minutes speak on any item during public comment. okay. take a look at this tree comes down knocking. >> down a power line across the road in napa county yesterday morning. this happened on washington street in youngsville. nobody was hurt. but there were some minor power outages. and the sierra showing off some impressive snow totals. according to the california department of water resources. the state's snowpack is up to 86% of normal. so as you can see from the snowpack numbers, percentages are in a very good place. 79 up to 100% and the northern sierra things our way that compared to the state's first snowpack survey of the year. but experts say in a state with constant drought concerns, we can't get too comfortable. >> even though we have additional stored in our we want carry that forward. so we want average snowpack year this year and we want to ensure that we're still conserving our water as well to ensure that we can carry

that benefit forward as far into the future as possible. >> well, last year, snow total was the second largest on record at 7.54 inches. inches for more on that forecast that was turned over to a john traver who is actively been preparing us for guests. this us know if you want to drive up there. now you get to enjoy the snow and you can see how much is piled up. a lot resorts have seen over 100 inches of snowfall in just february alone, which is wild. and that's why, as you saw a minute ago, we have done so much catch-up work up there. >> 100% of average in the northern sierra a month ago. things were not looking so great. so this is awesome. january kicked into gear. february took it to the finish line for the northern sierra. and we do have some more on the way, but we do get a nice little break from in the meantime, where we're sitting right now across not just the sierra but the bay area is on a drier note of things. we are in fact, seeing weather out there today. that is going to

be pretty favorable for getting back outside. now, there we go looking at our north bay. we do have some dense fog having formed enough so that dense fog advisories are in place along 101 sonoma county and marin counties as well as napa and solano counties this morning. you can see out there that we do have fog. that is just as dense as yesterday for the north bay, but not quite as dense for the east bay. so improved conditions on 6, 85, 80 out in the east bay compared to yesterday. also improved on the roads and general dry skies from the sierra back to the bay. that's the way it's going to stay. not just today either but well into tomorrow for your friday. and then on into saturday and early sunday, at the very least, this is great. we have a lot of stuff going on this weekend. so this low pressure area. next storm system is waiting in the wings, not moving in just yet. in fact, really just stalls out. retrograde is a bit out in the pacific. eventually does dry itself a little bit near come

a late sunday and along with it will draw in some cool air from the northwest. this means sunday night into monday. we see our next round of rain and mountain snow fall looking likely between here and there, though it 60's and sunshine, a mix of upper 50's and low 60's today. saint bruno right at 60 degrees, foster city through mountain view each at 62 south bay temps, some of our warmest san jose and surrounding cities at 64 degrees today. mostly low 60's for the east bay. whether you're in lindor right along the bay shore, north bay temps, sonoma, right at 60 degrees, vallejo and benicia at 61. well, santa rosa also at 61 for your high today. looking ahead, tomorrow's temperatures a little bit warmer saturday lunar new year parade and looking amazing highs in the upper 60's to even low 70's, mostly sunny the skies love to see it. now sunday night into monday will see the return of some showers across the bay area briefly, but enough to get roadways wet for your monday morning commute. as for

roads right now, definitely an improvement along the bay bridges compared to yesterday. visibility is just fine and only 12 minutes right now. hopefully we can hold on to some decent commute conditions today. mateo bridge also at 12 minutes to make your crossing there and not talking nears much fog as yesterday. we do have some fog forming actively. so in the richmond, sandra fell bridge area as well as at the golden gate. also, cruise ship coming in under the golden gate this morning. that than that. but by there right now. all right, down the event. well, researchers at uc san francisco say they found a way to predict alzheimer's disease. >> up to 7 years before symptoms appear by using ai. researchers say they use data from more than 5 million patients to look for conditions and patients have been diagnosed with alzheimer's. they say utilize ai to spot these patterns can help determine what is driving that risk. >> we can try to understand how is the disease different in men and women and specifically in women with dana fide. also prosus as a

predictive feature. but i will say it's not still pro says it's a combination. all of the various things. in the clinical record, that one was just one of the strongest ones. >> well, researchers hope the approach can also be used with other hard to diagnose diseases. lawyers were back on the practice court wednesday after the all-star break. and they're getting ready to play the lakers tonight from 4 sports director jason dumas to explains the changes made to the starting lineup recently. >> before last week, the last time klay thompson had come off the bench was march. 12th 2012, the very next game. he entered the starting lineup because steph curry was shut down with ankle issues and the rest is history claim went on to start 727 straight games. but it sounds like the era of clay has a long-term starter has come to an end. steve kerr spoke inland on wednesday for the first time since bring in clay off the bench against the jazz last thursday. clay

responded, well, he scored a team high. 35 points and kerr liked what he saw so much so that he wants to see more of it. meanwhile, the rook brandon jet ski who has been scattered in and out of the starting lineup all year, looks like he's getting that spot permanently for the foreseeable future. skill set is very complimentary to jake can wigs in particular, rebounding taking moving the ball cutting. it seems to unlock that group. i'm really well. the numbers show at the the eye test shows it. and so i really like this this idea going forward you know, that starting 5. we're going to get chris paul chris paul and klay thompson coming off the bench. that's pretty good. >> and guess what? basketball fans who paid a premium for tickets to watch lebron james and the lakers tonight at chase center. the probably

going to be disappointed. lebron will be sitting out. to rest his sore left ankle. he did hint to this sunday at the all-star game. he said he will be using some of these games to get additional treatment for that ankle. there is a little bit of a concern that james will miss extended time. but the hope is the rest now allow him to finish the season, even stronger and we will be at that game tonight. i will have live coverage from chase center, starting in the 5 o'clock hour. all right. 5 o'clock hour. all right. that's a look at sports. so i didn't think i needed swiffer, until, i saw how easily it picked up my hair

every time i dried it! only takes a minute. look at that! the heavy duty cloths are extra thick, for amazing trap & lock. even for his hair. wow. and for dust, i love my heavy duty duster. the fluffy fibers trap dust on contact, up high and all around without having to lift a thing. i'm so hooked. you'll love swiffer. or your money back!
