area this evening. we have a wind advisory back up as once again winds will gust out of the northeast. in the 20-30 miles per hour range, heading from 40-50 miles per hour gusts again, through the wee hours of the morning, clear, breezy, above the freezing mark for most locations. south bay, santa clara valleys, still looking at potential frost down there, the northeast bay warming up, as the wind prevails through the day tomorrow. also a fire weather watch, and dry humidity through the region. a red flag warning up in the high country, in the sierra, the dry pattern continuing through the week as we continue with mild temperatures for the upcoming future. mostly sunny cool, up first thing in the morning, as the winds will be here to greet you. gusty out of the northeast, we do have the wind advisories up, winds gusting up to 50 miles per hour, over the higher terrain.

that could cause issues out there. as we look for the high pressure system to continue to prevail, and strong winds developing as a result of the pattern, it will be with us until tomorrow night when the winds settle down. then that should just about do it through the week. taking a look at the forecast model here, again, the winds peaking out through early monday morning, gusty winds across the north bay, the winds less through the day, going away by mid-week as we see temperatures continue on the mild side. i think this will be the last wind event for a while as we see temperatures again -- mild to cool, upper 50s to low 60s, across the region tomorrow. we'll hang in that mid-to low 60s range through the middle of the week. and of course the elephant in the forecast, the lack of rain, we should be talking about that this time of year, the rain deficit to date looks like there, three and a half inches below normal, almost two inches of rain across the bay area, but again the season is early.

and we still have that la nina in effect. so we'll probably see a pretty wet spring, once again, not the case today, as we see, mostly sunny through the week and into next weekend. continued dry and mild across the area. another gorgeous day out at candlestick park with great highlights that we have now. >> and in sports, tiger woods ends his victory drought, and could the 49ers put an end to the playoff drought? we'll show you how it happened and take you inside the locker room next ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
