back to our breaking news -- a massive (7-point-9 earthquake hit off the coast of alaska.. back to our breaking news on this tuesday morning. a massive 7.9 earthquake hit off the coast of alaska. here you can see the seismogr h seismograph. the size of that earthquake there. that triggered a tsunami watch for our california coastline.

in the bay area it has been called off within the last 20 minutes or so. san francisco's department of emergency management is telling people, however, to stay away from the coast line for at least 12 hours. we could see some strong waves out there as a result of this earthquake that happened off the coast of alaska. we're monitoring, we are not hearing any damage so far to report, but people there in kodiak have been evacuated to higher ground, many people evacuated to gymnasiums in that area and whatnot. continuing to monitor that. right now you've been monitoring the fog. >> yeah, the fog and we are also going to be watching a storm that will be coming in for tomorrow as we get a live look outside in san jose right now, it's mainly clear start to the morning, also some chilly temperatures and here is what to expect with our morning start at 47 degrees, our high today will be up to 59 and for the morning it will be mostly clear in the south bay, but as we go into the afternoon we're keeping that sunshine a very pleasant day ahead. by tomorrow that rain will return in the afternoon.

here is a look at our high temperatures for today, up to 57 degrees in livermore and concord as well as 57 in oakland and palo alto. santa rosa 55 degrees. starting out this morning with those chilly temperatures, you do want to make sure you're prepared for the day as it will be a chilly start. so a hat and a coat good options today. then for the rest of the day sunglasses and you also don't have to worry about rain or stepping in any puddles today. so a good one for the heels. tomorrow we will be back to rain boots once that rain starts to move in. here is the storm system i'm tracking right now, we can see the clouds, here is the sensor of the low pressure and here is the cold front and clouds extending out ahead of that. we are starting to see the rain moving into seattle as well as portland and this will be dipping to the south as we go into tomorrow. so as it makes its progress here, we're tracking out the timing of when it will arrive in the north bay. as we get a look at today into early tomorrow we will start to see the cloud cover increasing. by 1:30 tomorrow afternoon it's

moving through the north bay and approaching san francisco and oakland. so early afternoon for tomorrow is when we will start to see that rain moving in. it makes its southward progress into the south bay by the evening commute for tomorrow and then it will still have scattered showers staying with us through thursday. off and on rain expected until early on friday morning. looking at the possibility of getting at least a half inch of rain for much of the bay area. there may be spots getting an inch of rain or more, especially as you head through the east bay and farther to the north. while we get rain the sierra has the potential to get a couple of feet of snow in some of the higher elevations. at lake level we may get up to 15 inches of snow and this is going to be a fairly strong storm producing some gusty winds for the sierra. for us we will have that round of rain moving in, scattered showers continuing into thursday and then by friday it's all clear. it will be cool, though, behind this system and then it gradually warms up as we go into the weekend with sunshine in the forecast through at least early

next week. as we head over to mike, you've been tracking a couple early morning issues that have since cleared up, right? >> things have cleared up nicely for the morning commute. looking at all green sensors throughout the bay but none of the green highlighting that was the rain on the roadways for the last couple days. maybe some more coming as kari is tracking about. we will track the changes but so far an easy drive south bay in towards san francisco, throughout the east bay and north bay. the only thing we're watching is the fog drifting around that's the orangish yellow highlighting up there, that's where it may be tougher to see in spots like novato and north of there. no i think maar issues your drive times over toward the bay bridge. great stuff before 5:00. as we're looking at your transit systems as well, no delays for these rails. live look san mateo bridge, an easy drive across, you can even see the high-rise which is better than we can see yesterday. the farther south in fremont we are looking past the truck scales, head lights headed south towards the silicon valley and
