Winds 10 to 20 Miles Per Hour, still gusts to 30. But the wind advisory did expire at 4 00 this afternoon. Now, still looking at a little bit of light rain around highway 17, towards San Francisco and the inner bay, we have that moist flow coming in out of the northwest off the pacific, tapping into that mid level moisture, which was aimed in on the bay area yesterday. Connections starting to direction now, so dealing with remnant moisture coming down the coast here, good enough for a few light rain showers, or sprinkles into tomorrow morning, along the coast. Partly cloudy skies. Tomorrow, a good travel day compared to what well see thursday. A slight chance of isolated showers, probably after 8 00 tomorrow for places in the northern half of sonoma county. Wednesday, a mainly dry day and the last of our mild temperatures, at least for morning lows. Tomorrow, should be in the 40s. 50s in san jose to San Francisco, and north bay highs in the 50s. Things begin to change on thursday. Notice the rain estimates. The last storm we had were almost off the charts in the red and purple. This system is colder and by nature does not hold as much moisture. So going to get a little more than an inch of rain, but the cold air that will be the headline.

Then its the cold air following the cold front that will be the opportunity from midday through 11 00, some of the scattered showers could drop snow as low as 2,000 feet in parts of the north bay and closer to 3,000 feet in the hills of the east bay. Weve been seeing this quite often, but whats unusual is seeing the accumulations down here. Change also begin in the foothills on thursday and follow you up to see yara. So one to two feet there in the sierra. Christmas day, well see daytime highs in the low 50s. And again, temperatures staying in the low to mid 50s through the weekend. But its these morning pictures well wake up to in the 20s and 30s in the north bay, east bay and south bay valley locations. Cold start to the morning, very likely will have frost advisories or freeze warnings saturday morning and for sunday, as well. Now, theres a slight chance after that Christmas Eve system we may see a few sprinkles crossing through the north bay. As the clouds fill in on top of that chilly start to the morning, a few areas may see highs only in the upper 40s. It is not the north pole, but a chilly finish to the holiday weekend.
