that help people and bears share the tahoe basin peacefully. the league gave us this video of bears out and about when they should be tucked in their dense. it was one of the best-ever summers for bears. that's best as in very few confrontations with people. and she credits last year's heavy snow that created a lot of food. >> when the snow started melting and the water started to flow, the green-up occurred and it was like someone flipped a switch and the bears went back in the forest and it was the quietest season on record. >> sometimes they could get as many as 150 calls a day from people saying bears were looking for food by businesses and homes. >> last year i thought something happened to all of them. we went out and were looking for the bears base thought are they okay and indeed they were, and put weight on, their coats were gorgeous, and they totally behaved. they just prefer to eat natural forage when it's available.

>> if we don't get more snow soon, this summer could be rough for bears. >> there won't be any food for them in the forests and they will be knocking on our doors and trying to get into our refrigerators. >> hungry bears are smart and determined, raiding bird feeders, breaking through windows and doors and causing serious property damage. but they are not likely to hurt a person. >> people think they are dangerous. they aren't. no one has been killed by a black bear in the history of california or nevada, ever. >> but plenty of bears have been killed from people who think they are a new sense. >> for 15 years the bear league has worked to prevent that by teaching people to handle garbage properly and to bear-proof their homes. they also provide what you might call training for bears, training them away from urban areas that shoot guns that make noise but don't kill. >> don't you come back here! >> she believes you can get a bear to change its habits bush she's worry a dry winter will make it hard for them to stay

out of trouble. >> we consider these our animals that we are responsible for, and we appreciate, and we want them alive. >> dan ashley, abc7 news. >> the long spell of unseasonably warm weather could also delay mother bears giving birth, and that is dangerous for cubs because instead of coming out of their dens in the early spring, the babies come out in the summer, which is at the same time lots of tour he was and traffic show up. >> leia is here now and you said tahoe may get some snow? >> yes. a winter weather advisory in effect from midnight tonight until 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. we are talking maybe half a foot at lake levels. >> that would be good. >> yeah. it's been some time since we've talk about that. emeryville, we've been whining about snow snow or rain for so long. len of rain here. the dense fog advisory until

9:00. here looking pretty nice with partly cloudy skies from our roof camera. temperatures are in the 50s." back to the fog. visibility has been limited to less than a quarter of a mile, right here from napa, also up through santa rosa. so definitely be careful out there. it's going to be with us for quite some time. even novato hooking at some fog this morning. but in our east bay, not so bad. we do have reduced visibility at the coast. so we've had a leftover moisture from yesterday. so that fog just sitting down there right at the ground. 48 san francisco, 41 in mountain view. and it is much cooler this morning. so despite the low visibility, we've got some cold temperatures along the peninsula. colder than what we've been used to. down around the delta, it's not too bad right now with 8-maulvissible. look at the mile and a half in napa, less than a quarter file in novato and quarter mile in santa rosa.

in mountain view, concord and antioch, about five to seven degrees colder this morning. our satellite and radar come positive doesn't show rain yet. in fact we are looking at most of the cloud cover offshore. low clouds this morning stacked up to about 2,000 feet. some of those will thin out but high to mid-level clouds will be advancing out ahead of the front. the front will move on through this evening. start south around 6:00 tonight you can see the rain moving into the north bay, along the peninsula, and the win are going to pick up, as well. we will have breezy, westerly winds. then when we get behind this system we around done with the winds. we will see gusty northwesterly winds with cold air in place. the front pushes through around midnight in the north bay. you see still plenty of showers from the peninsula. and the snow, yep, it is finally on its way to the sierra nevada. not a huge system. a rain-snow mix, anywhere around 4,000 feet. mount hamilton, lake county.

you get the idea that the nature you are of this system is going to be cold. we will have some unstable air for the possibility of scattered showers throughout the day tomorrow. temperatures only in the lower 50s at best. definitely a cool day tomorrow. then it looks like we will have another opportunity for rain. not a big one, but it looks like the evening, tuesday evening, once again, 6:00, 7:00, we could see some showers. in terms of the state, we are talking about a high surf in southern california with upper 40s in the southern sierra. we have some fog this morning in tahoe, but a little sun later on. 44 degrees. we are looking at the rain to move on in later on this morning to the north coast. so here is the winter weather advisory from midnight tonight until 4:00 tomorrow. with four to eight inches of snow at lake levels. six to twelve above 7,000 feet. so we are definitely looking at the first snowmaker that we've seen in quite some time.

it's not even a really significant one, but at least it's going to bring some fresh powder. pebble beach today with the fog. a little patchy fog in the morning. partly cloudy skies. more clouds towards the afternoon. a cool day. 58 degrees. back home today it's going to be on the cool side. upper 50s. to low 60s. this is where we should be for this time of year. breezy west winds, and the rain not coming in until about 6:00, 7:00 tonight and around the central coast we've got a few low 60s. boy, remember last thursday, we were spoiled, low to mid-07s. two opportunities for rain. one coming in tonight through periods of tomorrow morning in the higher elevations but basically a cool and blustery day on monday and another cool night. then we look at temperatures bump up a little bit by then of the work week. >> all right. very comprehensive. thank you, lisa. don't go away. 7 on your side is next.
