where we should be this time of year. now, tomorrow we're going to start really c-illy once again, a little colder than possibly last night. and then as we look ahead, we've got new year's eve to look forward to in. the question is, will the weather hold always the question. let's talk about the cold temperatures tomorrow morning. so this is about 07:00am and it shows you where the risk of freezing temperatures are meeting. 32 degrees or below. obviously it's those interior valleys in the north bay east bay and south bay. but notice even along the peninsula, we have this cold is a little more widespread. so lows and looking out for tonight. now here in san francisco about 42 degrees. but 32 up in santa rosa. 35 in napa. you head over to the east bay conquer. 36 34 in livermore in down in the south bay. 36 in san jose. 33 in morgan hill and some of the more wind sheltered valleys could certainly get colder than that. in fact, possible even see some of those upper 20's in the north bay where they're under that freeze warning. now you can see the frost advisories also for the coast and for parts of the east bay and the peninsula. but notice that we also have that freeze warning down in parts of the santa clara hills, the eastern santa clara hills, too. so this is

very widespread. so just make sure you're ready for it. now, let's talk about new year's eve at the forecast for that. we go through tonight. obviously some high clouds out there, but really nice to start tomorrow. nice and sunny once again, i don't think we'll see much in the way of marine layer and then this happened. not really good timing. 5 o'clock. you start to see some of these clouds roll in. now they do lighten up at one point later in the evening. but this is about 9 o'clock. so that's gonna make our fireworks a little bit tricky. and there is the midnight hour there, as you can see. so our new year's forecast, the upside is that we are going to see temperatures improve a little bit. san francisco looking out about 48 degrees when midnight hit. when we get into the new year. but as far as the cloud cover is concerned, it's a little tough, right, because we've got that over spilling of clouds from the systems to the north of us that even though we stay dry, some of the clouds make make it in. so we'll cross our fingers for that. keep an eye on it for you tomorrow. the rest of the week looking good. we do have a slight shower chance on friday. looks like a 10th of an inch of rain at best. back to you. all right. still ahead, tomorrow, new year's eve. and you can ring in here

with us. >> on kron 4, we're going preview our coast to coast countdown. a historic lottery winner right here in california. details and big jackpot win on news at 3 returns.

>> one mega millions players ringing in the new year in shasta county with the 5th largest mega millions jackpot in history. so this puts an end, though, to the lottery's three-month dry spell of having no grand prize winners, the winning ticket for that 1.2, 2 billion dollar jackpot was sold at a circle k in

cottonwood the winner can claim that prize an annual payouts or take home a one-time cash payout of about 560 million dollars. the next drawing is set for tomorrow. goes back to that. just 20 million dollar jackpot. officials are warning of a donation scam connected to the santa cruz wharf collapse. scammers are claiming to represent businesses that were impacted by last week's partial collapse and they're asking people for money about 150 feet at the end of the wharf was destroyed and officials say was caused by some historic swells and the work being under construction in closed because of previous storms. so don't fall victim to the scam. >> still ahead here at 3 o'clock the last home game of the season, the niners set to take on me. detroit lions. tonight. we're gonna go live to levi's for preview. plus the year's eve right around the corner and kron four's a place to be. we'll take a look at what to expect coast to coast downtown. that's

tomorrow night off of the chp reminding people to celebrate safely tomorrow night. we're going to talk with the sergeant from the chp to get some details on those maximum could trolls

>> all right. tonight, during monday night football, it features the forty-niners with their last home game of the season. and joining us now live from levi's is kron. 4 sports reporter aaron wilson. how does this game tonight against the detroit lions? look, despite, you know, i know we're not going to the super bowl are anything but they still plan some of the big name stars tonight. >> well, just seeing that,

thing that we're wondering and waiting to see, we know that some of the guys will absolutely not be out there. we do know that some of the younger guys will get a chance to show what they have. some of the guys like ricky pearsall make it more snaps this time around being that they have nothing to lose. however, they have a lot of great to show this going to be a gritty game or at least we hope so on the niners side being that they are hosting the detroit lions here at home. if you remember last year around same time, they host the detroit lions here for the nfc championship now and that they were fighting for a super bowl appearance in this one, not nearly as heavy of implications, however, if they are able to write spoiler tonight against the detroit lions that not only lead to the fact that they continue to keep the bragging rights, least here at home over the detroit lions beating a very strong team and a team that's been very dominant this season, 13 to 2 on the season. the lions, however, they can also if the lions tie against the minnesota vikings next week. that means because they lost to the niners, they will not be able to lock up the nfc

a title. the end of the number one feet and that home-field advantage to start in the playoffs. so of course, the lions have already punched their ticket to the playoffs. but the niners have a little chance to at you know, caught. i'm just a little bit to keep them from getting in of the top number one seed in having home-field advantage. but that's due to the outcome against the minnesota vikings net next week. now that being the niners will have to do that without a lot of their key guys out here, especially on the offensive mind. take a listen to what caution and had to say about the guys that are absolutely not going to be on bill tonight. >> spencer burford will be out green all be out and banks out. robert peel out brown questionable called mckivitz questionable tatum. bethune question will very short questionable having 3 guys up to or on other teams. practice squads last week. you know, the kind he's obviously not there. and, you know, just them not being in the building with verbiage and things like that's a big challenge. they've done a good job of work. and, you know, get in

here today before christmas working on christmas, trying to catch up into that cell phone. all we can still got more time to the game. and those guys will be working as much mentally to get ready. but anytime you're new and haven't been out there, much is always a challenge. >> now that same when you talk about guys that are not know, look at that guy out there on the field working out right now getting warmed up. i'm talking about george kittle. he just 33 yards away from another 1000 yard season. if he's able to get those. 33 tonight, he will join the club of only other 5 of that idea is to be able to get 1000 yards in a season for 4 season straight. now, of course, that's something to fight for. they're not fighting for super bowl. as you mentioned, just but like i say that they want to continue to have those reagan right to get the detroit lions here at home and play as much of the spoiler as they can when it comes to these location, then come out here tonight and try to put everything out on the field as they said in the locker room all during the week. >> they want end the season strong in over the last few weeks of the season, they will

be able to tell who really wants to be a 9 that the niners focused the night. of course, we'll have to wait and see how games breakdown that will come back at 4. give you more of an update of what's going on out here at levi's. but for now, out of the back to you guys in the studio air in live at levi, well, they're definitely going to send it to kittle then because they're going to want him to break this record and they looked loose getting like some good stretching inspiration watching yeah, they're getting more. i'm just saying they're going one for sure. think there and we'll see you at >> all right. we'll see what the weather like during night or night as we take a live look inside quickly here at the bay bridge toll plaza. no rain. but kyle, what's going to be like for fans going to that final home game of the season looking good. actually, the weather should be grade. we're talking about 55 degrees. when we kick off about 5.15, today, you know, wind should be negligible. we should have a few clouds out there. so look out for that. but other than that. >> really looking good for the weather for the game tonight to enjoy yourself. that's where you are headed. blue skies here as we take a live

look that quake tower in san francisco just been an absolutely beautiful day. temperatures here. 57 degrees. 59 in oakland, you see a few low 60's out there, too. but for the most part, we're really where we should be seasonally for this time of year. we started a little cold, but we kind of made up for it working our way into the afternoon. wind is relatively calm. that'll be nice for the game as well, obviously. but this is a pretty good. it's, you know, north northwesterly flow and everything kind of under that 10 mile per hour. mark stormtracker 4 showing the beautiful blue skies that we've got will keep those as we work our way through the night. that unfortunately kind of blends itself to getting a little cold tonight, though, too, because when the clouds are not there, you just get the heat of the day escaping very, very quickly. and those temperatures do start to plummet. so as we know that is coming, let's get the dogs out for the long walk today because we've dried out a little bit. you don't have to worry about the muddy paws as much today as maybe you did this weekend or last week. temperatures looking good for you. wanna creek? we're going to be sitting in the 50's for the rest are afternoon into the early part of our evening. so there you go. pets. take it. take to the streets. all

products or any other drug out there that can cause you to drive. corley is what we're looking for. >> and so maximum enforcement means no days off. guys got overtime. your positions on all the highways and freeways throughout the bay area. looking for these drivers. also, people are not wearing their seat belts speeding when you see the most stuff. >> you know it exactly. so it's all hands on deck. more people than we would normally have out there on chance. we have extra people out there with that focus for dui. so obviously i think everyone knows new year's very commonly associated with people going out and partying. so our biggest thing is dui. but really any safety? hazard that we see out there is what we're there for. but also other goal is just making sure that people that are out and about are getting where they're going safely. so if they're broken down or running across other issues on our freeway, having those additional chp resources out there means that they can get help faster. >> have the numbers from the
