9:17 am
a common phrase that i come across for. many is working in the deputy sect, a restaurants we would use that amongst ourselves and it was a working itle to start with. but when i explain that to a japanese person that that might be the name and they laughed and thought it was really keep that now quite charming. and so, you know, you're going to something delicious force in just a moment here. but real quick, if you chose an open this business in san francisco, we've all heard about the different headlines about san francisco and how there are people who are chose choosing to leave the city. so why choose san francisco as the next place to open up such a beautiful rest always go against the tide. is my business to the opposite? that tends to work out well, but the truth is san francisco's not going anyway. it's a great city. yes, it's had its ups and experience to down. and i do think we're in a recovery stage right now say we like i'm a local now. >> you know, opening this restaurant and seeing the levels of business. it's the busiest restaurant. i own my group internationally. this one smashes all of them, sir. it was the right decision for

9:45 am
right now. you can see it's really trying to come very sparse with skies open up the activities mostly in the south, as you can see here from almost the south bay to the santa cruz mountains out to sea. and it's going to be points out that most of the action is going to be today. we have a little bit to keep an eye on in our backyard. we'll get to that in a bit right now. 70 fresh snow as we're also seeing in tahoe. and i know it looked like it was going to be over with, but we still have a little bit the way. but when winter weather advisory hanging up there for tahoe for the next couple of hours here. and again, note, the fact of the snow levels are going down to 4,000 feet from march. that's getting kind of lonely or use the expect that the winter months and this particular winter, we've had all that warm moisture bubbling up. so therefore, the snow levels were so high. so it's inverted from what you would expect here. but there is some gusty conditions and this is a good template for wednesday and watch out for friday to we get a better handle on all this forecast. short term noting rain coming here, wednesday harbor, the higher elevations that will be snow. temps hang in the 40's in the lower
9:46 am
elevation. here's a nice break in the action next couple days that your monday and your tuesday wednesday is that guy out there? let's get more local. hear what's going on for today. breaking the skies as we talked about. and that's what worried about. a little flare up in the afternoon right there during maximum daytime heating chance of a thunder shower. but at least maybe a little shower there to interrupt you focused mostly in the east bay. also in the south bay a little bit. maybe solano county. but to the west, it looks like you're not really going to be impacted by this here. so you're on the right piece of geography for this to go forward. still, some scattered clouds left over for monday, tuesday and so forth. rainfall totals. yeah, i don't have to worry about the rain bucket sitting out there collecting this pennies is all we've got going on here. alright. longer range forecast. here's the deal. here's the break wednesday. the other thing worth noting, not particularly bree copious in terms of how much moisture we're going compare speaking fast, moving another break develops thursday friday. the placement of this is important. we seeing a low like this before happened. it really drove some surface.
9:47 am
winds bring intense, but that was kind of perfect set up. and that came from the south to israel mile. this is from the north. so that means cold air aloft. you've got the surface winds working in there. so that may be a bit of an issue make note of and it might spark off some locally heavier storms because of that cold air is close to us. that will drive that. so something to keep in mind. and unfortunately, looks like it's kind of messy to the part here. it was a little cleaner in the early model runs earlier model runs lower 60's cover. a lot of the bay will see a little warm up in the next couple of days. before we go back again, there's your 7 day forecast watching wednesday with some winds and rain. more to come for friday and on into early next weekend. but i'm still hungry. stephanie, feel me >> all right, dave, thank you. the james beard foundation recently announced the winners of its america's classics award. that recognition is given to local restaurants, serving quality food and that reflect the character of their communities. it's an francisco. the honor went to mandalay in the richmond district. and joining us live
