Can you explain to our viewers why the pandemic why this time. Is is so different from any other time in a in a physicians career. So i this moral dilemma, a lot line commissions face that you know of course they want to take care of the patients, theyre trained to do that thats what they bay, you know look to do. But its dynamic between okay i want to take care of my patients that does that mean im not taking care of myself, im putting my life in danger and Something Like and ange at putting the lives of my loved ones in danger that kind of moral quandary i think brings its own really on unique stress and you could affect to die. As opposed to a time when we didnt have a pandemic and thats what makes it quite unique the stress of the situation you know we think to be 10 years old to battle a close a major trauma that many tumors can lead to we know from research that was done after the opponent and then making 2014 that health care workers, the vast majority hell actually on psychological wounds of something on this front lines. A substantial minority will develop ptsd we know from research that was done after 9. 11 that 20 of First Responders on the ground to ptsd it ended up being quite funny to many many of them. And we also know from disasters like Hurricane Katrina that you know the people who write in end if you can t s d because of a consequence of what they did and saw during those times.

Lets go back abry sir roderick ascend another look at the forecast which is a could be recordbreaking hot weather of recent. Yeah, it really could be catherine and were going to notice some pretty mild temperatures though leading up to our possible record breaking heat heading its way into the bay area. As early as thursday, so lets take a live look outside from the south bay and you can see that camera let me readjust up a little bit because san jose deserve better we need to see that life will shop in todays daytime highs downtown denver, this does 61 degrees a little bit cooler in san jose morming up to 76 degrees so most cities in the bay area above average and heres that gorgeous shot, but i wanted to show you out of the south of san jose and you could see some high clouds overhead but overall better clearing as you make your way inland but were going to see the return of that marine layer right along the bay area coastline tonight in future cast is actually going to show not only dense low and high cloud cover but also patchy drizzle right along the San Francisco peninsula, better clearing during the overnight hours on wednesday. Were going to start and end the day with plenty of sunshine and dense low clouds and fog tonight during the overnight hours a better clearing lifting by around 2 oclock wednesday morning, waking up to Crystal Clear skies by around mid morning on wednesday. And thats all because of that ship from westerly winds northwesterly winds that on shore flow pattern is going to start to clear out the bay area as far as our marine layer goes and temperatures out there right now starting to see some widespread 60s but a few 70s as you make your way inland still toasty temperatures there and overnight lows tonight very similar to last night upper 40s and low 50s. Tomorrows daytime highs, widespread 70s and 80s so were going to be well above average about 8 to 15 degrees above normal even happen bates morning with 70s at 69 degrees. But its really going to get harder from their warm temperatures will remain along the coast, but scorching heat in line with widespread upper 80s and low to midnineties possible record breaking heat in the forecast. So keep that in mind but the good thing that is working in our favor are those meek offshore breezes and warm dry mount winds not going to be as gusty. So thats why were out of that high fire danger territory for the upcoming days taking a look ahead though at the extended forecast cooling down this weekend with a slight chance of possible rain returning to the bay area starting as early as monday night with scattered showers on tuesday. So going to keep an eye on that in the coming days back to you catherine. Thank you bree some.
