And more chances of rain in fact you see right here not too far away from the bay area start to see couple showers begin to push in along parts of the north coast Crescent City seen some on the way in the reek and then all that is one of the sliding down in our direction overnight tonight so plan on some rain drops early tomorrow morning but not going to ruin your weekend.

But tonight were going watch those clouds rolling in from that front more of a traditional system coming in that will bring with it the rain that we havent had for quite some time not going to be a ton of rain were talking maybe a 10th maybe a quarter of an inch maybe some of the wettest spots so there it is as we get towards 07 00am you can see coming in and even a couple snowflakes showing up across higher mountain peaks up amount about the 4500 feet or so but theyre to showers tapering off as we head throughout the middle of the day and by the afternoon most of that will of come doing it.

We continue to track the latest on the coronaVirus Outbreak tonight there are new guidelines in San Francisco to try to stop the virus from spreading. The sheriff says Health Department is vowing to take quote swift action to try to keep everyone safety recommendations or similar to the ones introduced yesterday in Santa Clara County they include canceling large public events, including concerts and games suspending nonessential employee travel and avoiding hospitals unless absolutely necessary as we try to learn more about the coronavirus people maybe getting a little confused by some misinformation thats out there. So the host of inside area politics Catherine Heenan moderated a panel of doctors to try and dispel some of the misinformation and rumors compostela so the monon is live in our studio right now she has some clips of what those Panel Members had to say ella you guys might remember that we just learned this week that a san jose teacher in a Primary School ended up testing positive for the coronavirus so there might be parents out there who are worried that their kids could have been exposed. And so today the panel of Health Experts who joined Catherine Heenan talked about the effect that the virus has on our little ones. An important context for that is actually that recognition that children when infected. But the tend to do very well. In fact you know were looking you know 4. 5 mortality rate then in korea a recent large numbers of cases those people who do pass and have severe illness and those and those smaller numbers are older people with comorbidities were also learning again that theres a wide range of symptoms, including people have no symptoms. Our young people are much more like to have that is the experience of covering 19 infection if they are infected. So some of th thats going on in terms of school closure. These to be seen in that light. All right and stay with the firm on because i have heard people saying hey it might be time to close schools. 4 a months you probably heard this kind of thing but are we potentially near in that point. Its not clear exactly what the value of School Closures is for Living Community spread at this point. Our approach in marin county now is to is to safe. We have one case and the school of confirmed illness will close at school for a period of 14 days. This corresponds the incubation period of this on us so anyone who is well after 14 days of having been exposed is out of the woods and they can return to school. And we think that strikes the so that the appropriate balance here. Another doctor in the panel said that seniors with Health Issues are the most vulnerable in that. Those who do fall in the highrisk category should be taking more precautions and the rest that means washing your hands more often keep away from people who are showing signs of sickness and be mindful of where you go when youre out in public.
