you get ready to head out the door. either going to be very cool start. some upper 40s throughout the morning and some mid-50s by 11:00. you see that we don't warm up much more than there, only upper 50s today. normally we're at about 69 degrees for this time of year, so we're much cooler than where we should be with our highs in san francisco to 58 degrees, 60 in naacp, 59 in oakland. this is all behind that rain and the cold front that moved through yesterday evening. as you're getting dressed this morning, make sure you add on the layers. it's going to be a cool start. you do need a jacket. probably some long sleeves. a good day to also wear some pants or some jeans, keep you nice and comfortable and warm. we still do have unsettled weather across the region. we're seeing rain to the north of us even as the cold front sits well to the south of us. there's snow coming in the sierra. heads up if you're going in that direction that the roads may be

quite slippery. we're going to see light, spotty rain moving across the bay area and tracking one or two cells lingering across parts of the peninsula making the roads wet once again. we also have some rain along the coast moving around san gregorio and moving to the east near redwood terrace. watching that this morning, highest chance of rain will be in the north bay with some cool temperatures that are going to be very uncomfortable today. and then with that rain quickly passing, a few of them, looks like it could make it into parts of the east bay. so a slight chance of rain for the afternoon. then as we head through the rest of the forecast saturday dry. most of sunday dry. then we do start to see rain moving into the north bay during the afternoon. then late sunday night the next round of rain moves in. it also looks like it could bring in heavy sierra snow next week. we'll see several rounds of this. we're not out of the clear and not going to see any dry weather for quite a while. we're going to get these breaks

in between. so tomorrow and saturday are dry days in the forecast. san francisco reaching upper 60s. warming up and cooling down. we still have a lot of roller coaster weather over the next few days. mike, you're tracking a few puddles and how it affects drivers. >> be careful. as kari is talking about we had that rain travel through. road shows you some damp roadways and patches around the bay. over here in colder conditions, slick icy roadways. you know what, those aren't major commute. 580, altamont pass slowing westbound in the direction there. camper roadways. blue is where you might find minor puddles. you might find an alternate but you don't need one. gilroy through morgan hill at speeds 17 both directions to and from santa cruz move nicely. no delays reported on longer

insurance and fred had the surgery successfully. then a $1700 bill arrived. laura said she asked nationwide why it didn't cover the vet bill, and it cited the pre-existing condition, which she thought was covered. she felt cheated. she was stuck with that $798 bill so she contacted us, we contacted nationwide. it said a sales agent clearly stated pre-existing conditions are ineligible for coverage. we asked nationwide to hear the recording of laura's conversation. it did not provide the tape but said later on it reviewed the call and found that laura's claim was now eligible for coverage. nationwide paid the $1798. laura said she is so thrilled. she told us fred is doing just fine. pet insurance isn't too much different from human health insurance, there are lots of terms and conditions even though

it involves a cat. have you to look for exclusions and exemptions, you have to read the fine print in the pet policy the same you do in your people policy, which you do, you read every word. if you or your animals have a consumer complaint call us or logon to nbcbayarea.com/responds. >> oh, fred. soft fad food for fred. >> oakland a's looking for a new way to get to the ballpark. gondola. >> a new ballpark. they are concerned there's no b.a.r.t. and very little room for parking. that's where gondolas will come in. operating from the b.a.r.t. station over 88 on0 and ending up on jack london square. you see on the map here. fans we talked to said they are in. >> there's a better way to do things. i know some of the transportation is b.a.r.t.
