of the poor air quality coming up from the southern california wildfires here in the bay area. so as we get a live look outside from mt. hamilton, actually this picture much improved from what we've seen over the weekend, with a layer of smoke just kind of hovering over the south bay. and that smoke from that smoke pollution is really raising a spare the air day. we've had it over the weekend. it continues today. and what's happening here is we have high pressure, which causes the air to sink, and as it sinks it warms and it's kind of compressing all of that smoke near the surface here. so a lot of the bay area really starting to feel the effects of that smoke that's kind of hovering and settling into our valleys. as we take a live look outside now, the most unhealthy air quality will be in the north bay today. it's mostly moderate for the east bay peninsula and the south bay and we are advising people with breathing problems do limit outdoor time. it's also a good idea to car pool or catch public transportation to kind of reduce the amount of pollutants that we're getting in the air. by tomorrow, we'll start to see a shift in the wind. that will carry a lot more of the smoke offshore and not directly into the bay area. right now we have more of a southerly wind. it's going to turn off towards the west as we go into the day tomorrow. and our high temperatures today reaching into the low 70s. now we know our temperatures are well above normal for this time of year, up to 65 degrees in oakland and 74 degrees in half moon bay. san francisco, some mid-60s there and the north bay in the mid to upper 60s. as we get a look at what to expect today with our high temperatures and where we're headed, near record highs for santa rosa. think we may tie the record there, but other areas will be really close as you look at these numbers. maybe just a few degrees below a record high temperature. so we're actually talking about beach days here right on the beach in santa cruz. it's going to be in the low 70s for this afternoon. san francisco, expect a high of 66 degrees and mostly sunny skies all throughout the week. inland areas, we've had some really cold mornings, and another thing that really dry air does, it just creates a wide range in temperatures from very chilly mornings to very warm afternoons. and we see those temperatures warming up and cooling off relatively quickly. we're going to see more upper 60s and low 70s through the week and we have to go beyond the seven-day forecast before we find any rain in here. coming up a little bit later, we'll

missiles that are hard to detect. namely those launched from north korean sub-marines. the drills involve destroyers from all three countries. they're operating in waters between japan and the korean peninsula and they were triggered by this growing concern that north korea is also trying to make advances in its submarine missile program. these, of course, are hard to detect than missiles launched from land. north korea successfully tested an slbm in august of last year. these drills follow those massive aerial drills last week and come at a time when diplomacy is intensifying. the united nations had its highest level envoy in six years in pyongyang last week. he returned saying that the situation is the most dangerous security issue in the world and that the greatest risk right now is for miscalculation. that there need to be off ramps created or channels open for dialogue in order to reduce the overall risk for conflict. the u.n. chief antonio gutierrez is in japan this week, another sign that the u.n. is intensifying its involvement in the region. and south korea has announced more sanctions against the regime. they're largely symbolic, but still another step in trying to

and the other jurors that jose ines garcia zarate. set out to kill kate steinle. when the jury went into deliberations, he quickly came to a decision against conviction for first degree or

present any credible proof that he was threatening anyone with the gun. he has only recently talked to his friends about the case and even they were shocked about the verdict. >> if i was not a juror on this trial, i'd probably be thinking the same way, why did you let him go free? but, again, the reason was they could not prove it to us that he intentionally killed her. and through all of the

70s here and it's all sunny. we really do need some rain. let's talk about how drive of a month it's been so far. yes, we're only 11 days in but our rain versus average. well, we should question getting at least 1 1/2 inches in santa rosa. we've only had 0.04 of an inch. our percentages of average of 0 to only 3%. one thing working in our favor, we did have a fairly wet november and the end of october, we did get a little bit of rain so hopefully we'll be able to make this up after the seven-day forecast is done. let's look at the high temperatures today. we could be very close to some record highs this afternoon. 71 degrees in san jose will be our high. the record is 74 degrees. we'll also be watching some numbers in the east bay. danville, 68 degrees for the high this afternoon. 70 in redwood city. san francisco, the embarcadero at 65 degrees. also 65 today in novato. in santa rosa, the record high today, 67 degrees. it looks like we may at least tie that record. as we take a live look outside at christmas in the park, it doesn't at all feel like it's christmas, especially with our temperatures reaching into the upper 60s. wouldn't be surprised if parts of san jose got up to 70 degrees. then as we go into this evening, it will just start to cool off fairly quickly into the upper 60s. so if you're starting to go out for the afternoon commute, it's going to be in the mid-60s there. windows down. we're enjoying the sunshine and also the warmer temperatures. as we go through the rest of the forecast, high pressure stays with us for a long time. by next week, we'll start to see that high pressure kind of fading, weakening and then here is the swirl of the clouds, the area of low pressure and some rain may get here by next wednesday into thursday. but there is still a long time away, and things could change by then. we'll continue to monitor that. so december 21st right now looks like our chance to get some rain in here. as we go through the next seven days, we'll see those temperatures only into the mid-60s. morning temperatures, really chilly. we've had some upper 30s and even freezing temperatures in some of the valleys. 70 degrees as we head through the day today for the inland areas. by the end of the week, we're still seeing some of those very warm temperatures into the weekend. maybe not until next thursday or wednesday, laura and scott, we'll get some rain here in the bay area. of course i'll be tralking all of that. >> sounds good, kari. coming up award season is heating up. we break down this year's golden globe nominations.
