they serve. vicky? >> and a lot of bay area departments starting to adopt those body cameras in 2015. thank you, richard. >> it is 6:32 right now. we want to give you a live look at our emeryville camera. some of the cloud have sunk down in and it is a very chilly start to what was a very clear morning up to this point. it was very chilly? >> bone chilling cold. it's the coldest air of the season so far. 46 in san jose. kris made a really astute

observation. this is what it will feel like on new year's eve. mike's been on top of this for you this morning. you can really see that dense fog in sonoma county starting to spread south and a little pocket just developed here in the tri-valley between livermore and concord. here are your temperatures. 58 degrees in the south bay looking good, 56 for the north bay, 57 on the peninsula, 53 on the east shore and 56 and turning windy in san francisco. tri-vall tri-valley, you'll hit 57 later on. new year's eve, it's going to be chilly out there. will there be fog? a nice clear shot of those feerks from san francisco. as you know, a lot of people come to that beautiful city for this big event. so just keep in mind there's going to be a lot of traffic and a lot of people who may not be so familiar with driving around the city of san francisco. you got to bring that patience. right, mike? >> that's right, that's right.

absolutely because you don't want irritable drivers along with folks who may have celebrated a bit walking around. they'll be am bling, let's say, some folks. these folks making the direct approach in to san francisco. the metering lights turned on just about an hour ago. we'll see another burst about 9:00. so far the cash lanes are the issue. we have our san rafael cameras, there is fog definitely creeping down through san rafael. right now we're registering our road weather index. the orange blob there is petaluma. the road weather index doesn't recalculate for a couple of minutes. use caution up there. with those cold as christine said, there may be some patches of ice up there.

forward from his time with the 49ers. >> and it is a pretty start to what will be a very cold day. we're back with 15 minutes of nonstop news, traffic and weather after the break.

and we have an update to breaking news. police in san francisco are looking for two armed men responsible for a home invasion robbery. stephanie chuang joins us. steph, it's not too far from san francisco state and it's good to know no one was hurt. >> that's right. >> reporter: that's always the best news of course. we just got confirmation it was two men who broke into the house here on the 100 block here, a

couple blocks from the san francisco state university campus. the door is still open here and one patrol car. police say the two money robbed two young men at gunpoint. this was around 3:00 this morning. this is not student housing. these are private residences. police are still looking for thos two men. one person was examining the front window for presents. the two victims are young men. they may or may not be san francisco state students. one officer did describe them as understandably very shaken early this morning. again, the good news is no one was hurt. we also know the suspects took property, though it remains unclear what they took. we also don't know if this was a targeted home invasion. police did say there was a good deal of evidence inside and they have been in there with flashlights and taking pictures and dusting for prints around. the san francisco university police also responded.

i asked earlier about the frequency of home invasion robberies and he said, no, it's quite rare they have these home invasion robberies to report to. investigators still inside and wrapping up. the good news is no one was hurt. stephanie chuang, today in the day. >> i'm sorry if you said it and i missed it, the two suspects that were armed, do we know what they were armed with and whether they are a danger to the public potentially? >> police are saying they robbed the two young men at gun point so they are armed and still outstanding, they're looking for those two men. >> you did say that. thank you very much, i'm sorry i missed it. >> it's time to check the forecast as we give you a live look outside at san jose. how do you like that beautiful color scheme. good morning, christina.

>> good morning to you, vicky and kris. maybe you're just trying to head to the supermarket, i can tell you, it's chilly. maybe you're bundled up in bed because you have the day off. the fog will burn off by about lunch time. at this point you're socked in all the way from sonoma through marin county. let's talk about what's happening out there and get into some science this morning. i love when we have raw data that can show you exactly what's happening. ta take a look at this. what happens is high pressure comes in, it forces whatever moisture is available right to the surface and this is what we get as a result, a very thin marine layer that you can see from top to bottom here in this picture of the day bridge. that's some pretty cool stuff to you. tomorrow morning we're not going

to have a lot of moisture valuable but it is chilly. the wind will really crank by this evening. you can see that here on your futurecast at the immediate coast and through mountain passes up to 45 miles per hour. that means we'll have a wind chill factor today. look at where our temperatures are headed. they will plunge as we head through the last few days of 2014. as promised, i'm always moving you ahead in time trying to find our next rain chance. looks pretty good tuesday next week with a series of storms behind this one. >> the golden gate bridge shows you a light let's faulk about the golden gate bridge.

look at san rafael and our camera for 101 here. at times we've lost sight of the southbound headlights. we're building the volume. not a lot of slowing but conditions -- let's look at the bay bridge. christina showed you this shot. she explained the science of what's going on with the cloud. i'm just going to use the traffic shot. we're talking about the science of slowing down, visibility is lower, less reaction time but you do have a smooth drive over there. let's look at bay bridge traffic. those cash lanes, you have to wait a little longer but no problems out of the maze. let's get you that same look with the map. no problems for 37, the san rafael bridge or the bay bridge. concord down through pleasant hill and down through walnut creek, and the cash that had lanes blocked, looks like that's

just about cleared. no problems in toward pleasant hill. the rest of your bay moves pretty nicely but nothing dramatic. the south bay we have one incident, looks like it may be a stall, westbound 237. that's about it for the south bay other than northbound as you're passing by south coyote. and a storm coming up from morgan hill. >> thank you. a lot of breaking news we're following this morning. we have just learned airasia was not equipped with the satellite system that helped track the malaysia missing flight this year. meanwhile, crews have spotted oil slicks and debris in the java sea where authorities think the plane crashed sunday morning local time. the plane vanished from the radar as it was flying to

singapore from indonesia. there were 162 people on board. officials believe the plane flew into bad weather and crashed somewhere in the java sea. back in july a malaysian airline flight disappeared. and in july there was a plan shot down in ukraine, all 298 died on board. a the "today" show will have much more on this breaking story in

just a few minutes. any time we are not on the air, you can always get up to the minute information on our wb site. >> the worst kept secret in bay area sports finally became official yesterday. the 49ers and jim harbaugh announced they are going their separate ways. bob redell, it's safe to say not everybody's on board with this decision, particularly the fans. >> reporter: and you can't say it was a surprise either. there have been so many reports that coach jim harbaugh and team owner/ceo jed york weren't exactly the best of friends, kris. that's evident in this moment just before the game, you can see the awkward hug on the field between both men. the 49ers did go on to win the

game. fans we spoke with don't understand this decision. yes, this season itself wasn't the greatest, but look at the last three seasons, the three seasons prior. in each harbaugh led the team to nfc conference game and won a super bowl game. his record has been 44-19-1, hardly that of a losing coach. >> it's a horrible decision. it's the first year he hasn't made the playoffs as our coach. >> i'd like to see him stick around. he's done pretty good, taken us to the playoffs three out of four years. that's not bad. >> harbaugh is expected to take the head coaching job at the university of michigan. later this morning, the players will clean out their lockers and will be able to speak with the

media. at 1:00, they'll discuss this at a news conference. >> it will be an interesting morning. we'll hear from some of the players at 10:00. >> a lot of shuffling going on this black monday in nfl. well, of all the ways we can make the world a better place, making someone smiles seems like a very simple gesture. >> as you'll see in this story, one man's wish to see his wife smile during a very difficult time has taken on a life of its own. we have a story that will make you bay area proud. >> it was over a year ago that valerie's life was turned upside down with some very bad medical news. the time since has been filled with many unpleasant surprises, but one very nice within. and as you will see in this bay

area proud, one gift for the kindness of strangers keeps on giving. as hard as the doctors and nurse try to make it otherwise, valerie's twice monthly immunotherapy infusions are not all that pleasant. from the moment with the needle to the hours of nothing, there is not much to make her smile. which is why it is so great that should valerie need to smile, all she has to do is look at the purple polish at the tips of her toes and the story behind it. >> it's just something fun to get through this experience. >> reporter: valerie's experience began last august. it was just about a month before her wedding to her long-time partner when doctors told valerie the cough that had nagged her for more than three years was something very

serious, stage four lung cancer. >> it's just devastating to receive that diagnosis. >> reporter: the months that followed was a dark time, salary admits. but that is when with hopes of raising her spirits just a little, ralph took valerie to get a pedicure. she went with her favorite color, purple. then so did ralph. >> he said he'd do this purple as well to make me smile. >> it seemed to work. you were laughing pretty good there. >> yup. >> reporter: it turned out to be just the first, though, of many smiles. that's because after ralph posted a picture of their purple painted toes, a remarkable thing happened -- their friends started doing the same, followed by complete strangers, who had heard about what ralph had done. hundreds upon hundreds of them

all painting their toes and sending their pictures just to make valerie smile. >> it touches my heart, it really gets down to a deep level. and the support and the fun that i think people have with it has, though, become even more than that. with the help of friend, the wonderful gestures have grown into a fund-raising campaign, one that has raised more than $12,000 for lung cancer research and raised the spirits of a woman who needs it more than ever. since we first aired valerie's story in june, the purple toe pictures continue to come in, as has the money. valerie continues with her

immunotherapy tramts, still looking forward to be cancer free. >> your time now is 6:58. one final check now of the day's topster. >> season season police say none of the people living inside the home was hurt and so far no arrest has been made. >> let's bring in christina loren right now for one final check of the forecast. good morning, christina. >> good morning, vicky, good morning, kris, everybody at home. fog over the bay bridge almost crystal clear in san francisco

but that fog is settling in. it not going to watch all day. wind will crank later on ands that going east shore 53 and 55 in the north bay with a very cold morning on tap for tomorrow. let check that drive once more with mook inouye. >> around the base, no drama for the south bay pence larks not even the east bay through hayward. concord pfrpt, lower the speeds, visibility might be tough from here. southbound, 101 through san rafael. lower those speeds through petaluma, know vat owe, because

of that. back to you. >> that's what's happening on "today in the bay." we'll be back with you for more local news at: good morning. breaking overnight. debris spotted. searches locate objects that could be from that missing air asia passenger jet. as officials acknowledge the plane is most likely at the bottom of the sea. we're live with the latest developments on the search. >> rescued. crews say the final passengers trapped on the ferry off the italian coast t grueling 30-hour ordeal as the investigation moves forward. bundle up. up to 45 degrees below normal across the midwest, an arctic blast getting ready to spread to the east and south.
