in parts of the north bay, from petaluma to napa, from one to two mile visibility. storm system to the north will head into the sierra nevada, allowing for light snow and gusty winds. locally it just means extra cloud cover here and isolated sprinkles, perhaps a light shower through the later evening hours. with the mostly cloudy sky today, temperatures will be where they should be for early december. and then looking at more sunshine tomorrow, as that system passes to the east of us, and dry and milder days into next week. so tides will be high. in fact the king tides for tomorrow into monday, with the highest occurring monday morning, 11:08, nearly seven feet. between now and then, we have the cycle of high tide tomorrow morning at about 5.9 feet, then a low tide, and the next high tide at 6.2 before it ends at about 7 feet. we're looking at the moon too, coinciding with that. it will be the closest full moon

of the year. maybe that's why you can't sleep, right? with temperatures on the cool side and the moon so bright, we're looking at a 30% brighter moon. and it appears 14% larger. so with the increasing clouds in the east bay valley, still have a little bit of sunshine. and that will allow temperatures to come up through the 50s from 10:00 to noontime. 61 should be the average high. and then as the sun sets at 4:50, it gets cool quickly. and you'll see cloudy skies. we are looking at the potential of maybe 1/100th for the east bay, san francisco, the north bay. this is why. with this system to the north of us by 7:00, it is going to be well after sunset as it continues to sink to the south. you can see that line of showers from i-80, vallejo, san francisco, perhaps emeryville, right along the coast. you could just see a few sprinkles out there. then through the overnight hours, the skies begin to clear. we get into some stronger north winds. that's just going to keep us cool in the days ahead. the overnight lows. but as for tonight, with the cloud cover, we'll be milder.

today, 62 degrees in livermore, looking at the low 60s in san jose. 45 in fremont. 47 for you in san jose. maybe a sprinkle through the overnight. and the accuweather seven-day forecast, we're looking at temperatures mid-50s coast side with the lower 60s inland. download our accuweather app and you can keep track of your local temperatures. and if you see any of those sprinkles, a sunnier afternoon tomorrow. cold morning, breezy winds in the mountains on monday. higher elevations, i should say. then throughout the middle of the week, we are not looking at much cloud cover. that will allow for temperatures to climb to above average readings again. >> all right, lisa, thank you. if you've driven through san francisco lately you've no doubt had to dodge a couple of uber or lyft vehicles double parked on the already crowded streets. the mayor has an idea to unclog the most congested areas with eight proposed loading zones for ride hailing services. they include sections of clement street in the inner richmond, chestnut street in the marina, bay street in north beach, two

sections of howard street in the financial district, as well as portions of hay street in hays valley, 24th street in noe valley and irving street in the an sunset. here's abc 7 news reporter jonathan bloom. >> reporter: stand on chestnut street for five minutes and you'll see it. >> they can't find where their pickup is or they can't find the person. so they end up double parking along the street. >> reporter: not even the mayor is immune. >> i've been stuck behind it. parking in the middle of the street, picking people up, dropping people off. >> reporter: the mayor is proposing special zones in crowded neighborhoods for uber and lyft drivers to pick up and drop off passengers. >> when you see the bikes and pedestrians walking around those cars, it's dangerous. >> reporter: one vendor thinks it will bring order to the crowded streets. >> it would be a good thing. >> reporter: everything comes at a price. in this case the cost would be something that's already scarce -- parking. >> already it's a problem parking. >> reporter: some neighbors doubt it will help. >> i don't think double parking

can be solved. because people are always going to want to double park. >> reporter: in exchange for that valuable curb space, mayor leigh wants uber and lyft to make those zones the only spot you can request a ride on some streets. he also wants something else -- data. >> how many of the drivers are there at any given time of the day? there's got to be a maximum and a minimum. >> reporter: uber and lyft have been blamed for congestion citywide. they have lots of data on where drivers go and when but have been unwilling to share it with cities. >> because they believe it's private property, you're going to be litigating maybe for a long time. >> reporter: leigh wants to coax it out of them. as for parking, the zones may not replace regular meters. >> for me there's a lot of yellow zones that don't get used. >> reporter: zones intended for these trucks that are double parked. in san francisco, jonathan bloom, abc 7 news. we continue to follow breaking news. an accident at the bay bridge toll plaza has left two people dead. it happened just appear 5:00
