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

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

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

we're watching in the bay area tonight across some of the north bay hills. as you're about to see, gusts tonight could be above 50mph. we're seeing that right now close to mount saint helena, 49 degrees in san jose. not much wind. eventually, we'll see lows dropping closer to 40 around san jose. and it's already 40 degrees in dublin. this is one of the locations over the next few nights and mornings, could be waking up to some patchy frost and temperatures in the 30s. 48 degrees in san rafael. not much wind there or in san francisco as you can see. if the mirror like reflection off the bay pretty view, 51 degrees, fog and cloud fre for now. and look how chilly temperatures have dropped. napa and danville into the 30s. we've had the dry offshore wind last couple of days. again, it's the moisture and the clouds that are in the air at night, which kind of act like a blanket. they kindf keep the temperatures up. you take that away. now we cool off rather quickly, but not as cold where the winds are ongoing. winds out of the northeast at 33mph at mount saint hele

so be careful parking anywhere around some of those locations around the bay area. with your car or you could see some inundation there inside the bay. meantime, though, we are also tracking some winds. the winds are going to get within again. some offshore winds going to be kicking up specially over the mountain tops above 1000 feet or so. some stronger gust of 40, maybe 50 miles per hour possible. not as windy down below but will be breezy at times around the entire bay area for tomorrow and probably start to back off as we head in towards sunday. again, high pressure sitting on the pacific ridge kind of flooding out. we've got this low pressure center that's kind of rolling over the top of it as it begins to drop to the south. all of a sudden, we're going to watch those offshore winds kicking up again. unfortunately, southern california going to see another wind event. they're not a strong as it's been, but they'll get breezy again for us. we're going to watch those winds kind of kicking up as we head through the night tonight and tomorrow afternoon, those winds g

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

and then across the bay area. top gusts here was mount saint helena right around 5:00 this morning at 64mph. i haven't seen anything that gusty here in the past few hours at mount saint helena, but we still are clocking some strong winds, as you can see right now on the current gusts, most of the lower elevations 15 to about 20. so not a big concern for a lot of the populated zones up towards mount saint helena, though we're up to 39. mount diablo, with some strong winds coming out of the north here at 43. so the big headline here is, as we roll through tonight, we're still looking at some of these isolated gusts, 15 to about 35mph that still could get up there for the lower elevations and the mountains 40 to about 50. but look at how that wind calms down for tomorrow morning. it's only 3 to 18mph. we would continue to see that wind cacalming do through tomorrow afternoon and evening. so again, i think tonight we get through that and we're good to go here across the bay area. southern california likely going to sta

nearly 39,000 people living in the bay area are unhoused. that's according to new numbers from the federal government. and santa clara county has the highest unhoused population of any bay area county. nbc bay area's marianne favro here with a closer look at the numbers and why advocates say they're increasing. marianne. terry. there are an estimated 10,400 homeless people living in santa clara county, and advocates say the number is growing, in part because people are getting priced out of housing and some are on the verge of getting evicted. for dozens of people, this encampment off taylor street in san jose is home. new federal numbers show the number of unhoused in santa clara county is up 5% since 2023. homeless advocates say they believe there are even more unhoused living in the county than the more than 10,000 the federal government counted, and many people grew up here. it's just people getting priced out and people who are going through a lot of evictions and they end up on the streets. and when you talk to people, it is constantly

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

sunday for the higher elevations in the bay area, which are the least density populated parts of the area. where most of us live the winds will be gusty but not problematic in all likelihood. it's going to be an offshore wind. we have to keep an eye on the fire threat. vegetation still has enough moisture it's not overly concerning yet. eventually we would like to see the rain chances returning. most peak wind gusts will be in the 25 to 35-mile-an-hour range for the communities in the bay area. in the valleys the gusts won't be as strong, a couple exceptions, a 40-mile-an-hour gust around livermore, 45-mile an hour for half moon bay and where the wind does extend to sea level, 50-mile-an-hour wind gusts for fairfield, especially late in the day saturday. we'll keep an eye on it heading through the next 48 hours. the wind will help disperse the fog that's trying to roll in and keep temperatures from dropping down too much through the rest of tonight. we'll all end up in the 40s by early tomorrow morning, not a lot of variation. the strongest winds pick up after midnight. fog will be a

those numbers will dip down to the 40s for most of the bay area by early tomorrow, but a couple spotsy right around 50 degrees. that wind stirring around the atmosphere keeping even the valley locations in the north bay from dropping down to the upper 30s. this is an unusually warm start for january and we'll see unusually warm temperatures in the afternoon as well, everyone in the 60s. most of us are between 64 and 67 degrees. the cool spot is 63 degrees in livermore, the warm location 68 degrees in san jose. so only a 5-degree spread across the entire region tomorrow afternoon and not a lot of variation to our high temperatures the rest of the workweek. let's check out the seven-day forecast which does keep us above normal. the coolest days in sight a week from today still topping out in the low 60s, about 5 degrees above what's typical for this time of year no, rain in sight and not much cloud cover, just a little passing cloud cover overhead friday and back to lots of sunshine as we head into the second weekend in january. >>> time now for a check of what's ahead at 6:00, we switc

and look, we had some really gusty winds here in the bay area earlier this morning. of the mountains did get up over 60mph. but as we roll through tonight, next couple of days, i don't see any problems with wind back here in the bay area, but southern california again is still in it. so let's start it off and take a look at these top wind gusts that we had here through california. this is over the past 24 hours, san gabriel mountains in southern california, up to 67mph. simi valley 47 palisades fire in that fire zone got up to about 42. and then back here in the bay area, we had 64mph mount saint helena this morning. oakland hills also reaching 49. so while our wind will continue to decrease, it's here in southern california. the setup is going to be just right. unfortunately for them to get these santa ana winds back. so you can see most of southern california remains under these red flag fire warnings, winds up to 70mph all the way through the day on wednesday. then by 11 p.m. on wednesday, we would start to see that wind calming down here and certainly looking muc

so we've got high wind advisory going up across a good part of the bay area specially over the mountain tops going see some gusty winds. all those areas shaded in brown, the oakland hills, east bay, the diablo range expecting gusty winds there as well. and you see that here. here's the forecast model overnight tonight. you'll watch winds kind of wrapping up, especially after midnight boy in about 3, 4 o'clock in the morning. 6 o'clock in the morning or very gusty winds, 40 plus mile an hour winds across some of the mountain tops there. that is going to continue throughout the day on and off tomorrow. so plan on being a blustery day, especially over the mountain tops down below. you're gonna see some gusty winds. i think even in some of the urban areas. but since we're not getting the rain, we're getting these systems kind of rolling over the top and moving over the great basin. what they do is they generate a lot of wind here the bay area more that the comp. all right. well, yeah. >> enjoy the warmth while we have it. yeah. thankful for the rain that we had right hope for more rain in a

the bay area was busy on this new year's day. e were festivities for the last full night of hanukkah and plenty of new year's traditions as well. from polar plunges and creative ice skating costumes to lighting the final candle on the menorah. abc seven news reporter tara campbell shows us the festivities to kick off 2025. >> reporter the sights and sounds of new year's day in san francisco. >> the winner is baywatch from the polar bear skate at union square to the early morning polar plunge at ocean beach. >> it was really exciting and very invigorating. a great way to start off the new year 2025. it was awesome. >> it was a bit warmer than i expected it to be. >> more brave souls taking to the frigid waters off of alcatraz. close to 100 swimmers making the annual mile and a half trip from the island to aquatic park. >> water is cleansing. water is renewing. it's a reset. and when you jump in 51 degree waters, that's a reset. >> over in japantown, a different way of resetting is to allow the divine parent to hear them when they'r

the bay area connection. overnight, a man drove a pickup truck through bourbon street in new orleans, killing 15 people and wounding dozens more. hours later, someone drove a cyber truck to the trump hotel in las vegas, where it exploded. both of the vehicles were rented through the same app. now the app is called turo and the headquarters are in san francisco. today, abc7 news went by the offices on new montgomery street, and turo is like the vehicle version of airbnb. car owners list their vehicles for rent. they're. authorities say a driver rented a tesla cybertruck in colorado and drove it to las vegas, where it exploded into a fireball outside the trump hotel. that vehicle was loaded with fireworks. the driver was killed and seven bystanders suffered minor injuries. investigators say they have not found any clear connection to isis or the possible terrorist attack in new orleans. now, the pickup truck used in the new orleans attack was also rented through turo. the fbi is studying videos. the suspect appe

the bay area strike teams are already providing a helping hand on the front lines. and all of this no doubt hitting home for a lot of those victims of previous bay area wildfires, some of which were also historic. today in the bay's ginger conejero saab is live for us in san francisco this morning and ginger, latest tragedy, no doubt triggering new conversations about fire safety as well right here. that's right. marcus and laura and our hearts go out to everyone that is impacted by the devastation in southern california. and, you know, , it makes us think about what we go through here in northern california because we see our fair share of wildfire danger as well. it begs the question, are we prepared or can you ever really fully prepare for something of this magnitude? those are some tough questions that los angeles leadership is facing at this point. amid the devastation that we see from these wildfires. it's also in light of approved cuts to their fire department by city hall. la mayor karen bass is facing those questions specifically about an $18 million budget

for basically the entirety of the bay area. cloud coverage that is insulating us, and the insulation acts like a blanket overnight and keeps temperatures mild. the reason we're seeing all the cloud coverage is because of that very large storm system that has arrived. it is bringing a lot of activity up to the pacific northwest and just beginning to impact us in the bay area. you can see the tail end of that storm system making its way towards the bay area. you can see that swirly whirl of the low pressure system just off the coast of canada. we're going to continue to see it again, impacting us not much longer than today. it is a thin line of moisture that is going to move through and after that, not too much activity is expect the into this weekend. that's really great news. any outdoor plans and umbrella will be necessary. if you can, move those outdoor plans indoors, especially for this morning. we're expecting the lighter showers to continue to get heavier and heavier. this line of rain will be the heaviest as it moves acros

is across not just southern california, but also the bay area. we will have gusts picking up later today here in the bay at around 30 miles per hour. >> but not an exceptionally windy day. she can see from the top of mount tam. it is a crystal clear day. right now winds are pretty solidly from the south and east, which is steering a little bit of smoke up our direction, not a ton, but you may notice a little bit of it. southern california bout to be seeing those red flag warnings and high wind warnings expiring later on today. here we are seeing are wind advisories going back into effect but only for upper elevations where you will feel some of those stronger gusts. gradients indicating fire danger to relax a little bit down in southern california, you'll see less and less of them this weekend. little bit of a breed out. but we do have some stronger winds likely picking up next week, especially towards monday and tuesday. as i mentioned, some smoke is diffusing towards our direction. you especially might notice a little bit of that in the southern

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

getting around the bay area is going to cost you more. starting today, most bridge tolls are increasing and so is the cost of some transit. nbc bay area's christie smith spoke with riders, commuters and riders we spoke with say it's not convenient, but they've noticed the cost of many things going up, so they didn't expect transportation to be the exception. the start of the new year comes with the need to dig a little deeper. regular tolls are going up by a dollar on the bay area's seven state owned bridges. this does not include the golden gate bridge. if i really need my car for some reason, like, say, i'm lugging a bunch of stuff back or whatever, then i'll take it. i'll take the car and just, you know, pay the extra fare, because unfortunately, this is a car nation, unfortunately. pablo morales relies on muni in san francisco more than a car, but some muni fares are going up too. i guess i mean, just like with everything else, everything is going up. but also, i know, like they're also strapped on. the infrastructure is strapped on ca
