can't wait. >> be positive and happy new year. all right. it is cold out there on this second day of 2022. this is the coldest day of this winter season, so far. it is the coldest day of the next seven. there will be a big improvement in the early part of the week but right now, we're at the bottom. this is about as cold as it will get. i'll show you what those numbers look like. clear numbers over san jose. >> how did we do this? part of the reason is the air is particularly dry out there right now. we have been importing colder air obviously but also low humidity with it and low humidity is able to insulate far less than any air mass that has a little more humidity to work with like a blanket. if we had cloud as head, won't have this issue. clear case, low humidity.

temperatures down to freezing. san san jose, 34 degrees. it is 27 right now santa rosa. number in concord, 29. livermore, 29. those are the locations where the freeze warnings are in place until 9:00. so it is those north bay areas, inland valleys of the east by and south bay. >> it is cold. cold enough that you want to bundle up and the primary concern on a morning like this on that line, it says hypothermia is a risk for vulnerable populations, e anybody who doesn't have a place to get indoors where there is heating, warm blankets, it is a risk on a morning like this. that is the top item to keep in mind. plus, pets, pipes and plants. the afternoon is fine. we will be in the mid 50s. no fog.

we covered that. it is just midlevel clouds. santa rosa at 3 miles. we're doing okay. >> the north bay valleys, down into the upper 20s today. look at the big improvement into monday and tuesday. tuesday is like a spike in heat, mid-40s. concord, livermore, look at your jump by tuesday. sunday is the coldest. still cold tomorrow morning on monday but better than this. same story in the heart of the bay. mid-30s now. didn't get to freezing in some spots. still 30s. 50 morning low by thursday. we're changing the air mass. look at this in the pacific. you would think a cold storm from the gulf of alaska could make it colder and most times that is what happens but in this case, we're going to pull in warmer air in front of it. that is how the storms work into that flow. that will help. then the clouds overnight are going to be the biggest factor

that help. and we'll also start to increase the humidity in the air a little more. that is how we get out of the freeze ram. room. >> there is also rain with it. sunday night throughout monday, light showers. a cloudy day, light showers throughout the morning into the afternoon and evening. there won't bow a lot to this. it will be scattered bit it will last long enough because it doesn't clear out until we get past like tuesday morning, so late sunday night through tuesday morning there is a chance for rain. then we pick up maybe a quarter inch in the north bay. a tenth of an inch for most other locations. not just rain here for monday. we'll get more snow in the sierra and most at the same time frame. the winter weather advisory goes monday morning to tuesday morning. slippery roads, reduced visibilities. chains will be required.

half a foot is nothing compared to the last storm, but still enough to cause travel concerns on i-80. look at the snow tuesday morning, down to 3500 feet both on 80 and 50. that will get to pines but not on koufax. in the seven-day forecast, there is another chance for rain after the monday rainmaker. it gets here by friday of next week. so we'll have mere details on that towards the next week, but it is nice to see things will stay active. we get a little more rain monday, a little more snow monday, then a break for a few days and then more on friday and saturday. that is how you want things to go with breaks. that is a good way to spend winter. >> that two or three-daybreak allows crews to catch up with roads in those areas that got snow. >> no issues. a half foot on the pass. that's nothing like what happened with the last storm,

so by wednesday y'all be fine to travel. >> all right. >> coming up, we'll interdawes you to the first baby of the new year. we will be right back.

the weather cooperated for yesterday's 133rd annual rose parade in pasadena. despite covid cases, they turned out for color full floats and marching bands and this year's theme was dream, believe and achieve. >> we're getting our first look father first baby born in the bay area on new year's day and she had impeccable timing. she made her big debut in antioch after the stroke of midnight. we don't know her name yet but she has bragging rights over a baby boy born a half-hour later in s santa rosa. our congratulations go out to both fam

it's 6:6. a time, too look at top stories. warming centers are popping up across the bay in santa rosa, catholic charities open and looking for donations. you can drop off any items at their wilson street location in santa rosa. >> another set of king tides. the tides were expected to crest this morning around 10:00 a.m. they will crest tomorrow at 11:00. a flood advisory for some low-lying areas. >> california has new recommendations for when people

can end isolations. asymptomatic people can end after the fif f day, but only if they have a negative test result. the chp made an 8% jump from last year. they are continuing their enforce the campaign until tonight at midnight. all right. looking at cold numbers out there this morning. 27 degrees. that is the literal temperature at the santa rosa airport but it is 29 in concourse and 34 in san stan. i'm calling out those inland valleys. freeze warning until 9:00 this morning for the north bay valleys and our south bay valleys as well. this is the coldest morning because we're going to start a gradual warm up. tomorrow cold, but not this cold. then a chance of rain for much of monday. well, thanks. thank you for joining us. cbs sunday morning is here next
