bay shoreline. right now, there's the fog right above the fog. actually, the cloud cover also now above us, the air is dry, but it's kind of jag it. and it's not like clearly dry like we had yesterday. but we do see some clearing down to the south to start the day off. it looks like cloud cover is going to start to fill up the bay throughout the day today. and then kind of clear out by monday, a little bit to ever. so briefly, here's what it looks like. in the bigger perspective, this is the traffic we get to get through here for tonight. get a little break tomorrow. and here comes our new system. this is our midweek system and the trailing cold front is what you're going to feel. some of the colder temperatures coming our way cooler. excuse me by the end of the week and that's going to facilitate maybe that shot of rain. all right. let's go with our sunday here. you see couple splotches appearing here on radar. we'll keep some patches of drizzle in there in the north bay, particularly much of the rest of the bay does start to fill out with cloud cover. it looks like by these projections, but at least you get a few hours of sunshine and it might get thin spots to love the sun. play a little peek. a boo gain. but a lot of cloud cover we're dealing with. and it really doesn't clear out till monday.

we have a nice window here, although some low clouds will remain around portions of the bay. so it's going to be like it's not too far from home. it feels like all this moisture kind of hanging around a little bit. but again, you'll see some opening of skies tomorrow. tuesday, different story as we prepare for the arrival. the next deal temperature check for. we've got a lot of 50's on the board here. lower 50's east bay shoreline, antioch. 55. 57 for san francisco. so what's lined up here for you today? mostly cloudy morrison to the south patchy north bay drizzle only in the week variable clouds because that covers tuesday as well. so while you see a lot of sunshine monday, tuesday kind of variable clouds and then that system gets here wednesday, thursday, we cool off and all of that, mostly sunny as we head into saturday when it's all said and done. that's like basically friday and saturday. so give wednesday thursday, the 2 days to see what we're going to get. 63 san francisco, mostly cloudy, got that patchy drizzle anywhere near water. you're always going to run that risk a little bit to kind of saturation here. and oakland at 63, mostly cloudy

and 67. meanwhile, for san jose in the wider board here, we don't see numbers pop much more than that. remember up in the north bay. they got lots of cloud cover to deal with for today. so that's not going to see much mercury movement. little bit of a warm bump will see early in the week our next system midweek. okay. still a good idea to bundle up in general. sure. why not? you know, but we only thing as i do see is we don't lows dipping into the 30's. so we'll stay at least north of 40, even up in some of those valleys. >> when you get some of the cold air in the morning hours because we're not going to dry out enough. all right. certainly feels like winter is yes, you can get is here. haha, thanks so much, dave. >> well, as the holiday season kicks off, an increase in shoplifting has been reported across the country. our nancy loo reports on the grinch is stealing the holiday spirit from businesses. >> holiday season means far more inventory on store shelves. a lot more people walking around shopping bags and millions of packages are out for delivery next. >> and entice ing set of circumstances for criminals

start off too low. they're fairly lofty when this tax thing get started by midweek. here it is on futurecast for some leftover drizzle in the north bay in the coastal areas anywhere near water cloud cover basically fills up most of the bay overnight. let's open up those skies a little bit here. might get some calling better than we've had over the weekend and overnight, just a touch there and then into your monday looks pretty good. here is the return of that low level moisture you can see by tuesday morning at spills back into cross the carquinez strait in the sacramento valley. that's certainly the surface and the high level cloud cover builds after that temperature. check for a 51 santa rosa terrifies novato. also for napa mid to lower 50's along the east bay shoreline and not much of a difference inland. a little bit of cooling there for livermore. 47 and 51 for san jose game plan is this. we've got mostly cloudy for today. more sun is expected in the south and that's pretty much in the morning hours. plenty patchy north bay drizzle early in the week, variable clouds and mild monday, a lot of sunshine. but then the cloud cover returns on tuesday.

warmer too. and then for late in the week, we have this event wednesday, thursday, 4 to play out. no. the backside question mark, how much we going to dry out at the surface? you might get some frost potentially with it, but you got to have a lot of moisture which to do that. and of course, the cooler temperatures to follow suit as well. temperature check for you today will be about 63 san francisco also matching that for oakland. got to keep that patchy drizzle and there. but those mostly in the morning except the north bay. 67, meanwhile, for san jose and on the bigger board here, not a lot of movement going on. what we're 60's prevailed. a lot of locations and mid 60's off to the east bay south bay fares. the little best fares. the best in upper 60's. so what we see when we get the system is shower activity and snows up to tahoe. but they look to be pretty high up because this is not a really cold winter storm from gulf of alaska. that's when you get down to 4,000 people so we'll get them high level snow and all that. it will get the rain showers. but on the backside, how much cold dry air comes in here that will determine our lows to finish off the week. but at

least we get some sunshine yeah, it sounds. so it sounds like then that a lot of those resorts up there, they're going to have to rely on more manmade snow. yeah, i think have to, you know, cheat nature a little bit. it kind of do a little ourselves for the lower lows around some of those and feet. i guess they want to get on there. so it's going to be tough to do by nature until we get the 2nd half of that system on thursday, which will colder. all right. good to know. thanks so much about. >> all right. a new study finds a possible new remedy to treat pancreatic cancer. >> it might shock you to find out that it's something that you can find in your kitchen pantry. maia belay has the details. >> there's a new hope to help treat one of the deadliest forms of cancer and is likely already in your hole. early data shows a hypoglycemic state or elevated blood sugar can make pancreatic cancer more responsive to chemotherapy. those with higher glucose levels. >> diabetics control, sugar actually live longer want getting chemotherapy. >> the research reported by university hospitals seidman cancer center along with case
