mike nicco joining is now with the forecast. ain on your radar screen at the moment, unfortunately. mike: not really. it would all evaporate before it reaches the ground because the air is so dry in the lower elevations. let's go back to that great news you told us and show you exactly what the byproduct has been. you can see just how green and lush everything is, so nice to wake up to that and not have to worry about a fire danger, especially when it becomes quite breezy tonight and tomorrow in our hills. so we started early and we started really robustly. look at october. i color-coded it. this is october, green means everybody was above average. here's november, great, everybody below, december, everybody above. january, low again. places like san jose haven't even received any rain yet. so does that mean february is going to be wet? i sure hope so because we have a ways to go. we are still in that severe drought. you can see the percentage for today's date, while up considerably, we're still lacking anywhere from about 21 to

dan: mike nicco is back. we need more rain. mike: it will be nice to have a break.are so saturated, there is so much snow, if we do get a break, then we get back on the track. that should be ok for the rest of the year. it may not happen that way. let's talk about today. they look back in 2021 2021 2021 yearly billion-dollar disasters. if you are thinking weather has become more extreme, you are right. look at that, from 2016 to 2020 we averaged 16 billion-dollar weather disasters. last year, 20 which ranked second. 145 billion dollars spent on those disasters. california accounted for three of those 20. let's take a look at those. flooding was 20th. drought and heat wave, $8.9 billion. wildfires, that ranked as the most expensive billion-dollar weather climate disaster, $11 billion. just here in california, nearly $21 billion spent. what we have moving forward is la niÑa. it's going to weaken into neutral as we had deeper into the spring and that possibly means drier than average weather. we definitely frontloaded this winter. i sure hope that is not correct. krist

mike nicco found the baby. it is considered good luck if you have the figurine.t is tradition for the lucky person shooter of yesterday on february 2 -- lucky person to throw a fiesta on february 2. >> let's turn our attention to the forecast. >> we coming and it will be early tomorrow although some of the roads are already slippery because of the drizzle tonight. let me show you alive picture from sfo. it is still overcast across that region. visibility down to a mile and three quarters. four miles in half moon bay. it never quiet cleared out of the area. we did not expect it. you can see all of that fog. as we take a look at the temperatures, the san jose camera showing you a nice view of the shark tank. it is cool outside. being. foggy night with drizzly areas. we do have chilly mornings coming up this weekend with some fog. it will be dry otherwise. tomorrow is a light level 1 storm system. really red around cloverdale and by the time we go to 8:00 a.m., north bay is getting wet, san francisco is starting to see the rain and at 11:00 a.m., scattered around th

like mike nicco who is running to the weather center now. mike: i was in the wrong spot.e information is the same and wonderful. mike: hopefully that is my mulligan for this one. let's take a look at what is going on outside. the statewide averages snowpack. but look at the dichotomy between how green it is in california and how brown it is in nevada. there's a reason why nevada is one of the driest if not the driest state in -- states in the u.s. here's a look at what is going on in tahoe and as we look at the next seven days, pretty much nothing as far as snow. temperatures in the 20's in the morning and about 50 in the afternoon hours. the weekend still looking around the mid 50's around friday and upper 50's to mid 60's for saturday. then back into the upper 50's or maybe a degree or two cooler for sunday. a gorgeous sunset and this is just the beginning. during this warmer than average regime, we are going to have air quality that is healthy, but it is not looking as healthy as yesterday. all of us will be in the moderate category through sunday. larry: i like a man

mike nicco, fantastic day to be out on the water. sue through 1:00 with the beach hazard statement but that was more for rip currents and some of the sneaker waves. though surfers are probably used to dealing with it. for the rest of us, we stayed away. that was beautiful. hopefully we can keep that going. i want to show you well something just as stunning. instead of looking down from sky seven, we are looking up. a stunning look at the northern lights, combined with a full moon. a skier was treated to this vivid display while trekking through the wilderness in a small province in finland. the tourism departments as you can see the northern lights 200 nights per year in that region. i would like to say that was mainly for kristen sze to see. that is one of her bucket lists. she loves northern lights. that was pretty spectacular. i have seen them a couple times. nothing ever like that. looks like the city is on fire as we look back from emeryville. 53 degrees. quite chilly out there. . 59, oakland. 52, half moon bay. here is a differe
