pachecko boulevard. dp there was water left that that did not refreeze for drivers but let's take another look at the video from a few hours ago, water was nushing there. through. public works says they can't be sure what caused the break but of course with temperatures as cold as they have been over the last couple nights that is certainly the most likely pull brint. shouldn't have problems with your -- yesterday morning south in san jose people were waking up to icicles hanging from a tree outside of a school. that was a visible sign of how cold it was as we were setting record lows all across the bay area christina was telling us. on the north side in napa in wine country, a fountain, the entire fountain froze right up. people in napa we're talking

about the record lows they set which i think were 7 or 8 degrees below the fref winter low. that was a shock for the morn end, even saw on twitter a couple saying at their house it got down too the single digits and the farthest northern part of our viewing area, but back live in martinez it's cold, it's near the freezing mark. i'm a little thankful because yesterday morning we were talking about the danger on bridges and it was even tolder. temperatures are on the way up. the latest in martinez. chase cain, "today in the bay." >> i could tell you didn't look as bundled. >> warm here in the studio. >> that's me. 5:11. a south bay couple under house arrest accused of orchestrating an international car scam. >> the investigation into google's barges on the bay. >> and federal charges could be

i hate to say it, remember yesterday, we're headed back toward those levels as we get into this weekend. i'm going to talk about with  why. the reason why it's a touch milder this morning is because we have added a few clouds, also some of the cold air was able to mix out so we're starting out a couple of degrees warmer in san francisco at 39. though i hate to use that word warmer. in reference to 39 degrees. as we head throughout the day, things are going to change. north bay is going to get shower activity. into the evening hours, and the showers spread to the south as we head throughout tomorrow and that means we could see some snowfall at low levels. we'll talk about that. i'm going to show you where. 50 in cupertino. foster city 50, 49 in san francisco, so your microclimates not showing much variance. 49 degrees in pleasanton. let's get to the good stuff. this is a very rare occasion in the bay area. what's going to follow is even more rare. i'll get that in a second.

fremont southbound past the truck scales no problem. the volume in both directions an easy live. continuing as the limit through oakland and the bay bridge where we showed you the maze. we're starting to see a few cars off the berkeley curve. the seech shore freeway moves freely. an easy drive into san francisco. back to you. >> thank you. the person officials say the responsible for the destructive rim fire could face federal charges today. the district attorney declared their intention to prosecute the hunter they think set an illegal fire that got out of control. the rim fire was one of the largest on record in california, caused 54 merchandi$54 million .

water. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that was a lot of water. if they didn't get it cleaned up when they did i'm sure it would be ice. fortunately they got the water main break turned off, shut down and now cleaned up. you can see only remnants of the sand that they spread on the road to make sure if there was water it did not refreeze. look that the video from a few hours ago. it sent water gushing down the avenue, or boulevard, rather, here in martinez. public works cannot be sure what caused the break but of course the main culprit, the suspect for that are these freezing temperatures that we had for two nights in a row as it hover mears the freezing mark. to the south in san jose you were no exception. it was also freezing down there. some woke up toisticle hanging from a tree. also at the san jose airport,

planes had to be de-iced. in napa, record lows set last night maybe record lows will be set this morning. christina loren will keep us filled in on that. when you have it cold enough to freeze a fountain like that, that is cold weather last night. and no doubt again tonight. back live in martinez, this road has cleared up. we should warn you if you are driving across many bridges and overpasses here use caution, slow down and be aware that there may still be patches of black ice. yesterday morning that black ice spun out a couple of cars. chase cain, "today in the bay." >> thanks, chase. severe weather in idaho will likely postpone the search for an exclusive and his family. because of rain and snow all of the experienced teams have been

california fighting for the crop as frigid temperatures threaten to destroy the fruit. north of bakersfield, ice clings to the tree, workers trying to pick what they can but there is not much they can do. the cold weather left burns on a lot of the fruit. this trickles down, less fruit means less work and smaller paychecks. >> i wish i was a millionaire so i could help them. but i'm not. i'm trying to survive the same as they do. >> it is indeed good reminder that what we complain about is trivial. >> that's so tough on the farmers down there. i grew up in that area. they do so much to try to fight the freeze. mother nature kicks in. meteorologist christina loren, our own freeze of our own. >> freezing up here. when we see damage to the wine crop, that typically happens in the spring so a lot of people have been inquiring about that. 39 in san francisco, north bay at 23, it's cold all across the board as we head throughout the

day. temperatures are going to remain very cool for this time of year. we're talking about record lows for today. and even colder mornings headed our way. so low 50s across the board. foster city, 50. 51 in mid market. not a lot of microclimate variance between the daytime highs. that's going to be the case for the next move days. 52 degrees in mill valley, 50 in fremont, about 48 degrees today in san ramon. i'm forecasting about 49 degrees in san francisco. let's get to the next weathermaker because that moves in as early as 9:00 p.m. tonight. you see the showers coming into the north bay. we continue this, stop the clock into tomorrow morning when the cold blast comes through. that's when we have a slight chance of seeing low level snow, that could be the case in gilroy and morgan hill. that's looking the most promising in addition to the eastern foothills around san jose. we could see a little bit of this activity in the east bay,

especially the higher elevations. we'll see a mix down to 500 feet. that could make for hazardous driving conditions tomorrow morning. you want to make sure to stick with us. i'll be in tomorrow morning, i want to make sure everybody is safe. we'll track this, having live reporters across the bay area. this is a rare opportunity for us. and it's early. we're not in winter yet. it's 18 days before christmas time so this is what we're looking at. inland valleys, a slight chance for the snow getting into the saturday morning. sunday into monday, i want to draw your attention to lows because in a i digs to the cold air we're going to see poor air quality at that point so we could be sparing the air sunday and monday. tuesday into wednesday, temperatures start to creep up, then 63 degrees has never looked so good. not till next thursday, mike. but it is on the way. there is warmer weather on the way. it's going to be cold between now and then. >> till then we rub our hands together. looking here, cars moving smoothly, both sides of the freeway here.
