creating that fog coming up in a moment. right now temperatures mostly in the 50, we have a cool day ahead. we're counting on showers for tomorrow. lots to talk bin your full forecast. watch out for the fog. back to you. >> downtown san jose you see the city lights reflecting off of the fog. visibility could be a factor on your drive in to work. >> i stop at almost every green light. bob redell is live with more. how is it out there? >> reporter: well, yeah, we're at 85 south at 82. good morning. not as bad as maybe what christina saw on her way in or what i saw on the way in from livermore where visibility was easily less than a quarter mile but there is this dense fog advisory, just into effect about 45 minutes ago. that includes the peninsula, south bay, at the east bay and the north bay. so basically most of the bay area. and when they issue the dense

fog advisory it's because they are telling us there could be visibilities of less than a quarter mile. clearly here 85, south 82, visibility is probably more like a mile. it's not going to affect the commute through here at least not right now. keep in mind if you have a long commute going through a lot of areas, like i said you could be hitting those, livermore, campbell, where your visibility is going to be less. if you are in those areas where you have pea soup on the roads, remember you don't want to flash your brights to see better because you end up with the white wall staring back at you. if you have fog lights you want to do those or your beams on regular, not on the high because it does become very blinding. again, dense fog advisory issued by the national weather service around 3:50 this morning. they are going to say that's in effect until 9:00 so through the morning commute. right now our morning commute clearly has not started in mountain view. i wonder if traffic mike is seeing in action. >> bob, pretty much as you saw

because of the volume of traffic, bob is right. there is light traffic now but we're looking at the fremont shot. i turn the cameras south. as i drove down this stretch not so long ago not early enough i was a little late and i had to slow further because we had visibility issues. from mission boulevard south on 880 into milpitas out of the fremont area we have dense fog. it was down to a quarter mile. it was clearer there. this here is san jose, 101 as you head south toward 680. even tougher to see the houses on the other side of the freeway. this is palo alto camera. so north of where bob is, now it's deceptive. our camera is atop a high rise hotel across from ikea and it's the low clouds hovering just above the deck making it tough to see these cars but driving on 101 is a little clearer than this might appear.

still you have to lower speeds. you have bright -- the high beams make it tougher to see. we're looking to the north bay where a smooth drive continues for 101. we'll watch as the fog changes your conditions. no big incidents, that's fortunate. >> fog down here in a lot of parts, snow in the sierra and night skiers zipped along five feet of fresh snow last night. some places got more. kirkwood had eight feet of snow. at the 50-50 brewing company in truckee the new snow means business is good. >> i think a lot of people figured out the snow was wet mixed with rain so it was busy but not as crazy busy as it would be this time of year. >> despite several feet of snow at the highest elevations in the past few days, state water officials do not think it will have much impact on the drought. >> our weather steam keeping an

eye on the radar. another round of rain could be coming soon. christina loren will be back with a more in depth look at today's forecast. you can get weather alerts in your neighborhood sent to your inbox. visit our website nbcbayarea.com. >> let's turn to sochi, the olympics and a live look outside this morning. that's the mountain cluster in sochi. this is where several events are happening now. >> many of those are going to air in prime time tonight. right now we're going to give you a peek at some of the results that have already happened. >> if you would rather wait until tonight to find out close your eyes, wait for the music to end. we'll tell you when to come on back. >> safe to come on back.

try not to look surprised or anything. >> right now snowboarder shaun white competing for a shot at olympic history skblxt he is hoping to be the first american man to win the same winter olympic event three times, talking about the half-pipe. many of the riders have concerns about the safety of the course. rider after rider tested that run. there were dozens of fall, only a few tricks. a lot of complaints. many say the rising temperature causing the snow to turn to slush. >> it's not best. i mean, i don't know. i don't want to bag on it but it's disappointing. just the weather and the fact that it's so soft in the middle it's hard to get across it wall to wall. you know, we're dealing with it. >> danny davis who is considered white's biggest competition called the course, quote, garbage. he says it's a shame the quality of the half-pipe doesn't match

the riders. >> this time johnny quinn not alone. his bobsled teammate tweeted these photos of quinn trying to pry open the elevator door. quinn's attempts to free his friend less successful than when he was trapped in a bathroom a few days ago. quinn says he saw just one option when he found himself in this bathroom with no way out. he busted out. >> i hit it even harder and my fist went through the door. when i saw the light of the room come in hey, time to get out of here. >> i opened the door and turned the corner. johnny is there in a towel with a blank stare on his face. >> quinn is not going to compete until next saturday when the four-man bobsled event kicks off. and check this out. this is a picture tweeted by steven langton. the caption, the team men's meeting and the door is locked. where is johnny quinn when you

need him? >> like mcgyver. you can catch all of the excitement starting at 3:00 this afternoon here on nbc bay area. we're going to show you men's and women's cross country skiing, women's luge and women's slopestyle skiing. then in prime time at 8:00 we'll show you men's half-pipe snowboarding, women's slopestyle skiing and women's ski jumping plus the pairs short program in figure skating. always fun to watch. >> let's check in with christina a. ton of fog. alerts about the fog. >> yeah. really want to make sure you're aware of it. it's easier if you know what you're in store for before you head out the front door. this is exactly what we're working with. live picture of san jose shows you thick fog. make sure you don't dilly dally. give yourself time especially if you have to take the little ones to school. really thick pockets in the north bay where we accumulated the highest rainfall

accumulations. as we head throughout the day today, this is going to stick with us. livermore down to a quarter mile visibility here. we've got really thick fog moving all the way across the south bay this morning. so even though your city like san francisco for example, is reporting 10 miles or better, you are still going to run into thick fog on the way to work. we bring in mike inouye. you know how it looks. >> we took this shot, this is on the traffic as it was flowing westbound 580 right around as thea hara coming in through dublin. we can barely see the lights out of the fog and you can see actually the silhouette of the shopping center there. that's way over there. let me get you the fog map, the orange, the arrow was there where the camera is. it's where the arrow is. and the orange, that's where there is going to be tough visibility. there you go. smoother flow because it was relatively light for the tri-valley even though the bottom of the screen the south

bay doesn't show that orange we did see from our live cameras and driving through the area patches of pretty thick fog through san jose, campbell, milpitas, careful out there as that moves around. there was early morning fog for the dumbarton bridge which is rare in the bay area. probably for the newark side. you can see clearly across, no fog impeding the view of the high rise. watch along the coast and the fog will drift around as it will because it's not anchored. this is on the oakland side. a smooth drive from the bay bridge toll plaza. whoops. then you can't see the clouds above. that's a note about the low clouds around the bay area. back to you. >> thanks much. 4:41. still ahead, prestigious honor for willie brown, not everybody happy about it. >> the teenager accused of building bombs halfway across

the country could soon be home in the bay area. we'll explain next. it's a wondrous sensation of clarity and alertness... it's owning your opponent...

it's knowing beyond a doubt "you got this"... it's keeping your head down, your eye on the ball, and knocking it out of the park... it's getting in the zone... it's keeping on your toes... on target... on top... focus is staring the world in the face and saying "bring it"... focus is power... focus is life... and 5-hour energy is focus.
