in fact, i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. you got to pay. you got to pay your bills. >> there are no bills to pay in nato. each of the 31 countries pledges to spend 2% of gdp on its own military. and the pledge is voluntary. as of last year, ten countries hit that mark. i think that people should take everything he says serious, but not literally. >> that's simply the president telling nato countries they need to step up and play their part. >> nato secretary general writing any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the u.s. this morning, trump's motorcade arriving to federal court in south florida, the former president in front of a judge in a closed door pretrial hearing in the case where he's accused of withholding classified documents. >> chaos follows him. you know, it's true. >> the south carolina primary is less than two weeks away. the former governor of that state and trump rival nikki haley, jumping on his nato comments today. >> he literally put our men and women in harm's way when he said that, he put all of our allies

because of wild fire smoke. researchers from the first street foundation say. fine particles pollution that type from comes that comes from wildfire smoke is rising in western states at the same time, it's actually dropping in other parts of the country. these pollutants have been linked to alzheimer's, dementia. and cancer, according to the san francisco chronicle. counties like santa clara, alameda, sonoma and napa could see more than a month's worth of bad air per year by 2054. >> all right, time now to get a check on our weather. it's gorgeous. >> out it is. we've got good air out there now. >> meteorologist sandyha patel is here with the forecast. but sandy, that is going to change rather significantly. >> we're going to see a wet pattern set up, that's for sure. but you have some time to enjoy the sun. dan and a good evening to all of you. let's take a look at a live picture right now from our mount tam cam. absolutely gorgeous. the sun setting 5:45 p.m. tonight and you will notice all those extra clouds around. these are high clouds in advance of our first weather system in

the series. so this system is developing in the pacific. it will bring us wet weather as early as wednesday. right now on live doppler seven, a few passing high clouds and that's about it. your temperatures are in the comfortable zone, 50s and 60s. you know, it was really foggy across parts of the bay area this morning, but it has definitely brightened up this afternoon and evening. overnight tonight, increasing clouds. you certainly see a lot of sun from our san jose camera. valentine's day rain arrives, but don't worry, it's not going to dampen the entire day. i'll get to that in just a moment. beneficial rain coming our way and the holiday weekend. a wet, windy pattern is setting up as a series of storms comes through here. but first let's talk about the overnight hours into tomorrow morning. you see a lot of cloud cover, maybe a little drizzle as well. we certainly are going to see some fog out there to start off the morning. just like this morning. now by tomorrow night, rain is just off the coastline and we'll talk about when it reaches your neighborhood first thing tomorrow morning. 30s and 40s, on your temperatures, a little

bit of damp roadways because of the mist and drizzle. and tomorrow afternoon you are looking at partly to mostly cloudy skies. highs in the 50s and the 60s. a level one system is coming in wednesday, going into thursday morning. light to moderate rain. highest totals in the north bay and it will be breezy at times. so we're going to show you hour by hour what happens at midnight wednesday. the rain is still north of the bay area. 8 a.m. wednesday. you will notice some showers beginning to move into the north bay. that's where it stays until about 11 a.m. then you start to see the rain shifting southward by 3 p.m. some other areas are getting wet. 6:00 you're seeing some pockets of light to moderate rain. this continues into the latter part of the evening. and going into the wee hours of thursday morning before this system pushes on out of here, it certainly will mean that rain totals will slow down your commutes at times. so keep that in mind, especially for the evening. highest rain totals as i mentioned, over an inch in ukiah. but as you head into the rain shadow of the santa cruz

mountains, places like san jose getting under a 10th of an inch, this does turn to snow in the mountains, but more of that snow coming in over the weekend with more significant storms coming in. so by presidents day, some of the resorts picking up anywhere from 2 to 3ft of snow certainly will be a rain snow mix at times. so the longer range models saturday here comes the next system. it will bring a heavier rain at times than the third one on sunday and going into monday. so keep that in mind as you make your holiday weekend plans. accuweather 70 forecast tomorrow you're still okay. mix of sun and clouds. level one for valentine's day, a one thursday with some morning showers and then a one for uh- saturday and sunday mainly and monday, but we may need to bump that to a22 for the weekend. so dan and ama stay tuned because that system, those systems look a little stronger. >> all right. thanks andy. >> the san francisco 40 niners are back in the bay area. the team plane landed this afternoon in san jose, where seven busses were waiting to take the players
