by state lawmakers puts a damper an hopes of creating a state-backed bank for the marijuana industry. the point of a state bank is to take the industry out of the shadows, to make it more transparent, regulated, tax paying part of the economy. the report indicates the industry could generate 1. billion. it could require $1 billion in capital. in fact, the state could potentially lose money for 12 years, and the federal laws could play a big role in it all. if they change in favor of legalization, the state banks would be useless. but if laws become more aggressive, the banks could still close and deposit subject to confiscation. with that said, the study recommends a lead agency to help encourage banks to work with those in the recreational marijuana industry, but it did not mention which state agency would take on that role. san francisco's e-cigarette

available 24/8. english, 888-996-tips. spanish, 844-408-4888. now we look at our weather for the last weekend of the year. >> a lot of people going to parties and have big plans for the weekend. we've got some very nice weather that shouldn't interrupt any of your plans. although you might have to make some adjustments, because it will be quite chilly. here's a live look outside in fremont. the clear blue skies and notice the flag over here in the corner of the screen. it is still flapping furiously in those winds that have been whipping up and at times we have seen those gusts in parts of the bay area at 50 to 60 miles per hour. now things are starting to calm down. here's a live look outside at 101 in palo alto, and everyone out there enjoying that sunshine. but you do still need to at times turn the heater on just to knock the chill out of the air. we're heading into the upper 50s

today, and reaching high temperature at 4:00 here and cool down quickly for tonight. make sure you always have that jacket somewhere close by. our winds are looking so much better. it got gusty for a little while. we have a north to northeasterly wind, and san francisco, as well as the delta, feeling most of those breezes right now. and napa, wind speeds at 15 miles per hour. for martinez, also still a light breeze. as our high temperatures head up to 58 degrees for the middle of the day. and all of the numbers that we've seen recently throughout the week are about normal as we head up into the upper 50s by the end of december, we should be seeing numbers like this. and as you look at the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen, it looks like our seasonable weather continues. and we're going to see for the east bay parts of the east bay, upper 50s, low 60s. up to 58 degrees in san mateo. 59 in redwood city. 59 degrees in the mission district. and the north bay reaching into the upper 50s and low 60s.

that's where we have to watch out for very dry air and some quickly falling temperatures tonight that may dip down to freezing in some of our valleys. we can see that high pressure in control as we don't see storms developing. and we notice with the wind flow, high pressure, it's always clo clockwise, so we can see the clouds going way up and over around the bay area. so we are still looking pretty good over the next several days. if you have weekend plans to take you to russian river valley, it reaches 60 degrees there. and we are not going to see many changes heading into the weekend. heading farther south to carmel valley, also with some highs reaching near 60 degrees and partly cloudy skies for saturday as well as sunday. in our seven-day forecast, we do have some cold temperatures, and tomorrow morning you want to make sure -- maybe even tonight, before you go to bed -- if you have any sensitive plants you're worried about freezing and you live in a valley, make sure you cover that plant or bring it inside. those are things we'll have to

watch for as our temperatures dip during the next several mornings. some cool air and our highs reaching into the upper 50s and low 60s. but notice that it stays all dry. so even as you make new year's eve and new year's day plans, we are not going to see any storm systems moving our way. and it looks like that dry weather continues into next week. and at this point, we could use some rain, but if we don't get any in the near-term, we're still doing okay. and you probably know this, especially in those east bay hills that they have turned all green. let's keep it that way, but for the next few days, we do have some sunshine, and nothing but in the next seven-day forecast. marcus and kira? >> looks good. if we can't get the rain we need, we'll take that sunshine. thanks. coming up, a plan completes what was once thought impossible. he crosses antarctica alone without any help. the bone-chilling journey that is amazing everyone.
