Quiet so far this morning. Mostly clear. Couple of patches of valley fog into the north bay. Otherwise, you can begin to just see that cold front swinging in toward the state.

Some people tried to put them back in the water but then the Department Water creatures swam back to shore. A graduate student observing the bizarre phenomenon says the squid probably dont know where they are. They probably dont understand and are trying to get away and dont realize if they swim towards shore, they are going to run out of water eventually. Researchers think they may have eaten toxic algae causing them to be disoriented and swim on the beach. Also, el nino weather patterns may have drawn them to the cooler waters of Northern California.

Lanes are blocked. A car ran off the road. Thats whats going on there. So again, expect to see some delay. Other than that accident its just overnight roadwork including this stretch of northbound 280 to southbound 101 that remains closed. They have been doing ongoing roadwork in the area. Golden gate bridge traffic is still moving fine. In fact, we didnt ever see any roadwork on the approach to the Golden Gate Bridge so headlights are moving southbound towards doyle drive, San Francisco, drive time still looks great. 13 minutes between 580 and the Golden Gate Bridge toll plaza. They may be doing lane changes to get more lanes open towards commuter traffic. But other than that, thats pretty much all thats going on across the Golden Gate Bridge. And heres a live look up the nimitz. They still have that roadwork in lanes between embarcadero and fruitvale. Obviously its not enough to make a dent in the drive time. 16 minutes on northbound 880 between 238 and the maze. By the way that roadwork is in both directions of 880 right now. And a little farther south if your commute takes you towards milpitas, this is near the 880 237 interchange. These headlights right here, thats the westbound 237 commute for Silicon Valley commuters.

But today its a quiet start to the day, a little cold. We are seeing patchy, dense fog in the north bay valleys but big changes coming our way as we have a storm system dropping into the bay area. This is going to be a very cold storm. Nothing like those big storms. It could carry a couple of snowflakes to the bay area. Wouldnt that be something . Clear out over the bay right now. Temperatures a little chilly. We have some 30s in the valleys. Fog into santa rosa. Visibilities down to a half mile. 39 degrees. 47 in San Francisco. 45 degrees in san jose. On the big picture High Pressure starting to weaken. You can see the cold front lagging well to the north. It will take the better part of the day to drop down in our direction but well see increasing clouds throughout the afternoon hours and maybe a chance of some showers developing as we head in toward the evening in the north bay. The further north you go the better chance you have of rainfall today. Watch out for dense tule fog into the central valley. High country look good. 50s and 40s, good travel conditions up there. Lets time it out. Mostly clear this morning, we may see some fog move in along the coastline later on today and chance of showers on the increase. By tonight expecting showers around the bay area and because the storm system is so cold, it cant hold that much water. So were talking about a half inch, maybe threequarters inch in the wettest parts of the bay area but enough to get wet out there. 50s and 60s going to stay dry today into the south bay dry into the east bay, as well. 36 degrees in livermore. 61 pleasanton. And as you make your way to the north bay those temperatures running up in the 50s and the 60s. Those clouds on the increase, rain become likely overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. Then turning to showers. A brief break on thursday then chance of more showers on friday. And then looks like maybe another storm rolls in come next sunday but none of these big storms, but reminding you that it is the cold wintry season with maybe some snow. Thank you.
