Drivers to slow down, especially with all these people out on the roadway. To be clear, oaklands slow streets is not to close any city streets, rather to limit traffic to locals only on certain residential streets and quarters. That means if youre driving in your own neighborhood, maybe getting a delivery to your home, those are okay, that is local only. This will apply to 74 miles of oakland streets, as you mentioned. Thats 10 of the citys roadways. Were taking this opportunity to try some new things. Oaklanders are very anxious right now, and really trying hard to adjust to a radically different reality. And we hope that this slow streets movement will help give some joy, some recreation, some exercise, in a safe and physically sdadistanced way to oakland families throughout the city. Reporter if you drive on a slow street without knowing it, you will not get a ticket at this point. This is an education campaign. But a city councilman is urging the sheriff to crack down on speeding and on the sideshows that have not let up during the shelter at home time. The extra space is not to create more space for you to recreate. Maybe get a pickup soccer game or pickup basketball game, or to gather. It really is intended to give more space to people who are coming and going from work and trying to get out to exercise. Watch out for those folks, there are more of them on the roadway. Nbc bay area news, kris sanchez. President trump is holding a News Conference right now. Scott mcgrew has been monitoring what the president is saying. Scott . Reporter good morning to you, marcus. Several in both parties have suggested that the president pare down these Daily Press Conferences to maybe once a week, the very conservative wall street journal of the Editorial Board suggested he make them shorter. They often run between 90 minutes and two hours. The question is is there news to be had. And we are monitoring and always are monitoring these press conferences to find any news that is new to you. Lets dip in and listen for just a minute. To ensure our Food Supply Chain is sound and plentiful. But we all know that that begins with our farmers, cattle men, producers, ranchers. Well be working with the small farmers, the big farmers, the cattlemen, the ranchers, all of the producers, well take care of them, were working with them now, we have a lot of money from use of tariffs and other means and were going to help out our farmers, and i dont think ill tell you, ive been helping our farmers for a couple of years because they were targeted, as you know, by china and others. And, uh, i think theyre very grateful for what weve done. On the medical front the fda the fda has issued 47 emergency use authorizations for advancements in testing new ventilator designs, innovations and personal protective equipment and experimental medicine. And dr. Hahn is going to be talking about that. Weve cut through the red tape to give doctors and patients unprecedented freedom to make their own health care decisions, granting access to potential therapies and drugs. Since monday weve deployed two major shipments of hydroxychloroquine from our National Reporter so we are continuing to listen to the president as he has his daily press conference. As you heard, some of the doctors will be speaking later. Well be paying attention to that as well. And marcus, if anything comes up that you need to know right away, i will alert you. All right, appreciate that, scott. We want to get another look at that press conference, well continue to follow this press conference and as scott was saying well give you all the information you need to know. Were also streaming it right now at nbcbayarea. Com. And yesterday, during this newscast, we actually brought you a story of a San Jose Church distributing food with cars lined up for miles. Today theres a Food Distribution at another church were lines started forming early this morning. Nbc bay areas Damian Trujillo is live in san jose with the latest. Damian, how is it looking out there now . Reporter marcus, its not as busy as it was yesterday at the cathedral of faith. Here we are at st. Lucys parish in campbell. They still have a lot of food boxes left. It looks like the cars that were lined up have come and gone with a couple of food boxes here. Many people were lined up early, since before 8 00 a. M. This morning. And the giving so far continues, volunteers here are waiting for folks who drive up. This food giveaway is put on by catholic charters and they alternate parishes day to day. Here theyre expecting 400 people. They know more may have been on the way so theyre standing by here. The need is great, people who lost their jobs or whose Social Security checks arent enough to make ends meet. Catholic charters called the entire region a disaster zone, so they will help anyone who drives up, together with Second Harvest food bank. Catholic charters is helping thousands of people every week, new faces who never asked for a handout before but who find themselves in a financial bind due to covid19. Organizers here know the impact of the virus is hitting both the rich and floor. The virus doesnt discriminate against anyone, rich and poor. So anyone is welcome to come in, we have people who are very poor, and people who were very well wealthy but have loss everything. People are out of work. Reporter tomorrow, the Food Distribution will be at santa teresa parish. At each parish, they have had their hands full, people in droves approaching the agency for help. They were hoping they would not have to turn anybody away today. Theyve had to do it in the past. Right now it seems like they still have several food boxes left. If anybody has a need out this, theyre taking people off the streets, if theres a need, theres food here for everybody at st. Lucys. Im Damian Trujillo, nbc bay area news. There certainly is a need out there. Damian, thank you. This sunday is easter, typically a day of joy for christians around the world. But amid the pandemic, its taken an unexpected turn. We spoke with a pastor from the cathedral of faith in san jose. Theres a sense of loss there. At the same time, the power of the easter message still goes on. You cant cancel easter. You can watch cathedral of faiths full service this Easter Sunday. It begins at 9 00 a. M. Right here on nbc bay area. And one church still plans to hold a massive Easter Sunday service. Theyre actually hoping people will drive in from across the south bay. It is happening at the capital drivein. The South Ridge Church of san jose actually purchased an fm transmitter. So on sunday, Easter Sunday, people will be able to drive up, tune into their fm frequency and listen to Easter Services by pastor micah. This is from inside their cars. You will need to preregister with South Ridge Church. At the time theyre having the services, the church will have a popup pantry and theyll give out 60,000 easter eggs for the children. The church will also offer up to 1,000 fabric masks. The bay area still has 4,400 confirmed cases of covid19. Santa clara county continues to be the hot zone with more than 1,400 cases. And there are now 118 deaths across the bay area. If youve already filed for your unemployment, you could start seeing a 600 weekly boost in your payment as early as sunday. I spoke with californias Lieutenant Governor about that this morning. Big news. So this is part of the c. A. R. E. S. Act signed last week by congress. It is a 2 trillion aid package to help people and businesses get through this. Heres what you need to know, that extra 600 will go out every week for the next four months along with your state payment that adds up to a maximum weekly benefit of about a thousand dollars. The pandemic unemployment assistance applies to claims dated march 29th through july 31st. Remember, at this time gig workers and selfemployed as well as freelancers are eligible as well. And in just the last month here in california, 2. 3 million new unemployment claims were filed in our state, and more people are still wait to go filfil waiting to file. Hundreds of Staff Members at the state employment offices volunteered to process those claims through the weekend. In san jose, leaders are looking ahead to see how they can get the economy back up and running. We spoke with san jose mayor sam liccardo earlier on today in the bay. He said the city needs to prepare for the worst when theyre trying to find Financial Stability after the pandemic. The depth of the kind of cuts well have to make will probably exceed even what we saw during the Great Recession based on the magnitude of these deficits. We all hope there may be federal money that could help or things may turn in different ways in the economy. Mayor liccardo says that the government is providing resources for those in need during the pandemic through Silicon Valley strong. But thousands of families still need help. Easter weekend is here. A live look at the golden gate bridge. A beautiful sight, the sun is shining. A lot different than earlier this morning. Kari hall is working from home and is giving us an update on the forecast. Kari, i love the look with the sun out and signing. Yeah, were even starting to see more sun if the south bay where we had very early this morning some rain moving through. So now were starting to see some more sun here, coming out from behind those clouds. And that will be the trend not only today but the rest of the weekend. As we check out our temperatures, were right now in the low 60s in concord and napa. Were on the low 60s for those highs as we go into this afternoon as well. Well continue to see our highs going up into the upper 60s. It looks really nice, still upper 50s along the coastline. As you make your way inland, youre looking at some upper 60s and low 70s. Ive seen that storm system thats been parked over Southern California continuing to move away. So well talk about our trend as we go into the next several days, well take a look at our easter weekend forecast coming up a little bit later, marcus. Thank you, kari. Coming up, we actually spoke to a bay area nurse who beat coronavirus. Her story, coming up next. New intelligence is bringing up questions over what and when china knew about the coronavirus outbreak. The concerns now being raised. But first, something good. Landmarks across the nation are showing support for Health Care Workers on the front lines. Take a look here, levis stadium, and an iconic landmark in new york city lit up in blue last night. We applaud them as well. Well be right back. Welcome back for you. One question a lot of people are having, over how china handled the coronavirus outbreak. Nbcs keir simmons reports from london. Reporter this morning, more questions over what china knew about the coronavirus and when. U. S. Officials telling nbc news they picked up intelligence in november that indicated there could be a Public Health issue, possibly an outbreak in wuhan, china. And with china now claiming few new cases and even fewer deaths, the u. S. Intelligence official tells us even now the white house has been briefed to be skeptical of chinas reporting. Their numbers seem to be a little bit on the light side. And im being nice when i say that. Reporter but chinese officials assert china has always been open, transparent, and responsible in its efforts. One study found chinas lockdown in january did delay the global spread of the virus. But earlier in january the World Health Organization tweeted that chinese authorities had found no clear evidence of human to human transmission, sparking questions about whether the organization was too trusting of the country. The White House Task force last week explaining their analysis of the early reports out of china. The medical community made interpreted the chinese data as, this was serious but smaller than anyone expected, because i think probably we were missing a significant amount of the data, now that we see what happened to italy and spain. Reporter we reached out to the Chinese Ambassador in washington who declined an interview. Keir simmons, nbc news, london. Health care workers on the front lines battling covid19 are at higher risk of being infected. One nurse at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center is sharing her experience after testing positive. She says her symptoms worsened shortly after she first started feeling sick. Probably a few days after i was really short of breath. It was hard to walk around the house for more than a minute or two at a time, i guess you would say lower rib cage pain, some stomach pain, and i had a headache that lasted gosh, i want to say maybe seven or eight days, and it was really bad. Brenee has recovered and is continuing to selfquarantine as a precaution. She says when approved, shell head back to the front lines to help. Theres plenty of sierra snow but people are being warned to stay away. Sierra Health Leaders say the health risks outweigh any rewards. We spoke with south lake tahoes mayor Jason Collins on today in the bay. Hes asking people who own a second home there, and visitors, to stay where they are. We just dont have the resources, we have a small Health Care System and theyre doing a great job managing the impacts of covid19 and are preparing for it to escalate. But we could be overrun really quickly. Happening today, a notouch Shopping Experience with no lines and its set to open in campbell. The drivethrough store is called flight and its like the one now operating at flights restaurant in los gatos. Each offers mostly essential items including the muchdesired toilet paper. Customers can order and actually pay online and then pick up those orders curbside. Marcus, you let me know if you need any toilet paper, thats one of the new normal topics. Were also wondering, normally on a friday we wonder what to do. City lights is closed for live theater but you can see the premiere of the show they had scheduled live. Also check out comedy sports. Saturday theyre going to have a live version. They continue with live matches, they do a battle version of improvisational comedy. Its familyfriendly and done through zoom. If you buy seats, you will contribute to the show as well. People have been contributing so maybe cool things of what theyve been doing to bring a new normal to their lives. Send it to me on facebook or twitter, its pretty cool. It is, thanks, mike. Coming up for you, a look at that forecast. Meteorologist kari hall has a look at what we can expect today. Its starting to look nice and sunny out there. Yes, it is, and we still have to remember that a lot of our parks are closed. You cannot get out there. Its always recommended that you stay in your neighborhood and also keep that social distance. I know its going to be hard out there with all this beautiful weather. In fact as we take a live look out there in lafayette, were starting to see still some clouds but some peeks of sunshine. Thats what were expecting going into the rest of the day. As we head over towards martinez, our temperatures will be in the upper 60s for the middle of the afternoon. It feels very comfortable, if youre at home open up those windows for fresh air, but keep in mind theres a high pollen count. And well see that as more trees and grasses start to populate those allergens into the air. Heres a look at our temperatures into the day. Well reach into the low 70s in concord and antioch. Were looking at low 70s in parts of the north bay. Were seen the storm system over Southern California still bringing rain around san diego. Weve been watching out for the possibility of some flooding, because this storm system has been parked there for the past several days. It has not moved, but it is slowly making its way out. Thats why were starting to get clearing here after some Early Morning rain moved through the bay area. That was all also associated with this storm system. If youre going to be grilling today, hanging out in the backyard, enjoying your friday, in santa rosa well see temperatures in the upper 60s at dinner time or as youre grilling. I think if youre having dinner around 6 00 to 7 00, its going to start to cool off, down into the low 60s. You may want to take that plate and head inside. As you look at what were expecting for the next a couple of weeks, weve seen our temperature trend really starting to warm up. Were seeing that in the forecast. So the Climate Prediction Center came out with an outlook of what were expecting for the next couple of weeks. Were looking at a big ridge of High Pressure thats going to warm up our temperatures well above normal. As we even take a look at this sevenday temperature trend, were seeing that too. Some upper 60s today. Thats about where we should be. Low 70s for tomorrow, thats also very normal. But then as we go into the end of the weekend into next week, well start to see our temperatures heating up. Were talking about some upper 70s, wouldnt be surprised if we even saw some 80degree temperatures by the end of this forecast. And it may not be til the end of next weekend when we get some rain again. Were looking at seven days of some dry weather here. San francisco in the low 60s, ten trending into the mid60s by the end of this sevenday forecast. So were in for a big warmup, marcus, into the next several days. Now that that rain is cleared, were going to finally get some sunshine in time for the weekend. Now back to you. I welcome it. Thank you. Coming up for you, dmv offices are closed statewide. So what can you do if that drivers license is about to expire . Our consumer investigator chris chmura has the answer for you. Walmart continues to hire workers, walmart has hired more than 100,000 new workers over the past three weeks to meet that demand during the covid19 outbreak.

But not everyone falls into that category. Tom in Mountain View told us hes one of those exceptions. Hes older than 70 and so is required to re new in person. Tom asks, what do i have to do . The answer is nothing right now. The dmv told us its giving drivers older than 70 an extra 120 days to renew. If thats you, expect a letter in the mail from the dmv. If youre younger than 70 and you have a safe driving record, you also get a break. You can now renew online through the end of may, no inperson visit is required. You might need to wait a little bit. The dmv says its in the process of updating its website to handle the additional load. Lots of people trying to renew online.

Something good for you this midday, during these times we all can use a really good friend. Speaking of which, we all, many of us anyway, know that song, youve got a friend in me from toy story.

This was a Southern California Radio Station who requested it, he wrote it and now were jamming to it. Coming up for you, we take you to the coronavirus hotspot, new york city. Well tell you how its holding up as the city tries to really flatten the curve. And the pandemic was supposed to be putting elective surgeries on hold. Why some doctors are being allowed to perform operations that dont appear to be essential. Thanks for joining us for an extended version of our midday newscast. Im marcus washington. Weve been monitoring the president s press conference going on right now at the white house. Up speaking is Vice President pence. Lets listen in for a moment. I say very respectfully to all the Church Communities around this country and places of worship, continue to heed the guidelines issued in the president s coronavirus guidelines for america. We know its difficult this time of year particularly, mr. President , to avoid gatherings of more than ten. But were grateful that so many churches, synagogues, and places of worship have done just that. And we urge you to continue to do it. To my Christian Brothers and sisters across the country, let me encourage you with the words we should all remember that jesus said, wherever two or more are gathered, there he is also. And so you can worship, you can celebrate easter and know that youll be blessed in so doing and youll be serving the nation. Thank you, mr. President. Great job, thank you. Okay. Its good friday. Lets be nice. All right. The president is about to take some questions. This is the covid19 Task Force Press conference. Well continue to monitor this. This is also streaming right now on nbcbayarea. Com. Now we want to go to the epicenter of the crisis here in america, both nationally and globally. New york state has more confirmed covid19 cases than any other country. Today the National Tennis center becomes a new Field Hospital and is set to see its first covid19 patients. The Indoor Training Center has been converted to a nearly 500bed hospital. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez reports the hope is that all those beds wont be needed. Reporter this morning in hardhit new york, the curve is flattening. The latest numbers show hospitalizations, icu admissions and intubations have slowed dramatically. We had 200 net increase in hospitalizations which you can see is the lowest number weve had since this nightmare started. Reporter but deaths spiked yet again to the highest level of the pandemic, nearly 800 lives lost in just 24 hours. So far, more than 7,000 have died in new york state alone, lead to go this startling site at a city cemetery. Workers in protective hazmat suits burying five times more unclaimed bodies in a mass grave. In new york, men are dying almost twice as often as women and nationally, theyre getting tested less. This is to all of our men out there, no matter what age group, if you have symptoms, you should be tested. Reporter still, while the Health System is stressed, its not over capacity. Though a new temporary hospital is set to open at the National Tennis center, the Javits Convention center was quartered to a hospital for 2,500 patients. It has fewer than 200 now. Mayor bill de blasio says he expects social distancing restrictions will stay in place here until at least midmay. You cannot for a moment get ahead of things and start counting your chickens before theyre hatched or this disease will have a resurgence and we could be worse off. Reporter still at mt. Sinai, dr. Ahmed sees hope returning. We hear good things every day. Reporter she got a text from a colleague before she started her night shift. Texted a number and said, this is the number of patients whose lives we have been saving over just the past day. Together were going to overcome this. Gabe gutierrez reporting there. More trouble for our bay area nursing homes. Another outbreak, this time in marin county. Health leaders say several people at drake terrace in san rafael have tested positive. One person has died. Meanwhile, a seventh person now has died at the Gateway Care Center senior facility in hayward. Alameda county Health Leaders confirmed that news yesterday, telling us 65 more residents and Staff Members have tested positive. The facility is currently under quarantine. B. A. R. T. Reportedly now looking at possible worst Case Scenarios in the event ridership doesnt bounce back over the coming months. The numbers are staggering. This week b. A. R. T. Ridership is down 94 . The examiner reporting b. A. R. T. Expects to lose over 70 million for the year in june. If stimulus money falls short, b. A. R. T. Says it may have to take drastic measures. Today is the deadline for California Property taxes. While theres no statewide extension in place for suddenlystruggling californians, some counties are allowing Property Owners to put off their payments until next month. New data shows how many san franciscans are struggling to pay rent. Hundreds of landlords were surveyed and 6 of renters were unable to pay rent, and many lost their jobs over the last three plus weeks. But landlords say another 16 have broken their leases and given 30day notices. East bay Health Leaders are making a new push to help the homeless make it in the bay during this shelter in place. 65 motel rooms are being offered in concord as part of the a partnership with contra costa county. People will be able to stay there for up to four months. And we are all making sacrifices right now to help stop the spread of the virus. Hospitals are supporting the move by postponing elective surgeries. But we found some bay area hospitals arent complying. Here is investing reporter candis nguyen. Reporter elective procedures are procedures that can wait. Doing them puts patients and staff at unnecessary risks of getting covid19. Doctors and nurses tell us those procedures are still going on and hospitals are turning a blind eye to the danger, possibly to pad their bottom line. This is Sutter Health San Francisco davey campus. Four operating room staffers tell us a surgeon continued to do elective Breast Reconstruction surgeries, defying orders. We were all very surprised. Reporter one agreed to speak with us anonymously, fearing retaliation. We would express to each other concern that these cases were happening. Reporter the cdc and u. S. Surgeon general instructed doctors to stand down on surgeries that can wait until after the pandemic to preserve hospital resources and reduce covid19 risks within hospitals. The San Francisco department of Public Health issued an order saying failure to comply constitutes an imminent threat and creates an immediate menace to Public Health. Many of us felt that there wasnt enough scrutiny in making sure that the cases that were being booked actually were truly emergencies. Reporter staffers say they became even more worried when someone in the operating room tested positive for covid. This is absolutely the wrong thing to do, to do elective surgery. Reporter dr. Scott levin is a surgeon and vice chair of the board of regents for the American College of surgeons. We had him look at a list of procedures performed by sutters Plastic Surgeon during the pandemic. This is a list we got from a source inside the hospital and had sutter review. If you can give a yes if yes, we have to do these right now, and no, if no, these can wait. Okay. Reporter breast capsulect y capsulectomy. No. Reporter Breast Implant change. No. Reporter breast tissue expander insertion. No. Reporter breast capsulectomy with implant removal and breast lift. Absolutely not. Thats anesthetic procedure. Reporter a procedure he says is dangerous. Even in an outpatient surgery, candice, that will probably happen to 40 to 50 people in a few hours. Reporter a study found out of 138 patients, more than 40 were infected while in the hospital. Nearly 30 of those infected were medical staff. Why would a surgeon continue to do these kind of surgeries and why would a hospital allow it . Well, you know, there are financial rewards for Health Systems. Reporter so youre saying its about money. That may be one motivation. Reporter an analysis of more than 1 Million Medicare cases shows hospitals earned on average 700 more for each patient for an elective procedure than those admitted through the emergency department. Postponing elective surgeries could cost hospitals buildings of dollars. The Health Systems of the surgeons who are choosing to operate are mitigating financial impact, but thats irresponsible and in my opinion unethical. Reporter both kaiser and uc davis freely admitted they are doing elective surgeries but said they are following cdc guidelines and only doing procedures that are time sensitive. A Sutter Health spokesperson says their hospitals are rescheduling surgeries that can be postponed. They are moving forward with elective surgeries that they decide are urgent. Now, the decision on whether a surgery is urgent or not, they say, is made by doctors and patients, and then reviewed by an independent contractor who is also a physician.

Ladies, we made it through another week at home together. Danni, youre so right, it has been a struggle at times but i think were all starting to get the hang of this new normal routine. Lets start off with some fun for the weekend in time for easter. We have an eggcellent project for you. Its springtime so its the perfect time to create an eggshell garden. And here to help us with that is emily and lila, hi, you two. Hi, malou. Great to see you. So, eggshell garden, huh . How do you do that . Were going to create an eggshell garden with a few things. We need some seeds, we need some rocks, some soil, and you can use some eggshells. You may have been scrambling some eggs, you can save your eggshells, and add some things to make a garden. Whats the first thing you do . We put a rock on the bottom, ill have lila help me, to create a little bit of drainage on the bottom. And then we can add some soil to it. Lila, you want to add some soil . Nice. And then we can add some seeds. We can add a seed, a few seeds to each one. So we can use we can make herb seeds in there or use seeds to make little flowers. Anything little. We did, for ours, for our demo, we did a fairy garden mix which includes some forgetmenots and poppy seeds. We add some more soil. Super fun. And then at the end we can spray it. Lila, do you want to spray it . Spray some water on there and give it a little bit of water to get it started. And thats all there is. How long before they start growing . It depends on the seed. It will take a few weeks for the little seedlings to start making roots and growing. When it outgrows its shell, you can plant it right into the garden. Its compostable. That way you dont have to transplant it, just put it right into the garden or a pot. I used to see in my grandmothers garden, eggshells in with the potted plants. The eggshells add calcium to the soil which helps things grow. You can add some color to your shells, you could dye your egg before you crack it open. That only takes a few minutes with some water and some dye into a glass, put that inadvertent for a few minutes, take it out, let it dry, crack open the eggs, use the contents for scrambled eggs, then you can plant that for some color. Nice. Lila, you want to hold one up for me . Can you grab one . Lets see. There you go. Beautiful job there, lila, thank you so much for helping out. An eggshell garden. Im good at scrambled eggs, im not good at planting an eggshell project. Take care, happy spring. Wow, malou, those are great ideas. We hope we can still enjoy some of the traditions of easter. This will be a very special easter and passover for all of us, one well never forget. Ladies, we havent experienced anything like this before and now more than ever, our faith will get us through this.

Just know were all with you. Thank you, thank you so much. Thank you doctors nurses. If you were looking for some sunshine this Easter Sunday weekend, youre in luck. Meteorologist kari hall has been tracking the forecast for us. Kari, looks like its going to be a sunny one. Yes, it will be a very nice weekend. In fact the storm system that brought us all of the rain throughout the week and the clouds has now moved out. As we take a look at our view at muir beach overlook, trails are closed, facilities are closed, and parking lots are closed. Do not drive here. But what we can do is look at our live cameras, or look back at our pictures from when we visited these spots before. But keep in mind theyre advising you to stay in your neighborhoods for the weekend, even though the weather will be really nice, dont get in your car and drive to see it. Were getting breaks in the clouds, were starting to see sunshine coming through and its looking very nice as we head towards this lunch hour. Looking at San Francisco, were seeing more sunshine here after a cloudy start to the day. And then our temperatures will head into the upper 60s and low 70s. In the north bay, were up to 70 degrees in ukiah. Well also see some upper 60s for many of our spots for the inland areas as well going into the weekend. So we have seen a lot of changes here over the past several days. In fact it was a cool start to the week. Were also watching whats happening elsewhere across the country. And so there was a big surge of some cool air thats been pushing across parts of the midwest now into the south. And this weekend, in the south, theyre looking out for the possibility that there could be a big, severe storm outbreak. This is mainly for louisiana, alabama, mississippi, moving over toward georgia as well. If you have family in some of those spots make sure you know they will need to keep an eye on the weather. Weve seen much cooler temperatures inducing into some of the areas where theyre also sheltering in place. As we bring it back home, if youre planning an Easter Egg Hunt tomorrow morning or sunday morning, maybe in the backyard with your kids, its going to be really nice. A little cool to start. Both days well see temperatures starting out in the mid50s. And then warming up into the mid60s going into the middle of the day into the afternoon. So we are looking at some, once again, changes ahead in our forecast, as well see a warmup here with our inland areas in the upper 60s and low 70s, then making it into the upper 70s next week. And for San Francisco, some low 60s for today and tomorrow. Then some mid60s in the rest of the forecast. Its going to feel very much like spring. And the rain that weve had recently moving out, we may not see any more rain until next weekend. So enjoy the fresh air and the comfortable temperatures this weekend.
