showers. we definitely still have some showers for the southern part of the bay area working their way out of the picture, though. so this right here is definitely the last of this remnant moisture. and you can see how skies actually clear out really nicely come the afternoon today is going to be a gorgeous one for valentine's day. nba all-star weekend activities. and of course, lunar new year parade. going on in san francisco. so busy in the city with these improving conditions. the sierra does have some lingering snow fall into early afternoon, but only a few inches remain around 2 to 6 inches at most of additional snowfall can be expected in the sierra. so we are at the tail end of this. a winter storm warning does technically remain in effect through 10:00pm tonight we have flood watches in solano county. a flood warning still in effect for those lower elevations into the russian river. just west of santa rosa. now, as far as winds go, this is a factor that remains fairly constant today, 20 to 30 mile per hour gusts. so it will be

breezy from time to time. don't be surprised by that. daytime highs will stay in the 50's today. but look at the rest of the weekend. tomorrow and sunday. we got some 60's on the way. and even though i'm not completely ruling out early morning sprinkle on sunday, this is predominantly a dry forecast from this point forward leading into next week. still looking fine on our roads. 11 minutes across the bay bridge. just now starting to see that slow down through the toll plaza courtesy those metering lights that will be on today. still in the process of trying to clear out that stalled big rig in the right lane at the san mateo bridge. as of right now, this is starting to result in increased backup. hopefully they can get this guy moved here fruity quickly. as of right now you can see the tow truck as well as chp. still there. but that's still a big rig has been blocking the right lane of traffic for over an hour now. so definitely something that we hope gets cleared out, especially as we start to see the morning commute picking up the state
