Our mike inouye is tracking driving conditions, Cinthia Pimentel has a closer look at the amount of snowfall affected. First lets start with meteorologist kari hall, because youre tracking the current temps in the sierra. It is starting out with quite a bit of snow coming down and very chilly temperatures, but rain also for the bay area. As of now, were starting to get some lightning strikes as we get a closer look at the satellite radar with the storm thats moving on the coast farther to the north of the bay area.

Lets start with meteorologist kari hall, tracking the Current Conditions in the sierra. A lot of snow. Its already coming down.

And also transports a huge amount of moisture, not only across the bay area, but also through the sierra, where we are seeing the heavy snow coming down. For us, once again, we are not seeing anything in the way of any real extreme activity but staying spotty and gusty winds, and pick up as we track a chance of
