But again some of popup showers are on the wait list and then kicking up though on this after news of this was long over 20 Miles Per Hour and some side just a little bit more like a 5 to 10 Miles Per Hour most spots around the area highs today running below the average day only degrees in San Francisco 61 in oakland 59 degrees in san jose, the idea these numbers running cooler than average increasing tonight chance some showers tomorrow, mostly cloudy will see a couple of sunny breaks but we are going to see cold showers on and off throughout the day i think the bulk of the rain is really want to come on sunday morning that see the heaviest amounts of rain and maybe even some thunderstorms stepping outside right now we do have some Cool Temperatures numbers runng in the 40s and 50s and low clouds start to move in we are going to more cool weather just a mess coming in out right out of the gulf of alaska and that is going to bring with it that cold air again sotheres certainly a chance not only some showers but we could very well see me snow peaks too much under storms kind of settling in i think as we get into sunday morning that could be a really interesting morning. Thats when a very large airy and instability want to roll into the bay area bringing the rain can make some popup thunderstorms outside so could be a very interesting weekend ahead, but if we get lucky guys you sneak outside that theres going to be very fresh you may see a couple rain moves through this we get to that late forecast meter back to get us to lawyers will be looking for them.

Restaurants, big and small either closed or trying to make the transition to takeout and delivery. I found one example in oaklands montclair district today for all is an upscale eatery now turning to take out only. Pearls all a car takeout menu includes beer and wine as is now allowed the montclair Business District is usually bustling but now the cars parked here are really only for the peets coffee, the banks, the pizza place or the safeway for ozone us a takeout business does not save everybodys job. But it does help some. This this covers that. I would take out were not talking communities need to. Like so many Small Businesses now pearl is trying to do whatit can to stay afloat anto help their workers to the same and take a look at this this is what oaklands Jack London Square look like today like so many businesses around the bay area here to Jack London Square. Many have temporarily close up shop because of the shelterinplace order. San Jose State University is answering the call to help address and medical supply shortage by using 3 d printers to make face shields and ventilators university is pretty much shut down.

Set world and help 3 d printing can be somewhat slower than traditional manufacturing, but they can operate around the clock and in a time a shortage every massacre ventilator could save a life. The professor says his students are more than happy to help out. If you have been behind the wheel of a vehicle, lately you have surely noticed there is much less traffic in the bay area. Unfortunately, though some drivers see that as a green light to spain which has led to an increase in speeding tickets. The chp says speeding citations are on the rise along bay area freeways officer brandon says that there is no excuse for speeding. Theres no. Im in a restive for essential services for going a 110 but thats not because is it will also not stopping people. Just because you think theyre course he stay at home were not enforcing out. Officer korea says the chp is practicing social diancing while it is handing out all those citations he says officers are now wearing gloves more often and using plenty of hand sanitizer. There are some simple ways for people to share a really valuable information during the shelterinplace one way to do that is on a Facebook Group. I started such a group yesterday called it helping each other petaluma it now has more than 800 members and its raised almost 2000 to buy food and supplies for local animal shelter. People who lost their job or their Health Insurance parents who are seeking advice on helping their children with online schooling in even restaurants are trying to truck ramp up there. But the Delivery Business they can all post their needs. And others who have extra time to run errands for seniors or to tutor students. Theyre posting their skills and their expertise Facebook Groups are easy ways to share Important Information from your own neighborhood. If you dont have a Facebook Group you can start one yourself, you might be surprised how many great ideas and helpful people live. Right next door. Can i thought this was such a great idea when you told me you were starting this and what i like is youre trying to keep it within a Certain Community like each community right can do it versus one for a whole city which is probably to converse uh yeah because you know your neighborhood more than you know the rest of town. So if you get all your neighbors involved they can address those those needs and they have.
