store. take the jackets if you are going outside. no coastal fog. very little valley fog if any. we have a good breeze with that front wind this afternoon. and the winds will be kind of just breezy this evening. that is just enough a little bit. the wind is enough to break up the valley fog or radiation fog cycle. so overnight lows will be chilly. we talked about that. tomorrow morning is cool. like 38 in santa rosa. 39, in saint helena. but lows will be in the 30s friday morning and saturday morning. and the fog will want to come back too. but not yet. not tomorrow. so the way this sets off, the low drops in. it is actually a pretty cold one. it drops snow levels as well. it has pushed the rain through. now the cold air is going to sit over the top to us. it has been brought in by the breezy conditions and we just slowly try to warm up. so remember, yesterday, we had record heat. tomorrow's temperatures will be in the 50s . yesterday, we had  temperatures almost in the 70s . tomorrow, we will have temperatures almost in the 60s

. it is a big drop off. a dry weather pattern all the way to new year's. show you where the jet stream is. saturday, sunday, you can see the time sunday at 7:00. monday, the jet stream is way up there. that is how you know it is not going to rain. tuesday, new year's eve. that is a big ridge of high pressure. if that is me and i have relatives in town and i have the week off, i'm at point reyes, the coast. you go skiing up in the mountains. classic california weather for the holidays an plenty of rain. we can smile about it. we have a lot of rain in the last few weather systems as a matter of fact. some places like oakland got 50% of their rainfall accumulation for the year. 50% of it. in just that ten day period. so forecast highs tomorrow. about upper 50s , low 60s . not much different the following days. a little more sunshine. fog wants to return friday, saturday, sunday, monday. steady as she goes.

i'm glad it will be nice. it was a big three-week period. that was a big time. a big series of storms. >> it is guilt free sunshine. >> if we didn't have the rain, i would be going we need rain. we would all feel bad. >> we have gone so long without it. >> it worked out well. >> thanks bill. >> thank you very much. the delaney street foundation in san francisco is giving away trees and wreaths. they raise money for their program for on the job training. but since tomorrow is christmas day, the trees and wreaths are free tonight to help clear out the lot. two women we spoke with today said they come every year, pick out a tree and bring it home for a decorating party on christmas eve. >> i always give a donation. but it is terrific because i think trees are really expensive and so i always give a donation. seeing the christmas spirit here in the lot beyond these
