This is not a number one strawberry. So we in with the number twos or pick itufor juice, he says. Thec abnormal amount of rain cut their strawberry harvest down from eight months to just five, so we lost out on most of february production. On and ourt so were really farubehind this year because of the recent storms. The Carlsbad Strawberry Company says theyve lost out on about 80 boxes of strawberries per acre, and with 20 acres of farming, thats a loss of about 160,000 pounds of strawberries. An inch of rain will cause anything turning red to go bad. So really we were we had the same amount of labor. We were just having and throw it away. So we just had no income because we werent able to sell anything. So it made it really rough and just north in oceanside, its a similar story. While we do have some ripe strawberries, theyre few and far between, so we actually had to postpone this years season. Michelle castellanos family has been farming since 1925, and growing strawberries for the public to harvest since 2020. C this field that were standing in is our strawberry upick field, but this year they also have to delay their here. T some that havent turned red yet. And whats happened for theulast couple of weeks is theyve slowed down. So during a upick season, we would see a whole plant like that full of red strawberries like this. Whereas those are still white ae of more weeks. I have a feeling its about were about to get into good weather andc itll straighten ot some. So well make the most of it. And thats thats farming both the milano farm stand in oceanside and Carlsbad Strawberry Company are hoping to reopen their upick Strawberry Fields in the coming weeks. But here in carlsbad, the Carlsbad Strawberry Company just opened up their stance. You can come by and pick up some of the strawberries that they are able to harvest until they reopen their Strawberry Fields in the coming weeks. Reporting in carlsbad im zara barker, all right.

We had scattered showers last night to the tune of a quarter ofuan inch to ac q0th of an inch to ac few hundredths of an system pretty weak. But overnight came in and kind of messed a little bit with the morning commute. Little haze out there right now you can see what can you see. T just the haze, basically no fog to speak of. But tomorrow morning, valley fog, something we could be contending with. The High Pressure is building in, and that means valley fog. Thats one of the reasons that going to happen. But it also means generally fair weather and a little bit setting up and a wind advisory will go into effect on wednesday afternoon. The Central Valley is going to get pretty much the gist or the brunt of the winds, but itll bleed into parts of vacaville, napa and areas around fairfield and out towards davis. Itll funnel right down the centraluvalley. It lasts until thursday at 5 00. So breezy thoe north winds get in the valley. So if youre driving up 5 or 99, youre going to notice them starting tomorrow afternoon and into wednesday. So here are the wind forecast colors. Thats where the strongest winds are. And then they reallyugets going. Look at these winds on thursday afternoon. So you can see the purples. And theres a little more northeast in that wind on thursday. Shots and offshore probably be a little stronger in the bay area on thursday than it will be on wednesday. The forecast overnight lows is grea. A little bit of cloud cover will do that. A little bit of wind to the forecast forutomorrow morning and then tomorrow night. The forecast for thursday morning awesome. This will be at week coming up or the next few days as temperatures ratchet up its going to be back to spring essentially friday. We never back to not we, you know what i mean . It feels going to feel like spring. So heres fridayt morning and then we move on to t highs for tomorrow. And the winds will keep things a little mild onuwednesday or pardon me on thursday. ubut then they really start to warm up when those winds change up for us. And into the low mid 70s possibly. And in Southern California this weekend theyre going to have a similar a wind event. But they call that a santa ana wind. And that could be a problem forc them, as you know, with fires. And certainly low super low humidity. So well keep an eye on that. But looks like were in pretty good shape. Ill see you back here at six. All right. n well see you then, bill. Thank you.
