>> welcome back. time for another check of the weather with meteorologist dave spahr. now. dave, i don't walk out with rain boots today. but i definitely had a coat on because some will hold its going. is it going to say like that. it's quite a fright from a miami saying yeah, we have moisture, but it's a little bit colder. you keep all that rain gear with you there. you're going to need it in this forecast going forward. storm tracker 4 is somewhat quiet for right now a couple splotches here, but a lot of maybe false returns that we have going on. we might see as whisks in the skies open up just a little bit for a few hours this morning. but all the elements are kind of in place not to give us too much help today. you klow, we have colder air aloft. you know, and because of all this moisture to the ground here. the sun comes out and we're at the lowest the sun has the lowest arc that it's giving us. so we're not getting a lot of help from the sun warming us up. so all the elements are against us with the moisture. the ground of operation temperatures are going to move much today. so everything is against us for that. here's a live shot going on half moon, bay. you can see goal opening up of the skies just a touch.

look for monday afternoon for a little bit better. clearing going on in the afternoon hours particular here's the golden gate bridge the traffic. look at that just a couple of cars coming and going a bit. here's what a storm tracker 4 in the motion. you can see all the rain is broken up. doesn't look to be too much upstream, but it's going to become more pronounced by this afternoon and into the evening hours, particularly having said that, we've had with the rain kind of shut off a little bit in the skies. open up a touch allowed some of that radiational cooling going on with evaporation really absorb a lot of heat who with us. so we got a lot of 30's on the board with wet roads and so forth. so a little bit of caution here with that not out of the question in some bally's to get some black ice here and there a little lower 40's along the east bay shoreline. remember there being protected by the water and the marine layer a little bit. san francisco at 4648 for half moon bay. so it really shows you how cold this air mass is that even colder than the water. so going forward on futurecast for again, we have a quick opening up of the

skies before too long. the stills up with another punch of rain. this is taking us into the evening hours. then another little break and then a more earnest batch of rain. you can see pre-dawn. so in the early morning commute will be probably dealing with kind of some sloppy weather. again, that will be coupled with winds which someone to get to a bit monday afternoon. we open up the skies but don't expect the temperatures to do much of anything. so carmella they should keep the coat handy because you'll need it be chilly with the breeze added to that's because those winds today we got the clouds redeveloping by the afternoon air is going start to shift here on shore. here comes our next batch of rain on top of all of this overnight. and then tomorrow afternoon with the skies opening up. we still have good solid winds coming in from the coast in the teens to lower 20. so it's going to have a chill even though we'll have the sun on your shoulder, a touch there. the winds really don't are subsiding until we get to around tuesday here. so here's the breakdown here early sun today, cool and breezy on balance showers redevelop by noon. it's gonna start up in the north bay early in the week. sun

returns. little bit on monday and then rain by late monday night cold rain takes us till tuesday. this is what's really getting interesting. we get into tuesday. wednesday zone here. we have very low snow levels. this is the chance for the east bay hills. this is sometimes your chance once eat twice a year to get some of that. maybe token snow on the cars and so forth and a very high levels. then late in the week. we've got a few showers clearing out, though. they're kind of showers jumping in and out. cold cold highs are going to be lower 50's. if you're lucky, we're putting on the seven-day keeping them in the upper 40's all week long. so for today. yeah. we have some lower 50's and the board. morning sun everywhere. and then the afternoon showers come marching back in again here looks like on the board here, lower 50's but mostly upper 40's camilla. >> well, dave, it's also cold in lake tahoe are taking a live look at the snow conditions. they're all its beautiful like a winter wonderland. but it was also a frustrating christmas for travelers. they were hoping to get through the system a summit and nonstop snow in the

wind gusts with this. maybe clocked as high as about a 100 miles per hour or so. that's another little wrinkle in this as well. future cast for going forward. rain. and then as we get to the later afternoon. more of a commitment of rain. then a second dose. that's the one that will be around tomorrow morning for a little bit more on the way. moderate to heavy rain. we see the skies open up a touch for monday and then full back in again on tuesday. let's step back now for the longer range forecast here. we get through all that traffic to around tuesday. here's a little doses. well, remember, this is cold now and everything you see is coming from the northwest. unlike we've had been seen this been fortified by the mid levels are the the mid latitudes ince more southern latitudes of the pacific and that errors obviously milder schools off by the time it gets here, but it's has more moisture in it than this does. so this is going to colder and we're going to see a couple ways of this all the way. the middle, the week, there's a little period of some drying out just a touch and then it looks like we head into the weekend. me little sprinkle, maybe perhaps

new year's day, perhaps. but that's just a sprinkle by that point it should try to dry out a little bit. 4 zone forecast. it's not real thrilling but walk through those numbers 50 water. so san francisco and mirrored at the coast, too, as we see on bayside as well. heading down south numbers aren't moving 52 for palo alto and the santa clara valley morgan hill at 49. wow. 50 los gatos 51 for cupertino. we have a rain event like this a lot of uniformity with temperatures but inland. it's a struggle upper 40's around 50 happening along the east bay shoreline. berkeley 4849 filet o fairfield. 4746 napa. 48 santa rosa. that's what you can expect for much of the week ahead. although conditions will change now. so we do drop off a little bit more. so as we get to tuesday, wednesday, wednesday particular. we bottom out. we only get up to the upper 40's to near about 50 finishing off the week. we'll do a little drying out. watch out. some of those lows particular by midweek. here could be some black ice going on and the early morning hours, particularly in some of the
