Reporter jana bonnar has more on the young activists making a big difference. Its a scramble at the supermarkets as coronavirus fears feel long lines and empty shelves across the valley. The problem were facing now is when you go to the store those items on even on the sounds to be able to buy someone a movies over here, jay powell isnt picking all of this up for herself bottled water melts. Canned goods soups the pre med student at unr is launching a program called shopping angels expand that you know something ive been focus on him brainstorming pretty intensely for the last 2 days, no delivery fees, no extra costs powell just wants to help those who cant leave their homes when you card nate with us well give you the name of the volunteer whos offering to pick up your socks and youll have them on your pickup order. So that we can go out and get those groceries to you go into one store. Could take could be an allday assessed for now though a person you know they they dont have a lot of money to spend on gas and you know a lot of energy to drive around told different stories only to find out that they can even get the basic supplies that they need to last them for a couple weeks. Weve gotten toilet paper paper towels cleaning supplies anything you might need to get you through a couple of weeks. Powell already has more than 3 dozen College Students in both reno and las vegas, ready to help these boxes will be used for storing some of the stuff and so we can organize house says volunteers will be required to wear masks and gloves while picking up groceries. So were going to have this farm and when they make their deliveries. We also want our volunteers to not go inside the homes.

They play an active afternoon around the bay area can thunderstorms begin to pop up outside look at that that beautiful that cumulus pup that was trying to develop right now not sure thats going to quite make it though, but certainly some have ever had reports of some hail around the bay area the cupertino and some lightning strikes you see that popping up in the south bay, not only there a couple lightning strikes near healdsburg that storm still going so im more off the coastline you can see the showers kind of begin to dissipate just a little bit as they approach the coast. I dont think they get to be thunderstorms by the time they get here but the impulse to say likely going to see a few more scattered showers around the bay area so temperatures as we head toward tomorrow also lingering chance of a scattered shower, those numbers going to be running into the 50s outside about 57 degrees in san jose 15 when the warmer spots a little more 56 in the napa valley about 54 in San Francisco going to be cool day though, and can see over the mountain tops models trying to piece some blue here those are temperatures generally in the 40s so kind of chilly out there looking out over the next few days this what wed expect to see a few scattered showers for tomorrow. Maybe a lingering shower on wednesday. The first day of spring is actually on thursday that right now looks like that will be the dry day of the week but then after that looks like things begin to change again weve got another storm system approaching the coastline bring with it a chance, some showers probably late on friday and then things look very on some over the weekend in fact like this last weekend looks like we could see another area of low pressure begin to approach the coastline and then kind of just sit there and spin off the coast spending wave after wave of showers our way not of right now looks like theyll be a gigantic rainmakers but certainly some very a cool air that is moving in and the chance of showers off and on a looks like in the saturday and sunday and probably the following monday in fact the longrange forecast all the way to the end the month shows a rain and showers continuing and kind of a cold weather pattern may be some snow in the mountains to and thats probably the best news of all as the likely continue right into the end of the month beginning of april in fact over the mountain tops get this guys was fantastic.
