7:45 am
to the area roads but issue to take away from this is we're looking at some blizzard conditions coming in that just makes for horrendous driving conditions. okay. here's what we have here in the forecast. very simple to say blizzard blizzard snow. look at those highs in the 20's and he got over the graphics. you get an idea. the blizzard warning actually kicks in tomorrow. so we have the winter storm warning that goes to a blizzard warning all the way into about 04:00am on wednesday. gives you an idea about how long this unsettled weather even in the bay. we'll start to flip over for the latter portion of the week. so what we have locally, still a lot of that low level moisture in place clouds and so forth. we some breaks here and there. but the heavier stuff is due up north, handing it over to future cast for that's freezing here. pretty involved at 1 o'clock here right across the rest of the bay. but by the late afternoon, might see some patches opening up here to the north a little bit for some sun. pretty quiet overnight until the next wave gets here. looks to be in the lake commute. so that would be say after 9 o'clock, this is
7:46 am
when the heavier stuff comes. notice that is noting mount hamilton. i'm mount tam, computer models, just tennessee, that kind of bit. we do have a lower snow levels by standard of the season. sure, but they're going to be more 2,2500 feet and that sort of thing. but what's part it is because it is still kind of fairly low. you don't have that. a lot of agitation to drive some hail and thunder showers. we saw some hail in this last a of systems. so we'll probably see some of that as well. when we add some instability in those know low snow levels because that freezes the raindrops and you start to have the ice crystals rubbing against each other. so we have a break up for monday night. more to happen. however, as we get into tuesday about the winds today with a pop, not enough for advisory, but a good solid when working here for a couple of hours on shore into the teens. but what we're really watching the national weather service's noting this, we do see winds with this next system. it will start predawn and be with us all morning. the heavier waves will be the heavier winds will be probably
7:47 am
in the late morning. but then the afternoon it will still remain pretty windy with all of that. even for the evening commute. this is tuesday morning. it's still been on the breezy side. so unsettled is probably good way to phrase the next couple of days to start the workweek. rain winds by noon locally here. cool. we've got highs near about 50. that's basically your sunday now for early into the week. we've got windy early for the lake commute. heavy rain builds and then it will drop to the east and the south bay by the late afternoon and might even linger a little bit to the early commute by that point. but breaking up elsewhere for the week ahead, tuesday, wednesday, rain unsettled thursday, cold morning. it's going to probably our coldest morning on thursday because it dries out. clears out. that's where you get the really cold temperatures. now, when you have precipitation occurring and then some scattered clouds. one note tuesday night, wednesday or i'm thursday night friday, there's a little opportunity for maybe a little rain shower. that's march through this real quickly here. monday. here's the hit. we just talked about on the early week. we get a
7:48 am
break and that's the the old talking about thursday into friday might have an overnight shower before next weekend looks to be maybe although this storm systems favoring the north more maybe might have some unsettled weather to make note up to and maybe some snow, low snow levels to 52 across the board will call it afternoon rain and winds 70. all right, dave, thank you so much for that. >> well, remember the city back in the 90's. the niners won the super bowl and the giants were still playing at candlestick. and if you're feeling sentimental about that san francisco back in the day, there is a place ready to help you celebrate vicki liviakis explains in this morning's dine and dish. >> at the foot of market street in san francisco. one market is feeling some 90's. nostalgia, hard to believe, but one market here has been around for. the lounge.
