those are 50 plus-mile-per-hour winds and we could see that across the bay area, especially in the hills today. it's going to continue to be gusty, even into this evening as some of those wind gusts for half moon bay and san francisco could top 60 miles per hour. we're also going to see that in the north bay where we find pete suratos live with a look at more of the impacts of the strong winds. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you. you mentioned winds are the big story today. we know they can reach potentially 40 miles per hour in some of the higher elevations in the north bay and that's on top of the cooler temperatures we'll see in the region. we know that the county, of course, is keeping a close eye on this. we spoke with the marin county office of emergency management. they are familiar with a lot of these weather conditions, these weather events, considering what happened back in january with the series of storms. now, they're watching closely the cold temperatures, the strong winds, as you mentioned there, but they're not anticipating, at least now, as much damage as we've seen

about 3,300 in the south bay, another 1,300 in the north bay. ng the peninsula and few along the east bay. >> still cold out there. >> still cold and it's going to get windy again. we could see that number going up again today, especially for the peninsula. and we're also going to see the waves of rain coming in, already hitting the north bay. that's going to spread into the rest of the bay area by late morning, possibly some thunderstorms, and as we mentioned, there's going to be snow on our upper elevations around the bay area. >> sadly, we still have this crash closure here for vasco road. the reason for that, as we've been talking about all morning, a deadly head-on crash involving a big rig. the larger vehicle has to be removed from the roadway and i haven't heard whether the coroner has arrived on scene. i don't think they can clear the vehicles until the report is complete. we'll continue to follow that. a lighter commute around most of the bay but it is seeing more traffic hitting highway 4 at the top of the screen as that is the longer r

even higher amounts around the edges of the bay area, maybe some accumulation around the east bay hillsvel on california 24 through the caldecott tunnel, there will be a layer of flakes on the ground, but higher amounts through the north bay mountains as well. so all the highways through the higher elevations, you want to avoid those. for most of the bay area, anywhere from a half inch to over an inch of rain. a lot of that aimed at the southern end of the bay area , just where the second round of moisture will be aimed on friday night into early saturday. it will also be called. temperatures tonight dropping down into the 30s areawide. even downtown san francisco dipping down into the upper 30s for low temperatures. you want to get your dogs out for a walk tomorrow, pickle and lilac won't have a lot of sunshine to bask in tomorrow, but still, where the pups out tomorrow. it will still be cold and breezy. temperatures will not warm up very much. only upper 40s to around 50 degrees for highs thursday afternoon. our temperatures don't warm up very much through the entirety of the seven-da
