late i mean, everybody, know want >> make it holiday they could use a full holiday week because i think the best skiing will actually be on wednesday. tomorrow is going to be the heaviest of snow fall, which means tomorrow is going to be the worst travel day. but after that, finally getting a good dose of snow in the sierra, sure. we saw some last week, but this time around, it's really going to start piling up to over a foot in many spots, not stopping some people from heading up to 80 this morning. skies in the bay area there. nice and clear. it feels more like winter today, but it just doesn't look like it with that sunshine up about the sierra nevada, on the other hand, has seen a nice dose of snow and it's really only going to kick into gear further tonight into tomorrow, really starting to pile up across the sierra and falling as low in elevation of us around 1000 feet. tonight. well, over 18 inches in some of those upper elevations bay area tonight into tomorrow, seeing a couple of isolated showers. many of us won't happen to any of this while others of us will see some
9:46 am
brief shower activity, especially up in the santa cruz mountains. the blows and mountains down in monterey and san benito counties actually looking at the potential of one to 3 inches of snowfall. so right along the central coast and even south bay seeing some areas of snowfall in those upper elevations. nice to see looking a little bit more like winter after so much summer weather recently. now today is going to be a dry one, but a brisk one with winds gusting to 20 to 30 miles per hour across the bay. that's going make those 50's that we have for daytime highs feel all the cooler. so sweaters, light jackets, anything that you were yesterday? good idea to pull all that stuff back out today and really over the next several days as it is not going to be a warm week. but one of the cooler weeks we've had in a minute, san jose fremont pleasanton in oakland among spots at 57 for your highs. only one, 60 on the map. that's for you in antioch today. tomorrow's daytime highs are actually set to be a little cooler. we do have showers possible for the bay area and snowfall really heavy
