elsewhere around the bay area, pass and sprinkle or two, nothing you need to rearrange or evening walk around because we will see decreasing clouds overhead and as the wind dies down that is a perfect recipe for temperatures to really drop off. it will be cold out there in spots away from the bay and the coast. we had that frost advisory in effect for the inland valleys of the north bay that goes

morning. most inland spot are going to be down into the middle portion of the 30s but very cold spots in the valleys of the north bay down to around freezing, even a little bit below, upper 20s around santa rosa and likely wednesday will be chilly as well. a good recovery for the chilly start. the exception right along the coast, you will still be on the cool side with highs in the lower half of the 50s, upper 50s for the southbay with near 60 degrees high temperatures and the santa clara valley, even up to around 61 or 62 in san jose, temperatures inland mostly low 60s, the cold spots in the

of sentient overhead, and lighter wind compared to today and it will hopefully feel warmer. temperatures a little cooler as you had farther north. that next chance of rain, not going to be with us yet until thursday so we get to enjoy plenty of sunshine tomorrow and a gradual increasing cloud cover overhead on wednesday but the rain is still going to be hanging out way over the pacific by 8:00

thursday is looking pretty wet. some pockets of heavy rain embedded within this, it is not going to last for several days. basically wednesday and one night of a good rain chance with a few showers lingering early on friday morning but then it gets out of here and we will be drying out for the long- term, 8 to 14 day outlook which takes us close to the end of march shows us a significant chance of below average precipitation, not just for the bay area but for most of the west coast and really much of the western u.s., so it squeezes much moisture out as it possibly can. few early showers

value of art is if it has to be hikey. >> the sad part is, the theft is bad enough but the byproduct of the theft is almost as worse because the paranoia that they create, and the fact that we are an arts community and we have art in the hallways and we can't put our to the hallways anymore, when the public comes through to see the work. >> the building is fairly secure and another painting was taken the week before so he suspects it may be an inside job. >> if they are trying to sell them then i have a chance of recovering it. they just stole them because they like them for their apartment,
