current numbers range in the mid-40s in many locations and hoe 50s for others. but let's get back to the fog. i want to show you what that looks like on a map. visibility readings are telling you how far down the road you can see in miles when it's clear, numbers say 10. look at san jose and san francisco both at 7. but when you get into fog, the 0.5 for livermore, 0.8 concord and 0.# in santa rosa is showing .30 of a mile down the road enough to cause issues while driving. the national weather service issued a dense fog advisory for solana county, which is where it was yesterday. but the conditions are virtually just as foggy along 101 through sonoma or up and down 580 right now. for the inland valleys of alameda, and contra costa county. so, be aware, you are going to hit patchy fog. let's play it ford and see how it melts back.

by the time we have gotten ahead to noon. while it's foggier to start the day today, than yesterday was, when we clear this out, we are going to get more sunshine in the afternoon today than we did yesterday. you will see more blue sky and temperatures will be warmer today. as a result of that and a few clouds will come in for the overnight hours. taking us into tomorrow. morning lows or actually daytime highs for sunday, they go look that. mid to upper 60s. 70 santa rosa. that's the two warm spots. mid-60s about everywhere else. and 66 for livermore today. let's see where the rain is. you can see pretty active storms well out here in the central pacific. the futurecast will bring would be system through on monday. we done get rain from it. but the fact that system was able to breakthrough the ridge of high pressure overhead, and at least bring in fresher air tells us the air quality is

going to improve by the second half of monday. thanks to that system. this will begin breaking down the ridge and allow the next system here we will watch the monday system disappear, and we will let the thursday one fill in the map. that's the next one. and that one will hold together, to give us at least some rain. not a lot, but we will get a few lie showers on thursday and you will see that in the 7-day forecast. there could be others after that for next week. and just to look at accumulated rainfall totals on thursday. it has gone back and forth sometimes as much as .2 of an inch of rain anow it look like it will be less than that. for right now, taking a look ahead here, to thursday, high enough degree of confidence will keep that chance of rain in this. beyond that, it gets cooler. that's the most notable thing about the shift in the weather is, whatever that system on

thursday brings us, light rainfall wise, it is certainly going to bring in noticeably cooler air, and we will get the daytime highs

embarcadero warning about the king tides. >> wow. good public awareness on that. and the story they mentioned, hey, you know, we would like to get photographs of the stuff. and if you are thinking i would like to take pictures of this. let me show you the times if you have plans to be out. the north bay, east bay and along the city, those are the main places to notice this. and we are going to reach that highest tide around 11:30 in general. it's 11:26 in the north bay and gets down to the a embarcadero around 11:40, and it won't be higher than yesterday. but it will be close to just about as high as yesterday was. and yesterday, it was not super overwhelming. so, just know you don't expect the most dramatic show if you look for this. but those are the times if you want to see it. as far as the rest of the weather for today, it's foggier this morning than yesterday at this time. santa rosa is reporting fog at the airport. and that's different. we have got more fog in more places today at this time of day. than we did on saturday so if

plate readers and it's like it's not great use of money. >> reporter: he says the plate reader dallas bases have been abused across the country and lead to expensive lawsuits when incorrect matches led to wrongful arrests. moss does not think it will work to stop the smash mob style thieves. >> i think when you have clever criminals like that, license plate readers are not going to deter them. if the viewers think about them for more than five minutes they will think about a way to get around them. because license plate readers are very good at capturing information on innocent people, but maybe not so good at capturing information on people who are willing to break the law. and still to come, pope francis is on the greek isle meeting with those seeking asylum in the european union. plus, a search for survivors is going on in indonesia after volcanic eruptions buried communities and thick layers of lava and

at the airport where it's down to .3 of a mile. there's the overview. the dense fog advisory stays in effect until noon. it cancally, that only encompasses solano county. we know it is foggy in other places. you can see it filling in the valleys up into napa north bay and east bay and it mounts back today more effectively than yesterday. in other words, while it's foggier now, once this burns back by about noon today, we will all get more sunshine today for the afternoon. than we had yesterday. so, it's sunnier day and slightly warmer afternoon. as a result of that. so we will see temperatures that climb in some places all the way back up to 70 like up in santa rosa today. eat hit 68 in san jose and mid- 60s for concord and livermore. 65 today in oakland. what about the rain? well, there are a lot of good storms out in the pacific right now. and there's still pretty much

going a long way around like that one up and over. but, it does break through the ridge on monday. with enough force that even though we don't get rain on monday, tomorrow, we should start to clear the air out because we wil hiessu and in addition to clearing out the air a bit on monday, more importantly that will on the door for the next system than on thursday to actually hold together right there possibility for some light rain first half of the day on thursday. not big totals. we are talking about .10 of an inch of rain or less. so the rain is not the headline. the change in the overall pattern is the headline because we are going to get much cooler when that happens. we are going to clear out the air first, or start the process early in the week. breaking down the ridge of high pressure. and that's the first step. monday's improvement of air quality. and a small chance of rain on

thursday, and most significant impact and noticeable impact is the cooler temperatures. not getting out mid-50s for daytime highs. by the time we get to friday and saturday, we can see the same story for the microclimates. look at north bay valleys. 65 today, and friday and saturday, 10 degrees cooler. noticeably colder by the end of the week. and into next weekend. >> you said that storm that comes in on thursday brings modest rain. what about snow out towards tahoe? >> it will be and this is not saying much but it's a better snow maker because the aim is wouldn't inside sliders which means it goes inside and dive over us and slide on the inside of the state more on the border with nevada. those turned to produce more snow than rain and it's not block buster snowstorm. but it will be more snow than it will be rain here maybe a couple inches perhaps up at some of the passes. >> absolutely we will take it. thank you. the holiday season can be
