The calls came into San Franciscos police and Fire Departments at 11 00 a. M. This Toyota Corolla struck and killed a pedestrian on sunset boulevard. The impact wedging the victims body in the windshield and knocking the shoes off his feet. Its horrible, an innocent person taken. Very sad.

It is clear out there tonight, but it is not going to stay that way. Our chief meteorologist, bill martin, is tracking more rain heading into the bay area. Fortunately, things have turned around. We are seeing a zonal flow or a flow off of the water. Thats something we really havent seen much of this year. December and january not offering this up. The southerly portion is starting to fire up. It pinched off the ridge of High Pressure and coming underneath it. We will see showers move into the bay area as we get into the next 24, 48, and 72 hours. Clouds out there, mostly cloudy. If i come in close, turn on the radar, we have been getting reports of some light sprinkles. Let me move that up for you, showing up along the coast in places like pacifica, not a big deal, just drop, but the moisture is here. It is moving in and its going to change the way we do business on our commute. Rain back in the bay area forecast, youll see it in the fiveday.

The dry weather brought the pigs closer to civilization. Wild pigs have been spotted in other parts of the bay area. These pigs were forging in san ramon last year. See how this is torn up . She has seen a dozen or more pigs at one time and worries about a confrontation. I think they are getting comfortable in this environment and that doesnt mean we are. When the problem first surfaced last fall, the San Jose CityCouncil Approved a three month ordinance that is about to expire. It allows state approved trappers to capture wild pigs and then kill them. Its a law supported by some environmental groups, in the three months the ordinance, trappers have not been able to capture any pig. Johnny is a San Jose City councilman. They had no luck. These animals are smarter than one would think. Supports extending the ordinance for another 12 months, then revisiting the issue a year from now. There hasnt been a long enough period to say its working or not. This is all dug up. This didnt used to be like this. Wagner has different feelings.

Supervisors follow through and San Jose Fire Department over its Emergency Response times. Supervisors voted unanimously today to withhold funding from the Fire Department. They say the department is not meeting its obligation to respond to 90 of medical emergencies. Its a story we first reported for you here at 5 00 and 6 00. Some residents said a fire last summer is an example of the problem. The fire broke out across from a fire station, but the station had no engine. The crews do respond on time nearly 88 of the time when all Emergency Responses are factored in. But it doesnt acknowledge it sometimes falls short on medical calls. County supervisors say their decision to withhold 600,000 may provide an incentive. We keep doing what were doing, were going to get what weve got, which is late arrival when peoples at risk. Not meeting response times is understandable. Whatever happens, whatever choice they make, the reality is, Public Safety needs to be a higher priority. They dont blame the firefighters who lost five engine companies. Supervisors say if the department can meet the 8 minute goal 90 of the time for three months in a row, it can get that money back. All right, lets go back to talking about our weather now and the key question is, are we looking at showers and potential rain later this week . We talked about this last night, the pattern shifted around for what we were seeing in december and january and seeing more of a moist weather pattern. You see those clouds, you saw them all day. Thats the moisture moving into the area. December and january was almost cloudless out there and look what we have now. Jet stream undercutting here, you can see it working its way under the ridge of High Pressure, theres a good subtropical moisture plume tapped into that. The dynamics are there, the moisture is there. Were going to see showers throughout the bay area as we head into the next two, three, eight or nine days, were going to have unsettled weather. Timing is going to be difficult because they arent together yet. But its going to produce rain. As we head into this evening, its going to be chilly. Overnight lows will be in the low 30s. 38 in vallejo and 37 in antioch. Partly cloudy out there right now. Partly cloudy and cool tonight. So with the clouds, you do get a little bit of a warm up. There will be clouds so instead of 29, 30 degrees, it will be 32, 33 degrees. Slightly warmer. Look for patchy fog. I mentioned this last night, the High Pressure drops down or shifted south. Also shifted north and left this cutoff southerly flow of the jet moving through the bay area as we go into this week and into next week. So, its game on for showers. How much are we going to get . Some models suggest over seven days, we will see seven inches of rain. That would be great. Here we are wednesday morning. 6 00 a. M. Tomorrow. Cloudy. Here comes the moisture. Thats your afternoon commute. I dont know if its going to be real wet. It will be showery, but the dynamics, theres not a strong low with this. That is your afternoon commute. Maybe some wet in the north bay and as we head into the evening hours, more rain. When i come back, ill outline that for you. These are the forecast rain fall totals. Perhaps an inch over wednesday night into thursday morning. Everybody else, a quart er of an inch. 55 in vallejo. Its something, and thats good. We have more somethings coming as we head into the next few days, into the next week. And theres thursday, wednesday night into thursday, a few scattered showers. Saturday and sunday look wet. So well watch it. See how it times out. Models are tieing this all together. When i come back, ill give you the details on what you can expect. Roll through thursday, friday, and saturday. Oh good. Well take what we can get. Thank you, bill. For just 50 a month, some bay area residents are getting a big spiel on water. How they scored it and why they dont think theyll run out.
