quickly passes through the bay area, a freeze watch goes into effect more much of the bay area with record low temperatures anticipated. this is an early season cold front barreling towards the west coast. here we go again with the rain developing by let's say 9:00 tonight in the far reaches of the north bay. there you have 11:00 where it's sliding into santa rosa. i'm going to stop this clock now at your morning commute. look right there. we have rain, we have sleet down to 1500 feet. we have snow down to 2,000 feet. and we're expecting one to four inches of snow, thus the winter weather advisory. but this amazes me how quickly it rolls out of the bay area. a shot of cold air comes funneling in. and the end result is these are your expected record low temperatures for tuesday night. we're going for 25 in santa rosa, actually the record there is 24 in 1931. these are old records, 1906 san francisco, the record 41 will be shattered with 38 degrees. so it's not common to be that cold. very little recovery tomorrow
