it's now and here in the bay area, just a little bit of light drizzle says they show you here on storm tracker as we kind of take up a picture of a moment, right? that happening right now. you really don't see a whole lot coming down. just a few little pops on the radar. some of it may not even be hitting the ground. but what it's done is kind of leave us a little bit drizzly and a little bit unsettled. and it is the precursor to what's coming later this evening, which is another round of showers. so right now it's a little bobby out there, right? it's a little warmer than it was yesterday were in the warm sector of this storm. notice the roads are a little damp. so that doesn't mean that they will be a little bit slick out there. but temperature wise, we're already up to 61 degrees in san jose. you can see 50's in san francisco all the way down to half moon bay. so we are in a position of temperatures being pretty nice today. but the weather itself being gray and a little drizzly and that a little rainy. but this is a difference in temperatures in 24 hours ago now. so we're up about 7 degrees in san francisco. you can see even higher than that and some other spots across the bay highs today will be above average in spots and about where we should be in others.

through our holiday week into the weekend. having said that, highway 50 is not where you want to be right now. right? so if you're not already up there, you kind of have to hold steady until you get a break. so right now we are under a winter weather advisory. this does go through noon on friday. so your next opportunity to get up there would be later in the day on friday. we're looking out for another 2 to 8 inches above about 6,000 feet. but up at the peaks, we could see up to 20 inches. very gusty wind as well on the way possibly gusting up to about 55 miles per hours. let's take you through futurecast and you'll notice the rain will come to san francisco tonight and the bay area. you can see that kind of gets going pretty quickly. and then as we head over this year, you see the snow there by about 6 o'clock. so it will be really fully involved as we get into the night tonight and then overnight hours continuing by the time we get in tomorrow, we start to clear out, but notice by friday evening here comes another little hit. this does look a whole lot less, though, friday evening and saturday. so this is the snow we're looking to pick up with this system. if i really through the weekend, though, you continue add to those totals, making it a pretty

good weekend for the sierra, at least as far as adding 2 things goes keeping that snow pack going. so today, all about the snow tomorrow. some showers in the morning. and then as we get into saturday, that's going to be a pretty nice day for skiing. it looks like mostly cloudy skies, but we should stay dry. meanwhile, back in the bay, we are staying cloudy and drizzly and we're looking out for a little rain. that's on the way as we get later into the evening. that will be the story today. tomorrow we'll wake up with snow showers still kind of rolling through and winding up. windy conditions as well. middle of drizzly on our saturday. i'll be back in just a bit. we'll take a look at that 7 day forecast. all right. thanks so much. digging deeper into holiday travel and the weather impacts meteorologist tom skilling takes us inside the cockpit to find out how pilots are briefed on the weather. >> there's a rhythm to a busy airport. steady steps

orchestrated departures. a quick embrace goodbye. but we were audience to a much smaller stage. it's just so cool. >> this is our office. this is and a lot of ice to more time here that into my car. tapped and calories. spring flyers, one of the largest planes for the largest airline in the world. >> navigation here. so this is my route. engine instruments for both to to trials for 2 engines. we have landing gear lever here. he landed a job at united in 1987, a big cross country for me when i learned to fly was decatur to springfield. think it's like 30 miles now at the helm of an aircraft that stands nose and body above the rest. the seasoned pilot navigates a behemoth 7.87 dreamliner to europe, asia, south america. >> and hawaii, when you turn on the fasten seat belt sign, how do you do this right here? that all sides, that's a great

talking shot with sprigg is just this one is talking weather. what sort of weather really concerss you when you're flying and you're playing around? be honest, there's whether we can't fly. and i mean, we fly airplanes out of the hurricanes in the typhoon areas. we >> leave that alone. let the hurricane moved through and then we'll fly back. and so we can't fly and that there's some snow events that are too deep to take off in our land and that iphone and some pretty severe weather. i've been in 50 knot winds and some crazy stuff in the airplane can do it. but it's based on experience too. >> we lived by whether every second of the day, you know, i'm thinking about whether as i'm driving to work or even the night before and starting to look at weather ahead of flight the other day to tokyo, we were dealing with low key knows that had erupted. we had to fly around. there was a typhoon approaching tokyo from the south. my radar really can only look out 8200 miles. so what you know, 25 years ago would fly up to the stormy. then you see it. then you have to fly around that adds miles

and fuel. >> now with the internet, you can see these building earlier. i see that live here on my ipad and i can. way earlier. >> deviate around whether this is what captain sprays flight plan guidance looks like today. we didn't have the computer capability 20 years ago to do this. rap and precision missile scale it takes a very high-powered computer. they divide the sky up into tiny little grits. and in that we can actually almost see turbulence. it's where their professions, a pilot and meteorologist collide. we call these pickles in the pilot world. their flight plan guidance. and when you click on, will tell you the out to to set the turbulence is that every single day in this room are managing some kind of weather where nathan it is a senior manager of meteorology united. his team is embedded that the airlines massive. >> network operations center today, we're monitoring a couple large weather systems

that to one on the west coast, but also this one coming through the >> ohio valley into the east coast. that's providing a a lot of low ceilings. low visibilities yesterday had a lot of fog issues or weather team here. we have a team of 14 that supports the airline. 24 7. >> the forecasters there generate the sophisticated weather maps. pilots like captain sprayed use to plan their routes. what happens exactly when a plane goes through a choppy area? well, what's going on there? >> yeah, i like to describe it is that our airplanes are like a boat on a river and the river in this case is the jet stream. that's a river of air. as you imagine a fast-flowing river is not always smooth. so if you're in an airplane flying along on that river, any of those little swirls are at ease or what your airplane feels as flying along in that stream of there. there's always turbulence, right? it's almost impossible to avoid turbulence. 100 1% of what we try to do here mitigate the highest risk of turbulence. it's not just a bumpy ride that concerns the team.

believe it or one of the highest prior concerns and it on top of our radar is volcanic ash. >> emissions. we watch those around the globe. the atmospheric phenomena in this case, volcanic ash clouds reduced visibility damage, flight controls and can cause engines to fail. >> but closer to home, mixed precipitation is probably the most impactful weather event that we incur because we basically cannot operate with ice pellets falling, that any sort of rate that the significant it's amazingly accurate. it's not perfect, it's made sunny. but cold day in chicago. >> we watch captain sprague maneuver his 7.87 to the i kind of want people to appreciate the magic still bound for honolulu. the winter weather has yet to catch because, you know, they get on now days in the close, the

window shade and they're read their e-mails or watch a movie. it. >> and a lot of people don't want to take or land and that that was so fun. we want people to appreciate that magic because it still really is. >> still ahead kron, 4 news at noon, a dazzling christmas display drew big crowds to san jose. a look inside the historic event and what made this year's celebration even more special. plus, a christmas classic at chase center last night as steph curry and lebron james battled it out in prime time. we've got the highlights and reactions coming up in sports.

also seeing drizzle, right? we've had that throughout the morning and we're staying relatively quiet right now as we look at the north bay here down into san francisco, heading over to the east bay, just a little bit of a sprinkle that is out there that will change as we get later into the afternoon and early evening hours. and we start to see this next system rolls through. obviously also have that snow in the sierra that we're talking about. wind is not bad right now. you can see it is a typical onshore flow. but as we see the system move through, this wind is going to pick up tonight into tomorrow. so taking about 10, 30 and start to see a more southerly component to it really gets going in the overnight hours. and that means you wake up tomorrow, very gusty. so if you're you know, going across any bridges, you might feel that just be ready for it will start to improve as we work our way into friday afternoon. so future cast here telling you that. yeah, we've got a couple more hours before this kicks off. this is about 5.30. we'll start to see some of those showers move from the northwest to the southeast. going through the evening into the overnight. i think that's when we could see some of the heavier showing about 11:00pm

right now. and then taking into the overnight. you see it starts to lighten up, leaving us tomorrow morning with a little bit of drizzle out there. and certainly some of that wind still left over another hit coming our way as we get into friday evening. this one does not look as potent as the one we're going to see tonight. but you can see it just really stays unsettled right through the weekend. that's your saturday. you're taking a look at their so rain totals between now and tomorrow. we're talking about an inch in the north bay between about half an inch and 3 quarters of an inch elsewhere. the exception to that santa cruz mountains, which will likely get a little bit more as well. but then we're going to add to those totals as we have the success of systems rolling into the woods all said and done. we're looking between, you know, an inch and 2 inches of rain to pick up between now and sunday. so where does that leave us on the when do we dry out meter? well, let's take a look at this. first of all, you can and a big change in the pattern, right? so we're going to get into a dry position. gonna have those cooler overnight lows with us as well. but the next few days and that does include kwanzaa, which is starting today. so happy kwanzaa. if you celebrate next few days, you can want to keep that umbrella
