Hi, my name travis russell, associate st. Ignatius paris. The holy days are approaching and easter on sunday and many of us are cooped up inside, practicing social distance, perhaps feeling a little alone and disconnected from our traditions. Grace and peace of our lord jesus christ, the love of god and the communion of the holy spirit be with you all. Reporter there are many opportunities, a new model of old church, its about getting back to basics and practicing these great symbols we have of our faith, and as we approach easter, in that in between liminal space its important to remember that we are jesus disciples so how can we take the crucified of this world off their crosses and perhaps its talking about what we can do to alleviate some of this suffering. On easter, i think the best medicine for a pandemic is joy, rejoice in what we have. So at st. Ignatius we have asked people to send in photos of themselves and we have taped them to the pews of people and their families, so even though its a virtual experience, we also get to see their faces, and weve actually as catholics always sat in the same pews, we have put them where they actually sit. So its wonderful. Its another reminder of this real spiritual communion that we share in the body of christ. I think the holy days are the perfect paradigm for our time. They speak to us in a new way. Holy thursday is about pouring out your love, good friday is about love lost, and disappointment, betrayal, and Easter Sunday is about committing and doubling down to love when it, in spite of all thats going on. The facts dont change, but they are transformed. Theyre illumined with hope andd joy. To be a follower of jesus is to be an easter people, not an idealism, but a hope that is born beyond all of us, and to recognize that everything we have is a pure gift. Important words.

That begins a slight cooldown for some and well show you the rest of the week in a moment. As for today, here is the fog footprint and begins to back off and youll see the holes in the overcast by about noontime, and then it continues that trend. You notice the green here, wants to bring in some cumulus to the north bay, maybe even a mountain stray shower. Otherwise looking at the Clear Conditions tonight, turning partly cloudy with a return to the low clouds and fog on the peninsula, but then tomorrow sooner burnoff and that brings a warmer day. Highs today in the south bay ranging from the upper 60s, partly cloudy conditions. 67 in. Te millbrae. San francisc58 downtown. Up in the north highs ranging from the mid60s sausali sausalito. 72 in santa rosa and into the east bay, numbers mainly in the mid60s, a few upper 60s as you head down towards fremont. Inland checking in with upper 60s by that 3 00 4 00 afternoon time frame. Maybe even a few low 70s out towards the delta. So looking like a brighter day for your Easter Sunday, as we get into your thursday, check out the clouds return, maybe some mountain showers but notice the bay area staying out of the rain, but the cooler weather will result by the end of the week. The accuweather sevenday forecast featuring the easter bunny with a cool start and clouds out there and 60s and 70s around the bay and inland and that warming trend getting us through monday, tuesday.

Abc 7 news anchor dan ashley shows the critical work done in the bay area. Reporter it was the aim nlg that first alerted the world toe a once in a life time side fektd of the covid19 crisis, a pol levels over cna the area beganard, air quality researchers like professor ron cohen at uc berkeley predicted an eventual effect here in the bay area which the epa pegged as a yeartoyear drop of more than a third in significant pollution levels around San Francisco. Its much bigger drops than anything else we looked at. Reporter professor cohen and his team transferred numbers on nitrogen dioxide into a bay area version of the wuhan map. Levels dropping by roughly half from the week before the shelterinplace order. It wasnt a fluke of weather or other factors. Theres a tremendously less nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere. Reporter soon he believes other key data will start to become more clear as well allowing researchers to confirm not only how much pollution is in the air but more precisely where it comes from. We think we know how much comes from cars and how much from trucks and how much from industry. And all of those things suddenly changed by different amounts. Well be able to check. Reporter and as specific industries potentially ramp down and back up again in the wake of covid19 it is perhaps a sad irony that a human health and economic crisis could provide powerful discoveries about an environmental one.
