winds were certainly an issue earlier today. they were gusting well over 30 miles per hour at times, especially close to the coast. once that rain moved out, the winds really lightened. you could see most areas the winds are registering as calm, and they will remain pretty calm for tomorrow as well. here's live doppler 7 along with satellite. the story we're tracking, you can see that line of showers that rushed through the bay area brought some lightning, some hail, a quick downpour, some gusty winds. even as we move into the sierra, brought some snow where there was a winter storm warning earlier this afternoon. it has really quieted down across california, and we are in store for a cold night across the golden state. in fact, freeze warnings and frost advisories stretch all the way from the central valley down into southern california. so many cities are going to see their temperatures drop into the 30s and 40s overnight tonight. right now we already have cities here in the bay area well into the 30s like half moon bay already down to 36 degrees. we're at 36 in san ramon.

37 in napa. a chilly 43 in hayward right now. down to 40, that current temperature in santa rosa. so under those clear skies, light winds, temperatures will just continue to plummet. in fact, we're seeing a lot of 30s on the board. fairfield dropping to 39. 35 in napa, dropping to 38 in redwood city. san jose, down to 39. 41 in oakland. 46 that overnight low in san francisco. we do have that frost advisory for the north bay valley starting at 3:00 a.m. early tomorrow morning, lasting until 9:00 a.m. for those morning temperatures, anywhere from 30 to about 37 degrees. so we'll likely find some patchy frost in areas of the north bay. good idea if you haven't, protect your plants and also bring your pets inside. they do not like the cold weather just as much as we don't like it. the 12-hour planner tomorrow showing that frosty morning first thing with temperatures in the 30s and 40s. a lot of sunshine tomorrow but temperatures still a little bit

below average. into the afternoon we'll max out in the mid-50s to lower 60s by about 4:00. so a close look at highs on your monday. this is a cool monday up there in terms of november numbers. we'll touch about 58 in san francisco after that chilly start in the north bay. santa rosa, 61. 60 in napa. we'll top out 60 in san jose. 59 in concord. the same in san mateo. about 62 the high in fairfield. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. you can see we have chilly mornings on the way not only tomorrow morning but also tuesday and wednesday morning. by thursday, what we'll find is a chance late in the day of some showers, but, dion, i think the best chance of finding rain this week will come on friday with showers likely. a slight chance early
