blankets and water. jackets. sweaters. a lot of items. farmers are receiving today. >> reporter: helping to coordinate events like this. and the need was there. once the word got out the line grew and grew and grew. for joaquin it is just all in a days work. >> helping those who harvest crops for our table. by giving them food for theirs. this is already a tough time of year for farmworkers. jobs are normally scarce in the winter compared to spring. several farms sustained a lot of damage to their properties and crops. and that will likely have some long-term impacts on their business. and the larger agricultural community in that area. to a silver lining from all the storms. the drought map map is painting a picture we haven't seen in years. paul hagan is here to show us all of that. destructive and even tragic as the stretch of weather has been it has had a huge impact on the drought situation. to put that in perspective let's look at what the drought monitor map look at one month ago. the bay area at least a moderate drought conditions. plenty of north bay and east bay in extreme drought conditions. the second-worst category. here's the latest update from the drought monitor the came out this morning. almost the entire bay area now in moderate drought conditions. severe drought has been pushed into the central valley even that is shrinking. the extreme drought has been completely erased from the map. that is what 24 days of extreme rainfall will do from a drought perspective. it is the same story across the state. 0% of the state and exceptional drought. 0% of the state extreme drought. less than 50% of california in severe drought. it is the first time since may of last year that none of the state is an exceptional drought. the first time since november of 2020 that we see that number being that low down to 43% in severe drought. the first time since april 2020 almost 3 years ago that none of california is in the worst 2 drought categories. while we need some time to recover from this long stretch of web weather. time to mentally decompress and cleanup. eventually we would like to get back into a normal wintry showery pattern. to help chip away at these existing drought conditions. the continuing drought conditions. we will see if that likely. when i come back with a full forecast. while the severe storms caused massive damage across the state local vineyards near sacramento are soaking it up. reporter andrew explains why the heavy rain is a good thing even farmers freshly fertile land. >> reporter: juliet winery general manager and mcewan jokes the vineyard has lakefront property. >> a flooded field next to the vineyard has enveloped some vines but it is nothing to worry about. >> right now hopefully with this beautiful son we are able to get back to normal. >> reporter: the vines are dormant the only worry is oversaturation. >> as long as it dries out within a good amount of time before we start before the fruit starts develop -- and we are still about a month from that. >> reporter: in courtland sarah grose pairs that eventually become emily cider. >> this has been a cold storm with lots of water but not too much water. it is actually been really good for us. >> reporter: some of these trees have been around for generations that are built for rain and floods. >> we handle -- they have a shower root system. >> reporter: the concern is timing. >> if we continue into february and march and we continue to grow we do have some concerns. >> reporter: and temperature. >> wintry start to bloom they become susceptible to mold and fungus is that can damage fruit . then if we get some rain in april and we have standing water then it is an issue. whereas now this is great. >> reporter: for the most part it can mean a good growing season ahead for everyone in california's breadbasket. growing season is not too far off. receiving the waters were a big boost farmers say that is quite enough for now. some people in south lake tahoe say they haven't had a visit from their letter carrier since the holidays. the postal service says the back to back snowstorm has played a big role in the disruptions. it

after the santa fe district attorney announced involuntary manslaughter charges against the actor for the 2021 shooting death of cinematographer helena hutchins on the set of the western film rest. >> what we are talking about is not an intentional killing. we are talking about a potentially lawful act. that you engage in but you are criminally negligent. >> reporter: movie armorer hannah gutierrez reed will be charged. the district attorney released a statement saying if any one of these three people baldwin gutierrez reed or assistant director david hall's had done their job helena hutchins will be alive today. it is that simple. the evidence clearly shows a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the rest film set. prosecutors reached a plea deal with hall's for negligence use of a deadly weapon. >> this is both surprising and not. a number of criminal defense attorneys were saying not only is there a lack of intent here but we are not sure that we see that level of criminal negligence. on the other hand what we saw from the prosecutor i think is that this was being planned for a while. >> reporter: during an october 2021 rehearsal baldwin was holding the popgun when it discharged a round. killing hutchins and injuring director joe souza. in a statement the actor's attorney called the charges a terrible miscarriage of justice. saying mr. baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live lid in the gun or anywhere on the movie set. gutierrez reed also denies any wrongdoing. prosecutors say they were formally file file charges by the end of the month. alec

effect in two months. businesses have a year to comply with the changes. we are getting a unique perspective on the destruction caused by those atmospheric rivers. the new images straight ahead. straightahead from levi stadium what was reiterated today. the quarterback does a lot of damage with his passing. but it is the ground game. rushing running the football. that is the 49ers identity. and they are going to need it sunday after blue skies it looks so good. >> we are so happy. >> still a little bit of light on the horizon at 5:45. the sunset times getting later and later. we edit -- my brain has melted and run out of my ear. we are getting a minute of extra daylight at the end of each day for the next month or two. it does make a difference. on the ground another earthquake in the last half hour. in far northern sonoma county just outside of -- registered as eight 3.6. you can add this to the list of earthquakes today. we had a cluster of quakes in southern santa clara county. 3.6 magnitude earlier. just little burps along the fault system around the bay area. what is happening weatherwise as we go to the next several days. we will stay dry for the weekend and into most of next week. officer wins for now delivering cooler air. but eventually temperatures are going to warm back up to near average as we head through the weekend. some passing clouds through the weekend. those are just going to filter the sunshine. they're not going to block it. cloud free through tonight. cloud free for most of the day friday. limited sunshine limited power of the sunshine in january not going to warm us up a lot. the passing clouds saturday in other pat passing clouds on sunday. they're not going to drop any precipitation again just filtering the sun not blocking it. ideally as i mentioned a few minutes ago we were talking about the drought situation. we would like a nice stretch of dry weather. the next 7 to 10 days. and then to get back into a normal winter pattern. at the deluge we pat the next 3 1/2 weeks. just passing systems that give us rain like we had last night. if you hundreds of an inch to maybe half an inch on the high end of things. but with the 6 to 10 day outlook shows us. that takes us through a week from sunday. the last we can of january significant chance of drier than normal conditions. most forecast models indicating zero rainfall through next weekend. but then the 8 to 14 day outlook through groundhog day shows a weak signal towards what are the normal conditions. not a return to the heavy rain but just an indication that maybe we will get back into a typical winter pattern. we still do need some additional rain eventually to help to chip away at the drought conditions across the state. high temps today spectacular sunset looking west from salesforce tower. only low to middle 50s. very similar temperatures in store for us tomorrow. right now we've got mostly low 50s on the map. down to 46 degrees in petaluma. those numbers would drop down to the 30s and lend with a mixture of upper 30s and low 40s around the bay in along the coast. temperatures below average but not record-setting and not very close. temperatures tomorrow once we start off chile. it is hard to make up ground in january with the limited amount of the sunshine. temperatures reaching to the low to middle 50s once again. if you spot to the northbay reaching into the upper 50s. we will return to near normal temperatures for the second half of the weekend. similar story as we head through all of next week. upper 50s and low 60s. it will take some getting used to for the next few days. completely rain free seven day forecast. the long-range data does show maybe some shower chances headed our way by late january into early february. time for a check what is ahead at six. we got used to it pretty quickly. coming up at six a slow-motion disaster in the east bay drone video shows the devastation were a home is sliding down

averages six yards per play. that is over the course of an entire season. that is huge. just following number 23. running back kristian mccaffrey. the run game has been certainly the star of this one. 49ers have run over 150 yards in each of the last 6 games. that is good for the faithful. and bad for the dallas rushing defense. which gives up the 11th most rushing yards this season. george kittle approves. >> we are going to play 49er football. that is run the ball. we are just going to run the football. >> just try to make everything manageable for brock. their number 1 for a reason. they do a good job. we will try to keep everything manageable and be physical on the run game.>> asked for dallas they are hoping their kicker finds his confidence again. he missed his first 4 extra point attempts in the cowboys 31-14 victory over the buccaneers. they did not need him in the wildcard round but running back ezequiel elliott says he will need his a game this weekend. i don't know what happened. last weekend. just let him know we have trust in him. that is our brother. we are not going to turn our back on him. last week we did not really need him. this week we probably will. >> trent williams is the best left tackle in the nfl. he doesn't lose too many one-on- one matchups. but he did go down last saturday. only it wasn't a seahawks defensive lineman. it was his own teammate. >> what was going through your head? >> you all hear somebody talking? i hear something that sounds like some -- >> security? can we get him out? he is interrupting my media session? we have some repairing to do.>> i apologize to trent williams. i'm sorry. >> sorry don't do nothing. i'm already -- everybody send me get my cleats lifted off the ground. sorry don't go far. >> and 49ers
