downtown space. by creating more housing, you can see 54% of voters in san francisco voted yes here on measure c. now, mayor breed was also a big backer of proposition e, which was hotly contested. it would allow police to install security cameras on public property and use drones to monitor certain crimes. it also speeds up reporting protocols for officers and use of force cases, as well as the police commission to get more feedback from the public. now prop you can see prop e here, 60% of voters voting yes. and now this is what we're looking at right now. prop f 63% of san francisco voters voting yes on prop f, which is an attempt to fix illegal drug use in the city. this measure would require anyone who is receiving county welfare and suspected of using drugs to undergo drug screenings, and to get some type of treatment to keep receiving those funds. as you can see, 63% of voters in san francisco
6:17 am
saying yes to prop f now, mayor breed shared this statement on measure f, prop f passing, saying in part, the passage of prop f shows that voters believe we must be both a city of compassion and accountability. we will now be working to implement it over the coming months, to make sure that we continue to offer people the critical support they need, while also being responsible in helping those with substance use disorder get the treatment they so badly need. now it's a waiting game to determine whether a state proposition one, championed by the governor is going to pass. so we're talking about prop one here. that would change the mental health services act and impose new requirements on how counties report and then spend money on mental health programs. it would also help to build more mental health facilities. san francisco voters we spoke with at city hall were split about this idea. supporters say it would help with the housing crisis and to help resolve some negative impacts that a lot of businesses are facing across the city.

6:19 am
weather company said it came to this conclusion after an extensive review of the data and consultation with their expert team of long range forecasters. meteorologists say the state's reservoirs are averaging around 118% of long time historic average, and that is thanks to last year's winter storms. now, this year, the rain in february and the recent blizzard we saw in the sierra also helped to push the state above historic averages. >> the plentiful rain and mountain snow of the recent years sets the groundwork for accuweather's forecast of no widespread drought in california for the next two years. >> now, we should note that while accuweather is projecting no widespread drought conditions, things may still dry out in local areas. >> there's new reaction to a decades old classic that you have to see a six year old boy from louisiana just saw the 1997 epic romance adventure titanic. and here's a reaction.

6:23 am
system. so stormy skies today. we'll get those temperatures in the upper 50s and the mid 60s for those daytime highs. here's the accuweather seven day forecast stormy today. but look at the payoff tomorrow. sunshine back here thursday and friday. over the weekend we bring back the clouds a spotty shower on saturday. drier on sunday with more rain next week. gloria. >> yeah you know, we do have some wet roads this morning, so it could be a slick commute for you. we're also following a sig alert right now. this is over in pinole on eastbound 80, and we're zooming in to show you exactly where this is happening. this is over at pinole valley road, and there was a two car crash here. one of the cars caught on fire and right now the right lane is blocked. so this is causing some delays here in pinole. and then looking over at your mass transit for this morning, we do have some cancellations this morning on the san francisco bay ferry. so if you take the ferry, check the website for the very latest information on those cancellations and those departures. and then ace three has some mechanical issues. so they are reporting up to 20 minute delays at this time. reggie aqui kumasi.
