As the jet stream buckles allowing this cold pocket of air to drop down the west coast. Instead of diving east of the sierra as it typically does, this system will drop right over the bay area so during the day tuesday, the winds are going to pick up out of the north and our high temperatures will drop probably a good 15 to 20 degrees cooler than the highs we saw today.

The use of marijuana as a medicine has grown in popular over the last ten years. Some wonder how safe it really is and what health risks may come with it. Nbc bay areas joe rosado jr. Shows us one San Francisco doctor who is finding those answers in the deceased. Californias medical Marijuana Movement has exploded in the last ten years like the endless strains and hybrids filling the market. Users now come from all ages and walks of life. But dr. Nicholas limos isnt so much interested in the lives as he is in the death. For the past ten years, lamos has served as chief forensic toxicologist for San Franciscos medical examiner. Weve been screening for cannabis in all of our with every death the department runs tests looking for traces of alcohol and medications, including marijuana. In any type of case, we get to see cannabis, whether its homicide or suicide or natural deaths, we see cannabis. Through the research he sees patterns that concern him. Especially in cases of women over 40 who have a condition known as enlarged heart. Enlarged heart and cannabis use in women has been shown by our research to have statistically more greater chances of causing death. Reporter he believes like any drug cannabis should come with a warning. We may need to evaluate the possibility of using a black box warning about cardiac conditions and use of cannabis. Reporter but a psychiatrist who spent his career studying the effects of drugs isnt convinced by lamos theory. Theres been a lot of research looking into the possible harmful effects of marijuana. There have been thousands of studies which have not found harmful effects of that kind. Reporter while there are no requirements medical cannabis carry warnings, some do. Every new member gets a fact sheet listing potential cannabis side effects including heart issues. In great detail we warn people about, if they are taking other medications, to talk to their doctors first. We are hoping that prescribing physicians, as well as patients will use this medication or prescribe this medication after having their hearts evaluated for possible risks. Reporter the medical Examiners Office has even begun to list marijuana intoxication as the cause of death on some death certificates. Despite that, he calls marijuana a safe drug with many medical benefits. Just not for everyone. Joe rosado jr. , nbc bay area news. Theres still a lot more Research Needed on the Health Effects of marijuana. Hes hoping to get a grnt to open an official research project. Right now were going to check directly in with mr. Rob may mayeda on a spectacular weekend. It was tough to top. San jose south climbing up into the 70s. Cooling. Clear skies. Still 59 degrees in san jose. In San Francisco, 55 and now down to about 50 around novato and san rafael. With High Pressure acting as a lid, keeping the wind at a minimum and trapping the smoke particles and giving us air pollution problems again overnight tonight. Well be talking about the spare the air advisory in a moment. Low 50s around napa. 55 in concord. 56 in San Francisco. Gil roy, 57 degrees. Earlier today, gilroy all the way up to 76 degrees. Bay Area Temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above where we should see for this time of the year. That includes down to the Central Coast as well. Tonight, light winds. High pressure keeping a stable atmosphere. Its the north bay that will see the worst of this heading into tomorrow morning. Wood burning has been banned again tonight into tomorrow and very likely this pattern will continue at times into the weekend. But the weather is looking pleasant for your afternoon outdoor plans as we go through saturday and sunday. The pattern will repeat with patches of low clouds moving in across the bay around San Francisco for the morning. And then high clouds passing by as we move through the afternoon. And then looking at sunshine through the day saturday. Also in to sunday. But the bigger changes are going to arrive as we head towards next week. This cold blast of air starting to come down tuesday into wednesday. Its going to take those 60s and 70s and shove them off into southern california. By the time we get into wednesday, now were talking highs only in the low 50s and these colder systems that drop in out of the north, typically dont have as much moisture but we still think well see at least a few scattered showers toward the sierra and maybe in some of the coastal hilltops. And the air will be cold enough to see snow showers as low as 3,000 feet. The question is, though, how much moisture is going to be there when all this cold air starts to arrive. Right now doesnt look like much but notice the sevenday forecast at the bottom of the screen, almost 20 degrees cooler from the numbers we saw. So a look ahead at the big change well see during the time frame from sunday through tuesday. By the time we get to tuesday, san jose dropping down to 57 degrees and the pattern does repeat from the peninsula over to San Francisco. Within three days see those highs dipping from the high 70s into the mid50s and likely by wednesday, highs near 50 degrees in parts of the bay area. But the holiday weekend, still fine. Close to 70 degrees again tomorrow around santa rosa. East bay temperatures looking pretty nice. Walnut creek 68 degrees. Tri valley should see warmer temperatures. Pleasanton toward liverton. We take you over to San Francisco. Mid60s. Hazy sunshine for the afternoon. And watching our sporting events this weekend, weve got notre dame in town for tomorrow. Should see those temperatures in the upper 60s. Notre dame taking on stanford around 4 00. So the weather looking quite nice for that game. As we fast forward into sunday, the st. Louis rams in town taking on the 49ers. 1 05 kickoff time also still in the mid60s. Both games benefiting from some of the warmest temperatures well have in your sevenday forecast. South bay temperatures, sunnyvale. Your getaway forecast if you are thinking of heading to the coast, santa cruz tomorrow, 72 degrees out toward the sierra. Highs in the 50s and then highs in the sierra come thursday in the low 30s. So the big chill is coming.
