Snow:
A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for parts of the Bay Area for Thursday into Friday. ABC7 Meteorologist Drew Tuma says we can expect accumulating snow down to 1,000 feet and will have to wait to see if snowflakes make it to the valley floor.
Tuma says it is now within the realm of possibilities that parts of the East Bay Hills, like Grizzly Peak, could see 6"-12" of snow by Friday. It's even possible Twin Peaks in San Francisco could see flurries or a dusting of snow Friday morning.
