highlights lingering showers tonight. morning fog, could be dense in the north and east bay valleys and then a partly cloudy tomorrow. dry day will be monday and then by monday night the clouds thicken up and we'll see wet and windy weather return. next origin of the storm from the gulf of alaska much colder so we are looking at rain on tuesday and ending on wednesday but blustery winds behind it. lows dropping into the upper 30s in north bay valleys. a few pockets in the clouds with upper possible for santa rosa. 43 for palo alto and san mateo. satellite and radar picture shows a weak system rotating through the northern part of the state and that has triggered the showers mainly north bay counties but still the chance right through 8:00 tonight. we have pressure off shore that will keep us dry tomorrow.

we will see a partial clearing but out in the pacific a couple of areas of low pressure and it's dropping down from the north. here is a look at the rest of state. southern california enjoying upper 60s and mountains look pretty good upper 30s and snow falling right now at the tahoe valley airport. tuesday night into wednesday tough going into the sierra nevada. if you are headed there you may want to wait until wednesday afternoon. then we're dry overnight into monday. thickening clouds for monday night and look what happens as we head tuesday morning rain is spreading to the south and east and by the noon hour pushing into the east bay and south bay. then by wednesday sweeps on out of here but showers. low snow levels. mount hamilton could see snow

49ers still had a chance to make the playoff if they could beat st. louis today but san francisco got off to a terrible start. already down 7-0 submitted can't handle the snap. he is sacked for a safety 9-0 rams. he find the seam and he takes it to the house 78 yards for a touchdown.

then late in the second on third and 12 smith delivers a strike over the middle to michael crabtree. he is gone for a 60-yard score. san francisco led at the half 14-12. then in the third quarter this pass is picked off by former stanford star who by the way is mike singletary's future son-in-law. following that they got into a heated argument. the coach would bench him in favor of alex smith. >> then the rams scored again bradford throws to robinson. st. louis goes on top 22-14. alex smith didn't fare much better he loses the football rams recover. 25-17 as the 49ers are officially eliminated from the playoffs. >> it appears the end is near

for mike singler to. york says he would not commit to singletary. york also said the 49ers will hire general manager and quote money is no object. >> raiders were only playing for pride after oakland was eliminated from the playoffs. oakland got off to a great start on the opening kickoff. he does it again taking it from the one-yard line. he shows off his speed going 99 yards it's his third kickoff return this season. and this is a 59-yard field goal. one of four today. peyton manning finds him 18 yards with the score. colts led 17-13. now in the third more from manning he hits blair white

colts would eventually go up by 12. raiders try to mount on comeback with a quick strike from miller and that score oakland is down by 5 but they would not get the ball back. manning fools everyone colts run down the clock. oakland falls to 7-8. >> we are disappointed because we want a chance to see if we could be a playoff team this year. our goals have to change for the last week. we'll do that. we'll talk about those things tomorrow. >> we'll hear more from the raiders but the big story mike singletatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata

today, we gather to recognize the selfless decision of one of the most influential women of our time. the woman who, after having one too many drinks chose not to drive home buzzed.

here today to honor rachel is the family whose lives she spared. coming up in half an hour at 6:00 california's new internet based insurance exchange how it could mean lower premiums and dry-cleaners that help save the environment. join us for news at 6:00. finally severe storm on the east coast has paralyzed much of new york city so that means there is only one thing to do. they didn't waste any time. they headed out to central park for some sledding but it wasn't enough to stop these folks from having a great snow day. good way to leave. i'm alan wang thanks
