very excited people gathering from across the bay area to watch on the big screen. >> this father and daughter duo made the trip from pittsburgh. >> oh, i love it, i love it. i love seeing all the fans around me. i love seeing them cheer and

we warm. our typical highs this time of the year are in the upper 50s. we're already reaching that by 10 a.m. this morning and then into the afternoon. it gets even warmer than that. so here's how your sky will look today. it is gorgeous day. enjoy the sunshine, the dry temperatures, bright conditions leading to partly cloudy skies throughout the afternoon. but it will be warm again some areas may set a few records. yesterday we had about 5 or 6 new records today. it's not out of the question. we could have a couple more records as temperatures once again go back into the 60s, and in the 70s, a high of 67. in the city today. but san jose, nice and warm for this time of the year, coming in at 76, 72, in fremont, 70, in napa, 69, in oakland, 72. the high in santa rosa. but then things begin to change for the weather. looking at our rain chances, they really ramp up here on wednesday, continuing into the day on thursday, and that's when we'll likely see rain heavy at times, along with some gusty winds. so we do bring in the storm impact scale mid

week here for wednesday. it is a level two right now. we may have to increase that as we get new guidance in today, but rain will be heavy at times. we'll likely see some pockets of flooding and some gusty winds with some trees down. reggie will go hour by hour in future weather. show you the storm coming up in about eight minutes. >> thank you. drew a decades old mystery could soon be solved. coming up, the possible new evidence in the disappearance of amelia earhart. >> plus new action to stop the spread of fake, explicit images of taylor swift. the change you may have noticed on x. >> get ready to file. it is the official start to tax season. gloria is standing by with a f when dad brings up the importance of...

mid 60s to the mid 70s, with several cities likely approaching if not making new records later on today. so it is looking bright. it is looking beautiful out there. today is one of those days where. in january may get away with just wearing shorts and a t shirt, because we're going to 76 degrees for a daytime high in san jose. that would be a new record. 72 in santa rosa, 70 in napa with mostly sunny skies, near 70 in oakland, 67 in the city, 72 in palo alto. it's just going to be a really nice start to the week, but we do have changes coming. our way as we head towards tomorrow night and really into wednesday. we're totally dry today, but our next storm system really arrives here during the day on wednesday and it's at night into early thursday that we may see rounds of heavy rain, some gusty winds. the potential is there that we could see some minor pockets of flooding. we could also see some trees come down, so it will be a pretty impactful storm as we head towards the middle part of the week. we'll go hour by hour in future weather, show you this
