Very brief. San francisco, san anselmo. We felt it here in the nbc bay area newsroom. It was quick, very noticeable shaking for a couple of seconds, and then it was gone. It wasnt the first quake of the night. 3. 1 earthquake hit east of morgan hill about 7 00 tonight. No reports of injuries or damages from earthquake. A few moments ago sam liccardo tweeted about the earthquake saying after two quakes today, ready your home kit and be prepared. Good advice. Now to a developing story out of southern california. An eighthour flight from l. A. X. To l. A. X. Yes, an all Nippon Airlines flight to tokyo was nearly halfway there when it had to turn around and fly back to Los Angeles International airport.

The firefighters say one driver kept going and crashed into this home. This sat the intersection of los padres boulevard and bohannon drive. Were told the family that lives in the house has two small children, but though one was home. The time of the crash no one inside the car was seriously injured. Mother nature not very active in the rain department. The bay area well below average. The live look at san jose. Weve got clear skies. Meteorologist rob my yesterdaye been crunching the numbers. Its been a dry, dry december. Dry since 2011. The progression of a typical rainfall season. This is typically the wettest time of the year. But for month of september, take a look. The by area has only seen 0 to 3 of the monthly average. So were talking about 3 to 5 inches of rain missing from San Francisco northward. By the end of the week it could approach more than 6 inches of rain were missing for places like santa rosa, south bay and central bay area, missing about 2 to 3 inches of rain. Moving forward were seeing ongoing issues of air quality with the lack of storms or any wind to push the smoke out. So we can see more spare the air days until the pattern changes. Frosty mornings have been an issue as well. Maybe some good news as we head towards new years eve and the weekend ahead, some chances of rain finally making a comeback. The timeline on that coming up at 11 16. Thanks. New at 11 00, Silicon Valley leading the market once again in another industry, marijuana stores.

Reporter there are only 40 licensed Stores Across california so far, but the state will continue issuing licenses through the weekend. San jose and san diego have the most at seven apiece. I think that san jose did a really good job of setting up regulation. They had a pretty strict policy up front. So it really made the state Licensing Program thus far, put us in a good position. Reporter other studies have been slow to approve their own rules and permit. This is brandnew. And in more and more jurisdictions are coming online by the day. But its still going to be a process as we move forward. Not everyone is going to be ready on january 1. Making sure they have enough supply to meet demand. So hopefully there is cultivators and manufacturers to supply all the different Retail Stores come the first of the year. Reporter so far there are two shops set to open in oakland, one in berkeley.

The National Weather service says the city received 53 inches of snow in just 30 hours. The last time erie received this much snow, it took 13 days to build up. The city is currently under a state of emergency and may call the National Guard to help clear the roadways. Wow. Whiteout conditions. We need precipitation here. Desperately. Not that much. Well take a few inches. We might see something this weekend. Weve been watching that trend very closely in the longrange forecast. Meanwhile, its a little chilly tonight. Maybe not as cold as you just saw and parts of the great lakes where the snow is ongoing. Here it is chilly. Were down to 37 degrees in san rafael. Likely dropping into the low 30s in parts of the north bay for tomorrow morning. Telephone right now 50 degrees. Eventually dipping into the mid to upper 40s by tomorrow morning. A nice view there from emeryville. 42 degrees. A little chilly around the bayside there, the east bay and san jose, 47 degrees. May see some upper 30s near downtown. Now the main concern for tomorrow morning might see a patch or two of fog around the central bay. Again, the futurecast kind of pulling back on that fog possibility. Enough of a breeze out there to keep things mixed up. And during the day, though, not enough wind to prevent more of those hazy skies weve become accustomed to. Tomorrow well see highs into the 60s after a chilly start. A spread of mid to upper 30s around the east bay. Lower 30s possible around santa rosa and san rafael and close to 48 degrees in San Francisco for the morning. Now for the afternoon, highs in the low 60s around the south bay.

With some patches of low clouds. And as we head into the north bay highs, close to 60 degrees. So the longrange forecast, take your pick. Were looking at two longrange weather models. One doesnt give us anything. But the other weather model weve been tracking the last few days still brings a chance of bringing rain. The time frame on that at least now could be new years eve into new years day. So stay tuned if you have weekend plans. Well be watching this closely between now and this weekend there is a chance that midway through the weekend, well go from these cloudy skies to a chance of seeing rain. Right now, again, only half of those longrange models picking up on this pattern shift. Possible as we get into new years eve night into new years day that we could see a welcome return of rain and possibly a more active pattern as we head into the new year. In the moon time, were going see mild temperatures and more of the hazy skies. Well see if we get any more spare the air days between now and friday. San francisco, not much temperature change. But for places like san jose, we may have a chance of upper 60s. Maybe close to 70 on friday. Then the clouds roll in. And stay tuned. Again, thats a big holiday and travel impact potential there for sunday night. If we get the snow level down to 5,000 feet, the rain making a comeback. Maybe not the best timing for new years eve plans. But given how dry, we do need that rain and snow. Thanks, rob. You could call it chemistry 420.
