47 is warm when you look at 27. we are under a frost and freeze alert through 9:00 a.m. a couple of freeze warnings mainly up through santa rosa, san rafael and the napa area so protect those three ps, pets, your plants and those pipes. so for any plants that you can't bring indoors, you have that protective covering over it. my dad used to do that all the time for the big plants in the backyard like his guava tree. satellite radar we have a few scattered showers but if you notice a lot of the rain off to the east, just south of us near. if i zoom closer to us, san francisco not seeing any rain. san jose looking dry but we have a little bit of instability just off the coast, and that's going to bring the chance of seeing more showers through the afternoon. so what can we expect for today? only climbing into the 50s in san jose, 54 degrees. oakland 53. santa rosa 53. your outlook for the bay, coast and inland is a couple of

showers moving through but the weekend storm that's going to now shift, this is where we're going to turn our attention to. here is the setup so far, turning into an atmospheric river and the reason it's a winter blast is because it's another cold storm and we are expecting a windy day ahead, with light rain to start, and north to south. by saturday evening, that's the biggest impact right now into early sunday morning, with the possibility of seeing localized flooding, especially for thi t we've got through the north bay, that's going to be an area of concern. the wind gusts looking like 40 plus miles per hour for the higher elevations for the next seven days. expect to be under a microclimate weather alert. i'll send it back to you. actually sorry, i am me. i'm sending this to myself, i have to do traffic! let's look at traffic and right now we've got clear conditions. i do have some good news, i just checked on the twitter page for chp, it does looks like the grapevine has reopened since

hold off on giving until you get an answer. finally, remember that new federal tax law? yeah, it might limit or completely eliminate your deduction for donations. if a tax write-off is important to you, ask a tax pro before you make a contribution. got questions for concerns about a charity, let us ow888-996-tips or online at nbcbayarea.com/responds. >> thank you, chris. >> he always has good advice. coming up on "today in the bay," it is 4:58 and it's been a frigid night for san francisco firefighters. residents with more water than they can handle. >> where crews are still working to clean up this mess. it's been overnight water main break, we'll take you out there live, coming up.
