Live dhere s raining. Weav light in through sears point through hercules, up towards yountville and sfo just a few light returns hitting the peninsula now, over into oakland as well. So the Bigger Picture shows this weakening frontal boundary, an area of low pressure that is going to descend parallel over the bay area, close to it anyway, throughout the next 24 hours. So for today, looking at the light rain, scattered downpours, breezy at times, rainfall will be light, less than a quarter of an inch. It is mild in the 60s out there in many places. Upper 50s in the north bay and a little bit of fog. As we go through the 10 00 hour, we will be pretty much in the low to mid6. Nocehat weve got clouds around and a few scattered showers for the r re to me well talk about it and time it out in a few minutes. Liz . Lisa, thank you.

To move even faster. Liz kreutz is live to break down what we learned today. Liz . Hi, ama, thats right. A lot of the bay area counties seem to be splitting off a little bit from each other when it comes to these gradual steps to reopening. We learned that big news from San Francisco today and san mateo moving into phase 2. Here is what we know about all the counties in the bay area. When it comes to reopening the bay area, its baby steps forward. I am excited to announce some good news for a change. San Francisco Mayor london breed today announced that the city will formally enter phase 2 on monday and allow for all street side businesses to open for delivery and Curbside Pickup and for manufacturing and warehouses to reopen with modifications. Last week we made an announcement that it would only be a certain limited number of stores and locations. And now weve expanded that. Breed says that means 95 of businesses in San Francisco will be able to reopen, even if it is just partially.
Workers, weve had zero revenue for two months now. I just want to survive for my family. I have two kids. Most of the bay area set to allow partial reopening this week. But this morning some are getting desperate. Begging to push even further into the process. Another weekend showing us some spots that feel back to normal. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. We have much to get into the bay areas week ahead but we want to start with the rainy monday morning forecast. Heres lisa argen. Good morning, liz. You can see the cold front flipping to the south and east. Its a weak one but starting out in the east day from the San Ramon Valley, pleasanton, very light showers. Across the bridge to east palo alto, wet start to the sunday. Hills and looking at the actually the north bay that got a overnight. Heres the area of low pressure coming in tonight, with scattered showers becoming more wildly scattered today. Downpours later on and nice break in the north bay, san rafael partl
So it is a mild start. Well see the showers taper off. Scattered throughout the day, widely scattered so the bulk of temperatures in the 60s and another wave of showers moves through tonight. Well talk about this lasting into your monday coming up. Thanks, lisa. Sounds good, lisa, thank you. As we head into a new week, three bay area counties are moving into phase two of reopening tomorrow, San Francisco, san mateo and marin counties will start the second phase. This is the early stage of phase two, that does not mean dinein restaurants, shopping malls or schools can reopen, but here is what will be allowed in the three counties starting tomorrow. Curbside retail pickup, manufacturing, childcare for those outside of the essential workforce, outdoor museums, car washes and some offices where telework isnt possible. As for the rest of the bay area, alameda and Contra Costa County also follow in the same path beginning phase two sometime this week. Were waiting for what date exactly. Day.
