saturday on futurecast with the first showers moving into the north bay before sunrise tomorrow and the rain spreading out across more of the bay area, especially with the heaviest rain falling friday night into the first half of saturday. this is the first atmospheric river and the first peak of a double peaked atmospheric river that's going to be heading our way. i do want to show you the amounts we expect with the first peak of the atmospheric river. for most locations around the bay area, between 1 to 2 inches of total rainfall, but the north bay between 2 to 2 1/2 inches of rain with the first wave moving in tomorrow and saturday. let's look at the atmospheric riverside of this. the first peak would rank as an ar2 on the 1 to 5 scale, which is a relatively weak atmospheric river, but it's going to be followed up almost immediately by the second peak in this atmospheric river which by itself would be an ar1 on the 1 to 5 schedule. you combine these. it's going to be an ar3. we can't rule out flooding, but it doesn't look like a significant flooding threat with this system. we'll talk more about those threats coming up in the ful

now it is widespread really just north of the bay area itself. we zoom in on the bay. you can see the areas like santa rosa are just now getting in the mix. as far as that rainfall is concerned. further south, nothing yet. it will take a few more hours to reach the rest of the bay area. up north, though, that's where rainfall is concentrated. santa rosa northward at this point, santa rosa, really just seeing a couple sprinkles at this point. our heaviest of rainfall will be in the north coast and snowfall is only going to increase, especially into next week. but look at how high up in elevation. all these advisories are are advisories in blue. are winter storm warnings in red? that's because this is an atmospheric river type storm and snow level is actually going to be really high in elevation over the weekend. it is a good rainmaker, though. and the timing of the rain today, he's going to a%rive for most of the bay area just a little bit later on for the north bay. we'll still see those off and on showers this morning. by the time we reach 09:00am heavy rainfall for pa

toll authority says we believe it's vital that the the bay area toll authority uses the bridge tolls. we administer we're committed to full transparency and look forward to working with our bay area legislators and the state and any study that may be requested. >> dan kerman kron, 4 news. graduate. >> the san francisco fire department will soon have a new chief. daniel, let lurie. the new mayor has kept a battalion chief dean, chris, but to take over that role, he is a san francisco native with 34 years of service chief chris penn spoke earlier today sharing his goals for the department. >> my goal for this department is to ensure it remains in touch with the community. it serves. department members must concern themselves, not just with the beauty of the fire engine or ambulance, but the beauty and health of the neighborhood. i will ask our members to engage with the public to form bonds that will move our city forward. >> chrisman replaces sandy tong who has been filling in as interim chief since september chrisman will spend the next few weeks transitioning into his new role

mainly clear skies around the bay area as that wind advisory goes into effect. we're talking about the hills of the north bay, east bay, diablo range and the santa cruz mountains. could see wind gusts just before and after sunrise tomorrow, about 45mph, and the wind direction is dry and offshore. and you'll notice the peak wind speeds around 5 a.m. on the higher hills there of napa county and throughout solano county, as well the inland east bay valleys from about 5 a.m. to noon tomorrow, and then by tuesday evening and wednesday night, those wind speeds do start to come down. so the culprit for this high pressure to the west, strong low pressure there east of southern california, where there's the potential of damaging wind gusts there near la and orange counties. this pattern relaxes as we get into wednesday and thursday, but notice what's missing in the forecast here. high pressure holding on. no signs of rain over the next few days. now stay tuned. we'll let you know what the impacts are on your temperatures and when the next rain chances may materialize. com

we'll see a mix of se 30s and 40s across the bay area. that will get us down to 40 here in the south bay, up to the north bay. we'll be right there at 37, san francisco 44. and as we move through tomorrow afternoon, lots of 60s here across the bay area. so i think overall here across the bay area, it's going to be a nice afternoon on your tuesday forecast. it will leave us with 63 in san jose right here across the east bay. we're coming in with 64 in walnut creek, 62 in fremont out to daly city, 60 down to palo alto, 63, san francisco, 59 in the marina and 60 in the ingleside. up here to the north bay, 64 in santa rosa. rainfall chances still no good news on this front. january can be one of our most active months, but this area of high pressure. this is the main reason we'll stay rain free from any big storms. as everything goes way up towards alaska and canada, it looks to be situated here through the next ten days, so we may not get into larger rain chances until early february. right thehere in th 7-day forecast. we'll keep it dry this

for us in the bay area, there is open area just off the california coast, that smoke is going to rotate around the area of low pressure and it might be impacting the southernmost parts of the bay area. that is going to be the only impact from the wildfires in southern california, and a northerly wind will pick up by as soon as later this afternoon and evening, it is going to usher all the smoke out of the way. but the reason it is even happening in the first place is because as the wind goes down the mountain, it gets compressed, it dries out even more and goes through another set of mountains coming out the other side, even drier and creating the santa ana wind event. i will break down when that will arrive coming up in my full forecast. >>> let's take a look at the roadways right now, a look at the bay bridge, metering lights are on and it is busy, friday got a lot busier in that commute to san francisco. we are getting word of an upper accident on the bay bridge, that is why we see those backups there, southbound 880, the earlier one on the industrial is clear and it is a slow crawl

notably. >> still a very slight offshore breeze moving its way into the bay area. s gusting as max at 15 miles per hour in the bay today. so pretty calm not for southern california. still under red flag warning in a fire weather warning likely through the middle of the day tomorrow. critical fire danger. absolutely does still remain as this offshore wind pushes on into the southern part of the state, especially for those mountain sides where the santa ana's tend to accelerate high pressure. ridge is in place. it is a blocking high and it is persistent not wanting to be budged. and with that a dry in many cases, a lot of models are showing the rest of the month. nothing coming our way this week. that's for sure. as for temperatures, we are inhthe 60's yet again today. couple of 50's mixed in out along the coastline. all in all, we are still a little bit above our seasonal average is not as much as we were last week, but still very comfortable, especially with all that sunshine and relatively calm winds adds up to a as and forecast san jose at 66 today, union city 62

for most of the bay area. really, we will be out of the woods in terms of any wind threats and once we get past tomorrow morning. still breezy day, but not as gusty as the winds and what we would have today. plenty of rain over the past six or seven weeks because we won't see any over the next couple of weeks likely. the next seven days, the rain chances will be at zero across the bay area. it's likely that those rain chances will be near zero for the next two weeks, taking us through the weekend. i'll show you the two-week outlook coming up. right now, the cameras are jiggering around a little bit. temperatures mostly in the low to mid-60s. and it is dipping down to the upper 50s at concord. that's unusually warm for this time of the year with an adoptable dog for tomorrow. once the wind advisory expires tomorrow morning if you have room in your home to give them a forever family. they will still have some substantial numbers below normal. 5 to 7 degrees above average. the mostly in the low to mid-70s with the

it's not a lot of rain, but moisture is appreciated again for the bay area. not a lot of anything. in fact, you'll be lucky if you see a single sprinkle we're at in the bay definitely drier than average conditions still trending for much of northern california. southern california. after that rain looks to be drying back out to we do have red flag warning still in effect for southern california. winds will pick up a little bit this afternoon into tomorrow. so that is still a concern for our neighbors down towards la and san diego. not as much of a concern is the past couple of days work 60's for your daytime highs back in the bay area today. we are definitely going to be mild again yesterday. mlk day. both were beautiful afternoons and today is going to measure up to that same standard redwood city at 64 south bay temps. look at that near 70 in san jose milpitas in santa clara. each at 68 degrees not far behind that union city in fremont, oakland, you'll be at 64. today was berkeley at 66 north bay. temperatures as warm as the low 70's and part of wine country nevado at 67. looking

super bowl 60 is coming to the bay area next year. and if you want your business to get in on all of the action, the time to come up with a plan is now. the bay area host committee is working with the nfl and san francisco 49ers to make sure that local businesses get a chance to secure some of the work that's going on and what's going to happen now. there will be multiple contracts covering everything from food and beverage. then there's construction and maintenance, event promotion and support, as well as security and transportation. the nfl and its tier one vendors want to hire local businesses as subcontractors for all of the events that are going to be in the bay area in february 2026. typically, those events start whenen the teams arrive the suny prior to the super bowl. super bowl 60 source program is taking applications from businesses based in the bay area and the nine counties here, plus sacramento and yolo counties. now they are looking for businesses that are 51% diversely owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with di

many of them here in the bay area. in tonight's bay area. proud. introduce you to one group using compassion and experience to help. having been in the real estate business for more than 20 years. ginger faith knows how wonderful owning a home can be. but she now also knows how devastating it can be to lose one. this is the altadena home of ginger's close friend, burning in the eaton fire. all you can do in that situation is say, what can i do? like i don't even know what to say. what can i do? hey. good morning. this is ginger. what ginger did was reach out to her livermore community asking for donations to help her friend. but so many wanted to help in so many goods pourered in that ginr ended up with enough to help. many fire victims. snowballed? yeah. it snowballed. she filled two u-hauls with supplies and drove them down to la. take a look at this. all of these people here are going to be helping us unload the experience. so moved. ginger. she wanted to do more but wasn't sure how. so she turned to someone who did know how. because he's done i

here's what's happening in the bay area. minor coastal flooding is possible through noon today and that flooding is due to high tides, which will be about 8.35. for this morning basically and we areas maybe around the coastline of the bay shoreline, possibly some low lying roads, you know, parks parking lots, places like that. so that's a minor concern. also wind advisory that's in effect through tomorrow morning for gusty winds. 20 to 30 up to 50 in some of the hills. in fact, when this first went into effect, that advisory, we had 54 mile an hour winds at 10 minutes later around healdsburg offshore flow continues throughout the weekend with periods of strong wind. get clear, dry weather and some very cool mornings. so here's the area of the flood advisory. you see right ringing the entire san francisco in san pablo bays heading up into sonoma county. parts of napa county and even marin county high wind advisory. you bet that's in effect for parts of the north bay, the east bay hills, santa clara hills, and also right throug

always a little more expensive in the bay area. scott. you're right. audrey. a lot of this comes down to how many rental units are being built. the more you build, the lower rents go. but here in the bay area, prices have stayed high. first, the good news across the country, the amount of money you need to make to afford to rent an apartment is down to about $63,000 on average. but and you knew this was coming in silicon valley, that number is doubled. according to housing tracker redfin, you need 127,000 in salary to afford a typical one bedroom place. a tough pill to swallow for anyone trying to make it in the bay. especially hard for younger people. it doesn't seem easy, for sure. i don't think that a lot of my friends and i can afford even like thinking of owning a home right now. it's the bay area's relatively high salaries and low housing inventory, keeping rents persistently higher than most of the country. that big gap exists because the bay area hasn't done a great job of building housing for the middle earner. they have tended to focus more on those h

a heavy dose of the bay area is in washington. high profile local republicans are in d.c. to celebrateehe trump inauguration and returning from the front lines were there as bay area fire crews come home. we'll also be joined by the north bay man, who created the wildly popular watch duty app, which is becoming a lifeline for people in fire zones. good evening. this is nbc bay area news tonight. i'm raj mathai. we are heading into one of the most significant weekends of the year, the inauguration of president elect donald trump. is this the beginning of a republican wave of california politics? we'll go to washington, d.c. in just a few minutes. let's start, though, with the legal bombshell for oakland's former mayor. sheng thao. today, federal prosecutors unsealed an eight count indictment against thao and her boyfriend, andre jones. there's tao this morning. also in this indictment, two members of the duong family, the duong's, are a powerful east bay family that own multiple businesses, including a prefab housing company and a recycling company contracted by the city of

trace amounts in the south bay to about a half inch in san francisco, a half to one inch up towards the north bay. saturday is the day where this atmospheric river lines up towards the bay areawhen we'll get in on some of the higher totals. we'll have to watch out for maybe some isolated street flooding one to about one and a half, san francisco to oakland, 1 to 1 and a half. north bay, lesser amounts in the south bay, a 2:45 quarters of an inch sunday would offer more rain, but really low totals. san francisco southward, it'd be the north b with about a half to another one inch. so the big target will be marin, napa, sonoma counties with this. so i wanted to show you how the russian river in guerneville is going to fare. right now it's right around eight feet, but it does look like by sunday night and into monday could get up to about 20ft, not flood stage, which is 32, but we'd see additional rain next tuesday and that could get it even closer to flood stage. so this is one to watch. and if you're headed up to the sierra, wanted to get this warning out here 1 to 2ft over the past level. so be careful saturday and sunday on the 7-day forecast. you see it right here. those o

lawmakers. >> we are tracking the first effects the bay area could feel the significance of the president sharing the spotlight with silicon valley tech titans and the gesture by one of them stirring controversy tonight. >> starting today, america will be stronger and greater than it's ever been before. >> from the parties to the protests and the policies that will impact the bay area. our team coverage of the second inauguration of donald trump begins now. >> and good evening. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. we have a lot to get to tonight, of course, but we're going to begin with the scene in washington, d.c, as people arrested for the january 6th attack on the capitol begin to be released. >> new at 11, a crowd is gathering outside of the d.c. jail tonight, anticipating the release of some convicted with crimes related to the january 6th capitol riot. in one of his most controversial day one decisions, president trump is pardoning nearly all of them. and tonight, the white house says the first two are free. >> we hope they get them. we hope

the bay. you can see just how much calmer we are today. i mean i'd from the delta bay area's looking really nice and calm. there's that low sitting across the southwest slowly exiting the region. we will have a brief reprieve in winds towards the weekend for southern california. but it does look like the that especially monday into next week, another offshore wind could kick into gear monday night and this could cause devastating winds yet again for southern california. neighbors. we'll be keeping a very close eye on that 60's for your daytime highs in the city as well as out along the coastline. very similar forecast test yesterday, south san francisco, san bruno, bill bay in the mid 60's for your daytime highs nearing 70 in palo alto at 67 getting to 70 in san jose, santa clara and milpitas. these could be potentially record-breaking warm numbers across the bay area today. we have been shedding a few records the past few days and today, no different with just how warm it will be for january fairfield, napa yacht bill vacaville all into the low 70's this afternoon. a look ah

the blue area is covered by the frost advisory in those areas, the north bay interior valleys, the eastbay hills and interior valleys, the bay shoreline, the santa cruz mountains, and much of the peninsula. those areas covered by the frost advisory will see temperatures dropping down to about 32 degrees. the darker area here, that's the frost. the freeze warning covers the santa clara valley and the east santa clara hills. temperatures will drop down to about 28 degrees in the coldest locations covered by the freeze warning. so looking at overnight lows right here, you can see that almost no area will have low temperatures above 39 degrees except san rafael, a low of 40, and san francisco and expected low of 41. tomorrow's highs not very high at all. we'll have sunny skies, but highs in the afternoon will reach maybe 60 degrees at san rafael, napa, vallejo, concord, oakland, san mateo, livermore, all over, and fairfield, possibly 62. all other areas will have high temperatures under 60 degrees. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. as you can see, we have several sunny days coming

so a lot of progress here in the bay area. fundraisers are underway to help those wildfire victims in mill valley. today. piazza dangelo is hosting a fundraiser. the owners say all profits go to charity, supported fire victims. the restaurant offers special cocktails and dishes as well. this is all happening today again at piazza to angelo in mill valley. a parent company nexstar media group is partnering with the red cross to raise money for wildfire victims. you can scan the qr code on your screen to help. with no medical center in san jose sending a dozen nurses spoke was hospital in 1000 oaks to help out. it's part of a broader effort by hca healthcare to provide relief. the additional nurses help ensure patient care continues while allowing hospital staff in los angeles county to focus on their families and recovery arms. the officials say this collaborative effort highlights the resilience of health care workers in times of crisis. and nurses in the bay area are joining a nationwide march in support of safe staffing and p

kari has been keeping tabs on when it's going to hit the bay area and where. yeah, we are already seeing this rain moving into the north bay, so we are going to see the showers continuing to fill in across the bay area over the next couple of hours. it is pouring in some parts of far northern california and as it goes up in elevation, it's changing over to snow. so here's a look at what we're seeing on storm ranger. a closer look at the bay area with some pockets of heavy rain moving into santa rosa, where you see the yellows and the red that's heavier rain, and you have access to the same tool on your smartphone. if you have the nbc bay area app, you can zoom in to your location. and also, you've probably already gotten the alerts that the rain is moving in. we are going to see this continuing to move in by this afternoon. back to you. all right. thanks, gary. well, this morning, recovery efforts are set to resume in the potomac river. we have a live look from reagan national airport this morning. as crews look for the cause of the midair collision that killed

now we're talking about some wind here in the bay area. lots of sunshine for your saturday and sunday. our dry stretch continues and a wind advisory begins at midnight all the way until 10:00 sunday morning for the north bay hills out towards solano county and the higher, higher elevations of the east bay and the santa cruz mountains. winds could be over 40 miles an hour moving in from the north. here's a satellite where you can see some high clouds moving into northern california. we also have some low clouds near portions of our coastline right now. a current look at the wind speeds right now. not too bad, but these numbers will be going up into your saturday forecast. sfo a westerly breeze at about 13 miles an hour and current numbers most areas in the 50s. here is our live camera looking out toward the golden gate bridge. so a chilly morning. definitely want to bundle up. temperatures in the 30s and the 40s. and here's a look at the overall weather pattern. this guy will be the source of those winds here in the bay area for your saturda

the south bay. all of the east bay, essentially away from the water. down the peninsula as well. and up into the north bay. we'll zoom in on the areas that will see the coldest temperatures. the areas here in purple, much of the lower elevations of sonoma county, marin county and napa county will see temperatures tomorrow morning in the upper 20s to low 30s. that's from midnight to about 10 a.m. tomorrow, so bundle up as you head outside. it's going to hit you in the face as you head outside of those temperatures, dropping into the 20s and low 30s areas that might have their sprinklers run at night. be careful. that could be icy in the morning. now, by lunchtime, with the sunny skies, temperatures recover pretty well. we climb back into the low 60s around san jose and likely mid to upper 60s around downtown san jose, and even some 60s closer to san francisco and oakland. but as we talked about weekend changes just around the corner, cooler and breezy and even a chance we may begin to see some showers entering the forecast and perhaps much needed rain for southern california coming up tonight at five. jeff, we have a full look at the

so first showers move into the north bay overnight before the sun comes up tomorrow, but that rain spreads southward across the rest of the bay area. this will come at us in waves. we're talking about a generally wet day tomorrow and the heaviest rain is likely to fall tomorrow night into saturday as this first peak of a double-peaked atmospheric river will head our way. let's look at the flood watch in effect. this goes into effect at noon tomorrow through 10:00 p.m. sunday, but, again, it is friday night and saturday time frame when some of the heaviest rain will fall. the flood watch is not a flash flood watch. that's worse. flood watch means flood prone areas, low lying spots, streams, creeks, low lying intersections, may be collecting water the next couple days. rainfall amounts just through saturday will range from less than an inch of total rainfall in san jose, but that's not bad for the rain shadow of the santa cruz mountains to generally 1 to 2 inches for most of the bay with the heftiest amounts in the north bay, between 2 to 2 1/2 inches of rain over the next couple of days. we are not done with the rain at that point

>> we are likely to see rain in parts of the bay area this weekend, a better chance for the entire bay area just beyond the scope of the seven-day forecast, but things are trending in a better direction to get some much needed rainfall as we head into early february. let's look at futurecast, big picture perspective, thursday through wednesday next week, and a parade of systems will send a good chance of showers to the north coast, heavier rainfall there, with rain and snow making its way into the pacific northwest. in terms of the area of wide rain, likely tuesday and wednesday next week for the entire bay area to get in on the action. we'll take a closer look momentarily. first, let's look outside and see what we're dealing with this monday evening, nice start to the workweek today and still clear skies now, better air quality thanks to the change in air mass that kicked in over the weekend of temperatures now, 50s and 60s, 55 degrees in san francisco to 60 degrees in concord, san jose, and santa rosa, but with clear skies and light winds and a light offshore wind pushing the marine

sunday's forecast, we're looking at about a 12:45 inch in the north bay and a quarter to half inch here for a lot of the other parts of the bay area. and the totals off to the north have also lowered a little bit today, but still very high over four inches in redding. and again, that's because that rain line has moved closer towards the bay area. so we have on and off rain chances starting friday through next wednesday's forecast. we're going to take a look at the sierra snow coming out of this. also, what's happening on the russian river. that's always a great indicator of how our creek, streams and rivers are going. and again, i'll have that for you at 530 tonight. review of your forecast. much needed. yes, yes, jeff, thank you very much. coming up, google is changing the way the u.s. is classified on its maps, what i'm not happy with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be abl

we'll level off in the 40s pretty much across the entire bay area. temperatures tomorrow, a very well stirred air mass, not a lot of variation in temperatures, 67 the warm spot in san jose, 62, one of the cool spots in pacifica, also bodega bay 62, all these numbers running 5 to 8 degrees above average for mid-january. temperatures do change a little bit in the seven-day forecast. there is a gradual return to near normal, but it basically takes the entire seven-day forecast to get back to near average temperatures a week from today. a little more cloud cover a week from today, but otherwise lots of sunshine. >> thanks so much. >>> coming up, a bay area food bank answer be the call for help, the shipment now >>> amid the destruction of these l.a. wildfires, donations are pouring in from those looking to help the community. so this is one of the pop-up donation sites at the rose bowl stadium in pasadena where people have brought in clothes, food, water and other essentials for those impacted by the fires. neighbors say they're giving whatever they can t

you can see rain still passing through the bay area. riday we had wet weather bringing some danger to the north bay today. video into the newsroom shows the aftermath. two trees fell onto homes crushing a car in sonoma county. this happened at a house near guerneville. homeowner says the tree damaged two bedrooms. luckily, no one was hurt. the trees also damaged a nearby power pole. although no outages are being reported on pg&e website at this point. meteorologist jeff ranieri joins us. jeff, are we done with this? is there more on the way? this thing is out of here. so we are looking good here tonight. if you're doing any traveling out here across the bay area, as you'll see on this loop. there we go. right there, the storm system. and now that's pushing well off to the south and also to the east of us. so as we take you in out here across the bay area, no consistent rainfall, a little bit of moisture that could cause some drizzle later on tonight with some fog. winds generally also calming down. just a wind out of the west here at 17

we do have frost advisories for most of the bay area in this lighter color. n see in the darker blue, a freeze warning down in the santa clara valley, always in effect through 09:00am this morning chilly for the bay cold enough that it could snow if we had any of that and you got the snow up in the sierra this weekend. still under a winter weather advisory in the southern sierra southeast, 70 until 04:00pm. so we're still definitely in the midst of that. in fact, a the grapevine does have snow on it this morning. and that is complicating travel over. i-5 down towards l a la saw some of the first rain of the season over the weekend was welcome for them here in the bay. it was a few light sprinkles. we have another storm system making its way our direction. but this one is going to be total opposite of the one we saw over the weekend having most of its impact north of the bay area, the north bay over the weekend, we'll see some decent shower activity will of the rest of us further southward might not get much of anything as we're right on the cusp of this activi

as to how the bay area scene influenced metallica's music? ay area scene was welcoming and accepting of people that maybe were a little bit creatively below the radar and not following any particular trend and one of the things with bay area thrash metal was it was very centric to that area and that region. >> reporter: this year metallica is competing against spirit box, a canadian heavy metal band. if spirit box wins, its lead vocalist, courtney la plant, will be the first woman to ever win best metal performance. we asked robert what's that say about metal music, which historically has been so male-dominated? >> i can't wait to hear your answer on that. >> well, no. i think it's important that, you know, women need to be recognized with their metal, too. >> reporter: robert said he hopes she wins, but win or lose, getting the nomination always strikes the right chord. >> it's going to be a good show. you can watch the grammys live here on cbs news bay area at 5:00 p.m. sunday on kpix or streaming on paramount+. >>> join us at cbs news bay a

it ranks the hottest housing markets in the nation, and the bay area came in at the bottom. nbc bay area's ian cull joins us now to explain why we showed up so low on this list. when ian, it seems like housing is always in demand here. so what's going on? it certainly is always competitive to when you're trying to buy a home. and this report from zillow actually focuses on the most competitive housing markets with a few key criteria. it looks at zillow's forecast for local home value growth and how quickly homes are selling. it also considers job growth per new home permitted. buffalo, new york was number one on list. indianapolis wa second, so it's largely job growth and home affordability driving the ranking. san francisco and san jose came in at the bottom of the 50 major metro areas. that's because zillow forecasts our area will see relatively slow job growth and home prices, staying flat in san jose and actually dropping by just under 2% in the cy. and so as housing demand has cooled over the past year, inventory has increased in homes, especially in san francisco, are s

the dangerous fire conditions. they prepositioned in vulnerable areas like the topanga canyon just west of the palisades fire and fire crews from the bay area have joined the firefight. this is video from napa's fire department. they helped hose down a home completely engulfed in flames. laura hey haefeli is live for us now. >> reporter: i'm in palisades village along sunset boulevard, massive amounts of devastation here in what's the heartbeat of this community, the buildings behind me that have been destroyed, mostly commercial buildings. we have banks, restaurants, a grocery store all gone and, of course, residents have been destroyed as well, so a really heartbreaking scene, but as you said, neighbors coming together to support each other with basic necessities. tons of volunteers and donations have been made to support people who have lost everything. >> what are you seeing as far as the air quality? >> reporter: the air quality is not good right now for several reasons. first of all, a lot of the buildings that were destroyed again were commercial buildings which means you're talking about septic tanks that have been destroyed. y

that moisture headed toward the bay area. so we're going to get a good soaking here as we head throughout the weekend. tomorrow, the storm system moves in that rain spreading the south throughout the day. so as we head into the evening hours, some heavier amounts of rain begin to move in. i think saturday, though, you can see kind of the lineup here. the storm begins to move perpendicular to the coastline. that means once you get started, it just doesn't stop. it just keeps going all day long. i think that ban lifts a little bit on sunday with the main focus really in the north bay. just a few scattered showers in the south bay. but then it comes rolling back in for everybody as we head in toward monday and tuesday with more heavy rainfall possible that scattered showers behind that. so well, it just keeps going. that's just amazing. was so quiet. all of january. now, here we go as we get toward the end of january, beginning of february and everything changes, national weather service has issued a flood watch is now for the en

the bay area toll authority says the money goes into maintaining all bay area bridges except for the golden gate. officials say the tolls also paying for operations and even to support and expand public transit. however, senator dave cortese says he wants to know what happens to the money once the agency sees a surplus. >> i think part of the issue what you do, the maintenance and there's a surplus of preschool money which are typically is or understanding. then what? where does that money go? and how's it? the port it utilize stores. it, you know, maybe there should be a philosophy that if there's a surplus if you do the game, that's that you do it. a total reduction. >> cortez, he is calling on other senators to order an audit of tolls collected in response to the bay area. toll authority says it is committed to full transparency and looks forward to working with legislators on any study that is requested. >> let's get a check of the guys. yeah, little change in the weather around the bay area today and may have noticed couple clouds begin to creep in late in the a ternoon. the ons

but what are we looking at when it comes to the bay area numbers? let's bring in our business and tech reporter scott budman. okay, scott, what's it looking like? what are the numbers? yeah, audrey, as you can imagine, the bay area numbers are higher than the national numbers. in fact, about twice as high. good news, national number. and this is a number from redfin. they track housing and they s you typically need about $63,000 a year in income. if you want to rent a typical one bedroom apartment that literally doubles here in silicon valley, about 126,000. the interesting thing about the cost coming down is it shows while income is remaining steady and wages even rising a bit. we talk about that a lot. there is at least more inventory when it comes to apartments. so many cities, including here in the bay area, have been adding more apartments and condos and places to rent, and that, because of supply and demand, eventually lowers the cost. so it has stayed steady to a little bit lower in the entire nation, including in the bay area. but because of

the coast, half moon bay, one of the models saying a 43-mile-an-hour peak gust. this is strong enough the wind advisory has been expanded to include more of the bay area. sically all of the bay area except the santa clara valley now under the wind advisory that goes all the way through 10:00 wednesday morning. we're going to see the gustiest winds developing late tonight and into tomorrow morning with the peak winds occurring by late tomorrow afternoon and into tomorrow morning. as the winds pick up tonight, it's going to help disperse the fog out there pushing it offshore and the fog should be gone within the next few hours. it's still clinging to parts of the bay area at the moment. that's temporary. once the fog does burn off, we'll see temperatures warming up. offshore winds are a direction that's associated with temperatures that are usually above average. we'll see temperatures reaching about 8 to 10 degrees above normal, into the mid-60s in the north bay and around the bay in san francisco and oakland. one of the cool spots will be livermore at 63 degrees, still way above normal, 68 degrees for the warmest location in san jose, so only a 5-degree

gusts as high as 70 miles per hour to parts of los angeles and ventura counties. >>> back here in the bay area, we had to worry about strong winds around the interior mountains of the north bay. they were on alert in parts of sonoma and napa county. zoe mintz is here with us. some good news for our area, but when we're talking about southern california, fingers are crossed. tuesday night is the real tough night, right? >> yes. tomorrow night into early wednesday is where all eyes will be focused on southern california. in the bay area a wind advisory was supposed to be in effect through tomorrow morning, but we've already expired it. so it's quiet for us, southern california not so lucky. hopefully, they'll be on the trend of quieter wind, but now, unfortunately, they are still seeing quite gusty winds, especially on top of the mountains around los angeles. they'll only get gustier overnight tonight and into tomorrow when we can expect 50 to 60 plus-mile-an-hour wind gusts, especially on the mountains and only getting windier and windier late tuesday into early wednesday and then another round

and we're gonna start to talk about some possible rainfall here in the bay area trough. you're traveling around the state to find a mixed bag. we've got some cooler 50's in toward the monterey bay. 59 in santa barbara should be about 60. by the time you make your way into san diego and 60. also in sacramento, 59 into fresno should be mostly dry around the state for tomorrow. yeah, the forecast looking good here. i think as we head out over the next couple of days, don, look bad at all. in fact, tomorrow you'll see a lot of sunshine coming your way. the temperatures cool to mild around the bay area. some clouds do begin to gather as we head in toward wednesday. in fact, some patchy fog. i'm going to be slowly giving away. then by late thursday, the clouds thickening up a little bit as we get into friday. i think that's our next best chance of rain. looks like the best chance gonna be moving north of the golden gate bridge. right now that looks to be the focus so far. we're going to fine tune that forecast. we get a little bit closer but looks like some rain finally make a

just south of the bay area. the urgent message to local residents and the concerns over air quality, plus possible school closures. the rally. parents in the south bay are set to take part in as many continue to fight to save their schools. also, a new threat emerging in southern california's fire zone. the landslide caught on camera as some evacuation orders are lifted for the first time since those flames broke out last week. this is today in the bay. good morning to you. othis friday, i'm marcus washington and i'm laura garcia. we're going to look at that morning commute. cynthia is in for mike this morning. morning. yeah. nice to see you. got a look at that forecast. and we're starting out cold once again. not only are weeeing patchy frost, but we also have fog once again. so there's a frost advisory in effect for parts of the santa cruz mountains down to santa clara valley, much of the east bay away from the inner bay. and then for the north bay. we are starting out with some frosty conditions in the north b

the first rainmaker for the bay area of 2025 is now moving out. lso starting to push further east. the first rainmaker for the bay area, first significant snow of 2025 for the sierra also produced the first tornado of the year and it happened in fortunately mostly open terrain in shasta county. the winter storm warning continues another two hours. let's see if we can get the warnings to pop up. there they are, the winter storm warning in pink and the winter weather advisory in purple, at lake level, winter storm warning for the higher elevations. they'll only add another couple inches of snow, but it's a combination of snow and wind and the existing slippery road conditions that's causing some big headaches. around the bay area, just the potential for a couple additional showers as we head through the rest of this evening. they'll be very few and far between. they're almost nonexistent now. this is the current view on first alert doppler which shows one little radar freckle here in the higher elevations of coastal marin county. otherwise we're rain

there clears can be around the bay area. ttle hazy, though, in spots just because high pressure overhead, some of the plude's building up temperatures generally in the 50's around the bay area. now, i think as we head through the day tomorrow, we're going to see a change in the weather pattern. some low clouds and to creep closer the coastline and by the afternoon, all of a sudden we start talking about some of that patchy fog moving on in. so that'll help to cool down the temperatures near the beaches overnight lows tonight. yeah, it's going to be chilly tonight. overnight lows in the 30's and the 40's. so cold night around parts of the bay area. by day tomorrow, europe again well into the 60's in the south bay, almost 70 degrees in san jose about 65 in hayward. and 64 degrees in the battle. looks like the next couple of days. we're going to keep things dry as can be. in fact, as we head toward the weekend, just some partly cloudy skies, but staying dry for at least the next 7 days. all right, lawrence. well, a last ditch ef

the north bay. this is a similar setup that we had back in december, where the north bay got all the rain. the rest of the bay area was very dry. it looks like we could see that once again with a quarter inch of rain or less from san francisco on southward. but the pinks, the whites, that's just off the charts there. with the rainfall, we may possibly see anywhere from 3 to 6in of rainfall from santa rosa on northward. that willlso bring in more sierra snow for the northernierra. the southern sierra needs a lot of work to catch up to normal. it looks like we're going to also see some additional snowfall into the weekend, with anywhere from about four to possibly 15in of snow. kingvale getting some of the higher snowfall totals. so we are going to see things change over the next few days, but at least for at least today through thursday, we're sunny with more of the same temperatures. marcus and laura. all right, kari, thank you. happening now. san francisco civic centers recently opened un skate plaza, already getting an upgrade. it's only been open a little more than a year. well, now the city will expand it to i

we are talking about some widespread 30s here across the bay area, so plan to have that heaviest jacket out tomorrow morning. inland valleys of the north bay. east bay, south bay included in that frost advisory temperatures ranging 33 to 39 degrees. and don't forget to bring those pets inside. so let's move into what we can expect. and you'll see more than not will be in the 30s here through the bay area, 38 for the south bay average of 39. peninsula tri-valley down to 35 degrees. also looking at some of those mid 30s in the north bay, san francisco, the one spot with an average here in the low 40s, and the east bay right here at 37. so the chance of some patchy frost as you wake up tomorrow morning on some of the rooftops and also the lawns. then by the afternoon we'll be able to thaw out, so to speak. we've got some mid 60s down here across the south bay over to the east bay. 61 martinez 63, in hayward out to concord, 62 as we move it through the peninsula, 60 in daly city down to palo alto, 63 san francisco staying in the 50s across the marina, then down here to the mission, 62 degre
