building and every state office in the city here in sacramento. 1,000 guard members, many from the bay area, have taken posts here along with hundreds of law enforcement officers, mostly from state police, as they are charged with protecting infrastructure here on a regular basis. they're hoping it remains quiet, a 3,000-person pro-trump demonstration planned for sunday has been called off, after chp denied permits for the event, citing covid-19 protocols, and safety concerns due to the violence here and at the u.s. capitol on january 6th. but there were still a few people out here protesting the election, and other counter demonstrators like a sacramento native who doesn't want anything to happen to this building or the people who work here, so he grabbed old glory and says he will stand a post in defiance of anyone who would bring violence to the doorstep of democracy here at the state. >> i felt it was necessary to come out and simply as a show

that no matter what someone's political beliefs, their religion, their race, their creed, we are one nation, we believe in our democracy, and a peaceful transition of power. >> it's a travesty either way. i'm not condoning rushing the capitol building. i can't stand violence in any form. >> reporter: but that man marty who didn't want to share his last name says he does dispute the election. here on the north side of the capitol, a group of counter demonstrators waving flags and biden-harris sometimes seemed to get the most support from the public as drivers honked at them as they passed by. we saw no physical disputes of any kind between the oos sides like we had seen before but expect a strong police and military presence here outside through inauguration day, the larger crowds, if they do show up, are expected possibly sunday when that demonstration was scheduled, or wednesday on

a few high clouds passing by. walnut creek another spot today in the mid-70s. 73 right now, average high is only 57, that is quite a difference from what you'd normally see in january. san francisco at 55 degrees. for the morning, mostly 40s to start, we'll see some patches of low clouds near the coast, high clouds at times headed into the afternoon, temperature wise tomorrow not much change, numbers well into the 70s inland and downtown san francisco could get close to 070s for tomorrow. the key story, watch these wind speeds flare up into monday and through monday night, into tuesday, look how that purple stays on the map. that means gusts in these areas could be 25 to 40 miles per hour or higher at times, all the day monday, through tuesday evening. so this is a long duration wind advisory event, sunday night, all the way through tuesday, while the wind speeds in the south bay won't be quite as strong, you could see a lot of purple in the santa cruz mountains, diablo range, east bay hills, staying gusty all the way until about 11:00 at night. we'll begin to see wind speeds

come down by tuesday night. so that is a long duration wind event. the pattern for it, high pressure and low pressure to the north and south, as the winds lighten up around wednesday, we'll be watching this pattern shift which could get interesting by thursday and friday, you see the first chance of rain we've had in a while dropping in thursday night into friday, and followed up by an even colder storm potentially by next weekend. i know if you've been on social media, there's a lot of talk, perhaps we could see low snow levels, we'll try to quantify what it means if you drop a storm out of british columbia and the gulf of alaska what might that do to the precip tigs. sierra, one to two feet of snow but back towards the bay area, we could be looking at snow down to 3,000 or 4,000 feet, if that pattern holds by next weekend. so try to take notes here. we've got summer tomorrow, october-like fall wind monday and tuesday, then a real winter blast as we head towards the end of the week and possibly late next weekend, so a lot of changes going on.

record highs tomorrow. very strong, the potential for damaging wind gusts unfortunately i think that's going to be monday and tuesday. rain makes a comeback friday and just a little bit off of the end of that seven-day forecast the end of next weekend, snow levels perhaps quite low and the return of some rain in the forecast. not often the seven-day forecast has three seasons in one. we're about to go through that as we head into the week. really have to watch the wind earlier in the week and we can enjoy the lower snow levels and rain later on. back to you. >> i'm glad i took notes. thanks very much, rob. >> thank you. still ahead, mayor london breed honoring the legacy of dr. martin luther king. we're going to show you how. but first, nbc bay area and telemundo 48 are teaming up to make a positive impact on our nbc universal foundation. project innovation recognizes and awards $315,000 in grants to
