around no more tsunami advisory for us here locally. we are looking at the high clouds, but if we look at the big picture right now, you can see some moisture embedded in those high clouds and a few showers down around salinas and hollister locally. there is moisture in the upper levels of the atmosphere, but for us it looks like our drying trend continues with the high clouds and mid-level clouds. it is 50 in oakland right now as well as fremont. 45 in novato. so temperatures are up. the fog is out towards the delta anywhere from three to eight degrees warmer for most of us and with the mild visibility and fairfield fog is not an issue for us the roof camera right now showing knew the good perspective in the visibility will be good without the fog mid-50s to near 60 by noontime pa cloudy today temperatures near 60 around the bay we'll talk about martin luther king jr. holiday warmer weather as we look at our extended outlook coming up liz. alright lisa. thank you again this morning. the tsunami advisory has been

because that's how for many in the talking community the past 24 hours have been an emotional roller coaster. none of us have heard from anybody anytime after an underwater volcano erupted in the south pacific the nearby island country of tonga was hit by a devastating tsunami the effects were even felt here in california some 5,400 miles away now many tongans in the bay area say they haven't heard from friends or family reverend. got tymani, is the pastor of first tongan assembly of god church in san carlos. his son is currently in tonga. we still trust even though we haven't heard from them for almost 24 hours now. but we believe in you know have hope that something. just gonna come out from this. it's a similar story for many tongans across the region michelle thomas essay helps run a tongan restaurant in grocery store in redwood city family is is a huge thing. the polynesian culture and so if

a couple families are are being affected, you know, it affects all of us as they says her heart breaks for those still in the country many of whom come from humble backgrounds. you can't help but wonder how how they're going to be able to rebuild right after this but despite the hardships that the tongan people are facing those i talk to on saturday night say they're confident that the community will recover that includes reverend timoni who says his people are strong. but he still requests one thing from those wishing to help. i'm just asking anybody. who believe in god please? remember tonga in your prayers in redwood city tim johns abc 7 news. and yesterday was a much different scene in santa cruz than back in 2011. that is when that massive earthquake offoa of ged a tsunan california. it caused 20 million dollars worth of damage to the santa cruz hgain, this is video from 2011.

can actually see is only part of the threat. floating right alongside often invisible to the naked eye are microplastics tiny particles that could come from clothing cigarette -- and even the rubber from car tires and the way it wears off is when the tire hits the road it wears off these little tiny bits of tires. they're so small. they're practically microscopic but their effects could be devastating to fish like salmon and other marine life in recent studies kelly moran and her colleagues at the san francisco estuary institute set out to do. the likely sources of microplastics and also confirmed that storm water is a main culprit. there are study for the first time. revealed that microplastics were mostly coming from outdoor rain. and washing across outdoor surfaces, and they were carrying microplastics into san francisco bay in other words the kind of downpours that have swept through the bay area this winter creating runoff that literally pulls microplastics along with

it, but now with a better understanding of where plastics come from and how they're transported researchers are hoping will be able to come up with innovative solutions everything from introducing new technologies to changing old behaviors. remember the rubber particles several companies including one called the tire collective are engineering onboard devices designed to capture the worn rubber before it's left on the road and potentially recycling and researchers say limiting the tiny clothing fibers pushed out from dryer vents is another opportunity. if you pull out a rack or even throw some hangers on your shower rack and dry some of your clothes that way it's actually really cool because it'll reduce the amount of microplastics getting into the bay because they won't be going out your dryer save the base david. is also points to new efforts by cities and the state to cut down on plastic use. so the more we can eliminate single-use plastics and packaging and other materials the less there is to get into the environment and into

landfills limiting the pollution and microplastics that can be washed into creeks streams and ultimately san francisco bay dan ashley abc 7 news an initiative on the state ballot this november would go a step further creating new regulations on single-use plastic. so that is something that will also follow up on and keep you posted on throughout this year meantime lisa. let's get a check of the weather and hopefully the beaches are calmer today and maybe people can even go out but i think even still people are being asked to stay out of the water. yeah. it's certainly was a dangerous yesterday with those waves not coming in sequentially. you would get a higher wave after some low ones that the run-ups and the decreases were huge and very unusual phenomena. we certainly did enjoy learning about it and still thinking about the folks. of course in tonga as we look at live doppler 7. there's a system spinning up from the north. you can see some showers from

southern california along the central coast there, but this is a really in the upper levels of the atmosphere the moisture, but we still are looking at an outside. chance of some rain to the south of us, that would be hollister san bernardino county but for the bay area unfortunately things are going to remain dry. here's a closer look at all the cloud covers so mid and high level clouds spinning up from time to time and looking at some mild temperatures to start our sunday 50 in oakland right now. it is 52 in fremont as well as san jose. so all that cloud cover insulating us temperatures in the coolest locations are in the mid-40s out towards livermore. are in santa rosa, but the fog has been confined out towards the delta not dealing with that this morning seven to eight degrees warmer palo alto and livermore livermore. you were cold danville in the upper 30s yesterday. so a big bump up this morning if you're headed out earlier our air quality remains unchanged we're under that moderate level due to that high pressure lid

and very little wind affecting us. so when we get these drying trends and high pressure throughout the winter months, it just doesn't take much to trap those poll. and so we're looking at hazy skies when the high clouds thin out from time to time and as we look right now towards our exploratorium camera, it looks pretty good visibility wise you've got the clouds and then partly cloudy throughout the afternoon the dry pattern continues well into next week. we were looking at the end of the month for some changes now that's looking very iffy throughout the day today. you can see how the clouds are going to thin out. we've got more sun here for parts of the north bay. remember that system is to the south of us. so looking at the cloud. and maybe if you sprinkles along the central coast, this is our holiday tomorrow where once again we're in the mid to high level clouds and this system is going to be on the way out. so with it, we'll bring in a slightly cooler air mass monday into tuesday, but notice how we clear out after that. it looks like high pressure building in more substantially. so look what happens here.

we get wednesday with temperatures in the 50s close to the bay then thursday a few more 60s more sunshine. and then by friday, i think this could be one of our warmest days either end of the bay could be hitting 70 degrees. so we're talking about a lot of sunshine and into the extended outlook with the big picture here. you'll notice that the rain not even up into the pacific northwest so it is absent 60 today in oakland partly cloudy 62 in san jose temperatures in the mid and upper 50s in the valleys the accuweather 7-day forecast the holiday dry and pleasant with partly. mostly cloudy skies on our monday the clouds will clear out the temperatures warm up and we're into the end of january still well above average with our rainfall, but we needed to come back and january and looking kind of iffy list. we'll look into february maybe. oh, okay. well across her fingers we get it. thanks lisa. just dad if you have tickets to see celine dion perform this

cloud cover mid and high clouds have been visiting us. there's a system to the south of us that has been finding a few sprinkles down around perhaps hollister and monterey county. but yesterday they were 71 in monterey. so despite the clouds of mild weather, especially back home where we're in the low 50s for many of us around the bay mid-40s with fog and hayes out towards concord air quality is just moderate now, but you can see it's a milder start pretty much for everyone just a few degrees cooler where you have the fog in concord. the haze is out towards fairfield two and a half mile visibility over into our east. valleys and by nine o'clock. we are partly cloudy with mid-40s to 50 degrees. we'll call it partly cloudy throughout the day today as those high clouds continue to stream up from the south but numbers will be on the mild side with low 60s in fremont one o'clock. we're into the three four o'clock hour and we'll look for temperatures to be dropping with the sunset after five o'clock at 5:15, and the holiday is monday,
