Thanks for our kpix candy cane, well have to look for it in the lobby i didnt see it. All right darren, fill us in. Yes, im in the mood to talk about a white christmas. Theres a chance for that in the sierra, and even a chance locally for some of the highest peaks around the bay area. Mt. Hamilton. Could see a light dusting of snow happening in the morning on Christmas Day. Its not like we wake up to it, but it could fall through the first half of the day. First where its snowing. We go up into the sierra and a popular destination for people to get up to this time of year, and look whats happening in lake tahoe right now. The high def doppler is reading the showers over south lake tahoe. The green shows it raining at lake level, which is right about 6200 feet. And as soon as you get up a little above that, it turns to snow. Its kind of an ideal situation up there. You dont have to deal with a lot of snow perhaps on the roadway, but you get snow on the slopes. And looking at what happens over the rest of tonight, if youre going to be driving up there, theres enough snow the remainder of this evening that theres a Winter Weather advisory in the sierra until 10 00 tonight. 1 to 3 inches falling on the passes.

And by the time we get towards the late morning it starts to clear out. Certainly by the time weve gotten to the afternoon well be finished with it. But youve got to at least plan for some rain to be with us through the first part of the day on wednesday. We pick up from a quarter to half inch of rain scattered across much of the bay area. And this image is the interesting one i pointed out just a few moments ago. We just looked at wednesday morning. We could see a little less than an inch of snow on mount hamilton. People love to go up there when light snow falls. That could be a scenario on Christmas Day. Thats something to watch. But heres the take away for the rest of us. Showers, the first half of the day. Just enough for things to be a bit soggy. Lets talk about Christmas Eve day and daytime highs. It will be cool with temperatures only making it into the mid50s here. That actually comes in a few degrees below average, and these numbers probably feel cooler than normal because we were so warm for awhile there. Now were getting back down to average just in time for christmas. And look at the numbers in lake county. Upper 40s. All right, the sevenday forecast, you only see 2 rain chances. We talked about christmas. Those are the showers for the first half of the day, and then we clear things out, so any travel that has to happen for thursday, friday, saturday, is a go. No issues.

Theyll put a lot of officers on the roads and highways over the next couple of days, and they say the goal is a simple but potentially life saving one to make sure that everyone gets to their holiday destination and back home safely. Using the word accident suggests that its something thats unavoidable, so thats why we call them collisions.

Crashes and overturned cars are a perennial problem. Especially on highway 17 in the Santa Cruz Mountains which can be treacherous in wet weather. I think its extremely important to slow down, especially during this time of year when everyone seems to be in a really big hurry to get to the next place. Reporter officers will be looking for drivers who may have been drinking or distracted by cell phones or other devices or speeding or tailgating. The number one goal is everyone leaves home, getting to their destination safely, and back home safely. Reporter the good news, the chp says were in the drivers seat, largely in control of the divisions that help us steer clear of the pitfalls of holiday traffic. Maybe leave earlier and send a little extra time on the road as opposed to trying to get to the next place as fast as possible. Reporter the chp emphasizes that the choices drivers make over the next couple of days will determine if this is a happy holiday for everyone on the road. Thatll do it for the news at 5 00.
