now, before that, scotts valley tornado, the strongest tornado in recent memory was back in 1998. and that was in sunnyvale, which was anywhere between an ef one to ef two. so when we talk about tornado strength, i think overall from looking at that video we saw tonight, the one near red bluff, at least to the northeast of red bluff, will likely come in as an ef zero, which is considered w weak, but still some damaging winds 65 to 85mph. so we may see some damage come out of this once all is said and done. the national weather service will send a team out there. otherwise, as we get a look right now at the current radar, we have some snow showers left across the sierra, so be careful on that slick travel. tonight we're dry here in the bay area, but this winter storm warning continues until 10 p.m. tonight, where we still could get wind gusts at the top ridges up to 100mph. coming up, we'll take a look at some fog as we head into tomorrow morning. i've got that full forecast coming up later on in the show. okay, we'll see y then. thank you jeff. and you can get weather updates anyt

but, i mean, you're seeing 50s in the santa cruz mountains, boulder creek, felton, scotts valley, eventa cruz at 55. that's because there's a north northeast breeze. san martin's 50 degrees, san jose 55. even santa clara 51. so there's some big difference in the temps today compared to yesterday. and there's no fog either. 30 up in truckee, 29 south lake tahoe. but it's about southern california, 62 in santa barbara and 58 san diego because they have this system digging in there, it has produced some rain. believe it or not, some of the higher elevations mojave also, big bear mountains reported some snow. so i mean, maybe they'll take that, but that's going to be the source of their wind. and once that system sets up shop, it's already developing here and it will continue to develop there. there's been some gusts about 50in some of the higher elevations. san bernardino mountains, you can see the flow around that. everything is coming in down the north. and then it's that, you know, north northeast breeze are offshore. and boy, it is looking really dry here for a while. i don't see anyt

hollister 36 morgan hill, san martin, gilroy, boulder creek, felton, scotts valley, santa clara and campbell all in there in the 30s, 20s, 30s, up in the mountains, a little bit of snow up there, not much. there's a little system clipping them right there. you see that that's going to retrograde or dig back into southern california, which should crank up the breeze for us tomorrow, especially in the hills. we'll see if that scours out the fog. but for today, you got to thha fog. there's lots of it there. but once we get through that, it'll be hazy sunshine, mostly sunny, 5060s on the temps. could be a couple of some offshore breezes for us, but wind in southern california tuesday, maybe again. thursday day we lost everything, including all my material that i had prepared for my qualifying exams for my phd program. >> students at one uc school are now out of a home new at 8:00. the high tech form of transportation that inve igators say sparked the flames. a e're j (vo) with wells fargo premier, a team can help you plan for your dreams. so your dream car, and vacation home, may be closer than

valley company, all because of a new ai app. this one comes loaded with knowledge and privacy concerns. it's going to bring in our business and tech reporter scott budman with all of that. scott. well, audrey, it's a new ai app from china to rival chatgpt. good, perhaps for the overall ai market, but bad for certain stocks, especially nvidia. the bell tolled for many american ai stocks today thanks to this. a chinese startup called deep seek an easy to use, large language ai powered app made for a lot less money than chatgpt, but also with alleged connections to the chinese government. because it's easy. it's fun, it's not heavy on their system. and this is another tiktok, meaning if you download it, don't give up your data and don't expect answers to all your questions. but there is a problem, scott. if you ask it about something related to the chinese government, it's not going to answer you. nonetheless, deep seek took over the top spot in the apple app store over the weekend, and that tanked silicon valley ai stocks monday. ai leader nvidia lost $600 billion worth of stock market value, the biggest single day market value loss in history. mi

scott budman to talk about it. good year. yeah, it really was. i mean, new year's eve. and here we are looking back on a banner year for stocks, jessica. especially stocks based here in silicon valley. not only did the broad market do very well this year, leading to gains in your 401 k, the s&p 500 index up more than 20% for the second straight year. that's pretty rare. and once again, as we mentioned, silicon valley led the way higher. ai hype. of course we talked about that all year. it was everywhere. it brought in trillions of dollars in new wealth to the stock market, leading to gains in just about all sectors of our economy. and chances are your 401 k plan, even if you're not directly invested in ai stocks, saw strong gains over the last 12 months. what we take particular pride in is that our innovation ecosystem, right. our leading tech companies have driven these tremendous gains. so it's incredibly exciting. and our region, silicon valley is really at the center of it all. good point. but let's also point out that picking stocks is dangerous even in a good year. look, chips were everywhere this year building for ai in our smartphones. biggest gainer of the year nvidia a hu

valley at that time leaned left. no surprise oracle is involved in this data center deal. he also has a very close friendship with elon musk, scott. >> seema, thank you. we see that stock, and we can take a look once more, shares of oracle spiking on the news. we will see what happens with this announcement a little later this afternoon, as i said, expected in "overtime." that's the highs of the high, oracle shares up 7.25%. back to both of you with me. this trade, we're going to get earnings next week of these large cap tech companies. is that where the rubber meets the road on what the real staying power of this rally is, when you get the mega caps starting to report? >> not necessarily. i mean, most of the megacap names are forecast to report somewhere between 15% to 20% earnings growth for the next several quarters. maybe that doesn't sound impressive versus what we've got in 2024. but the other reason i say i don't think the linchpin is big tech companies because the rest are supposed to scale up to about 15%. so it's been a great start to the reporting season, i would say it's very strong. you've got 79% of companies that a
