chilly. >> it is quite chilly out there right now, dion. and we've got much cold weather to talk about. but since you mentioned the high tides, they factor into this beach hazard statement. i want to tell you about. this is in effect until sunday morning. wave heights are elevated. the surface rough. we can expect increased threat of sneaker waves during this time period. and of course, with the high tides this weekend that may produce further run up at our beaches. so just bear that in mind. meanwhile, back to the weather. our high pressure is in control of our weather right now will be for the next several days, bringing us mainly clear skies. the wind is really calm right now. so when you combine clear skies overnight with calm wind, you get a sharp drop in temperatures and that's what we have right now. check out this 24 hour temperature change, 16 degrees cooler in novato, 23 degrees cooler in napa than at this time last night. 20 degrees cooler in fairfield and 16 degrees cooler in livermore. it's chilly all over the bay area, but we have clear skies as you can see in this camera view from sutro tower looking at san

francisco, 51 degrees here in the city right now. we have mid 40s at oakland mountain view, san jose, 38 at palo alto at 41 at half moon bay. looking back at a portion of the skyline from the explorator camera of the temperature readings right now in the 30s in many locations 39 at santa rosa and fairfield down to freezing already at novato, napa, 37, concord 42 and 40 at livermore and looking across the embarcadero from the rooftop camera. these are the forecast headlines. cold overnight with frost likely in the north bay valleys. sunny days, cold mornings lie ahead into early next week and there's a slight chance of rain beginning about the middle of next week. excuse me, the frost advisories in effect until 10:00 tomorrow morning for the north bay valleys. as i mentioned, that's down to 32 already in parts of the north bay. and we can expect temperatures down to or below 36, pretty much across the board there. meanwhile, overnight lows more specifically, 33, santa rosa, 31, lakeport, a 35 over the inland east bay at livermore. so you get the point. it's going to be quite chilly

all around during the overnight early morning hours under sunny skies tomorrow, highs will just reach into the mid 60s in the mildest locations around the bay and inland. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so for the next couple of days we've got cool weather but nice sunny skies. it warms up about two degrees or so around the bay and inland on monday, but it's hardly going to be noticeable. then it starts to cool down again and later in the week, wednesday, thursday, friday, we see increasing clouds and a slight chance of showers. at the moment, we can't be very precise with just how big a chance it is. so we're not posting a ranking on the storm impact scale yet. okay. >> so things could change a lot. >> they could change. it could >> they could change. it could remain sunny the whole seven i have moderate to severe crohn's disease. now, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are looking up, i've got symptom relief. ♪ ♪ control of my crohn's means everything to me. ♪ ♪ control is everything to me. ♪

jimmy kimmel, my guest, emma stone. have a great night. and we will see you bright and early tomorrow morning. announcer: hey, bay area. it's time to share some amazing stories and feel good.

we could all use some inspiration right now. and you've come to the right place. this show is all about good food, good people and good living. ♪ ♪ on today's show, a luxurious getaway. the moment you walk in, guests are immediately transported into a true destination resort. announcer: fashion and love unite shoppers. i wanted to create a space that felt like you were browsing through a really stylish friend's closet. "the wiz" is back. man: if you believe in yourself, then you can make time stand still. but first, this iconic winery reopens its doors. it's an incredibly exciting time at sterling vineyards. we're fortunate to live in a valley where grand openings happen with some regularity. but to reopen a place that already has

60 years of history is truly special. ♪ ♪ you have to have that warm hospitality dna in you and it helps bring the wines to life. makes that view that much more memorable. and it's one of the reasons our guests keep coming back again and again. ♪ ♪ the glass fire rolled through in september of 2020. it's been just over three years since that happened. but as we came out of that, this opportunity to pause and reflect in a way that we had never had the opportunity to do. we've been fortunate to be one of the busier wineries and more frequented wineries in the napa valley, but never presented us with three years to fully refine and rethink every piece of the guest experience. this place just feels special. this place feels different. there's something about it. when you get to the top of the hill, the uniqueness of this property is palpable. that, i think, inspires people and creates memories.

we feel that we've picked right back up where we left off three years ago and only even elevated upon that. sterling's sustainability has always been something that's important to us. but especially now, as we look to reopen following the tragedy of the 2020 fires,. we'll have 26 parking spaces dedicated for ev charging. we're also in the process of converting the entire winery to 100% solar-powered. that includes the winery, the hospitality spaces, and of course, the iconic gondolas will be 100% solar-powered. sterling is the only winery in the world that has its own gondolas to get our guests to the top. they've been part of the sterling experience since 1973, when we first opened our doors. most of the gondolas, you go to ski resort, you go up, you go down in the same way. ours is a triangle, so you get two very different views. one on the way up, then a separate, beautiful view on the way down. so we're thrilled to have them. each one of our guests gets the opportunity to ride it

as they ascend to the top of the property and join us for an incredible experience. thankfully, the gondolas themselves were not damaged as part of the fire. however, they were original to the 1973 opening and all of our parts and ability to repair that was impacted. so as we thought about rebuilding and having no way to safely maintain the existing gondola, repairing it and rebuilding it was really the only option. ♪ ♪ when sterling vineyards was founded by peter newton and michael stone in 1964, it was one of only 27 wineries in the valley. so certainly a pioneer in the valley. at that time, though, most of the wineries were wineries, they were there making wine. the idea of hospitality being integrated into their winery was really cutting edge. so when we opened our doors in 1973, we were immediately a success. for peter and michael, it was really important
