John ramos has the story. Reporter assisted living homes have been hit hard by the pandemic and those living in them are in a virtual lockdown with no guests allowed. With a little imagination, you can still celebrate mothers day. Romeo, romeo. Where for art thou romeo . Reporter William Shakespeare used a balcony to symbolize the yearning of loved ones kept a part. This morning balconies were used to bring them together. Were celebrating mothers day a little differently this year. Reporter families cannot enter the byron park assisted living facility in walnut creek so staff set up areas outside where they could greet their mothers and grandmothers from first floor balconies. You miss that, the friendliness of your family. Thats the hardest part, not being able to touch your mother. Just the little things. Just those little contacts that we all need. It has been difficult for clients and families alike but workers at byron park are doing all they can to soften the blow. Jean sullivan was waiting at the balcony a whole half hour before her kids arrived. I think it will be bittersweet. Its sweet in that people are taking care of me. The bitter part is im tired of talking to myself. Reporter she served in the navy in world war ii so shes seen her share of tough times. Ive asked her, i said mom, ats worse, thi world war ii . She said this. She said in world war ii, we were all together. And im completely separate. Were all separate. The family said theyre grateful for this moment even if it wasnt the mothers day they were hoping for. Theres no hugging. Theres no touching. Theres no mom, let me get you some cheese and crackers. Everything is at a distance but ill take it. Thats probably the best we can do right now, just take it till this thing is over because with apologies to William Shakespeare, everyone is hoping this is the last balcony scene theyll ever have to appear in. In walnut creek, john ramos, kpix 5. Here at kpix 5 were also celebrating our mothers from a distance. Some of our colleagues are sharing special shoutouts and a song to honor their moms.

Had no idea she could do that. I know, the secrets that lie beneath. Very cool. Lets focus on this change in the weather coming our way. And if you know what to look for when youre looking at the clouds coming in through the golden gate, you can oftentimes tell whats going on in the big picture. Thats the marine layer there. Its a lot higher than it was yesterday. Yesterday was coming in pretty much right over the deck of the golden gate bridge. Now its probably about 800 feet higher than that. Maybe even a little more. The High Pressure that had been in place, that had been warming us up so much and pushing down on the atmosphere which is what warms the temperatures was also capping this and pushing it down over the last few days so it can only come in about this high. Now its risen. The pressure has lightened. Usually when that happens, low pressure is approaching. In this case we actually have a case for some rain out of this tomorrow. In terms of temperatures today, theyre very similar to where they were yesterday for most of us except for those of us that are farther inland. Concord, livermore. You guys are 10 degrees cooler today than yesterday because we water able to pull more of that breeze and get that onshore flow your way. Lets time out this rain for tomorrow. This is the headline. Heres where we left off at the top of the newscast. Thats tomorrow getting us into the middle of the day right around noon. The leading edge of the rain is moving through sonoma county. At that point its not that impressive. Well probably set 0. 10 of an inch of rain. We cannot rule out the possibility that the showers old through the second half of monday. You might get just enough rain to say technically you got rain. And its not going to be a major soaker. That covers monday. Now were going to start tuesday. Thats midnight, tuesday, a second round comes in, same theme. Its going to be focused mainly on the north bay for sonoma county. But once again, cannot rule out the possibility for some of those stragglers like that one right there to work its way through the south and east bay, maybe come in right through the golden gate. If you add it all up and put rainfall totals on this, its not impressive. By 1 00 tomorrow we havent even gotten anything we can measure yet. But as we go through the overnight hours into tomorrow, the total starts to add up. We could pick up quarter of an inch of rain for santa rosa and less than 0. 10 of an inch of rain. Daytime highs will stay in line for what they were today. Mid 70s inland. Upper 60s for the bay. Two days for rain, monday, tuesday. Then we get a break. Then look at sunday. Theres another chance for some light rain at the end of next weekend. Well focus more on that one as we get closer to it. Back over to you guys. Hey, darren.
