scott and laura, good morning to you. of course, his time in politics and the white house was just one small aspect of jimmy carter's life and legacy. after his time here in washington, he spent the rest of his life trying to make people around the world's lives better. people in atlanta have been leaving flowers and notes outside the carter presidential center. remembrances for the nation's longest living president, who died sunday at 100 years old. the tributes pouring in from around the world and across the nation. a moment of silence before the washington commanders game outside d.c, new york's empire state building lit up in red, white and blue. the flag atop the white house lowered to half staff. this is a sad day. president biden, vacationing in saint croix, remembered his longtime colleague and friend and reflected on his legacy. jimmy carter lived a life measured not by words but by his deeds. he forged peace, advanced civil rights, human rights, promote a free and fair elections around the world. my name is jimm

new year's eve i'm scott mcgrew, filling in for marcus. and i'm laura garcia. welcome to this final day of the year. all right. it's a cold start to our morning as well. and i would imagine it's going to be cold through the day. yeah, it will be. it will be a gradual warm up, so might not be till mid morning where we start to feel that sunshine warmth. finally we are looking at some frost advisories in place, the freeze warnings and the purple up towards the north bay and some of the foothills down here in the south bay. notice though, that parts of san francisco and the immediate coastline aren't in this. it just takes a little bit longer to cool down those temperatures out by the water, as it does in our inland valleys. and that's where we look at the freezing numbers right now through parts of danville, approaching that right now in parts of san martin. 35 for you. 33 in boulder creek, the low 40s right there in the immediate bay. so not as cold as places up in the north bay. 34 in santa calistoga right now. but as we go on and talk about our new year's eve

scott mcgrew. marcus has the day off, and i'm laura garcia. we'll check that morning commute with mike in just a little bit. last monday of 2024, what are we in store for weather wise? you know, some people just don't know what day it is because of the holidays. that's true. mixing in together. but the thing is, we're all feeling the cold this morning. so let's go on and check on the current readings right now. 36 in santa rosa, that evaporation happening. so you might be seeing some patchy fogand yes, we're seeing it out towards the tri-valley right there as some people still have to head to work this morning. but we notice the numbers a bit warmer out there. 4447 in san bruno. i'm not looking at any visibility issues as you maybe take a flight out of sfo, but just continue to check on that. 47 in san jose we kept the cloud cover, so that removed us from the frost advisory that we thought we would have down here in the south bay. but i do see it getting colder into tomorrow. so we'll check on what those freeze watches and warnings are going o
