we won't know the level of success until 2022 at the earliest. >> we know it's a spare-the-air day today because we can't seem to get rid of the warm weather. >> yeah, but we will. tomorrow we begin to see an incoming push. it could bring alleges rain. and there's a hope that a bigger system heads our way after that. here's a look at live doppler 7hd. you see the outline of the fog here. it is situated from the north coast all the way down into southern california where it is creating some problems on the water. the problem for us, though, is that it's beginning to push in a little bit across the bay. so that is reducing visibility. a pretty shot though, don't think, from the sutro tower camera where much of the fog is shrouding san francisco at 57. oakland is at 50. mountain view 52.

50 san jose with a clear sky and morgan hill and half moon bay low to mid-50s. there's fog at the coast. you can see in the distance here how low it is at about 500 feet right across the bay. and it could just sit there for the next several hours. so if you are in one of those dense fog pockets, it could take until about 11:00 with that lower sun angle. mid-40s right any in santa rosa. you have had fog up by the airport there. novato 48. it's 45 out by the delta and it is clear in our east bay valleys. so sfo look at the low fog right now as well. it's dense in spots. a winter spare the air day today. carolyn mentioned that and that's because with higher pressure pushing down on the atmosphere we aren't getting any mixing and some of the pollutants being trapped near the surface creating some unhealthy air. we are advising you thatting it illegal to burn today. in fact, with the wood and the fireplaces, not a good idea. in fact, the next couple of days we will get more of a sea breeze and then an incoming weather

system should bring maybe a half-inch of rain to the north bay. north bay right now, parts of it shrouded in fog. you can see the next couple of hours where it's going to sit, right over the bay towards the delta. they have been dealing with this in the sacramento valley for days and a very typical pattern throughout the winter time. we will look for this to burn back and give the bay area today sunny, mild afternoon. large northwesterly swells developing tonight right on through tuesday. this includes sonoma. the beaches along the north coast, ocean beach, and all wait down to monterey bay with the strong rip currents and sneaker waves. dangerous conditions there. and we are looking at high pressure just weakening a little bit, allowing for this trough to bring some rain to the pacific northwest. it won't being affecting us. but the next one will be. today mid-70s, cooler yosemite, cooler los angeles and a little cooler on the coast with that fog from san mateo to marin. so the rain should come in late

wednesday into thursday and the darker shade of green indicating north of the golden gate. more rain, about a tenth, perhaps, down through monterey. highs today mid-70s down from yesterday's record in oakland. >> 76 palo alto, 78 in san jose. and over in oakland, low to mid-70s. so just a gorgeous day today. maybe that will bring the raiders some luck. the accuweather seven-day forecast, cooler still tomorrow. mid-70s inland for veteran's day. a beautiful day. a lot of people have it off. and looking at increasing clouds and the chance of rain come thursday. >> all right. you talked about wishing the raiders luck. the warriors don't seem to need it. in sports tonight the warriors are in phoenix looking to remain the nba's only undefeated team. last night they took down the previously unbeaten houston rockets. here's schu. he's got the highlights in this morning's sports.
