From mike nicco. This morning temperatures, a lot of us below freezing. Palo alto, 29 along with concord. 26 in napa. 27 in santa rosa. Almost freezing in san rafael. In oakland, 32 degrees this morning. Winds are light. That was one of the key ingredients. Also the dry air. Just look how nasty the air looks over the north bay thats where we have our worst air quality now. Thats one of the reasons why were under a spare the air alert today. Well also if you look at the forecast for tomorrow be under one and also as we head towards sunday. It isnt often that we get below freezing temperatures in the bay area. People are bundling up and doing their best to stay warm without adding to air pollution worries. Amy hollyfield has more. Looking at this gorgeous view this is what theyre trying to protect. This air. They say it has to be a spare the air day today. They cant have you lighting fires because the soot just makes it difficult to breathe. Today is cold and dry, and it is a spare the air day. When the temperature drops so low theres frost on the roof staying inside with a fire in the fireplace sounds like a cozy idea. But unfortunately these cool dry conditions prohibit that. Its a spare the air day, so firewood is not a hot commodity on this cold day. That sometimes becomes a little tricky. We doubled our orders, were going through a lot of them. You put down ground cover like this the frost forms on the cover not the plants. As for people who have to work outside they need a lot of cover, too. Today is easily the coldest its been. Not too bad. Ive been doing this five years, so i come well prepared. I heard a lot of people saying its cold outside. Steve ortega works in the receiving department at whole foods in san rafael, he says he is doing what he can to fight off the cold. Go inside a bit, always try to stay as warm as possible. Eric powell was enjoying his walk in the cold this morning. He points out it is all relative. Some think its very cold, chilly and everything. I disagree. Mir son lives in alaska, for a year. Its cold up there. This is nice weather. Im from the east coast. If you get caught lighting a fire today it will cost you. The fines range from 100 to 500. 500. Amy, thank you. You can keep tabs on the big chill with the abc 7 news weather app. Its free to download from apples app store or google play.

We just ended the year a lot of us were close to where we should be. Theres a lot of numbers here, let me roll through it. This is how much rain we received in december. This is how much rain we re received the entire year. Most of us are 45 to 55 of our entire years worth of rain fell in those 16 to 21 days in december. While its grit, its deceptive because it all fell at one tile instead of gradually over a couple of months. Let me get out of the way so we can zoom down. The southern half of the state has a better than average chance of seeing precipitation. We have a chance of being above, below or on average. We are in the highest category of having above average temperatures. That will spread throughout the west with below average to the north. That means the storm track will be going to our north and slide noogt upper midwest. Theres a split flow going to the south and sideliding along the Southern California coast. Hopefully we will get one or two storms to veer our way. Right now bone dry out there. Temperatures are slowly responding. Mainly in the mid to upper 40s. Lets look from emeryville. You can see how hazy it is. Cant see much past treasure island. Cant see the golden gate at all because of the haze. That will be around. Not only now but through the weekend. Bringing it with the warming trend. Tonight is one of the last nights we will see and feel freezing temperatures inland. We may get one more night out of it. As we warm the afternoon highs, today in the mid to upper 50s. Lows will start to gradually come up with them. Tonight a lot of 20s in the north bay valleys, san ramon valley. 30s to 40s around the bayshore and the coast. Look at these three areas of High Pressure dominating our forecast. The jet stream well up to the north and diving into the upper midwest and missing us. If youre going to tahoe looks great. Nice to see that snow up there compared to where we were this time last year. No snow for the foreseeable future. Temperatures finally above freezing today after about 48 hours. Well hit the low 50s to upper 40s by saturday. More 50s are on the way next week. Well get our chance of warm weather starting tomorrow another spare the air day possible. We could have a string of them tuesday into wednesday. Our next chance of rain will roll in thursday. Thats also the next chance of snow for the sierra.
