requests because everybody wants what they love, and right now i think a lot of people -- at least on my facebook, not loving the showers coming our way. is that major storm when it comes to rainfall into friday, and it is going to drop temperatures quite a bit. let's get to our first off thing. that is the winter weather advisory. with all this cold air aloft, we could see snow levels down to 3,000 feet. that would mean about two to four feet of snow. if you are headed up four an early weekend, not a major snow system hateded up across here, but once again, roadways will be very slick. dry on the radar right now, but we're going to show you some showers coming our way here in just a minute. we had some 70s today. mainly in the east bay. that was the warmest spot with plenty of low 70s from livermore right into walnut creek. also including dublin and pleasanton, and clear skies right now. we're dropping off to mid 50s here in the knott bay. 56 right now in the city of san jose. for tonight cloed cloud cover increasing, and then throughout thursday we'll have a mix of some clouds, mainly some cooling, and a little bit of shower activity, but a wetter

storm coming for our weekend forecast right now. now, we do have a little bit of cloud cover out here across eureka. we'll have more cloud cover to the south through tonight, and that is going to help to keep us from getting cold tonight. kind of insulated a little bit. our biggest concern is this system right here wrapping up into a ton of polar air, so as that continues to drop to the south, you'll mainly notice the cold air over the next 48 hours, and that also is going to bring us that increased chance of showers as we head throughout late, late thursday, also into friday's forecast. i really don't think we're going to et into any kind of bigger abbing layings or rainfall until we head into friday in terms of some showers. let's get a look. for tomorrow where he start off cloudy across the coastline and the east and the south bay, and then as we head through 6:00 p.m., maybe a few showers here. our models are under doing it a little bit. we may see more than this by 6:00 p.m. tomorrow. then as we head into friday, at 10:00 a.m. we'll see more showers coming back. it's going to be very hit and miss and sporadic when it comes to this rainfall just because there's not much moisture available with it. overall about a trace to

one-tenth of an inch throughout friday's forecast. not a huge rainmaker, but the numbers will drop, and for tomorrow morning, those numbers drop to the low 40s for the north bay and for thursday we'll stay dry for most of the day. the cloud cover will be on the increase. look at the best chance of showers throughout late, late afternoon and also into the evening hours. 57 at san francisco. 54 in half-moon bay. numbers will drop anywhere from five to sex degrees tomorrow. 64 in concorde. 64 in fairfield, and 63 in napa and for most of the north bay those numbers will stay in the low 60s. morning time at nbc bay area.com will find a few showers for friday. then late, late saturday and early sunday morning that's when we could see about a quarter to half inch of rainfall here across the bay areas. look at the numbers. by sunday going from, well, near 70 today although way down to mid 50s on sunday. perfect to get out and drive home on saturday. >> perfect holiday shopping. >> it is. all right. well, some people argue that

jumping out of an airplane is insane. those who do it say it's a feeling that cannot be duplicated. there's a group of daredevil sky divers from the east bay that are very good. here's nbc bay area's lauren scott. >> reporter: for several decades the u.s. paur chute sobering has held an annual competition where the best sky divers in the nation converge on a drop zone for a show of fearlessness and artistry -- if he most recent event the norcal alliance took home gold in the free flying event. >> this gold medal means a lot to me. it's like something i strived for for a very long time. especially this particular medal itself. i've got tony participate in a lot of sky diving venues and events, but this is something i've wanted for a long time. something i have always done. >> reporter: it looks something like synchronized swimming in the air. >> we don't wear speedos, but, yeah, i guess you could say that. >> reporter: what's being judged is the actual video. the man behind the camera,

teammate michael knight, has perhaps the toughest job. >> if we do some of the moves and we get separation or  vertical separation and our camera man doesn't have us both in frame, you get docked points. >> we actually practice the maneuvers on the ground, and then we go up and do them in the air. sometimes when we are practicing a maneuver, we all of a sudden come up with a new trick because it came out of nowhere, we did something that we thought would have been wrong, but then all of a sudden came out to look pretty cool. >> reporter: the midair flights are just part of the junior where i. >> the competition was just the icing on the cake. training tlaut the year was a lot of fun. it was -- you know, of that the main part of it was us throughout the year doing this. it was a huge -- then the success of actually winning was great. >> i think everybody in the world should at least take diving once, and the reason is just to get out there and do something that you have no control over because most of us as humans we have to have the control. we have to drive the car. we have to tell people what to do. we have to put our own lives --

we want to control our own lives. sky diving you're putting it in some guy you just paid them money to throw you out of an airplane, so have you no control, and i think for everybody that can tell you that you can actually let go of your everyday life and it will be okay. >> lawrence scott, nbc bay area sports. now the -- could you imagine that? >> all right. dave is here from our comcast sports net newsroom. dave benz and henry wilson are daredevil sky divers. >> they only do it from the 207 of the desk down. >> i did go sky diving one time about ten years ago. once you do it once, i don't think you need to do it again. that's all i'll say. >> goodton. >> it's a good thing the afc offensive player of the week just so happens to be the raiders' backup running back because it's not looking good for darren mcfadden's return to the field sunday. mcfadden was at practice today, but was relegated mostly to the

role of spectator. raiders insider paul gutierrez says he sun likely to play sunday in minnesota, though officially head coach hugh jackson is leaving the door open. even if -- >> yeah, i mean, i can see him out here today for the first time in a long time. it was good to see him, but, again, not where we need to be yet. we're not there, but we're work at it, and is he closer to being that guy as opposed to not being that guy. i think darren mcfadden without a boot and standing out here for the first time in a long time, to me that's huge progress. for the 49ers they return to practice today knowing they'll play two games in the next eight days. tempts as it is to think about the harbaugh bowl, first the red and gold must focus on the cardinals. thankfully that game is not for four more days because the running back was a no go at practice today. still nurse aing bruised knee. as sunday's win over the giants

demonstrated, gore is hardly the team's only weapon. mindy bach has more from santa clara. rirchlg as the team's 23 touchdowns, only two have been made by wide receivers currently on the roster. michael crabtree and kyle williams. josh ka morgan, who is on the injured reserve, also found the end zone once this season. >> just the style of games we've been in, the type of games and the way games have gone. it's how it happened. no question, i think me included and the guys outside, i think our production, especially in the red zone, needs to get better. >> reporter: the 49ers' entire offense has had trouble scoring s six points from within the yard line. the players view the game against the giants as a big step forward for everyone in their passing game. as the team was effective without the dominant legs of frank gore. fwloo it shows that we can't just drop back. it doesn't have to be play action, and we don't have to get into a run set and pass the ball. we can just go out and pass bh we want to, and it's definitely

going to get in the game plan. >> we've been really running the bail. we've been running the ball a lot. more than passing. i think as we get closer towards the end of the season, i they we'll -- it will probably be more passing than running. >> reporr:n i santa clara, mindy bach, nbc bay area. thank you, mindy. to baseball where tim isn't the only starter the giants are looking to lock up long-term. contrary to early reports team president larry bear tells si.com that the giants are rking to lock up matt cain on a long-term extension. finally, the associated press is reporting former penn state football coach joe paterno is in line for a huge pension. thanks to six decades of service and a recent salary of more than $500,000. a one-year pension could be worth $500,000. the first season sitting on his couch. by the way, jerry sandusky, as we told you earlier, will be getting $60,000 a year from his pension. that is for now pending his

litigation. guys. >> all right. thank you, dave. so many overlapping storylines to this scandal. for a full half hour of bay area sports coverage, can you watch sports net central tonight on comcast sports net bay area at 10:30. >> back in a moment.
