temperature anywhere between about 50 degrees in daly city today to about 55 degrees in oakland, albany, alameda, and also in el cerrito. low 50s in throughout the tri- valley. it's going to have a wind chill that makes it feel a lot cooler in the mid-40s. here's a look at our extended forecast. you notice day by day we have temperatures riding into the 50s. but it's overnight on wednesday night that's new year's eve into thursday where the coldest locations right here in the bay area will drop down to about 25 degrees. primarily the tri-valley and also encompassing gilroy and morgan hill. we'll talk more about that but let's talk about your traffic. here's elizabeth. >> out the door so we have a high wind advisory. i'll show you where that is coming up. in the meantime, we have some roadwork as well once again seeing it along 880 this time in the southbound lanes of 880 between hegenberger and 98th. we're not seeing much of a delay on the sensors. that's a live look near the oakland airport and coliseum. so the bay bridge you will find the high wind advisory in effect issued around 3:3
