12:14 pm
known to be expensive and rates continue to go up. ok, it's official. the bay lights are returning to the bay bridge and the nonprofit illuminates says it has raised that $10 0 to bring them back lights went dark last year due to the cost to maintain them. the bay lights are expected to return in the spring of next year. and let's give you a live look at san francisco, where tonight the city will kick off downtown 1st thursdays. the city hopes it will help them revive the area that's been struggling to bounce back since the pandemic. there will be food boost live entertainment on 2nd street between market and folsom. there also be a 6 ft wide disco ball spinning above mina street and tonight's event runs from 5 to 9 p.m. so how's the weather going to be? let's check in with meteorologist jessica burch? >reporter>it has been breezy along the coast all day long. but despite that we're still seeing mostly blue skies throughout the bay area, but along our coastline specifically along bodega bay, we're seeing wind speeds anywhere up to around 40 miles per mph gusting up to 40 so just take it slow out there, especially on those coastal
12:15 pm
roads in our inland areas, though it's not nearly as bad we're seeing light winds all throughout the east bay down into the santa clara valley lasting into the evening hours tonight, but still close to those coastal areas, even half moon bay and pacifica. dealing with some gusty conditions just around dinnertime. other than that, though, in the big weather story for us is the cold front that's moving in as we head into this weekend, and this 1 comes in from the gulf of alaska, so it's bringing in cold, dense air along with all that rain and windy conditions. it's a winter like storm considering the fact that it's so chilly, it's going to bring in some snow up into the sierra to so watch this future cast is such a great tool in a day like today, especially as we head into this weekend because as we advance the clock we noticed those partly cloudy skies becoming a lot more dense into friday evening just ahead of that 1st cold front band of rain, sweeping in like a windshield wiper, starting up in the north bay around 6 a.m. on saturday by 9:00 am now it's starting to impact communities anywhere from san francisco with light to moderate rain stretching all the way up into the sierra in this storm will continue to sweep to the south down into the santa clara valley by around 2:00. what's
12:16 pm
interesting about this storm, though? unlike all the past areas of low pressure that moved their way in, we're not really seeing too much on the bay. back, and it's a lot drier this time. so once that initial band of rain moves through we're kind of left drier conditions heading into saturday evening. and by sunday, we're talking about sunshine, so in total, we're going to see roughly about an inch of rain throughout the bay area is going to be a pretty impressive storm that happens just like that, but other than that, we're also talking about temperatures to on saturday because it's going to be a chilly day for us 50s in the forecast 60s in the forecast way, different from what we have today we're talking about 80s off into the east bay up into the north bay we go. we're having 70s in the forecast this afternoon down into the santa clara valley and very similar trend with those light winds. we just talked about taking a look at the next 7 days saturday. is really just the anomaly little little bit of rain and then suddenly, sunshine on the back end with sunnier skies all throughout next week, and a nice warm up into the upper 70s as well. >ryan>and still ahead. she helps keep the history, culture and beauty of san francisco japantown ally. thank you for
