good morning. it is saturday, february 8th. we are taking a live look outside. wow, isn't that a sight for sore eyes after so much rain? a clear look across the bay from emeryville towards san francisco on a beautiful saturday morng. thank you so much for starting your weekend with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast. not to, you know, bite the hand that feeds us. i know we needed the rain, but it's nice to have this break. yeah, and now the clear skies and the calming winds allowingg the ear to cool way too much. so we are starting our weekend with some frost and freeze alerts to let you know of north bay, east bay valleys and down to the south bay foothills. that's where the purple freeze warning this morning isolated upper 20s in those winds sheltered valleys. and that's going to continue over the next couple of days. as we see that dry pattern. we look at 33 in danville right now, 32 in calistoga, low 40s, as we make our way from palo alto down

into south san jose, as i was looking at some clouds that are keeping those temperatures just a little bit more mild, our day will include everybody in those 50s not really going to break into the 60s for the next couple of days. we'll keep it dry, but there is a big storm system that i'm watching our next atmospheric river. i'll be back with those details in about 15 minutes. kira. all right, cinthia, we'll see you then. thanks. we begin another weekend with breaking news out of the middle east this morning, where three more israeli hostages are free from hamas captivity. and in exchange, 183 palestinians released from israeli prisons. the three hostages are all men. unlike previous hostage releases, over the last few weekends, reporters and family members are noting how gaunt and frail these hostages appear, also different. the three men were interviewed by masked and armed hamas fighters before they were transferred into the custody of the red cross. the men spoke out against israel,

though it's unclear whether they spoke freely or whether hamas told them what to say. the men are 34 year old or levy taken from the nova music festival. his wife was killed. 52 year old eli sharabi released today. his wife and teenage daughters also killed in the october 7th attacks. it's unclear whether levy and sharabi knew that their loved ones wouldn't be there to welcome them home. meanwhile, 56 year old ohad ben-ami and his wife were taken hostage. she was released in the first ceasefire deal between israel and hamas. alsoreaking this morning back here in the bay area, seven san jose state students are without a home and displaced after an early morning fire destroyed their home. it happened just after five this morning on woodland terrace in san jose. that's across 280 from happy hollow zoo. when firefighters responded to the home, they say it was fully engulfed with

flames coming from the garage and into the home. no one was injured. the cause of that fire is under investigation. a high profile bay area murder case is in the national spotlight. dateline nbc covered the 2022 murder of cashapp founder bob lee. the brand new episode aired last night right here on nbc bay area. the man convicted of killing lee nima momeni was a no show in court yesterday to learn his sentencing date. today in the bay sergio quintana gives us a look at new video and information never before seen. nima momeni mother walked out of court knowing when her son will learn his sentence, but she did not get to see him. a bailiff said momeni refused to show up, deciding to stay in his cell rather than learn when he'll be sentenced for second degree murder. and that may 16th sentencing hearing could potentially be somewhat lengthy because we understand it's going to include testimonials from bob lee's brother, his father, the

mother of his children, and potentntially aouple of his children as well. it all started on april 4th, 2023, when san francisco police found bob lee laying on main street. investigators immediately began compiling evidence and trying to piece together the last 12 hours of his life. they quickly learned the last person he was with was a man named nima momeni, and the two had been at the city's millennium tower. this is security camera video of lee and momeni together in an elevator, leaving momeni sister's home in the luxury building. it's about 2 a.m. they get into his white bmw convertible and drive off several security cameras from other buildings show the white bmw heading a few blocks away to main street under the bay bridge, where a nest camera from a ninth floor car window even catches. what investigators say is the moment nima momeni attacks bob lee, ending with nema throwing something over a fence into a caltrans yard. that's exactly where police find

a paring knife with bob lee's dna on the four inch blade and momeni dna on the handle. days later, as police are tracking nima momeni, a police officer captures what prosecutors say is damning video of him in a parking lot. it shows momeni talking to an attorney's investigator and making what prosecutors say are three stabbing motions, and then what investigators testified is momeni motioning like he threw a knife overhand. this is all video and other evidence the public has never seen until now. the dateline special looks deeper into nima momeni and his close relationship with his sister casar, a san francisco socialite married to a prominent cosmetic surgeon. it also looks at the life of the victim, cashapp co-founder bob lee. what was cazares relationship with bob? i knew that they were friend for the past few years, on and off again, just seeing each other casually. nothing sexual, just actual friendship. that's jeremy boivin speaking with dateline nbc. he knew both bob lee and nima momeni sister,

and was frequently referenced in the trial. in fact, prosecutors believe momeni was angry at lee over what he believed boivin had done to his sister. boivin has denied any wrongdoing. one of the many twists in a complicated tale of money, parties, drugs and murder. sergio quintana today in the bay. and if you missed the dateline episode last night, you can watch dateline under the bay bridge, beginning today. streaming on peacock. a federal judge has blocked elon musk's department of government efficiency from accessing. treasury department records. this comes after 19 states, including california, sued president trump to st doge employees from accessing those records that contain sensitive personal data like social security and bank account numbers. the lawsuit alleges that would violate federal law and raise security concerns. musk's department ofovernment efficiency, also known as doge, was created to discover and eliminate what the trump

administration has called wasteful government spending. meanwhile, san francisco and santa clara counties are joining forces, leading the charge to protect sanctuary cities. the two counties are taking the trump administration to court. in their suit, they claim the president's threats to cut federal funding for so-called sanctuary cities violates federal and state law. today, in the bay's emma goss has the latest on the legal fight to stop president trump's mass deportations from being carried out in california. friday, touching down in cuba at guantanamo bay. homeland security secretary kristi noem on a scouting mission to find the trump administration. additional space to hold the thousands of undocumented immigrants already arrested. meanwhile, in san francisco, city attorney david chu and santa clara county counsel tony lopresti announced a joint lawsuit against the federal

government over threats the trump administration recently made to withhold federal dollars from sanctuary cities. we call that commandeering the federal government can't commandeer our local government. they can't commandeer our local resources, and they can't commandeer our local law enforcement to help them carry out a vision of mass deportation. san francisco city attorney david chu told nbc bay area that more than 3 billion federal dollars are on the line for san francisco. it's illegal on many levels. what donald trump has been trying to do since his first term is to coerce cities to carry out federal immigration enforcement that violates the constitution. san francisco and santa clara county sued the trump administration in 2017 and won in a similar case, protecting sanctuary cities and immigrant rights, with ice detention facilities currently at 109% capacity. immigrant communities in california are on edge.

equality california supports undocumented immigrants in the lgbtq plus community. we have daca recipients. we have dreamers. we have people who are on tps. we have people who are here in asylum. so all these things are under attack and we don't know what could be next. earlier this week, the u.s. attorney general sued chicago, another sanctuary city and the state of illinois, for interfering with efforts to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants. penalizing sanctuary cities would hurt not just criminals, but the entire communities. we also know that sanctuary policies make communities safer. emma goss for today in the bay. and happening today, the group, by any means necessary, will hold a rally and march for immigrant rights. it will be in oakland at fruitvale plaza. that's near the fruitvale bart station. the rally starts at 10 a.m. yesterday was a day of action in the south bay. community groups, students and local leaders protested president trump's immigration

policies. about 100 people marched through downtown san jose and then rallied at city hall plaza. marches and rallies were held throughout the city, as well as at high schools, where the students walked out of class to show support for immigrants. it is ten past the hour on your saturday morning. we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, it was a night to shine on the red carpet. coming up, we'll take you to this unforgettable event for people with disabilities as

beautiful look as a golden orange sun rises over the city of san francisco, where today mayor daniel lurie will mark one month in office by holding a community cleanup. that's at 9 a.m. on van ness avenue and bay street. as the city gears up for nba all star weekend beginning on friday. we begin this block with news from the san francisco zoo, where oscar the gorilla has unexpectedly died. the only male gorilla at that zoo, the 43 year old endangered gorilla lived at the zoo for 21 years. the zoo says he went in for a medical procedure thursday and was in recovery from anesthesia when he suddenly stopped breathing. his exact cause of death is unknown.

visitors could usually find oscar in the gorilla reserve sitting atop his favorite rock. he was the head of the gorilla group, which means he watched over the zoo's other gorillas and helped resolve conflicts. time's latest cover features an image of someone sitting behind the resolute desk in the oval office. but it's not president trump, it is elon musk. the magazine's cover promotes a profile on musk, who is the lead of the new department of government efficiency, as we've been reporting. back in december, president trump was named time's person of the year for 2024 when he was asked about mumusk's cover story. he respond by asking, quote, is time magazine still in business? the presesident al praised musk for, quote, doing a great job. in some lighter news, we are 24 hours away from the super bowl in new orleans. super sunday

celebrations are already underway in the city, and the bay area is getting ready for next year's super bowl hosted at levi's stadium. we want to give you a live look, though, at the caesars superdome in new orleans today. there will be a mardi gras style celebration with floats and marching bands headed down bourbon street. of course, the niners aren't playing in the game, but a lot of bay area leaders are there getting ready for this. the handoff. this is video from last year's ceremony, when las vegas handed over hosting duties to new orleans. the bay area host committee says levi's stadium is already preparing to host next year's game. updating video boards, refreshing club spaces and changing concession stands. the official host city handover ceremony is set for monday. and tune in tomorrow morning for our interview with san jose mayor matt mahan and the president of the bay area host committee as

they get ready for monday's handoff, and they talk about how they're ramping up measures for super bowl 60 right here in the bay area. that's tomorrow at 7 a.m. as for the super bowl tomorrow, there is a spanish language telecast that will air on our sister station, telemundo 48. live coverage begins tomorrow at 3 p.m. from new orleans. back here in the bay area, it was an unforgettable red carpet event for teenagers and adults with disabilities. the bridges community church in the los altos hills was transformed for this extravagant prom night. the event was called night to shine. it's held every year and celebrates people with disabilities. they get to enjoy limo service, karaoke dinner, and dancing and dressing up. celebrated in 56 countries now around the world, it's a fantastic event and these guys get treated like rock stars,

which they all are, by the way. and gosh, with all that's going on in the world, i did not know how much my heart needed to come out and cheer for a bunch of people on a red carpet. well, over the past ten years, night to shine has provided proms for half a million people with disabilities. more than 1 million volunteers have worked to create those magical events. a new attraction for downtown san jose. it's an art installation turned roller rink celebrating its grand opening last night, canadian based developer westbank installed this towering sculpture on south first street back in 2021. since then, it's been locked behind a big chain link fence, becoming a curiosity to the rest of the public. well, now it's being used to host the unzipped gardens, roller rink and beer garden. visitors can rent skates, enjoy drinks and food trucks. the attraction runs through memorial day. oh my

gosh, that looks so fun! light up roller skates. time now to check in with cinthia pimentel for a forecast that actually would allow people to go out and do that. now we're all dry. the pavement is no more slippery roads for the next couple of days. so yeah, we're going to enjoy some sunshine right there. much needed after the week we've had. calm and clear. that night was in walnut creek slipping into this morning, and that has allowed for those really cold temperatures. we're waking up to some frost advisories, some freeze alerts. so we see those 30s out there. concord i've got you at 38 as we go on into the next half hour, 34 in santa rosa. but we notice that the low 40s are from redwood city down into morgan hill, as i noticed some of that cloud cover that is sticking with us this morning. it will be a struggle to warm up at around 1030 11:00. still in those 40s and our daytime highs only going to make it into the upper 50s region wide. so expect that cool weather to continue. if you want to keep warm, let's find something for you to do. how about the super bowl

festival in sausalito? that sounds really fun. today, 1 to 430. we're going to see lots of sunshine out there. might feel a little bit breezy since it is close to the bay, so bring a jacket. another event as we go on talking about the season. valentine's choco stroll in los altos, getting ready for valentine's day, temperatures there reaching a high of about 56 later on this afternoon. with the nights becoming cold once again. because this dry pattern is going to stay with us at least through the middle part of the week, those dangerous cold mornings are going to be in the forecast. with those 30s continuing. we mightreak this though, as we get a little bit more moisture and track our next atmospheric river. now, a couple of things with this is that the path is still tbd, as some models are pushing it towards the central coast, others are pushing it down into los angeles. but look, as we go on into thursday, most of the rain looks to cover pretty much the entire state with some snow. also, for the sierra and valentine's day. looking to be a little wet right now with those

storms coming on in early. models right now indicate that los angeles might get those 3 to 4in while we see about 1 to 2 here for the northern section of the state. and snow will be coming down into the sierra in feet, possibly as we go on into next weekend. should be clearing out into about saturday. so if you and your honey want to go skiing, that looks good there too. so our 7-day forecast will enjoy the sunshine for the next couple of days. 50 as our highs, 30s as our lows for the next couple of mornings. and don't put away the umbrellas just yet. or those jackets. we are going to need them as we go. on wednesday into the second half of the week. san francisco, we go on in and enjoy a nice weekend there. i know a lot of lunar new year celebrations are still going on, so that's nice. but we do prepare for morore orms the middle of the week. middle of the month. all right cinthia, thanks so much. it's almost 21 past the hour. we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, a story we hope makes you bay area proud. look at that. we'll introduce you to

a lifelong runner coming up with those incredible designs. with those incredible designs. with the help of his feet from laminate and vinyl to tile and wood, floor & decor has more options for pros... homeowners... and anyone looking for the right look... at the right price. your next beautiful space... is at floor & decor.

go as inspiration for their work. but in this morning's bay area, proud, our garvin thomas meets a man who uses the city as his canvas, and his g.p.s. paints the picture. on any given day in the city of san

francisco, you will find plenty of runners out on the streets, some looking to improve their times, others looking to lose a little weight. precious few, though, doing what limón is doing. i like to say my canvas is san francisco. you see, lenny is not just running, he's creating art. i love running, i love art, so this is a nice way to combine them in both. now, of those two loves. lenny says art came before running. when i was a kid, i was notorious for drawing caricatures of friends like i'd look at you and draw you haha. and i had a i have a real skill with that. and then i sort of kind of like forgot about that until until about ten, a little over ten years ago. by that point in 2015, lenny was already an experienced runner, and like many others, he tracked his runs using gps, and when he plotted that information on a map, it sometimes could look like something, sometimes accidental telephone or a dinosaur or a or something. and

then i thought, well, why don't i begin with the end in mind and design something and then purposely run it and boom, there you go. so lenny takes hours drawing on a map of the city. he used to use paper, but now does it on a computer and then heads out to follow that exact route. when i'm actually doing this, i'm running down the street looking at my iphone. to other people, it looks like i'm just, you know, you know, checking social media or something. but i'm following a map. the results? well, they're nothing short of amazing. lenny's latest creation, a snake in honor of the lunar new year. it took him ten hours and 40 miles to complete san francisco's famous hills, adding some 5000ft in elevation in the process. lenny does about one a month these days, and has acquired quite a dedicated following for his creations online. he loves it when people like his work. it means even more, though, when they are moved to join him. not necessarily on a run, but in

finding their own unique path to expressing themselves. i mean, you could do painting or any other kind of artistic endeavor to think in that, in that realm. and that's what i really like is inspiring people to be artistic in any way. oh my gosh, those are incredible. garvin, thanks for another incredible story. 26 past the hour. we have much more ahead for you on today in the bay. coming up while i'm celebrating those returning my family and many others. we remain in agony as more israeli hostages are released. this morning we hear from a bay area mother awaiting the return of her son still being held by hamas. her emotional new message after this. plus, san francisco and santa clara suing the trump administration. the president's order, theyay, violates s

i bought the team! kevin... ? i put it on my chase freedom unlimited card. and i'm gonna cashback on a few other things too! starting with the sound system... that's caaaaaaaaash. cashback like a pro with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback?

♪♪ ♪♪ dreams begin here. welcome to the goodnight club. a february 8th, 729. as we take this gorgeous look outside at the golden gate bridge. golden sunshine. a little bit of wind out there. not a lot of cars. good time to get out there, but hopefully you stick with us for the next 30 minutes. thanks so much for starting your weekend with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick peek at our microclimate

forecast. maybe not a lot of cars because people are just trying to stay warm at home and maybe just bundling under that blanket. watching us. thank you for joining us. we are looking at 40s right now through parts of san jose and san carlos right behind me. parts of pleasanton and petaluma. yes, the 30s are there. the only other thing i want you to watch for is parts of some patchy fog there as you approach livermore this morning, so cold numbers will continue with us. but those days will be nice this weekend. a chance to dry out and get outdoors. enjoy that sunshine. it will be cool though. the highs only in the 50s and i am looking at more rain returning into the middle of next week. continuing on into valentine's day weekend. so we'll talk about where that rain might be headed, where the models are pointing it to. comiming up iny full forecast in about ten minutes. all right cinthia, thanks. another weekend with breaking news of hostages and prisoners released. three more israeli hostages are now free from hamas captivity. and

in exchange, 183 palestinians released from israeli prisons. the three hostages are all men. unlike previous hostage releases, over the last few weekends, reporters and family members are noting how gaunt and frail these hostages appear. also different. the three men were interviewed by masked and armed hamas fighters before they were transferred into the custody of the red cross. the men spoke out against israel. it's unclear whether they spoke freely or if hamas told them what to say. the men are 34 year old or levi, taken from the nova music festival. his wife was killed. 52 year old eli sharabi. his wife and teenage daughters were killed in the attack, and 56 year old ojai ben ammi. he and his wife were both taken as hostages. s was released in the first ceasefire deal between israel and hamas, though some

israeli hostages have now been released. other families remain in an agonizing wait. among them the family of a young man whose mother grew up in berkeley are today in the bay's. kris sanchez is following their story. good morning kira. alana hale is one of the young people who was kidnaped by hamas on october 7th of 2023, and his mother knows exactly how it happened because it was caught in horrifying detail on camera. the kidnaping we have, the kidnaping video where hamas took the, you know, the, you know, took the video. so we can see how this happened. the video of alana being dragged away by hamas is hard to watch, but his mother does not want people to forget how he and the other hostages were kidnaped from the nova music festival on october 7th of 2023. she also wants the world to see her son, as he lived up to that point playing music which his mother says guides his life. and here,

smiling, surrounded by his family, including his mother, who grew up in berkeley. israel and hamas reached a cease fire agreement just three weeks ago, allowing for the release of women and children, injured hostages and hostages over the age of 50. allen, who will be 24 next week, was not among them. while i'm celebrating the returning, my family and many others, we remain in agony. although allen has not been seen in the last 15 months. the da believes he is alive and she is desperate for the latest ceasefire between israel and hamas to hold. so the second wave of hostages can be released starting march 1st. negotiations for that are set to begin next week, and who knows, they will be delicate after the first deal in november. okay. dozens of hostages were killed. dozens. and we fear that this history will repeat itself if there is no action. again, according to the cease fire deal, hamas is expected to release 33 hostages

in the first stage, including women, civilians and soldiers, children and civilians over the age of 50. and israel promised to release 30 palestinian prisoners for each civilian hostage and 50 for each woman soldier. back to you, kyra. all right, chris, thanks so much. a high profile murder case out of san francisco is back in the national spotlight. last night, dateline nbc profiled the murder of cashapp founder bob lee. it was aired right here on nbc bay area. the man convicted of killing lee nima momeni was a no show in court yesterday to learn his sentencing date. nima momeni was found guilty of second degree murder in december. prosecutors argued that momeni stabbed lee after an argument about momeni sister, kazaa. he was supposed to be in court yesterday but refused to appear. his sentencing will be may 16th. if you if you missed last

night's dateline episode, you can watch dateline under the bay streaming on peacock and weit is continue to follow that developing news of the wreckage of a small plane in alaska. it took off from a town in western alaska with nine passengers and a single pilot on thursday. 45 minutes later, it suddenly went off radar. yesterday afternoon, crews located the plane sitting on sea ice. no one survived. it's unclear what led to that crash, but the coast guard says the plane had a rapid loss of altitude. a federal judge has halted the trump administration's midnight deadline to lay off thousands of workers at usaid. it's just one part of the president's effort to slash the size of the federal workforce. nbc's garrett haake reports from the white house. president trump, with the japanese prime minister as his administration intensifies its

effort to carry out his campaign promise to slash federal government spending. ellen is doing a great job. he's finding tremendous fraud and corruption and waste. now saying he'll direct elon musk and his department of government efficiency to look for wasteful spending at the department of education and the pentagon. there anything you've told elon musk he cannot touch? well, we haven't discussed that much. i'll tell him to go here. go there. he does it. we have very smart people going in, so i've instructed him, go into education, go into military, go into other things as we go along. bulk of federal spending is social security and medicare. programs like that. would you like to see him look at those programs as well? well, they don't really have to be looked at by him. they can be looked at by us. social security will not be touched. it will only be strengthened. we have illegal immigrants on social security, and we're going to find out who they are and take them out. democrats protesting outside the department of education. what are you doing here? security responsibility. get out of the way. stopped from entering the

building by a security guard. donald trump and elon musk must not and will not destroy the department of education on a whim. another trump cost cutting effort. that buyout for all federal workers, has now been accepted by more than 65,000 employees, according to a white house official. though a judge has temporarily paused the program. signs are coming down at the u.s. agency for international development, which doles out foreign aid, as a federal judge pressed pause on the administration's plan to place thousands of workers on administrative leave. that move would have left as few as 611 essential employees left, the white house says, out of 10,000 just two weeks ago. when you look at usaid, that's a that's a fraud. the trump administration blasting the agency for what it calls wasteful spending, pointing to $2 million given to an organization for gender affirming health care in guatemala and $13 million to put on a sesame street production in iraq. it's perfectly approprte

to hit the pause button. and the democrats want to be the guardians of permanent washington in the abuse of taxpayer dollars. bring it on, though. musk has also made many false claims about the usaid budget, and democrats are slamming the cuts. getting rid of aid makes us all less safe. it is also downright illegal. usaid supporters noting the agency provides food aid to 28 million children per year worldwide suffering from malnutrition, and treats more than 5.5 million children every year with pneumonia. its $40 billion budget, less than 1% of federal spending overall. the agency previously praised by the first lady. we want to show the world that we care, and i partnered and i'm working with usaid. i've not only lost my job, i've lost my life's work. rose zulliger is a usaid contractor furloughed last week. we are grieving for the thousands of people around the world who are dying as a result of these callous actions.

meanwhile, the president was also asked about that newly compiled list of all fbi agents involved in investigating january 6th cases and if he's planning to fire them. no, but i'll fire some of them because some of them w were corrupt, i have no doubt about that. that was nbc's garrett hake reporting for us. meanwhile, back here locally, san francisco and santa clara counties are suing the trump administration, saying the president's recent order threatening to strip all federal funding from sanctuary cities violates the u.s. constitution and federal law. the san francisco city attorney spoke at city hall, saying the administration's orders are not only illegal, they also would dramatically harm cities, counties and states with sanctuary policies. a sanctuary city is defined as a place that actively refuses to devote sources to assist in federal immigration actions. if the president's new order were to stand, san francisco is estimated to lose $3.1 billion in funding. the county's lawsuit

argues the president has no power to strip federal funds allocated by congress. president trump tried to do something similar during his first term in office. san francisco sued back then as well and won. contra costa county health leaders are demanding answers after a fire at the martinez refinery company. as we've been reporting, the fire broke out last saturday, prompting a shelter in place order. the refinery released an update on its investigation into the fire, saying that the fire was caused by a hydrocarbon gas leak, but they're still working to learn what caused that leak. contra costa county health has instructed the refinery to provide a detailed list of the materials that burned into the air. the company has until monday to respond. almost 41 past the hour on your saturday morning. still to come on today in the bay. all aboard the hoop bus. we'll tell you about this nonprofit organization bringing fun to oakland before the all

star game

i'm not happy with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire risk from our equipment by over 90%. that's something i want to believe. [skateboard sounds] dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. five years? -five years. and he's not alone. -high five. it's five years of reliable gig speed internet. five years of advanced securit.

next couple of hours into the nine 10:00 hour as temperatures. we're in the 30s right now, low 30s right now in calistoga, over on into danville. freezing mark. there are some low 40s from san mateo down into morgan hill right now, but 39 degrees to start our day in los gatos. everybody will mostly stick into the 50s up there towards wine country, the livermore valley, and we'll do a high of about 58 in san jose. mostly sunny and dry for the weekend. we'll keep it pretty much the same for our sunday and even on into monday. but what will continue will be those cold numbers. now why is this happening? we just had some recent rain. well, that dry air mass is allowing the earth to cool way too much in those overnight hours. so here we go with the lows. for the next couple of days. we see subfreezing numbers for the north bay valleys. even down into the santa clara valley. could be some of the coldest numbers that we've woken up to this year. we take it on into the start of our monday. that's going to be a struggle for a lot of people to get the week day

started. so bundle up and make sure that things that need to be taken care of, like your pets and maybe some sensitive plants outdoors, come inside for a little bit of a toastier night. these numbers will recover a little bit as we go on into tuesday. we notice a couple more 40s on the board as we start to talk about some moisture that will be coming in. now, this is a long range outlook, so things could change, especially with the path of our next atmospheric river towards the middle part of the week. right now it is looking to take aim pretty much to the southern coast and into los angeles. but we look at thursday pretty much the entire state covered in some rainfall and the sierra snow continuing as we go on into friday, valentine's day as well. so something to watch for the next couple of days if that system shifts south, our rain totals could jump up significantly and that will increase. also, the chance of some landslides with our already saturated ground. i think the coast will feel it first there through san francisco and the peninsula. after a sunny and dry weekend,
