morning, dry conditions today. a weak front that continues to fall apart will bring us a little bit of rain overnight, through your monday morning. but if you want some nice and sunnier weather, i would say head further south, because we will be invaded with some clouds later on today. so certainly not as sunny, very gray to start out this morning. here's live doppler 7. and the visibility in miles lets you know, it is slick out there from zero miles in livermore, three quarters of a mile in concord. up to the north, less than a mile in santa rosa, and also in the delta area, where this dense fog advisory is encompassing around vallejo, san pablo, all right close to the water here. and then along the peninsula, still tt the airport, 4 miles in mountain view. i want to check in with what's going on in the east coast, the southeast, where we have a lot of weather happening from snow, mixed precip, sleet, heavy rain, tornado watches down in florida. but you can s ice in

western tennessee, the snow in north carolina. about 5 inches, 200,000 people without power here. and thunderstorms throughout northern florida. back home, it's pretty quiet, but the fog is certainly a nuisance out there. the view from mt. tam, 48 in san francisco, 30s with morgan hill. half moon bay, 46 degrees. and from our exploratorium camera, you can see the clouds above. and visibility here in the city, not too bad. 48 in san rafael, it's 45 in concord. it's milder for everyone this morning due to all the moisture in the atmosphere. 7 degrees milder in the north bay. 6 degrees warmer up by antioch. so as you look at the fog, it is just really, just settled in, to these spots. and as through the next several hours, it will take right through noon, maybe 1:00 for the fog to lift and then we've got some clouds around, leading to a chance of rain. it's a 1 on our storm impact scale, arriving very early monday morning withight

showers, winds will be slightly breezy and as you go through the evening hours, it's dry, but by about 3:00, 4:00 in the morning, we'll look for that rain in the north bay, spreading south, falling apart as we get towards the east bay, san jose, and livermore. so rainfall amounts really scant out there. anywhere from about 2/10 to a couple hundredths down around mountain view. maybe nothing in san jose. upper 50s today with the clouds and sun, the fog first, though, throughout much of the morning. the accuweather seven-day forecast, there's that weak system on monday. we're dry throughout the middle of the week. you download our accuweather app and you can track the fog, the rain, and the milder temperatures mid-week. >> all riwat. alm oside for december, anyway. a little bit cooler. >> yes. >> and gray out there in spots. >> good to know, lisa. thank you. more than 100 volunteers took part in the 13th annual presidio planting day. it's to reintroduce more than a thousand native plants to the tennessee hollow watershed. abc 7 news was in san francisco
