that's what an offshore flow will do even in the winter time but it's in the winter time we get the stagnate air. and from mt. tam you see a little bit of the trees moving, but more noticeable is the hazy conditions. 38 in fairfield. finally out of the mid-30s for you in livermore and concord. climbing to near 40 degrees. this is the picture i was saving. our east bay hills camera where you can barely see the city. so from high above you really see what we are breathing in down here. that's why another, the eighth, spare the air day today. we need more wind, we need just a new parcel of air to push this one out, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen in the short term. but we will switch things up by the middle to the end of the week as our mild pattern goes away and much cooler air, well below normal temperatures, head our way with just a slight chance of a shower. so here's a look, it's causing all the problems, a double barrel high pressure, keeping a lid on the atmosphere. we get the down-sloping winds

with the off-shore flow and that's trapping the pollutants close to the surface. with that we have the unhealthy air, illegal to burn, and temperatures coming up another 4 degrees today. the peak heat comes tomorrow with widespread 70s. even though we are starting out in the teens in the sierra nevada, look at the high temperatures in the northern sierra. 55 there. 60 near yosemite. looking at high fire danger with low 80s forecasted for monday in los angeles. 78 today. we will look how warm it's going to get in the south bay with temperatures near 70 for tomorrow. and tuesday it will still be mild, but parts of the by will begin to feel that breeze on tuesday. so we will have some parts of the by drop on tuesday, but a more dramatic drop come thursday with highs just in the 50s. we will recover out of that cold spell, as well. but right now today here we have the haze with the spare the air. a few high clouds. low to mid-60s.

by the coast, though, we will see about 70. if you are headed over to oakland, we will see mid-60s. that early sunset. and another five days or so, is that right? six before we see the winter solstice. but for today it's in the mid-60s, upper 60 to near 70 tomorrow still sunny and mild tuesday. here comes the cool down wednesday, thursday. and breezy offshore winds for next weekend. winter begins at 9:00 in the morning. about 9:11. >> that cool down is nothing like the cold snap we are having. >> no, not at all. >> thanks, lisa. let's check out sports. ing both the 49ers and raiders are in action today. at 10:00 this morning the niners are in tampa to play the buccaneers and the raiders return home to play former 49er s quarterback alex smith and the chiefs. kickoff is at 1:05. last night the sharks opened up a three-game road trip in

winston, florida state university. >> he becomes the youngest highs -- heisman winner of and the second redshirt freshman to win in as many years. aj mccarron finished second. >> when you can hold a team to zero makes in 14 attempts from beyond the three-point mark, you have a good chance of winning. that's when they did, the defense in gonzaga yesterday. remember stanford did it in a holiday tournament in late november. jim harbaugh would call it enthusiasm unknown to minnesota -- unknown to man kind. 19 points begins the bulldogs. johnson smartoff the bench. stanford in the blowout. 73-45. they improve to 18-1.

we have the numbers from last night's $40 million power ball draw.

>> wednesday night's jackpot grows to $50 million. but the big focus will be on tuesday night's $550 million mega-millions jackpot. there's a catch. in october the odds of winning changed from 1 in 176 million to 1 in 259 million because there are more numbers to choose from. that makes it almost seven times harder to draw the winning ticket, and it's one reason why the jackpot has ballooned to more than half a billion dollars. >> i like it. the bigger the better. would you like more for less? >> i guess the chances are a little harder but the buyout might be a little better for somebody. >> maybe. it will be the fourth largest jackpot in u.s. history. bigger the better, she says. >> that's what she says. >> how about the weather? >> we are looking at warmer temperatures today. this morning we were still, once again, below freezing.
