should plan for a little sticker shock. >> airfare is up 25% to 30%, hotels are up 15% to 20%. i would say the hot spots are the same old hot spots that you remember as a kid when you were in college, daytona beach, cancun, miami is very hot, vacancies are low. cabo, san diego, the hotels are pretty packed. >> also some tips to keep in mind, don't book too early or too late. domestic flights should be booked two months in advance and international six to eight months ahead of time. >> there you go. >> want to get away. >> let's go with silvana. >> suddenly we're all family, right? >> another member of our family is back. kari. >> good morning. i know we were trying to escape all of this cold weather.

it seems never ending. and even as i'm looking at the models, okay, when is this going to end? it is really bad. let's talk about this incoming storm. i don't know if i've ever said it this much, but we have another bomb cyclone coming. this is an area of low pressure that strengthens 24 millibars in 24 hours, so that's the pressure within the area of low pressure, and when we do see storms intensifying like this, it increases our wind gusts and we are looking at peak winds at about 60 miles per hour. this starts later tonight and continues through tomorrow as we are going to see those winds picking up as the storm approaches. but we're also, by the end of the storm, going to see anywhere from three-quarters of an inch of rain in some of the valleys to possibly four inches of rainfall. we see that in the typical spots like the santa cruz mountains and parts of the coastal north bay. and then for our hills, another coating of snow as you go up above about 3,000 feet.

so that's a lot of our hills around the bay area. so here is the storm that's farther to the north, still up around the gulf of alaska, and we're starting to see clouds reach into northern california and will continue to spread as we go into day. the rain doesn't get here until early tomorrow morning, as we are going to see it getting a lot heavier by late morning, and then it tapers off to more spotty activity as we head toward wednesday. but that's also when we could see thunderstorms popping up. so once again, our rainfall totals anywhere from three-quarters of an inch of rain to possibly over 2, and there could be some spots getting 4 inches of rainfall. so here is the area of low pressure. what we're looking for is to see if it taps into that subtropical moisture, the connection of the moisture all the way from hawaii moving across the pacific into the bay area. that tends to enhance the rainfall. as of now we're not seeing the tap until it gets farther to the south, but we're still going to have heavy rain.

farther out, more rain possible this weekend, and again next week. so we are not done with all of this cold and wet weather. and take a look at these temperatures. you know by the end of march, early april, it should be a lot warmer than this. but we do stay cold and a very active storm pattern continues. mike, you're saying it looks calm in san rafael. >> you can judge, southbound, taillights, a smooth drive on north san pedro, over the hill. smooth drive, beautiful hill. we do have one issue in the north bay, novato, southbound 101, the roadway that cuts again 37 and 101, there is a bit of mud that came down off the hillside. so they have closed the slow lane through the area. very light traffic, but we might see early slowing in that one portion. meanwhile, the rest of the bay shows a smooth flow of traffic on this map. the santa cruz mountains, it's

not 17 that's the issue. we do have closures still for highway 9 and a new closure that happened over the weekend on 84. keep those local ones in mind. back to you. >> thank you very much. there is a goal to protect so-called heritage trees, but in palo alto the heritage tree ordinance is under fire after some of those trees came crashing into homes during our recent storms. >> "today in the bay"'s emma goss spoke with one woman who says the protections are too extreme and are putting people and their properties in danger. >> reporter: they have lived in this palo alto home for 34 years, during that time a large oak tree shaded their back yard. part of it sat on their property and the rest was on city-owned land. four years ago, the health of the tree started to word her, so she asked the city for permission to trim it. >> the automatic answer was no, you cannot do it, it is a heritage tree. it's part on our property, the

city's property. >> reporter: on march 14th, intense winds brought the tree crashing into her yard. it narrowly missed her husband and dog who had just come inside, but left significant damage to water and electricity lines, fences and her neighbor's gutters. >> i was a little upset because i think it could have been prevented in making this tree very healthy. >> reporter: city council member greg tanaka agrees the city should take a more proactive approach and should be more flexible. >> i think there needs to be some adaptation. >> reporter: last year they expanded the types of trees that are classified as heritage. residents are responsible for paying for inspections of the trees on private property but can't do trimmings without a permit. >> really we should have a little more flexibility with the

staff, the interpretation of the ordinance so that when there's bad cases we can deal with it. >> reporter: annika says she wants the city to take action and inspect trees that have started to lean on her neighbor's yard, which she believes should be the city's responsibility. >> for the people who have a tree on their own property, inspection would be a great thing to have. >> reporter: there is currently no upcoming city council agenda item related to the heritage tree ordinance, but council member tanaka says he plans to bring it up soon. >> reporter: emma goss, nbc b b ararea news. . ahead on "today in the bay," the one thing rookie coach chance the rapper is looking forward to the most. >> and happening now, san jose police are investigating a deadly hit and run that happened a little before 7:00 last night near blossom hill road and leigh avenue. someone struck and killed a woman riding a bike. so far, the victim's identity is
