The emergency proclamation says that these Corner Stores cannot stay open between the hours of 08 00pm and 06 00am the goal here is to keep people from gathering at these places but one store owner we spoke with said these hours are crucial to hibusiness and that this is really going to hurt. San franciscos liquor in corner store businesses are having to make some changes. The city is deemed these places essential but the mayor is now imposing new restrictions be fair to us dont treat us dont take us to e corner and profile oscars where the weak or lets fight 1168 allies should mia is the owner of 19th avenue the customers he sees come in after 8 at night. The mayors new emergency proclamation is forcing the closure of such stores between 08 00pm and 06 00am shimmy a is expectg to take a major hit shes hurting everybody across the board just either make herself look better or just think that think thats what shs doing is going out of isis not unit across the board.

Selling out. A gating district 6 supervisor matt haney says he undersnds the hardships of these smaller businesses struggling through this difficult time but he also understands that Public Safety and keeping people from gathering is the top priority. We have to make sure that we protect Public Health and that you dont do anything that would cause fire spread not all Convenience Stores are against these reduced hours sfpd visited easy money in the outer sunset to let them know aut the new cut off store owner, sam debits shop usually closes at 9 oclock.

Thanks for staying with us how about we get a check of the forecast lets check in with meteorologist dave spahr. Who is reporting from home and see what monday has in store, i know you mentioned earlier that theres a chance we could see like a stray shower in the north bay, maybe. Just get these windshield wipers a little bit and dirty it up nicely for you there thats thats about the best are going to be on the muster and maybe on top of all of that some slightly wet roads to and this is going to start off in the north bay in kind of spread out overnight into other areas of the general bay too so this is what it looks like right now on the satellite radar picture composite and you can see it hasnt really reached the counties of the bay area just yet thats expected to drop south as the morning. Kind of progress is a little bit more into the afternoon. Temperatures have been very sluggish though weve seen the midfifties hanging on the east bay shoreline really just about since the time we joined you this morning, 52 liver morning can 47 meanwhile up santa rosa, 54 jose in palo alto and 52 down to a redwood city. So it could be a beauty shot here with still quite a bit of cloud cover from this Vantage Point as we take a look at some sun poking out a little bit along the east bay shoreline. The shock from u c berkeley there we see the bay off towards the distance and the peninsula further out so we give the future cast for a little chance here to show you what were talking about and we see some clearing happening to the south and east not much in the north a little churning around as late as about 5 oclock or so and then the overnight hours particularly will get some stray showers cooking and here and then spread out even by dawn tomorrow now and we keep stretching this out in 2 other areas of the bay Santa Cruz Mountains a little bit into the east bay as well. All told thats going to lift off. And well see High Pressure building behind it. But how much we talking about with all of this was i said earlier its really cosmetic rain enough to kind of dirty the car, i know you blink you miss it. What is that it yet. Well theres another shoe to fall here this will be from tonight on where to Tuesday Morning in. Well it gets light coverage across the bay again a couple little reporting stations, you know raising their noting that the rain bucket got a little wet, but thats about all were not really at any beneficial rain to any of this, but the tropics driving all of this will lift off to the north and High Pressure workplace it and that will drive some winds though, and that will be noticed by tuesday night and into wednesday. But the wider perspective, everything shows that once this traffic is over now that we have the winds that i spoke of that will be felt mostly along the peninsula and up to the north a little bit. And then thats go out the skies to kind of open up quotation marks a little bit. Couple of days of this sunshine working in cooler temperature or warmer temperatures rather and then these trials come back in again were talking on saturday. You can see the timing of this crater in the middle of the day and then punched number 2 comes in here on sunday and this opens up really the door first more systems coming out of the gulf of alaska, not by this point were already in april and this is more kind of reminiscent. A winter like weather pattern were systems come out of the gulf of alaska and then come slana slam us along the west coast like this. And looks like well be seeing a lot more of an unsettled weather patteras we get into that first full week of april we course we need the rain we shouldnt downplay that we want to see maybe more sun but this is what the models are telling us that this map as you see got on thursdays. So this is last thursday to show you that even with all that recent rain that weve had were kind of in the moderate category as you can see from most of the bay area and just a little abnormally dry on to the south. Santa cruz mountains and a lot of Santa Clara County as well so we can use the rain that official amounts of rain it looks like were going to get in the long range forecast models for both this weekend and on into early next week because dont forget we get into later spraying and certainly early summer we dont see as much activity coming our way from this from the systems are temperatures lower to middle 60 approaching their of which is trying to close to average of got just a little bit below if you not to lay as 65 rather can 64 for concord but that 7 day forecast, heres the putting. There we see the skies open up as we get to midweek and the latter portion of its were70s as we head on into the weekend but again more unsettled weather and on into the following week so robin prepare maybe for some roads and all of that.
