chance to dry out, until you get to about sunnyvale, where the rain is starting to come back there, and downtown san jose some sprinkles, but overall, not any heavy rain. the south county also seeing some spotty showers moving through. so we can still see all of this rain that continues to move through the bay area, and the snow that's coming down in the sierra. we do still have the blizzard warning that continues there. looking at as we go into the morning, some spotty showers, and cold air moving in, so any rain that falls is not going to feel good at all, and then going into late morning, early afternoon, still seeing some pockets of some heavy downpours. notice as we go into nt to, ytou start to see blue on the map in the area of mt. hamilton, where we could see some snow coming down tonight and also for some of our higher elevations in parts of the north bay, it does show a wintry mix, and even the possibility of our east bay hills for mt. diablo toward the

tri-valley as well seeing some of the snow covering the hills by tomorrow morning and spotty rain through tomorrow, at least for the first part of the day, before it really starts to clear out. we still see some rain drops on the camera lens here in san jose, as we go throughout the day in campbell, look at the cold temperatures. it only reaches 50 degrees, and then it dips once again, and some of our warmer spots today will only reach 52. it's going to be very cool, especially from what we're used to, in some upper 40s, freezing temperatures for wednesday and thursday, and rain chances return again for the weekend. as we head over to es. >> two highway closures. we'll show you first our0. 58 is not closed, it's all right. i wanted to show you soupy conditions. folks are traveling, it's blurry as we look at the dublin grade in the same area the tri-valley, we have this closure, the windy section of highway 84. folks, if you try once in a while to use that a cut-through

between 680 and mission, you cannot use it. if you always use t will you have to avoid that as well for the next couple of days. that is closed because of a mudslide. there has been a car crash and our crew is headed over to the scene, basically between 680 and mission. do not use that windy section along the railroad tracks and we're still waiting to find out whether or not it's going to affect the ace train which has to use that portion of the tracks to get down into the south bay. the "a" train coming out of the altamont. we don't traditionally tell us whether or not they're able to go through the area until they . we have wet, sloppy roadways and the other highway aut ovgh i've seen a lot of spinouts reported. here is 101, light traffic through palo alto. there is ikea, where contessa said we could rent furniture maybe in the future. >> maybe in the future is right, thanks, mike. it's 4:50.

the cash back. he emailed the company, called tesla and visited the showroom in person, but every avenue was a dead end. so he asked u to intervene. we sent tesla headquarters a note, we did not hear back, but simon did. he got his five grand. maybe we can help steer you dispute toward a successful resolution. tell us about it at nbcbayarea.com/responds or call us at 888-996-tips. get ready, lovebirds, valentine's day right around the corner. despite a rise in consumer spending, fewer americans are planning to celebrate the holiday this year, but those who will celebrate not watching their pennies. the national retail federation say americans plan to spend about $160 on their valentine's day year, up 13% from last year. total spend something predicted to exceed $20 billion. >> wow. >> that's a lot of chocolate. >> yep, a lot of love >> a lot of love. 4:57 right now.
