we look into the pacific, see what's going on with the ocean waters, and they are certainly very warm for this time of the year. anywhere from one to three degrees above normal signaling that el nino is under way. and it is doing the soaking rain in the south right now. another clue, hurricane andreas we have a category one storm. our first-named storm of the season and el nino favors a very active season. noaa gives it about a 30% chance that our el nino will move in in the winter season in the next couple months. it would favor a pretty rainy west coast and very rainy south. we're already seeing the rainy south right now. so hopefully we could see some of that moisture get funneled into the west coast. now there are no guarantees during an el nino season but the signals right now give us a better setup to see soaking rain later this year. >> all right, it would be great to see some rain here. so we're hoping for a strong el nino. >> desperately need it. thank you, spencer.

tracked back to a regular faucet. the marriott was sponsoring a charity fundraiser, associates will be able to donate $1 for the chance to dunk a leader the money raised going to the children's miracle network. we found the video on the website. these tanks have a capacity of 500 gallons but are usually filled to 450. hotel sales manager danny williams said a non-profit arranged this, not the marriott. we're not showing this employee's face, because he's critical of the dunk tank. >> i think it's a lack of respect for the community, a little bit although, you know, they have a swimming pool that they could use and suffice. >> reporter: minutes later the dunk tank was dismaptsed. we spotted a different one still empty on the freeway, and we followed it to the kit price prep storearatory school. the teacher said he wasn't authorized to talk on camera, but he said the school had been conserving water earlier knowing it would need to fill the dunk tank. but there's alternative to dunk tanks that don't require 450 gallons of freshwater. fun services in sunny veil offers one filled with 3500 balls instead that's drought friendly. >> we came up with the idea not only from a business standpoint but from an environmental standpoint, and i hope that it turns out to be a good thing. >> reporter: local and state agencies couldn't tell us if dunk tanks are covered

around here police have told, oh, and by the way, i want to add that the s.w.a.t. teams have also been on the scene so this is a big situation here. neighbors have been told to shelter in place. i'm told one apartment building was evacuated. others have not been at home. but, as you can see behind me, people are arriving. and being stopped right here and told that they cannot go past this

swiss cheese, then you may have noticed fewer holes in the cheese than over the years. situation scientists noticed it too. the milk is too clean. you can thank experts from a swiss agricultural

everything else. you got a question about cheese? send them to facebook and twitter. the next question, when parents die, who do we have to notify? they own their home outright. >> that's a great question. the bank, the government the insurance, car, home, if there's life insurance. credit cards basically, when you go to a funeral home, they basically have a checklist for you. grab that check list so that you have it. you will need to buy several death certificates. i get a lot of questions about this, because a lot of these guys are going to want a death certificate before they're going to move forward, that's why they say, when you want more than one, the answer is yes. >> where can i find the historic base usage that i'm being asked to reduce my water. >> oh, that's a great question. everyone's being asked to cut back about a third. but that doesn't mean you specifically. what most of the water companies now are doing are listing how much you used last year and how much you're using this year. but you may need to call your water company and/or bureau from your city, state, county whoever's giving you your water, and ask them what the cut back is. what do they expect out of you, and make sure you understand that. because there are some real fees and fines and i think it's going to get uglier by the time the summer goes. >> i just got a notice. the meter reader noticed a spike, and turns out we had a leak. lucked out there. should i get my own financing for a car before i head to the dealership or go with what they offer? >> it's kind of both. you want to

optimistic. our sister station in fresno tells us why. >> reporter: the drought could result in higher food prices. an arizona state study projected lettuce prices to spike 34%. broccoli 22%. grapes would go up 21%. and tomatoes would increase 19%. but fresno county farm bureau executive director ryan jacobson doesn't believe you'll get hit as hard in the checkout line as the predictioning indicate. >> i don't think it's something that consumers are going to see a massive increase on. >> reporter: barry bed well says you'll see more stable prices in the permanent crops, tree fruit nutting and grapevines however, it is possible row crops like lettuce and tomatoes could see a price hike. >> if the annual row crops where people have to make decisions due to the lack of water and not plant them, that could result in a shorter supply. >> reporter: bedwell says food prices have gone up in recent years, but he doesn't believe that was due to the drought. >> from our perspective, we've seen most price increases look to be due to demand rather than any reduction in supply. >> reporter: any crop shortages in california would likely be filled by foreign growers. >> i don't know
