Greg mcbride at bankrate says they survey 2500 americans about spending and investing during the crisis, and found over half dialing back on spending, but surprisingly, staying the course on investing.

To our ongoing series, making it in the bay. Now more than ever its getting tougher to live here, especially during the pandemic. People in richmond have been protesting soaring rent.

The next thing you know, beautiful cars driving by camdens san jose home, wishing him a happy and extremely memorable special birthday. Happy birthday, camden. What a nice story. All right. Lets check in with rob mayeda right now. I guess a little rain must fall. Then weve got almost summerlike weather comi. Rob . Yeah, youre absolutely right. Were going see temperatures climbing into the mid, maybe even upper 80s. Possibly later in the week. But before we get there, before things start to warm up, we do have one more cool day on the way, and well see more clouds starting to move into San Francisco. Current temperatures around San Francisco running in the mid50s after highs earlier today did get up to 65. Currently in san jose some partly cloudy skies. And we may see a stray shower or two midmorning as weve seen temperatures right now at 66 degrees. And not too far different as we head to tomorrow morning in terms of our morning temperatures. Mid to upper 40s around the north bay and temperatures closer to 50 from san jose over to San Francisco, and our high temperatures for tomorrow may be just slightly cooler. Not close to the upper 60s, but most of the bay area in the mid60s near san jose and San Francisco over to oakland should see highs in the low 60s. So as we transition now to the satellite radar view, check out what we have here offshore. We do have a few echoes here. A lot of these are showers that are falling higher up in the atmosphere, but those rain drops actually evaporating before they hit the ocean, or the land as they hit inland. Offshore a little more moisture out here. A system that isnt particularly strong, but will add just enough lift to the clouds as they pass by through the bay area that it should bring at least a brief chance of seeing some measurable showers. In fact, the model as we look at the expected rainfall totals between now and tomorrow around 11 00 around the same time, we could see a few hours picking up some measurable showers. Best odds will be along the Santa Cruz Mountains and the coast. In addition to, that its up around the north bay that we might see a few more intense showers firing up around mid afternoon. So for the morning, you see the cloudy start. Could see a few isolated showers passing by. And things actually trend a bit more interesting if youre up around lake county, northern sonoma county, or northern napa county. Youll notice around 5 00, we begin to see those showers flare up. They may briefly drop to the south. And once we pass sunset, things start to clear up. Winds will be trending offshore that is the gateway to the big warmup as High Pressure builds, thats a big blob of oranges here off the coast of california. Thats going to send the storms way off to the north and set the temperatures to warm through friday and saturday. Right now looks like san jose. Warmest days around the santa clara valley. Should be friday. And to start off next weekend where we could see some 80s. But check out the temperatures up near yountville, especially by the time we get to friday. Terry mentioned it. It may feel a bit more like summer. Certainly looks like it there. If we head towards friday, could see the numbers in mid and even upper 80s as we approach the weekend. San francisco cooling for tomorrow. Thats just a brief pickup on the way to a warmup. As you see the numbers climbing through the 70s thursday into saturday. And inland temperatures going to be climbing on up. We will see the numbers starting to rise into the mid80s by friday and saturday. There you see the temperatures climbing in a few spots. Its possible. Maybe livermore or morgan hill, san martin up into the north bay. We might see the upper 80s. And time to start next weekend. Briefly into spring. Maybe a taste of summer headed our way to start next weekend. Back to you. Going to feel good, rob. Thank you very much. Still ahead, a bay teacher not letting the pandemic stop him how.

The nfl wants its teams to get a little practice in, so theyre holding a mock draft tomorrow so teams can get used to working from home with this virtual format. Now the 49ers have seven picks, two in the first round, including number 13 overall. Many experts are predicting that the niners will choose a wide receiver to replace emmanuel sanders, and they might. But remember that. Got to the super bowl by running the football and playing dominating defense. So they could use that 13th overall pick to fill the void left by all pro defensive lineman deforest buckner, who was traded to the colts. Oddsmakers, well, they like the 49ers. They have San Francisco favored to win the nfc and return to the super bowl. The raiders also have seven picks, including two in the first round. Now they need a number one receiver in help in their defensive secondary. They probably need a lot more help in other areas. The draft is going on as scheduled. But when can we expect to see the teams back on the field . Well, the commissioner says the league is still trying to figure that out. And none of us know what the conditions will be a week from now, much less three months from now or six months from now. So well be prepared. Thats what we do, and well make sure that were ready to adjust. The first round of the nfl draft is on thursday. After 15 seasons of professional basketball, andrew bogut is ready to call it quits.

Some European Countries are reopening cautiously, even as the death toll from covid19 continues to mount. More than 100,000 people have now died on the continent. Throughout europe, the coronavirus curve is flattening, leading to restrictions slowly lifting. In spain, medics separate partly shutting down a makeshift hospital. Germany will reopen stores that are at least 8,000 square feet. That happens tomorrow. In denmark, children back in school. Social distancing still in effect. Large events are banned for at least the next few months. Stayathome orders across the globe are having a serious impact on air travel, and here is a great illustration of that. The animated graphic released by euro control manages networks across europe. On the left side of the screen the air travel from april 16 of last year. On the right, the same day this year. They say europes largest airports are managing up to 90 fewer flights compared to last year. The news when it comes to coronavirus has been nonstop for weeks, but we did notice a slight change this week this the direction of it. Nbc bay areas Garvin Thomas shares some perspectives. When we go through troubled time in life we often describe it as being on a roller coaster. A series of highs and lows. This far into this pandemic, though, that analogy has not fit. For the past few months, it has felt like one every quickening stomachchurning drop, ever deeper into crisis with nothing to lift us up. Until this past week when for the first time we saw some restrictions actually loosen amid the hope we have arrived a the top of a flattened curve. It was a welcome bit of good news, a light at the end of the tunnel, although were also reminded this week that the tunnel is still very long. Very long for all of those who are being battered economically by this virus. Millions losing jobs, and thousands showing up for charity they never thought they would need. Very long if you were hoping to enjoy a sporting event or concert in person. It may well be another year before we see such things again. And very long before we find the ultimate weapon against coronavirus, a cure or a vaccine. Scientists in the bay area and around the world are working frantically to come up with either finding something that works and is proven safe will take time. Have no doubt, recovery from this pandemic will not come in big leaps. It will come in small steps. But at least for now we can take some of those steps in places we couldnt before. Garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. San franciscos supervisor matt heaney spent the day handing out masks and hand sanitize mere the tenderloin. He says he and a number of volunteers handed out a thousand masks. He also says more are on the way next week after raising 10,000 to go for the cause. Well, its most expensive spending package in our nations history. More than 2 trillion to inject life into our ailing economy. As we reported earlier, the money for Small Businesses have already run out. We wondered where other federal money is going. Senior Investigative Reporter Stephen Stock began digging to find out. Reporter so far there have been three coronavirus stimulus aund the c. A. R. E. S. Act, but we were able to trace more than 3 billion of your tax dollars already spent on services and goods meant to address covid19. 2. 5 million spent to airlift patients off the grand princess cruise ship. 29 million spent by the v. A. Treating infected veterans in california. All of it part of congressionally mandated emergency spending to fight the coronavirus. But tracking where the bulk of your 2. 3 trillion c. A. R. E. S. Act dollars goes is all but impossible at this point because there is currently no plan to make that information public in a searchable database. Make sure we understand we spend money, there is going to be waste. There is going to be porkte mar the committee for a responsible budget based in washington, d. C. Whats not okay is we cant even after the fact go back to see how well we did. It is really important we track this money. Reporter using data found on usaspending. Gov, we track billions of dollars already sent out in the form of government contracts. The majority has gone towards Vital Services including biotech research, hospital equipment and supplies, and emergency relief services. The goal should be get the money out as fast as possible. But we also found covid19 spending that seems less obviously related to the pandemic. For example, 34 million in Computer Services for the u. S. Census bureau. 2. 4 million on food and condiments for the u. S. Prison system. 2. 3 million spend by the irs on 24inch monitors, and another 110,000 for linked in learning. We asked those agencies how these expenses are connected to the crisis, but weve yet to hear back. I think youre asking the right question when you see something that doesnt seem to make sense. Sometimes, though, the explanation is simpler than you might expect. Reporter Shawn Moulton is senior policy analyst on project government oversight, an independent federal watchdog based in washington. His team is working to launch their own searchable stimulus tracker for anyone to use. This is an unprecedented level of relief money going out the door. And so we really need an unprecedented level of oversight and accountability. Reporter moulton and goldwine both point out that the language of the law itself passed by congress requires similar tracking and transparency as the obama and bush era stimulus packages. But they caution that the white houses recent attorney general meant to oversee the c. A. R. E. S. Act is not a good sign. Its important to do that wisely and responsibly to make sure we get good value for that money. Reporter observers expect congress to step in and require more public accountability and transparency, but that could take some time. Both the obama and the bush era stimulus packages took years to implement. The c. A. R. E. S. Act has only been in effect two weeks. Im Stephen Stock, nbc bay area news.
