fashifog may make the drive to work more tough. temperatures above average, really good looking day ahead, if you can tolerate that poor air quality but i can tell you, today and into tomorrow it's looking better than what we experienced over the weekend and that's going to continue to be the trend as we head throughout this week with more moisture on the way. today though it is however illegal to burn. you're going to find the best air quality, san francisco coast and the east bay, the east shore near valley spot especially in santa clara valley, the trivalley we have that poor air quality as that dome of high pressure just kind of sits there. we don't have a lot of wind here. they are getting wind at the coast contributing to better air quality. 48 degrees in san francisco, on your way to 62, hazy sun. rain is on the way. we're going to talk about when it returns to your forecast, where you live, your microclimate coming up in moments. first let's check your drive with mike. >> good morning. one of the factors for your drive is this fog impeding our view of the towers of the golden

the odds were not exactly in favor of this scenario but talk about lucky, two winning super lotto tickets, two sold over the weekend right here in the bay area. >> they are worth $3.5 million each. one out of richmond, the other in milpitas. >> of course chris you got your winning tickets as well? she has not got one of the tickets because she has to go to work. >> reporter: i feel like i won the lottery because alan and i are going live where we need a hot cup of cough e. we don't need 3.5 million stinkin' dollars. that is the good news. this is one of the places where the super lotto plus tickets was sold and in richmond also a jackpot winner. all of the numbers matched plus that mega millions, plus that lucky bonus number, right? so consider the fact that neither of these stores is
5:15 am
considered a lucky retailer, according to the lotto website. that means they haven't sold a big winning ticket in the last year. that changes this weekend, the 7-eleven store the arco am/pm store on san pablo avenue in richmond parkway in richmond sold matching tickets, matched all five plus the mega number, and the winners can choose 30 annual payments or the cash value and while some of us are wishing we had bought a ticket, others are hoping the tickets they did buy were a match. >> it's awesome, because the last winner was just not too far from here. i mean, it would be awesome if i would have won that ticket but i'm not complaining. congratulations to whoever's the new winner. you know, it's awesome. >> reporter: it is awesome just to know somebody in our midst is a lucky person. if you have a lotto ticket and want to check your numbers, they are 1, 5, 16, 24, 30, and the

mega number is my lucky number, it is the number 7. the winner has 180 days to claim their money. we're trying to calculate how much the winner actually gets. there is that option to get one payment a year for 30 years and then there's that lump sum option that a lot of folks are doing the math on that one. my calculator doesn't quite go that high. back to you guys. >> that's a pretty penny no doubt. thanks so much, chris. it is 5:16 right now. the spacex tragon capsule arrives safely at the international space station a short time ago. scott, mission mostly accomplished. >> the part where spacex gets paid is accomplished. spacex has a contract with nasa to deliver cargo to the space station. it's been there several times before, each time unmanned. manned flights are coming. the launch of the falcon 9 on

5:19 am
i'm pretty sure he's familiar with the bay area weather. 5:18, thanks for waking up with us especially on a monday. don't dilly daly, getting out the front door taking the precious cargo to school between now and 8:30, talking about really thick fog and that air quality is poor. we're at 44 degrees in livermore, 39 in san martin and 44 degrees in san jose. even though it's a spare the air day keep in mind it's not that cold. so that's the good news. you can't burn that firewood, if that is your only source of heat. temperatures are nice and comfortable, 64 degrees for the south bay. the peninsula is at 64 degrees as well. trivalley up to 66 and temperatures well above average for this time of year. we should have the upper 50s this time of year so it's comfortable, if you can tolerate the poor air quality. much better air on the way and rain as well. 64 degrees for your tuesday.

5:26 am
studying this issue for more than ten years now, and critics say that's entirely too long. these are technically called unmanned aircraft systems or uass. most people just call them drones. right now it's illegal to fly a drone for commercial purposes here in the u.s. even though, drones are flying all over the place here. in fact the faa's own data shows close calls between drones and commercial aircraft is rising quickly. between february and november of last year, the faa recorded 193 different incidents where airplane pilots reports drones flying nearby. the faa had hoped to get more rules in place by later this month, but it now appears it could be longer before any meaningful drone rules are passed. meanwhile, more and more drones fill our skies, whether they like it or not. if you want to see more on this story, watch the full version on our 6:00 newscast later tonight
