As the limits draw closer, a bay area city is now home to team usas new training center. We are going to take you there for the special opening ceremony. Also, sending out postcards in an effort to protect our democracy. The way one woman originally from the soviet union is trying to encourage people to vote in america. Our bay area proud story is next. I chief meteorologist jack, we are covering our earth week coverage and i have more details on what to look anso, our rain ch as we can down to the paris games, olympic athletes are training here in the bay area at a special facility thats open to everyone. The triple a Table Tennis Center in has been in business for about two years now. Its now been designated the Sports Official usa National Training center, making it the premier table tennis facility in america. 888 will host the lead athletes training for a world table tennis event. U. S. Team trials also a place for anyone like the public can play at this facility. Tonight for the timing for tonights bay area proud couldnt be any better. This election being decided by just a handful of it just a few votes can make that kind of difference, imagine what 400,000 can do. This will, the the bill is passed. If we think about democracy as something that only happens inside the halls of congress, then we are leaving out some pretty crucial locations. Like marie against those living room. Her kitchen and sometimes her backyard. You can be inside or outside. Shes been the driving force of a get out the Vote Campaign that has gone quite a bit done for democracy. This is going to sound very trite, but its like, if not us, then who . Someone has to do it. Maria was just a teenager when her family fled the soviet union to come to the united states. Still, she members enough about life and its totalitarian regime to know its something we should all want nothing to do with. You realize where you could realize that the value of democracy is that, this is the way it is now, with a political conflict. We can vote. Which is why in the run up of the 2016 president ial election, maria wanted to get involved promoting democracy, a selfdescribed introvert, phone banking wasnt a good fit for her, but hand written postcards urging people to vote . Yeah, she could do that. I dont have this persons life but they see a postcard coming hand written from a person and it will hopefully make them stop and think. Oh, registering, its not going to do any harm to do this. So this is my set up. But maria can only write so many herself. So using project management skills honed from tech, maria developed a system that made it easy for others to join her. She gets a list of names and addresses from political organizations across the country, then prepares packets filled with postcards for people to pick up on her doorstep or they can come to her house once a week for a postcard writing party. It only occurred to maria in 2019 to start counting the number of postcards they sent in, but in just five years the number is impressive. You just have 4000 400,000 dispatches. Distributed in the name of democracy. Tell five friends. And yes, maria does have political but even if she convinces someone with a different opinion to get to the ballot box and express it, well, that is still a stamp will spend. The right to vote is other rights. As youre watching the story, you had that reaction when she said like, you notice a handwritten postcard and you do. When you get the phone call, the phone banks you are like how quickly delete the text . Bombarded. If somebody has taken the time to write it and to decorate it, as well, you take the time to read it. For sure. Even if you dont act, you go hey, someone cared about this. For sure. It super effective. Good job. Thanks so much, yes, for our democracy. Lets talk about the weather. You can see the changing forecast. I mean the cloud cover was around all day, jeff. And so much colder after the weekend where we had those 80s, now down into the 60s. We will talk more even about them shower chances ahead for us but i also want to continue our earth week coverage tonight and get you a look here at a 30 year forecast for the sierra and where we could be headed if we dont see some substantial cuts in admissions. So i want to start this off and get a look at where this snow level is usually about the year at least lately and where they tend to average. Its at about 5000 feet. Thats excellent because we are able to bank up that snowpack, which under if we dont get substantial thats where things could get dramatic for us and certainly turn into a worst case scenario. So as we come in closer here, i want to show you the snow levels that we may see in the future, which actually could go all the way up to 7000 feet. Not only sitting off and environmental changes, but of course, we would name be able to bank that snowpack and that would forever change how our water supply goes here throughout california. Now the other thing that this would change with those higher snow levels is what looks to be setting off flash flooding throughout the sierra, which is something that they are not used to, at least very often, and that would have some dire impacts. We talk to an expert in this year about this. Lets go ahead and hear more. We are going to see more rain at the Higher Elevation of to that 7000 feet. And depending on the storm potentially even above that. We are going to see the likelihood of more flooding big atmospheric rivers, even where there used to be snowfall. This really going to reshape the way that we are living through these storms and these experiences as a whole. Remember, to mitigate this, we can all do our part, just lowering your Carbon Footprint will certainly make a difference for us. We have more coverage of this on trent 23, and of course, were covered sure this week. Lets go into the Weather Forecast here and we are going to go ahead and get you into what we can expect here throughout the bay area. We have this area of low pressure. Just offshore. You can see its spinning right there hoping to and certainly some colder temperatures. Weve seen some thunderstorms fire up to the north and over the sierra, nothing for us. Keeping a close watch on the reader. Dont really expect anything tonight, but with thunderstorm activity, you always have to keep one eye here to the radar. So we will closely monitor that. Otherwise, its been all about the temperatures. Look at this drop. From 85 on sunday, all the way down to 10 degrees colder today. 13 in novato, leaving us at 63 right now in livermore. Thats at least compared to this time yesterday. So the cooler weather is already on the way and its we had through tomorrow mornings forecast, we will start off with some areas of fog. Then, as we had to the afternoon, it looks like those clouds are going to be hanging on for us. We may get a few breaks of sunshine, but dont really expect walltowall sunshine the way things are going right now. As we have your tomorrow mornings forecast, upper 40s and low 50s, so jacket weather to start. Again, 53 here in San Francisco and down to 50 here for the east bay. Temperatures through the day dont really warm up a whole lot. Will put us at 67, 69, over to the east bay, 64 in oakland, 64 in oakland and 69 in antioch. The peninsula, chile. 58, half moon bay, 65. And then 65 in sonoma. So as we look ahead, eventually, we will get a system dropping down by friday. That will give us a slight chance of a few spotty showers. Nothing big, trace amounts, maybe a quarter inch for some of the Higher Elevations. So on that sevenday forecast, we keep it on the cool side here in San Francisco, wins will pick up thursday and friday and so far, it looks dry as we had through this weekend forecast. To the inland valleys, we will get up to 72 on saturday, 74 on saturday. A little bit warmer, more comfortable for the weekend, once we get over these cold temperatures. The win on thursday and friday also, thats certainly, you know, its going to be annoying.
