first we have the freeze and frost warnings in effect. once again, here's a look at the satellite radar composite image. we've got cold air flowing down from our north as we have had the last couple of days. mainly clear skies today, but they may not stay clear very long and my clicker isn't working. so let me just go back over to my computer. oh there it is. okay, sometimes these things need a little kick. right now it's a little breezy around the bay area, especially near the coast where we have wind speeds between ten and about 15mph. we have lighter wind speeds in our inland areas. let's take a look at current temperatures 52 in san francisco, mid 50s in oakland, hayward, san jose, redwood city and 52 at half moon bay. looking down onto san francisco from mount tam. a clear view right now. 59 degrees in santa rosa. petaluma 5254 napa. also mid 50s at fairfield, concord and livermore. let's check out our forecast headlines overnight and tomorrow morning. frost and freeze alerts will be in effect once again the next two days. we'll see clouds increasing a bit with rain developing late tuesday. but the larger rainstorms will
5:19 pm
be coming in wednesday through friday, with more rain and windy conditions as well. so the forecast animation overnight shows clear skies as long as the skies are clear overnight. that allows for radiational cooling that allows temperatures to drop. so once again, we have a freeze warning and a frost advisory in effect for the bay area from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. tomorrow. that covers all of the bay area except the city of san francisco and the coastline. the areas in the darker color here are those under the freeze warning. temperatures in some of these locations may drop down to as low as 26 degree. tomorrow morning. the blue closer to the coast represents where the frost advisory is in effect, and low temperatures in those areas may drop as low as 32 degrees. so again, it's going to be very cold overnight. look for lows of 30 degrees at santa rosa and at livermore, 32 at concord down in morgan hill, a low of 32. and right around the bay shoreline. we'll see lows in the mid to upper 30s. only san francisco and half moon bay will have low temperatures at or above 40 degrees. tomorrow's highs under mostly sunny afternoon
5:20 pm
skies will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s, as they have been for the last several days. perhaps we'll see 60 degrees at san jose san jose. that will be our warm spot. now. the forecast animation shows rain arriving late tuesday, continuing with spotty rain into wednesday. heavier rain with gusty wind on thursday, and there will be rain on friday as well as we head into the weekend. looks like the rain may may linger, so we're talking about a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale on wednesday, with the chance of some snow in the higher bay area peaks. because cold air will accompany this rainfall, then rainy and gusty on thursday, rain again on friday, maybe a little bit of a break on saturday, but more rain is likely to come in on sunday. it's still winter. >> yeah, we should expect this. >> exactly. >> okay. all right. moving o sports. i think there's like a game that people might be watching. i don't know, i. >> think it's kind of a big game. >> super bowl going on right now. but look i know that you guys have heard this before, but it looks as though the deebo
5:23 pm
now between the chiefs and eagles in new orleans. the eagles are up 24. nothing at the half. next year's super bowl 60 will be right here in the bay area at levi's stadium. the niners hope to bounce back from a disappointing season and make the super bowl in their home stadium, but if they get there, it's looking like wide receiver deebo samuel won't be with them. espn reports that samuel has asked the niners to be traded,
5:24 pm
and this time the niners are willing to accommodate him. the report is that he can seek out a new team. deebo had just four touchdowns this season, a career low for when he's been healthy. there are some salary cap issues that need to be worked out in order to make a trade, but it does seem like tebow's time with the niners is done, and it looks like former cal star aaron rodgers will not return to the jets. espn also reporting it's unlikely the quarterback will be with new york in 2025 with the. with the formal announcement expected to happen soon. rodgers spent two seasons with the jets, but only played one after tearing his achilles in the 2023 season opener. he also fought. he's 41. he's been flirting with retirement and the thought of that for several seasons now, so we'll just have to see. it's only been one game, but the jimmy butler era with the warriors got off to a great start. butler scored 25 in his debut with golden state, the most for a warrior in his team debut since kevin durant in 2016. last night, the dubs trailed in chicago by as many as
5:25 pm
24 and then poured it on to lead by as many as 25. since butler typically plays slow and the warriors like to go fast, there was some question about how he would fit in with steph curry, but curry had 24 points in the third quarter and finished with a game high of 34, while butler got to the free throw line 13 times and made sure the warriors didn't blow yet another late lead. everybody was all smiles after this one. >> you know, they say opposites attract and a lot of ways in life, and i don't think i could be a better complement to him and vice versa in the sense that they're not leaving him ever. probably two people would never leave him. so there's so much space for everybody else. and i get the easy job. >> he's like the exact opposite of me, which is kind of funny. like i'm shooting 16 threes. he shot one. he's dominating the paint. i'm dominating outside the perimeter. it has the potential to be really, really fun. >> looks like they're having fun with one another. as for the man
5:26 pm
butler was traded for, andrew wiggins was officially introduced by the miami heat this morning, along with former warrior kyle anderson and davion mitchell. wiggins looking forward to a fresh start in south beach. >> you know you always you know you see the trade rumors and stuff like that. but it's the nba. you know you don't really think it's going to happen until it happens. you know you know once i got the news you know it was just it's time for a new chapter. you know it's hard you know. but that's that's the nba. >> so different right. like these guys think that they're going to be with their teams forever. and then they get a call and it's over. so but sometimes change is good. >> you know that's the heartbreak that comes with the territory. yeah they should figure it out. >> but how fun steph and jimmy butler just like like that was just good stuff. >> fun to watch. all right sarah thank you. of course. well just ahead bringing kids together from across the bay area with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand.
