Happy friday, april 24 and lets check with Steve Paulson and i heard you say a little change in the weather back and forth the next few days. I would say the next couple of weeks, it will warm up and cool down and then warmup and cooldown going to early may. Today will be one of the warmest days although yesterday it is tough to be 89 for a sum locations but highpressure is a fair weather friend and sfos is mostly cloudy with that is deceiving, they are up a 20,000 feet and will not last long i went upper 80s but again it is almost impossible to try to nail some of these when temperatures are that warm because 50s at the start 57 and santa rosa and san jose but were running cooler for areas that are usually pretty warm and we were yesterday like in fairfield and concord. But the High Pressure is still owing to be large and in charge which will equal temperatures well above average and even the coastal bay will get in on this, santa rosa at 88 and livermore at 86.

It will be nice, just a little bit of fog down to the mendocino coast but not amount to anything, otherwise clear skies, warming continues and those temperatures which warmed up yesterday will continue and this will be the warmest day for many. If everything holds near 90 for some well inland around antioch in brentwood and fairfield, and santa rosa possible. 52 Golden Gate Park and mostly clear but some areas running like a nap airport, concord and novato is 7 and santa rosas 3 nys santa rosa 3 . I will show you that in a second. Berkeley is at 56, 52 at Half Moon Bay and fremont at 53 and 61 out at brentwood which was down five yesterday. On the peninsula upper 40s like atherton, Los Altos Hills 64. Sfo west at six and hayward east wind and santa rosa has a north wind at 10 and if it holds it will give them upper 80s to near 90, 52 bodega bay, colder than yesterday, very cold water temperatures so it will not take much to get the fog going to happen tomorrow and more so into sunday. Today is the warmest day for many and 70s to 80s, downshift a little bit into the weekend and in warming up again early next week.

The under secretary for science and technology at the department of Homeland Security says the data suggest a virus doesnt live as long and conditions which include heat, light and humidity but he stopped short of saying warmer weather itself could defeat covid 19. It would be irresponsible to say for us to say that we feel the summer totally kill the virus. We have an opportunity though to get ahead. Vice president mike pence says he is confident the virus could be largely behind us by memorial day. Later in the White House BriefingPresident Trump suggested his own theory about a possible way of attacking the virus. I see that the disinfectant would knock that out in a minute and is there way we can do Something Like that by injection inside or the cleaning. It gets into the lungs and does a tremendous number on that. Spent just for equivocation doctors do not advise injecting or drinking disinfectant and the cdc and other Health Professionals confirmed. Disinfectants are toxic and they can kill you. Online shopping has become more popular as we all hunker down and observe social distancing guidelines.

That is correct and that goes into sunday but then it is warmer again, all signs are warming up for everybody, up and over everything goes, the weather headlines have a lot of sunshine this will be the warmest day for most i would be hardpressed to get it up above 89 like travis yesterday, the fog returns this weekend and next tuesday looks hot but much cooler by next friday.

This month its being reserved differently because of the stay at home orders. As jessie says, its going hightech. Reporter hearmal remains in place as the muslims start the month long celebration. The muslim prayers call for people to line up shoulder to shoulder. That would make the possibility of spreading the virus a real possibility. Reporter they say that desire to flatten the curb is leading the leader to do the prayers online instead of mosques and community center. Its one of the five pillars of islam marked by prayer, fasting and community togethererness. Its on you being alive to worship. It does not help anyone nor your religious dedication if its the matter of death and life situation. The change is difficult for the 350,000 muslim in the bay area theres no meals to share or community prayers. Were going to be doing zoom dinner parties. Just bringing the food to the computer and have the dinner parties that way. Muslims are not the only group of worshippers impacted. Easter celebrations and services were cancelled this year for chris mans, and those of the jewish faith could not share the pass over experience because everybody was sheltered in place.

In henderson outside of las vegas, the hospital realized that its essential works were having a hard time finding the goods they transformed the cafeteria in to a Grocery Store selling food that it would otherwise have cooked. Theyre able to sell everything including cleaning supplies for wholesale prices. Ever since they opened this up, i have been doing like everyday i pass by and see what i can bring home. They will come in and see something that they cant get at a local Grocery Store whether thats a kleining product and they will grab that and they will head home after a long day of work then come back and take care of, you know, our family members that are here in the hospital. Now, richard wood started the program at a sister hospital nearby and shared the idea with others. Now, the hospitals in 28 states have similar programs. You have to pay bills. We have to survive. We have to live life. Theyre not being completely empathetic to our situation.
