as snow and ice blanketed major roadways in nearly all of

kansas, western nebraska and parts of indiana, where the state's national guard was activated to help stuck drivers. the national weather service says the storm brings the possibility of the heaviest snowfall in a decade to some areas. about 63 million people are under some kind of winter weather advisory watch or warning. while the national weather service is warning of dangerous conditions along the coast tomorrow. they say to be prepared for sneaker waves, strong rip currents and breaking waves up to 20ft. the swell is expected to begin tomorrow morning at 4:00 and last through tuesday evening. it goes from cloverdale down to big sur. you're asked to stay away from the water. keep pets on a leash and never turn your back to the ocean. all right. in light of all of this, spencer, you are standing by in the weather center tracking all of the weather conditions. at least it looks bright and sunny and rather pleasant for anybody who wants to at least watch the waves. >> that's true. diane. the waves will be rough. the surf will be rough, but the weather will be

calm and pleasant. and it's going to be pretty warm this week. coming up. here's a look at satellite radar composite image. you can see high pressure building in there. the clear skies there. just a few thin, high clouds passing through the bay area right now. and the wind is calm once again today. most wind speeds and almost all locations under ten miles per hour, with the exception of half moon bay, which has 12 mile per hour wind speeds. and it's quite a bit warmer today in virtually every bay area location than at this time yesterday. five degrees warmer in san carlos and hayward, six degrees warmer in san jose, up north at santa rosa. five degrees warmer than at this time yesterday. here's the view from sutro tower looking out over san francisco where it's 56 degrees. also 56 in oakland. hayward 59 low 60s right now at san jose and redwood city, 54 at half moon bay. nice view from mount tam. a clear view down onto the bay. 59 right now at santa rosa. mid 50s at petaluma, napa and fairfield. concord 58 and 56 at livermore and the western sky, the pre sunset sky looking westward from the

east bay hills. camera. these are the forecast headlines tomorrow morning. clouds giving way to afternoon sunshine. then the remainder of the week we'll have sunny days and much warmer weather than we typically have this time of the year. dry pattern continues for the next seven days. we expect no rainfall at all. but back to that, to the beach conditions that diane was talking about earlier. so we have elevated slightly elevated wave heights, and we have a beach hazards statement in effect from 4 a.m. tomorrow to 4 a.m. tuesday. breaking waves could reach heights of 20ft. and of course, there's a moderate risk of rip currents and sneaker waves. so a good idea to just stay away from the coastline right now. here's our forecast animation starting at 8:00 this evening, at which point we'll still have mainly clear skies, but a few thin, high clouds will develop. and then during the overnight hours, we'll see high clouds passing through. but we'll start the day with bright skies tomorrow, even though a few of those high clouds will be lingering and we'll have a mostly sunny day by afternoon. overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid 40s, a few upper 40s closer to the coast. san francisco a low

of 4948. in oakland. highs tomorrow, generally in the upper 50s to low 60s. not a very mild day tomorrow, much like today, but look at the rest of the week. from tuesday through saturday we're talking about high temperatures from the bay to inland, ranging from 64 to 66 degrees generally. excuse me, it's likely a couple of those days we could see temperatures reaching 68 or 69 degrees. so a mild, milder than average week ahead. sunny skies. >> enjoy diane creeping up to 70. hey, does that make up for all the dark early afternoons? >> chris i was going to say that we're now getting our sunsets back just a little bit like after 5:00. >> not that you're paying attention or counting. i always look all right. >> coming up in sports, it's the sunsets and the niners season. thankfully that was tough. a fight to the finish though. niners. cardinals getting scrappy in the

plenty of regulars out, which meant a chance for some other guys to show what they can do. but george kittle did play using the tablet to say, oh, hi, mom. yeah, i love george. jauan jennings entered the day just 77 yards shy of his first 1000 yard season, but ended up 25 yards short because he got ejected late in the second quarter, got a couple of scuffles. george is getting after it. the cardinals defender also taught jennings a toss. it is jennings firing up the faithful who made the trip to glendale. couple plays later, nine time all pro kyle juszczyk pushing in quarterback josh dobbs for the tying score. he wants a

handshake, but ricky pearsall and george kittle fly around instead. that's a reference to dobbs aerospace engineering degree. they call him the astronaut. he got the start today with purdy out, and then in the second dobbs returns the favor. gets it to purdy. his third touchdown of the season. looking like the guy the niners drafted in the first round. down three. brock purdy looking on and the last 40 niners touchdown of the season. get it to jue 36 yards and dives into the end zone. but the niners lose 4724. finished the season six and 11. they won just one of their final eight games. they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020. not how anybody expected this season to go. >> we've been processing it all year, you know, so we've been trying to get there. you know, you don't really accept that you're not going to get there until you get eliminated from the playoffs. so we've had to deal with this for the last three weeks. so we've been processing it ready to finish this up. trying to finish it with a win. didn't get that done today, but excited to get to this off season and figure out how to not be in this situation again. >> disaster in dallas after

an odd kickoff sails out of bounds. it hits a cheerleader in the head. watch out. oh, she appearede embarrassed than hurt. fun fact our intern ryan went to school with her at ucsb. he says, i know that girl. i didn't know that last minute surprise. trey lance getting his start a first start since week two of the 2022 season. he broke his ankle playing for the niners and brock purdy took over and the rest is history. lance was 20 of 30 for 244 passing but no touchdowns. pass comes up short there on fourth and goal. so a tough day for lance. but he got a chance to play washington wins it with two seconds to go marcus mariota to terry mclaurin. and that is your ball game washington wins 2319. was it the last game for mike mccarthy as head coach. we shall see. all right. basketball news warriors forward jonathan kuminga injured on this play in the second quarter against memphis last night. ouch. went down awkward on that right ankle today. an mri confirmed a significant lateral ankle sprain. he's going to be reevaluated in three weeks. really unfortunate timing. timing for jay kay, who's been playing his best ball for the better part of the last month. the injury timeline means at the

earliest, he won't be ready to go until late january, early february. >> yeah, brutal. jay kay has been playing so well and obviously such a big part of what we're doing. and you know, he's our most athletic scorer or finisher. and he's been he's been playing so well. so it's a it's a tough one. >> warriors kings tipping off righ
