>> welcome back. taking a live look now at mount tam, which is pretty much of scared at this moment by all that cloud cover out there. but it is looking really pretty out there at this hour. 9.10 this morning. dave, what are you checking well, it's not aggressive fog this morning with a layer of some dry air above and theory. this should mix out as we get the daytime heating. >> you know, it's a sun gives radiation of the ground which causes heat and starts to mix a little bit. that's going to the plus. but we will see some afternoon scattered clouds, not quite as clear as we have from yesterday, but not bad. it's the system towards our southwest and we're going to
9:12 am
be on the northern edge of this. now, the run today is a little different the we had from yesterday. it looks like it's going to be dipping to the south a lot quicker. there's that in totality here. and as you can see, most the weather. so she ate what is south of us. so will stay in the clear sector. pretty much so. but is that little chance of a stray shower for today afternoon. clouds build a little bit. whatever. and then tomorrow morning will start off with again. more that cloud cover. not so much. just fog. it will be more cloud cover with a hit or miss shower. maybe not. everybody is going to get it as you can see. but a spotty little shower here or there that drop south and will be a pop of winds ever. so briefly in the 20's before the winds subside, a little bit to just a breeze. and for today, not very active until that system drop south and there it is not enough to cause any wind advisory and winds into the 20's for the most part tonight, even getting up to the 30's so relatively. but 9 with that and we go into a dry pattern tuesday wednesday. oh, boy, thursday, different story because things change in a big way, but all together for you today. variable clouds mild with upper 60's near 70. that will probably happen in the
9:13 am
south bay early in the week. monday as clouds, a spotty shower. you know, ok, little hit or miss shower. then tuesday, wednesday, sunny. and it's i'll break, but not as warm as we have from saturday. it's winter taking over. boy are going to feel it by late in the week thursday on word that means next weekend and settled in. this is going to be a cold rain. it's going to be coming from the northwest gulf of alaska. that's a traditional pattern that these things take this time of year. we've been getting all this stuff in the lower latitudes lately. so it will be a little drier but will be colder. that's actually good. 61, san francisco open. 64 74 san jose and the big map. you see pretty much the south bay is where those numbers are popping to near about 70. not going to get more into that. that longer-range forecast good for tahoe. picking up more snow on that will certainly could use that. i'm gonna hop on over to stephanie stephanie. >> all right, a haha february is also adopt a rescued rabbit month. and there are many bunnies looking for a forever home right now.
9:14 am
>> so want to lend a helping paw this morning. joining us live now to share more is marcy berman, founder of save a bunny based in mill valley. new warning to marci stephanie, how you doing? i'm doing great, especially now that we've got these adorable friends with us in the studio so to start off tell us a bit about your rescue. >> well, we were founded in about 1999. when i found are bad as i was walking my dog him and i knew nothing about them. >> and so like a lot of people, i started thinking, they're cute, but maybe they're not. they don't have a whole lot to offer. but they really and that's how it started. in the more i learned, the more i learn that they were really the underdog. and i have a thing for the all and you've been rooting for the underdog for over 2 decades and else. yeah, just incredible. your rescues been around for quite sometime in the bay area and tell us a bit about the bunnies that you brought to show our viewers
9:15 am
today. they are available for adoption. these bunny said that brought today are available for adoption. artists ready to go there from of large-scale rescue that we did in petaluma in the there was someone who was breeding lying has these or lion heads, which is sort of a fancy bree. line has got a look like a lion. yeah. and so she was evicted from her property and she left behind dozens of rabbits and the horrific. conditions for all. and so we went in and we got them in. they've all been vetted you that and they're fabulous. they're fabulous. once you get to really know what it's like to live with the rabbit. it's open your heart forever. and it really are the cutest things very photogenic for folks are watching back at home. they're they're cute that they look almost like stuffed animals. there's they're very easy to handle these lion heads. moments,
9:16 am
right. happened is like is just like a cat or a dog or horse. they all have their very own personality as prey animals. they typically prefer to be on our laps. these bunnies. i brought because i know that they're ok will cain handled. and so when you want to adopt a rescue, grab it, you want adopt by personality and any good rescued. like save a bunny will know which rabbit is going to be the right. a family. ok, very good information there for people to know now for folks who are watching this, they're curious and they're interested in adopting what are some key things they should keep in mind that sure they get their home ready? well, they need to fund the proof because bunnies are smart. the most accurate representation of a bunny really is bugs bunny. they're smart. and so you must have a sense of humor. you not have a fragile ego because they will
9:17 am
make you, you know, they will make you know where you stand. time in the hierarchy of things. so what you want to do is you want to a nice, beautiful indoor space for them indoors. only so no outside hutch is. and they use a litter box just like a cat. so yeah, a quiet plus their beak. and so that's like having a vegan cat and thing you can share your food with them. so for example, you're having a salad they can join you from that's why they call it rabbit what's right now? they're very healthy. you know, if people have other pets in the home, is it a good idea to introduce a rabbit? it depends on the other pets, but i live in a multi species household. and so do most of our adopters. you just want to make sure that the bunny always has that choice and well behaved. cats well behaved dogs. they can all get along and often become best
9:18 am
lovely. and what about kids in the house? depending on the rapid depending on the child that's going make a joke about the litter box. but that's not where we were they it really depends on the match. and that's what we specialize in. and that's what's so important. is it you're adding a family member? and some a bunny who can live to be 10 to 15 years old. so you want to make sure that you get the right. the right match, of course, that the chemistry is there as well. so, you know, if there are other ways that people can support the if they may be, no, they're not quite ready for a rabbit yet, but maybe can they volunteer or donate? >> what they can volunteer, they can donate and fostering is super important. for example, we took in 31 rabbits from this rescue and we need to foster homes immediately to help these bunnies get socialized to help them. >> grow up because a lot of them were little babies. and so fostering is a wonderful
9:19 am
way to try out whether or not you want to live with a wrap it and most the time people and so we would really love some new foster's right now. okay. and then follow us on social donate. okay. of course. and we'd love to see people come and visit us a wonderful we were invited all. you so much. i i would love to play visit and look at this one getting excise waking up this morning. yes, yes, yes. she says she does. she is. she's going to remind you of who's the boss. >> so as we wrap up what's the best way to get in touch and get more information they can contact, save up money, dot org. we also have a text site follow us instagram, facebook we'd love we'd love to help you fall in love. we are following a look here in the studio. that's for sure. thank you so much. to more superman, founder of save a bunny in

9:24 am
are above average except for st. louis. and so that shows just still the last year's big water year is paying dividends with more storms in the forecast looking past this weekend. >> doctor schwartz says he's cautiously optimistic for the snow. california needs realistically speaking. the key number in the statewide summary is that 69% of the april first average. >> so we have been clawing our way back and it's been fantastic. but we do need the storm window to stay over. >> this week, the world marked 2 years since the invasion of ukraine. the area nonprofit noble ukraine says they are in dire need of donations, medical supplies for hospitals is a top priority. ukraine added that troops abroad need continued support from the west because they cannot fight off russia alone. >> 2 years later that the needs in ukraine. and so the challenges and ukraine haven't been. west. then when this all
