thinking, it may get worse as the morning goes along. just getting started here. we've seen the fog move around the bay area in patches and drifting by. here ho here's a look from above the tower andcamara --ra o the gol. driving, a mess. it will slow you down. visibility seen down to zero at san carlos, at the airport and in oakland. seen it a little less in parts of the south bay where visibility now at about a quarter of a mile, and about a half of a mile in livermore. all of this measured in miles, and the lower the number, the it's also very cold with those temperatures just above freezing in santa rosa. if you go farther to the north, encountering freezing temperatures and fog, may get freezing fog which can deposit on the bridges and overpasses and make things really icy.

bundle up, because you will need a warm coat with the temperatures in the 30s and 40s this morning. also you might want to wear some nice comfortablettin out there p the sun. after dealing with fog and clouds this morning, we will get mostly sunny skies. highs upper 50s and low trackin couple storm systems moving in. this one bringing rain to the specific northwest and this will fizzle out before it makes it into the bay area. also bring in more clouds, which may inhibit some of the fog from developing for tomorrow. then as we go into friday, going to track rain moving in and, yes, i know this is in time for the weekend and outdoor plans. still seeing waves of showers move through. slight chance saturday and heavier round of rain moving in again between sunday and monday. look at a few of these systems passing by. overall looking at the bigger picture, we are not going to see
