54 hayward. 60 in san ramon inland more sunshine, not necessarily the fog we had. 53 mountain view. right now, nap park 49. satellite and radar shows you went from clouds this morning, breaks of sunshine by the afternoon, thanks to an area of low pressure just around l.a. that's pushing to the east now, taking the clouds and rain with it. to the north another system entering the west coast but this is going to stay well north of the area. so once again, no moisture over the next 36 hours. so taking into the future tomorrow morning monday, heading back to work and school areas of dense fog will be developing across the region. burns off mid-day and by the afternoon tons of sunshine, mild temperatures and yet another dry day across the region. the reason we have been so dry for the past couple of weeks you can blame the strong area of high pressure over the center of the united states. it's caused a kitchening in our jet stream, and basically the jet stream steers the storms and controls where the temperatures go. so the west coast has been dry

some mild but the east coast, you have heard story about extreme cold, and now stormy conditions. but the week ahead will see this high pressure weaken in size and lose its muscle. so first that means the east coast, they're going ease on the cold and warm up nicely, and for us here in the bay area finally, the storm track will hover over us next week and bring us our chance of rain. so the long-range forecast shows you the cold front moving in saturday and sunday of next week and then the good news compared to 24 hours ago the storm looks more potent in terms of moisture content. so take a look what it looks like in terms of rainfall next weekend, healthy half inch to quarter inch across most areas. the north bay, though has a good shot of seeing more than an inch of rain once this storm moves through. so keep you updated on that. overnight lows, temperatures in the 40s. 38 in napa. 45 richmond. 44, san jose patchy fog. tomorrow, another mild day. mid-and-upper 60s across the

bay area. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. "spare the air" in effect for an 11th day. a mild and sunny stretch through friday so quiet but by the weekend, saturday evening sunday, there we go, our chance for the kole front to bring us good rain showers. >> i'm ready for it again. thank you. rick kwan is in tonight with sports and we know there's no local team no local football team in the playoff, but you say local ties. >> exactly. tom brady who grew up in san mateo, aaron rodgers, went to cal, andrew luck went to stanford. a lot of players to root for. two more exciting nfl playoff games. andrew luck tries to lead the colts to an upset of the broncos, and how about them cowboys. ♪ ♪ ♪ i ♪ ♪ know i can't deny... ♪ ♪ that i got a new feeling ♪ ♪ deep inside... ♪

>> last week a controversial call helped dallas beat detroit and advance. today a controversial call helped end the cowboys seen. we go to lambeau field where the weather was actually not so bad. tony romo was solid all day. hits william who is gone, 38 yards for a touchdown dallas led 14-10 at the half. bothered bay calf injury, aaron rodgers struggled the first half but finished strong the pack led 26-21. the game would come down to this, fourth and two under five minutes left, romo to dez bryant, who appears to make an amazing catch, at first ruled down at the one but after the packers challenge the call it was reversed because bryant did not control the ball all the way

to the ground as the remay shows. so it's an incomplete pass. green bay takes over on downs. dallas had a chance to get the ball back but on third and 11 rodgers completes this tipped pass to randle cobb for the first down and they run out the clock. so it's green bay at seattle next sunday for the nfc championship. 26-21 the final. rodgers threw for 316-yards. the cowboys first road loss this season. most of the post game talk had to do with bryant's noncatch. >> just can't believe it. all i can say. i can't believe it. i never seen anything like that. never ever seen nothing like that. in my life. i called-caught it came down and tried to reach for the goal line. >> maintained position throughout but let me make it clear, this game wasn't about officiating, we had an opportunity to come up here and win a ball game. we didn't get the job done. >> after getting embarrassed

over the last super bowl the broncos were hoping for a shot of redemption bus first they had to get by the colts led by andrew luck. luck replaced peyton manning at indianapolis. denver struck first. goes thomas for a quick 7-0 lead. the colts tie it up in the second quarter. the handoff to herron who gets to the outside and in indy's offense gets the headlines, the defense kept manning off balance. newsome strips manning and the colts recover. then i it was 14-10 at halftime. the colts added to the lead in the third quarter. luck with all kinds of time before finding nix in the end zone, point after 21, 10. with three minutes left, denver facing a fourth and eight. c.j. anderson with a great second effort gets near the fir-down marker but comes up just short. the broncos challenge the spot but it was not overturnment that does it.

manning's season is done. it could be an to end an era? going to be luck in and colts against tom braid and at the patriots for the afc title next sunday. >> the pros worked their way to the super bowl. tomorrow night it's oregon versus ohio state for the national college football championship. it's 5:30 kickoff on espn and the watch espn app and getting back to the dez bryant player, at first i thought it was a catch but the rule says if the ball touches the ground before the receiver regains control the pass is incomplete and that is what happened. so to the misery of cowboy fans, it was good call. >> always learn something new from you, sports guy. >> that's my job. >> thank you. >> help inform you. >> adding a little yellow to that iconic orange. the c
