  'Polar Vortex' event could bring extreme cold to the U.S. How that affects the forecast in NorCal This pattern could hold through the first half of January. While this polar vortex event will not affect Northern California, its presence in the central and eastern U.S. will have an impact on the weather pattern for the West Coast.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (9) runs for a touchdown against San Francisco 49ers during the first half at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. on Monday, Dec. 30, 2024. / Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Showing great effort, the Niners built a 21-13 lead at halftime before falling to Detroit  40-34 . In a game where many expected a Lions blowout (raises hand) the 49ers proved to themselves they can take a Super Bowl contender to nearly sixty minutes. At its best this is a team that can hang with Detroit, but it’s also a team that blows leads and can’t come back. The issue is that both Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde show up each week, leading to San Francisco’s 6-10 record The same holds true for Brock Purdy. A career-high 377 yards passing, where he was central to the lead - followed by two interceptions on bad throws t...
