light on climate change's impact on the ski season. that report released the same day snow in the sierra prompted the season's first chain controls. let's check on the weather with drew. >> yeah, we had a little bit of snow over the last 12 hours in parts of the sierra, around tahoe. >> we had a light dusting. it was all associated with a cold front. you probably noticed that front yesterday afternoon with increased cloud cover. it was a cooler than average day. that front now is basically in central california working its way through bakersfield this morning, behind that front right now, we have clear skies and some chilly temperatures and also some drier air has really moved in here. we look at dew point and we've talked about this a lot, especially in the summer when they were elevated and it felt muggy out there. well now it's the opposite story behind that front. we have dry air that is really worked in here. and when those dew points start getting into the 30s and when they really get below about 35 degrees, that is when you start to feel your skin really get dry, the skin starts to crack. so we're getting into the weather. the season where you

may need to moisturize your skin because we have that dry air overhead kind of zapping that moisture off of you. so just be aware we have some dry air today and that likely will linger through the upcoming weekend. outside we go. here's a live look from our sfo camera. we have great visibility. we have clear skies overhead. we are in store for a bright day. we start out chilly cities in the 30s and 40s right now. we'll have that sunshine getting us into the 60s by the afternoon. but those temperatures are below average. very similar to yesterday's daytime high. so we'll have a string of not only below average days, but chilly mornings, especially saturday morning. we're watching saturday morning. we could have some frost advisories pop up in the bay area. we'll keep you updated on that. but the weekend is looking bright and sunday is actually warmer than saturday. we'll show you those numbers coming up in about nine minutes. but w we made it! bmo has arrived. hello? you said it. hello to more ways to save money, grow your wealth, grow your business. just what we needed, another big bank. not so fast. how many banks do you know that reward you for saving every month?

they themselves hail from different parts of the world. and so it is ridiculous. and disgusting that the hotels will try to use vulnerable unhoused immigrants to try to put these workers against each other. but what we're telling them, that's not going to work. >> right. we're taking them under our wing and we're going to fight for them as well. >> hotel officials have said the hotels remain open with management and other nonunion staff filling in. >> los angeles city leaders are now questioning the viability of robo taxis on their roads. as you'll know, of course, that the dmv suspended cruise's driverless permanent san francisco earlier this week. now an la council member is introducing a motion to limit the expansion of driverless vehicles in los angeles. he is citing safety concerns and labor issues costing people jobs. >> if we can protect jobs and we can protect the safety, we can have a conversation. but right now, we're not having that conversation. >> these autonomous vehicles, these auto taxis are not ready for prime time. the testing should not be done on the public

streets where our children, our grandchildren, our spouses are walking. we are not test monkey now. >> they don't even have cruise down la. they do have waymo. that's the only robotaxi company operating on their streets. the company issued a statement saying that it prioritize is working transparently with policy makers and based on many productive conversations. they say they're confident they can work together. >> a new report is highlighting how climate change is impacting the sierra. and as a result, ski season may be getting shorter. according to the desert research institute, temperatures around lake tahoe are expected to be nearly nine degrees higher 100 years from now. and that means that it will be too warm for snow to fall at the start and at the end of the traditional ski season in peak snowpack levels are projected to fall as much as 80% by late century, depending on the amount of carbon pollution in the region. for now, though, snow is already beginning to fall in the sierra.

look at that. this is video taken yesterday from uc berkeley's central sierra snow lab. and now it doesn't seem to be coming down too much in this clip, but it did impact some traffic there in the area. chain controls were in effect on 80 above donner lake. the first chain controls of the season. and it's tough to believe it's already snowing there, right? i mean, is this about average? yeah, we're actually right on schedule. >> oh, okay. yeah october 1st snowfall. and when you go back to the story about climate change, despite those temperatures warming, when we do get storms, they can have a lot more moisture associated with them. so we can see bigger snow storms despite having warmer temperatures. that's something you have to watch. we saw a lot of snow last year they went to because they were skiing until july. >> yeah, july down at mammoth in southern california. >> i thought they could actually go year round, but they closed it for about a month. we'll see if we can get more snow over the next seven days. do have some moisture to talk about by the back half of the seven day forecast outside this morning. our oakland airport camera
