where we should be. in livermore, redwood city and san jose. seven degrees off in downtown san francisco. so a little cold snap staying with us for the beginning of the work week. but then we will look for the ridge of high pressure to nudge just a little bit closer to california. as it does, that will begin to warm us up. look at it, it is all the way up into canada and out in the pacific. we still have the systems being deflected to the north so we are looking high and dry throughout the work week into next weekend and perhaps beyond that. 50 in fresno for later this afternoon. 58 loves and they will warm up due to a stronger offshore flow tonight. 27 in the sierra nevada. down to 15 below this morning. back home we will see the numbers once again low 50s. 53 santa rosa, 49 livermore, 52 san mateo, with just 50 half moon bay. and down by the monterey bay, yeah, beginning to that you out there. you know, i guess it's fine for

the east coast to warm up a little bit because their time is coming as soon as tomorrow. they will cool off upper 20s and 30s. back home here, that will be our coldest morning for the next several days. we will warm up and have the overnight lows still chilly, but not as cold as they were this morning and tomorrow morning. >> i don't wish bad weather on the folks back east but i'm glad it's going to warm up here. >> 20 to 30 degrees above normal, that's just not right there. >> thanks, lisa. well, we know that wintry mixner the bay area is much different now than it was ten years ago. the abc7 news weather team is exploring decades of data documenting out climate change is affecting weather here. it's for a special airing this evening. you will also hear how the bay area microclimates make the weather here different than just about anywhere else on earth. >> topography is one of the main reasons that we have such diverse weather conditions from location to location. we've got the higher terrain in the mountains and the hills that

help determine wind flow and that she would certain areas from rainfall. >> the abc7 news special "inside bay area weather" airs tonight at 6:30 here on abc7. >> a new technology is offering hope for an uncomfortable condition affecting an estimated 23 million people in the country. it's a condition that can take a severe toll on everything from your vision to your quality of life. here is abc7 news health and science reporter carolyn johnson with the details. >> on a bad day, even driving can be a challenge for helen cole. >> the hardest part about driving is seeing the signs clearly and it adds a distinctive glare of blurriness. >> while her normal vision is fine, the blurriness comes from a condition called dry eye. in helen's case it is so severe she's forced to treat it with drops and compresses throughout the day.

>> from the time you get up in the morning your eyes already feel gritty, sometimes they are swollen. definitely red and they have a burning sensation. >> you have a relatively low oil layer. >> the ophtamologist said the condition is often caused by a lack of oil which allows the eye's natural oil to evaporate. he is going to treat it with a new technology called lipiflow. it's from pure science. -- tier science. >> that's perfect. >> first they perform a laser scan of her eyes to measure the amount and quality of the oil, as well as her natural pattern of blinking. >> that represents the blinks. >> after analyzing the data, the doctor places two small cups directly on to helen's eyes. they are designed to reach the oil glands beneath her eyelids. >> it warms the eye to about jacuzzi temperature. not too hot, but comfortable. it melts the oils and using a computer program it applies gentle pressure and expresses the abnormal oils from the glands. >> the procedure takes about twelve minutes and the mild heat does not typically cause any discomfort. once the glands are cleared the

eyes begin producing oil and moisture. diana had the procedure earlier this year. >> i would say within four days or so i could tell that my eyes did not seem as dry or as uncomfortable. >> the doctor said in severe cases it can take eight to ten weeks to experience relief, but the improvement often lasts several years. >> i think the whole technology from beginning to end is revolutionary. >> and for patients like helen it offers the hope of making it through the day without concentrating on taking care of her eyes. >> a home run would be to, actually, have it totally go away, but for now i would just be happy with having good days. >> and carolyn says that an average treatment costs $1,800 and it is not covered by insurance right now. however, dr. mandell points out the improvement can reduce expenses ranging from eye drop prescriptions to regular eye appointments.

>> coming up next, a white out. why thousands of people got together in seattle to

>> k check out the winning numbers from last night's super million dollars lotto plus. no one got them all so wednesday night's jackpot is estimated at $13 million. enough people took part in seattle's snow day yesterday to set a new world record for the largest snowball fight. about 6,000 people hurling snowballs at each other at the seattle center. organizers trucked in 162,000 pounds of snow from the cascade mountains in this effort to dethrone the previous record holder, the republic of korea, and it was 5,723 people throwing snownballs back in 2010. >> not quite cold enough to toss a snowball at you, lisa, but

it's chilly out there. >> yeah, we don't have the moisture, that's for sure. very dry out there. as we take a look outside, it looks nice and pretty out here with sunshine in san francisco. but temperatures are off. you don't need me to tell you that. how much off? well, only 53 today santa rosa and oakland and we should be in the upper 50s. redwood city should see 59 and san jose. so well below normal this afternoon, into tomorrow as well, and then we will look at our warm trend, but not before we have another freeze warning tonight and a frost advisory for the bay shores. so a cold start for your monday. a little milder for tuesday, on the average of two to four degrees warmer. that should take us to near average. by the end of the week more fog and moisture, but we will still stay dry and then mild by the end of the work week. >> sounds good. that is going to do it for us. thank you for joining us on the abc7 sunday morning news. i'm carolyn tyler along with meet lisa argen who is back in the saddle.
