40 miles per hour gusts and in the higher terrain, mount diablo. 20 to 30 miles per hour gusts, in santa rosa. gusts are going to stick with us this evening and they're going to die down overnight and that's going to allow the temperatures to drop off tonight in the 30s and low 40s. so it's going to stay brisk into the afternoon. we're looking at temperatures largely in the 50s. as we look ahead, no rain in sight through the weekend or the next. dry weather through the extended forecast. this is a look at the futurecast. everywhere you see the green here, it's breezy, it's going to stay that way through 10:00 tonight. then after midnight you're going to notice the wind gusts die down. when we hit our morning lows, much calmer winds which allows temperatures to drop off.

if those winds die down a little earlier, it's going to be colder than this. right now i think it's largely going to be in the low 40s, away from the coastline, a couple of places getting into the 30s. here in santa rosa, 30 degrees there, napa, 40. pleasanton, 39 to start the day. in the afternoon, we're looking at upper 50s for the south bay, palo alto, 56. we're also going to be in the 50s out in east bay, 55 in pittsburgh and fairfield, 56 in walnut creek. also in the upper 50s in the coastline, same thing for downtown frisco. so again, snow is still on going at this hour, still seeing some rain down in the lower elevations. the snow level is continuing to drop right now. it's going to make its way down to lake level here in the next

hour or so. so a winter weather advisory remains in effect, it has been in effect since 1:00 this afternoon. we're going to go through the evening, you can see up to 8 inches of snow there. lake level between 1 to 3 inches of snow. that's largely going to fall from now into tomorrow morning. there's some snow out there, tomorrow real early, it will start clearing out by the time you're waking up. it's going to be cold tomorrow in the sierra, it's cold also friday, but starting to warm into saturday. so here's a look at your extended forecast tomorrow, your christmas day definitely on the cooler side as we look ahead. we're going to see slightly warmer conditions but really it's only going to be in the low 60s for our max temperatures into next week. let's look at your report, no new snow has been reported just yet but that's going to change with the snow flying at this

i would go for 1. after a play like that, i mean it just doesn't matter. >> painful. >> of course the big story around these parts is that both the raiders and the 49ers will be looking for a new head coach. jim's family was urging him to take the michigan job, absolutely falses say brother john that coaches the ravens. the family has said they're going to stay out of the process and they don't want to know until jim makes his decision. >> speaking about michigan, they tweeted out this message for jim. naturally today, he asked about the tweet from michigan. >> i had a lot of nice birthday wishes, and hopefully, you'll

the sharks lost and scott is considered a repeat offender, hence the 4 game band that takes him through the end of the year without pay. that comes to about 34 thousand dollars. $34,000. now he sprained his ankle in last night's loss to the lakers and fallout with kobe bryant sitting out because of fatigue. he is just shooting about 38% this year they plan to reduce his minutes and they talked to him and they going to sit him at the first and third quarter. the lakers just ran all over the warriors, one of the teams with the worst records here. the warriors have the best record. coby is on board with whatever coach scott decides, and i'm sure it's a blow to his ego but
