Freeze Warnings and Frost Advisories in effect until 9 a.m. Thursday as thousands of PG&E customers head into day three without power or heat. As of Wednesday night, about 22,000 customers were still without power.

6:25 a.m. -- Freeze Warning extended through Friday

The National Weather Service extended its freeze warning for interior areas of another 24 hours into Friday, according to update issued just before 5 a.m. Thursday.

A winter storm warning now lasts until 11 a.m. Friday, with snow still expected at elevations above 1,500 to 2,000 feet.

Rain and snow showers will become more widespread Thursday evening into Friday at lower elevations, with a 10 percent chance of thunderstorms Thursday into Friday, according to the weather service.

6 a.m. -- Add time to morning commutes due to wintry weather

Bay Area Rapid Transit officials suggested adding about 20 minutes onto your Thursday morning commute due to the weather. Wintry weather and cold temperatures could also create slippery roadways.
