A lot of communities and counties are instituting the policy of people having to worry a Face Covering. Maybe not an n95 mask, but a Face Covering out in public. If your opinion, good idea . Well, i think its a good idea for a couple of reasons. One, we hope that that will reduce the possibility that an asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic person would infect someone else, so reduced transmission by somebody who is infected, and we hope that would have some effect on that likelihood. And the second is the hope is that reinforces the notion that we all are in a special time, if you will. We all need to be thinking about our behaviors and social distancing and things like that. And the one caveat is in people think they can cover their face, but then do everything they wanted to do before, in large crowds, mingle with a lot of people, not wash their hands anymore, that would be a mistake. In your opinion, what really has to happen next for us to proceed down this path to where we can get back . Well, i think we do need to see the leveling off of deaths and hospitalizations, which were seeing now in communities like San Francisco, indicating the transmission of the virus started to decline several weeks ago. So thats an indicator that transmission of the virus is going down.

No rain, but youre saying a little drizzle . Yeah, a little drizzle along the coast, especially tonight into early tomorrow morning. Possible again early sunday morning. Thats about it in terms of moisture. We are not going to see much rain at all over the next several days. Lets look at what you can expect as we head into the weekend. Well see low cloud cover sticking around tonight. Some of that patchy drizzle, but mainly along the coast. A mainly dry weekend, though. Onshore wind will keep everybody on the cool side. Farther away, well have a better chance of reaching to the upper 60s. More sunshine returns by the middle of next week, and its going to warm back up. And our rain chance we were tracking for monday is look less and less impressive. Temperatures reached up to the upper 60s for san jose. Only mid60s for concord, right at 60 in fremont. 59 grows to are a high in San Francisco. Temperatures tonight wont drop back too far because of that low cloud cover act like blanket.

Assuming that cloud cover breaks on little faster than it did today.

For the east bay, closer to 70 the market inland you go. Low 670ed for the most part around the bay itself. I think the city should climb back up to just above 60 for a high temperature. Mid60s for the north pay, and our neighbors to the north have a better chance of warming up a little bit more, but pretty much 60s area wide. Only a 20 rain chance on monday, and even that might be a stretch. It looks like the longrange outlook that takes it through the end of april shows a good chance of below average precipitation for most of california. Not much down the line. The forecast over the next several days, to rain in sight, but there is that warmup, especially more inland locations, as we look to the middle of next week.
