i'm mike shumann, have a great day. good sunday morning. we still have some breezy upper elevation winds. a live look from emeryville where the camera is still shaking a bit. we're talking the north and east bay hills is where the winds are quite gusty. so for the next three hours or so, the national weather service has still the red flag warning and the wind advisory up. and with that we are concerned with the possibility of some fires that could start. if they do, they could spread easily. it has been so dry, practically no rain at all for the month of december. the relative humidity right now anywhere from 20 to 50%. so with those winds blowing around in the hills, yeah, not a good recipe. but by the afternoon, winds will relax. as we look outside, a very nice start to the day with plenty of sunshine and in fact the winds really coming down to pretty much nothing by late in the day. so a big difference from

yesterday to today. live doppler 7 showing a little bit of cloud cover. as we look outside, boy, it looks nice from mt. tam and temperatures are mild, from san francisco, oakland to mountain view, in and around 50 degrees. 54 in san jose, 55 half moon bay, but when we look at the north bay number s we've droppe about 12 degrees in one hour. so it's 39 now, it was 52 last hour. napa still mild at 54. santa rosa 48. looking at cooler numbers by concord so a few locations cooler this morning and a couple locations still very mild. livermore at 52 degrees. so it's the wind in the hills that we're watching, north and east bay hills from mt. diablo to mt. tam, with wind gusts to 27 miles an hour even above half moon bay we're looking at wind gusts of 23 miles an hour. so this quickly subsides, but we're still looking at that offshore component and that's going to last throughout the day, that offshore wind. look what happens, 8:00, 9:00,

the winds aren't even in the double-digit category for most of you except for a few gusts in the upper elevations. and then by, oh, say 2:00, it's pretty pleasant out there with temperatures once again well into the 60s. let's fast forward to tuesday night into wednesday morning. we could see a splash of rain anywhere from a couple hundre h hundredths to a tenth so nothing to write home about but we may see a little rain headed your way. 65 in oakland and vallejo today. 66 for fremont. tonight colder, low 30s for many of our inland valleys from novato to napa to livermore. download our accuweather app and you'll notice that we do have still a string of sunny days. less wind today, bright and mild tomorrow. a few clouds on tuesday and then by tuesday night some north bay sprinkles and that should last right through about, oh, the morning commute on wednesday

perhaps and then looking at dry conditions, perhaps breezy winds after that. winter arrives on thursday, 8:28. >> something to look forward to. lisa, thank you. well, this time of year so many people go to watch "the nutcracker" but at one bay area theater the classic is being performed with a twist. instead of ballet, the dancers will be doing hip-hop. we go behind the scenes to show us what's in store for audiences. >> reporter: you may recognize the music, classic. but this is a nutcracker performance like you've never seen. there are no ballet shoes used for the moves they're doing. >> i think there's always an audience craving something new. you can expect to see break dancing, turf dancing, popping, animation, pretty much all styles of hip-hop and street dance. >> reporter: choreographer stuck sanders is one of the directors of hip-hop nutcracker. the basic story line is the same. it's set on christmas eve. a young girl enters a dreamland

and a nutcracker comes to life and takes her on an adventure. the classic music has been remixed to fit the dancing. >> all i know is ballet, that's my background. i saw this, i fell in love with it. >> reporter: christine leslie is the ceo of peninsula ballet theater. for its 50th anniversary, they wanted to celebrate genres of dance, the old and the new. they experimented with a hip-hop version last year at redwood city. it was received so well, they are bringing it back again and adding a second performance. ♪ >> you've got snowflakes dancing, you've got the snow queen there. this time it may be an evil snow queen, who knows what's happening this year. >> reporter: the dancers are rehearsing this week, perfecting their moves. they are excited to showcase their skills and flavor to audiences. >> a lot of the things you don't expect, so a lot of the things

that you see here, if you're an audience member, you'd be like oh, my god that's crazy because we add so many different elements. >> we have a link to the peninsula ballet theater's website at abc7news.com with more information on how you can buy tickets for this afternoon's performance. coming up, santas are invading the south bay where you can dress up and get some exercise later today.
