moisture continues to stream our way. still cold enough that lots of areas still, this pink that goes down here to north carolina, still pockets of light freezing rain that will be the case for a few more hours. you see it across the metro. not much going on at the moment towards the blue ridge but more moisture out there. the on and off showers through at least made, if not late morning will be with us. as we look at futurecast, it's going to push things up to 7:00 a.m. upper 20s to low 30s. we have to watch out north and west here through 7:00 a.m. after that, look how the futurecast scoots this moisture to the east. temperatures by 9:00 above freezing. so conditions by mid-morning and late morning will be far better than this morning when many neighborhoods and side streets are still rather slick. by lunch time maybe some showers still lingering out south. this afternoon believe it or not low 40s and i think we're going to get into a little bit of sunshine here and there. so that's going to be a lot better. let's go ov

most of the moisture out of the north bay and not picking up more snow there and leftover moisture in the south bay and wind for everyone this afternoon. right now gusting over 15 miles per hour to 24 miles per hour. around alit ma pass and along the coast and it's a breezy day today and temperatures are still relatively warm this morning compared to where they will be tonight and sunday night when a freeze warning goes up, so we still are going to look for some awfully cold temperatures in the mornings the next few mornings. san jose, nice and sunny for you. so breezy and chilly with the sunshine. temperatures today just in the 40s. maybe 50 if you're lucky. here's a look at the next several days. forecasting overnight lows just a little bit below freezinging in santa rosa. look at monday and tuesday. monday morning the coldest morning in the low 20s and then look at temperatures slowly recovering not until the middle of the next week. next couple of hours with coastal showers and sunshine dominating the skies today with breezy winds and the winter storm warning for an hour and a hal

moisture is in the central coast.uz but mostly sunshine today and 58 degrees and palo alto and 60 in san jose. cooler in the north bay. lows will not be freezing we have had but 37 degrees in napa and 36 in santa rosa and 39 in morgan hill. 42 in palo alto. 41 in antioch. the seven-day forecast shows "spare the air" today. bad air quality. we that will change overnight. we will see cleaner air tomorrow afternoon. a chance of rain overnight. cooler on friday. the first day of winter is on saturday and then a warm-up at 64 for the weekend and early next week if christmas. we have problems in the traffic department a couple of things for 880 with the five miles of backup because of the accident involving two vehicles and a big rig and this is at 5 the avenue and c.h.p. is moving and we have the heavy backup trying to may the commute into oakland. watch out for that. starting with the bay bridge toll plaza the metering lights are not on and it is empty because of the accident, don't let this fool you, use 580 instead. wal

here's phase 3, the next slug of moisture. we're talking about a lot of moisture now for the next possibly 12 hours. so some heavy freezing rain is possible overnight. we've had reports from manassas of thunder and lightning. the atmosphere is very dynamic. so we are getting reports of sleet mixed in with freezing rain and quite frankly, the sleet would be a silver lining because that will not accumulate on the trees and power lines. it will interfere with the roads more so than freezing rain, but of the two evils sleet is the lesser of the two. up to 33 downtown, but still 30 in gaithersburg, leesburg and in manassas and upper 20s out to the north and west. so morning commute, icy north and west of town. the district will be above 32 by 7:00. frederick, maryland, may take until 10:00 to get above freezing and leesburg. we'll come back and talk about how i've already lowered temperatures for tomorrow and increased the snow chances tuesday and how much ice could accumulate overnight. >>> here's something that will be very helpf

not a ton of moisture in the air but it doesn't take much to create black ice and cause issues.uch with out from petaluma and novato and when you get over to san rafael you can see we are up to 47 degrees and 49 in mill valley. freezing in guerneville but no reports offing for. freezing in napa and american canyon, no reports of fog. we are 37 in lafayette, and 36 in san ramon, and newark is 39, low-to-mid 40's around cupertino and redwood city and san carlos and alameda. now, the day planner the next 12 hours, it is cheer for most of us, froze, inland, and low-to-mid 40's is where women end. mid-to-upper 50's to mid-60's with hazy sunshine and poor air quality and low-to-mid 50's so reports fall in the afternoon, 5th day in a rode. if you are headed out this morning, child and low-to-mid 50's. enjoy. >> we have the possibility of black ice but no reports just yet, i want to update you on a crash off the freeway, santa rosa northbound 101 at todd road southbound traffic is fine. to the south, though, novato and lucas valley and san rafael, possibly black ice there with no report

here's all of that moisture we were talking about.wy stuff, the wintery precipitation is moving up and toward the north. that's going to impact most of the midwest and new england into the next 24 to 48 hours. for us we'll have mainly clearing skies into the evening hours. so right now our current temperatures are slowly responding to that sunshine. we will definitely see our low temperatures from this morning rise on up, although we are in the teens and 20s, we are now sitting solidly in the 30s, in fact, pushing that 40-degree mark. winchester has already made it to 41, fredricksburg has made it to 43 and the rest of our locations will follow shortly. overall, though, at reagan national airport, the skies are clearing, the winds have calmed down a bit, but we're still seeing the opportunity for some of those clouds to pass by from time to time. futurecast forecast model is going to keep us predominantly in the clear, not only for today and tonight, but into tomorrow. and let's take a look at our three-day forecast. overall it stays

looks like most of the moisture will be east of us by 9:00.udy skies with showers in the mountains and then trying to get into a little bit of clearing in spots for the afternoon. but still south and east of us at noon, southern maryland, lower eastern shore, northern neck, some lingering showers down there. showing you the forecast. it does get better but there's another system tomorrow. 42 today. the early freezing rain and rain showers, a peek of sun in the afternoon. tonight 33 in town but upper 20s north and west. we may have a few spots. tomorrow a yellow alert. a system may bring rain or snow. with temperatures in the mid- 30s, if we get any consume layings i think it will be mainly grassy surfaces, an inch or so i'm thinking right now. with the snow north and west, maybe anism or two up there. on wednesday sunny and cold. by thursday now we're talking a real cold day. breezy, too. 31 degrees. wow, it's going to be a frigid thursday. not as cold friday, 39. some showers later saturday and snow showers returning sunday, back in the upper

low humidity and dry fuel moisture level. for example, fire officials say in november in santa clara county there's been 25 vegetation fires which is above average. normally they would experience five during that time period. >> the burning conditions as far as the moistures and the fuels are at the levels that they've been at since september and october. so if we were to have a typical kind of a wintertime north wind that comes through, the potential for a large fire is definitely increased due to a lack of rainfall. >> in the south bay, reservoirs are about 34% of normal. county authorities say it's causing major problems for wildlife that rely on creeks as a source of water. while the conditions are a problem it's not necessarily to enforce mandatory water restrictions. as far as the burn ban goes it will remain in effect until there's a significant amount of rainfall. violators of the ban can face fines of about $200. reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega, ktvu news. >> thank you, janine. >>> sierra watershed sa

not much in the way of moisture. we have not heard of fog form forming. 66 in san jose. 65 in oakland. those could tight records. not so remain what as yesterday because of high clouds that dim the sunshine in the morning and afternoon hours. sue is here for leyla gulen. >> it is light. we have one incident in the dublin/pleasanton area southbound 680 north of the 580 interchange pt cruiser rear enadd big rig on -- rear ended a big rig. no delays, really, at this hour. mass transit is hook -- looking good. 30 trains are on time and bart on time. san rafael is good, tail lights headed to the golden gate bridge, all at the limit. matt and kristen? >> the family 13-year-old jahi mcmath faces another deadline today fighting to keep her on life support. she was pronounced brain dead december 12 after complications from tonsil surgery. amy hollyfield is in the newsroom with the latest? >> the hospital officials say they will shut east ventilator today at 5:00. the restraining order requiring the hospital to keep 13-year-ol

the next system does not have a lot of moisture. it still has cold air and jumping forward, tomorrow afternoon, you can see the rain and the snow around seattle and portland. snow, still, is away from the coast on friday, and notice at 1:00 o'clock in the morning we are doing okay, and 7:00 in the morning, radar runs show up and the air will be so dry most of it will evaporate from mid-morning to the afternoon is when we will see the rain roll in temperatures in the 40's and most of it will be rain but headed to 4:00 on friday and the sun angle is dropping down, you can see the radar runs increase and that means more moisture with the cold air coming in and the snow level will drop to 3,100 feet so saturday morning quote have a dusting of snow in higher elevations. on saturday we are only in the mid 40's and sunday another freeze is possible and monday and tuesday we could be back in the low-to-mid 50's well short of what we should be. a nice run of winter for seven days. >> thank you, mike. we are teaming up with the local feeding

cold air just doesn't hold as much moisture.oking at that central park temperature right now of 24, the dewpoint is at four. this is kind of typical weather. if you you look at it based on the temperature, the relative humidity is 42%. that's already low, but what we do is we take this air that's already dry, already has a low moisture content and we heat it up, because we want the indoor not to be 24 degrees, so we heat it up let's say to an indoor temperature of 70. then you take that still dewpoint at four, because we haven't added moisture to it, that brings the relative humid down to seven. a dessert can run with a relative humidity in the 20's, so we are well below dessert air in materials of being dry. breathing it in, even outside, you are bringing it into a warmer body. you can get dehydrated very quickly in the winter, because the air is so dry and moisture content just isn't there. >> that explains a whole not, nicole mitchell, thank you. >> for a second day in a row, thousands of south africans are lining up to bid f
