advisory has just been issued. we will continue to hold on to the low 30's especially in the north bay. by 8:00 a.m. it looks like we see more widespread temperatures around the bay area. i will break down the numbers neighborhood by neighborhood. it looks like we will keep it in the low 60s and the south bay. now i quickly want to give you a look at your christmas forecast. like i mentioned in his mostly sunny with mao conditions for christmas eve and christmas day with temperatures actually getting into the mid '60s. i will show that in your extended forecast coming up my next report. as we take a look at traffic around the bay area there are very few

cars out there, traffic is moving well. the san mateo bridge is problem free in both directions, no accidents to report. as we take over to the golden gate bridge south bound 101 this ride is just 25 minutes coming out of navato towards san francisco. we have some patches of slowing in south bound 680 through the san ramon valley. if you know of someone coming towards the bay area we do have a major accident has been on the roadway said about 3:40 a.m.. it is an injury accident, parts of the role we have been shut down in the past hour. it looks like to lanes are block right now because traffic is so light there is not much of a slowdown. but certainly be

aware that because the chp has no estimated time of when this will end. >>james: that tragic accident at lee,--at lake tahoe, a seven year-old boy has died of his injuries after falling from the scheme that. the sugar bowl issued a statement expressing their condolences than the resort is cooperating with investigators of the resort will not be released the boy's name. in san francisco, the city's greenest block was dedicated in a special ceremony on tuesday. mayor ed lee was on hand and he stopped by newcomb avenue that is where a new project transform the neighborhood and make it the most equal friendly and the city. >> this project built this

there is a live view from my living room but i cannot have that apartment because i smoke. it feels like a separate camp and i am not even welcome there. >>justine: the new ordinance will be voted on in a public hearing on january 10th. >>james: yesterday was a busy day people were standing in line all day long to get their christmas mail out in time. yesterday was the last day to ensure that packages would get to their destination using standard shipping. >> this is going to florida, and this is going to michigan to some friends of my wife. the line is going pretty fast. it was not too long. >>james: if you have not see your packages out yet,

federal express says that you can still be your guess where there are going on time. the deadline for on- time delivery is friday, of course you have to pay a little extra for that service the thick and still get there in time. >>justine: speaking of a onetime deliveries, you know that your gift is on the way but we get there in one piece? up next, we show you how some packages are being delivered. stay with us, we will take a break and be right back.

on the ground. >>reporter: it is not just sex, brunt can toss your package under hand, they can toss your package over hand and they can toss it like a horseshoe over fences and gates but the delivery men and nemesis from a delivery point of view, then it's hostile don't like it, get rid of the gate. the guy videotaping this ups and deliverymen and compared it to a floating garbage. of course it could be worse. at least they're not ace ventura. >>reporter: of all the special delivery cresol, none was more special than this by fedex. there were sparks coming off the block

. >> this guy has no idea that he was pushing in an oven. >>reporter: you're probably wondering does this guy still have a job? fedex and says they have i d d employee involved in he is being handled according to the internal disciplinary policy. >>reporter: now that everyone has the camera, it does not pay for the delivery else to get sloppy. >>justine: we have to take a quick break on the kron4 morning news. we are getting

hour when everyone is on their computer and their tv. this time it may be only affected late night gamers and the late night television viewers. al here, you can see the pg&e truck ride off to the side. right now pg&e is taking a break diligently trying to repair this. basically they said that one of the connectors burnt out. they are trying to connect that so that they can bring up power and hopefully they will be able to get power back up into the neighborhood by 8:00 a.m.. it is pretty dark out here, let me to show you how dark these couple of streets are. i do not know, it is kind of hard to say how far along the stretch it is. maybe a two to three block radius around here, but you can see down the street. you

can see the light post on. and this image across that one street you are in complete darkness. like i mentioned, there are hoping to restore power by 8:00 p.m..--by eight a m. >>james: which tree is that the power line is down on? >>reporter: acton that crosses right into mission. >>justine: pigs that you call this wednesday we will talk with erica about the weather forecast and what we can expect. >>erica: we will have a dry christmas and a dry next couple of days. we are talking 10 to 20 percent and as i walk you through what is going on in the next 24 hours we see some patchy fog forming in the east bay valleys. as we turn our

>>erica: it looks like we will see 61 for navato, san raphael and 60 for san francisco. we are clear and dry around the bay area that is because we have high pressure over us. we have is not a cloud coverage and that will certainly break down we have the potential for wet weather as we take a look at your seven day around the bay forecast. the first chance for rain is actually on tuesday. in the meantime we are looking at upper 50s and 60s with plenty of sunshine and some pretty frigid morning. in the traffic department, east bound 80 has an accident we are not producing any slowdown to lay its have been blocked there is no estimate of time when the lanes will be open. here in the bay area the approach to the bay bridge toll plaza is looking good. your drive
