degrees right now, certainly cooler than it was last night at this time. so it indicates that perhaps napa is going to get down into the mid-20s tonight. we did have mid-20s last night in the cool spots in the north and east bay. most of us tonight will be at freezing but a few folks in the north and east bay communities will have a hard freeze. freeze warning in effect and in effect right through the early morning hours. that means you've got below 32, below freezing for more than a few hours, hard freeze. so if you've got pvc that's exposed, outdoor system or even pipes, you may want to wrap them tonight especially in the inland valleys out towards moraga, up towards the alexander valley. overnight low in santa rosa, napa, fairfield, 30 degrees. frost pretty much everywhere even in the post in pacifica, ocean beach, right up were -- right up there at golden gate park. daytime highs 50s tomorrow, low
