7:16 am
the east and the south bay. you would know that from looking at everything now. but remember, this low was so close to us. it's what's driving instability and it's all about lift into different types of environment. that's what drives everything are a quick check. we also have some sunshine here to how about this of in the background downtown san francisco getting the skies to open. so we're getting that in the action. but there's our pesky low. and remember, it's cold core. so it provides the lift and you get daytime heating on top of this, which we're getting. so the atmosphere warms and it rises when it rises. it doesn't have time to mix with the rest. the atmosphere and starts to precipitate out in terms of rain. it warms continues to rise. but about well, we don't have our typical inversion that we always have temperatures go straight now when you go right up. so these balloons, these air pockets keep going up. they're producing those thunder showers. that's what we're really concerned about. this just means the possibility is there. we'll see the pop-up of a few thunder showers anywhere in that zone. doesn't mean you're going to get it. but let's try to kind of narrow this down a little bit. there's your
7:17 am
daytime heating and just with the association, what looks like my happen, south bay peninsula, east bay right there about 4.30, with the daytime heating going on north bay. you may actually see some sunshine at that hour. so it's not to be the same for everybody at the same time. but because of this contrasts that we've got going on, potential steven sea water spouts out to sea, too. not unheard of ingthe winter months in the west coast. you see that a lot of southern california in december in january, so forth, but getting late in march, it's getting late long, the 2 for the winter months now. what happens on your sunday after a little shower overnight, we get daytime heating. looks like we're getting some of the development coming out of the sacramento valley potentially into the north bay to see a flare up briefly of a few showers. so we haven't put this to rest even on sunday, but i think it will have a better chance of of seeing morrison, less activity for sunday. then we will today. so again, not all clear, even though you see the sun coming out, looks like another puff of action going on here. offshore winds they referenced earlier. they'll hang for a
7:18 am
little while. no wind advisory longer. but look what happens at the very end of this. yes, we now have high pressure that's going to build. there's the contrast again. the low departing the high pressure building. so we're going to see nicer warm-up early into next week. briefly, we've got mid day breaking those showers which we're getting afternoon showers and thunderstorms. east bay, south bay concentration tomorrow. we'll call it a few scattered showers at that and brief temperatures. mid 60's. well inland next week. what's going on here? sunny, dry and warm unsubtle late in the week when i mean warm talking mid 70's. it looks like by the time we get the middle of the week are a little bit better that matter. get back to today. just underscoring the chance of that flare up today. 61 san francisco, oakland about 62 65. meanwhile for san jose, there's the temperature map and a little bit warmer down to the south bay to provide energy for those thunder showers there. so just go up a little bit in the atmosphere, stephanie, and it gets cold directly that means any air that gets rises with this low in everything it goes in or
7:19 am
environment can produces ice crystals for lighting and all that stuff or hail, too, is another possibility. got in a quick correction, too, for folks who are watching earlier about content chasen are actually starts at 09:00am. not able have this little break in the action. so that's good for the from the go. get the eggs that that's hours. >> in the afternoon things a little rough. so okay. but so hold on to those umbrellas. you okay. thanks so much, dave. one bay area lawmaker is launching an effort to keep funding for a pilot program connecting low-income californians to nutritious foods. our capitol correspondent eytan wallace takes a closer look. >> the trip to the grocery store and you'll probably notice produce and fresh fruits and vegetables are not cheap because of that for low-income californians, such grocery items cannot always be at the top of the grocery list. but there is one pilot program aiming to change that specifically for people on calfresh formally known as food stamps. here's how the pilot program works. cal first participants who spend their

8:46 am
perfectly right. so i have my glazed ham here. okay. and i just meet with my home a glaze. it's just really some maple syrup. a little bit of brown sugar and some apple apple cider vinegar now and then and then just some regular apple juice. and then you put it in the mixer. yes, i just turned up together. i based it a few times. and it's just a delicious covering to that him. so i already have my him. so i've that main dish coverage how about some fun sides? let's do it, ok? so right now, seasonally. we got carrots. just beautiful. carrots and roasted carrots are delicious because they get nice and sweet. when they're roasted. yes. you know, i want to make him a little sweeter. so i put a little bit of orange juice, a little bit of honey and i sprinkled a little bit of salt and pepper on these just to give some more flavor to them. and i raised yeah. and you know, sometimes kids dvn't want to eat their veggies. yes, that's that's
8:47 am
true. what i was a kid growing of spinach was not it for me, but i can i can do the carrots let's face it. kids love to dip carrots and other veggies into a death, right? right. maybe even like a ranch. so what i made is a yogurt sauce to go over this and this yogurt sauce really simple is just some creek, yo kirk, a bunch of parsley. a little bit of tuareg on a little bit of lemon juice. and it's going to look like yeah. so when the kids see it, think, oh, i'm going to give these carrots a try, right? and so to them is just drizzle a little bit of this delicious is that beautiful. at so much flavor to the dish? yeah, i like i said the kids will like it and keep it fresh. you know, i love to put another urbana. so a little bit of parsley on it. love the color town. yeah, beautiful. and you know, some think those roasting about o 25 minutes at 425 degrees. so while that's roasting, you can put something else in the oven at the exact same time and the
8:48 am
exact same temperatures making it a little easier. smart multitasking. yeah. so i love asparagus and this asparagus and create cheese that sounds so it sounds delicious sounds like maybe complicated or fancy, but it's really so i just i'm going to be honest. i thought my puff pastry, ok, i've made up before. it's very time consuming. so if you want to do that at home, great. but if you don't have time, go to the store and buy one. there's no shame in your game, right? let's go ahead and get it right. so i started off with my puff pastry. and what i did was i scored it some 4 with the fork because i don't want the center of it to pop, you know, pop, pop, pop, but i want sites to puff up. so i'm going to leave a little border around the sides where i did not puncture it with the forks because what does would cause that helps prevent right? the puffin us. okay. i want to keep the inside of this and the sun are with our beautiful
8:49 am
asparagus, nice and flat to good tip. so ok, so we did that. i put a little bit of dijon mustard i sprinkled the creator cheese, which if you can't find career at the store, a swiss cheese or anything that's melty delicious. my we love cheese, right? can't get enough of that, right? so why not put whatever cheese and then top it off. i'm going to drizzle just a little bit of extra virgin olive oil over the top. and then we need more cheese. what he thinks. yeah, let's do it. i say with out a little parmesan cheese and that's going to crisp up a little bit in the oven. so asked i'm going to put that in. like i said with. the carrots and they're going to roast together at the same time. so get that pam into the oven. when that comes out, rastan, you're ready to car. you can put the carrots and the asparagus in together cook 20 to 25 minutes each app. you've got them both at the same time, make life a little bit easier. and i love that again
8:50 am
that you're you're choosing to highlight the asparagus with be. and it's really just off. it's an offering that is also healthy, right? it is. and you know something. i made it where i could cut it off into portions here for. but if you want to roll your puff pastry out, you know, a little bit bigger. you can do 8 to 10 people and then cut it to whatever size you want. and then when people see it, it's so much easier to serve. it adds a little something extra like we said, who doesn't like she's on right of that. love that. now we have our big cam and we know there's a lot of things you can make with him. lot of different meals. i like to save the bone to split pea soup. oh, that's an interesting idea. that yeah. that screen that will still have enough for sandwiches. but i say after this big meal meant that we have on easter, why do we make a nice chopped salad? how unite and use some of our ham so it doesn't go to waste. and so i made a nice italian chopped salad here. and honestly, stephanie, you
8:51 am
can put whatever you like on it but i like to do the salami a little bit of provolone. um, i don't know if you want the spice or not, but you can put those up pickled how fun? and they will definitely add a little spice to this. and what i'd like to do if you want to add, i have the leftover ham. yeah, and i chopped up and if you want to go ahead and just on the side there and look at and then that way, it's kind of an arranged salad. so everybody can take as much as they want of the salad. ed. it looks beautiful. it's healthy. i get last block. i know we don't want to belittle the stubborn one. if it wants to come out. there it helpful. i mean, you've got the delicious i helped the 2. absolutely. and we got our delicious dressing to go over it. okay. i just didn't italian dressing, ok? really? just simple. at-home. extra virgin
8:52 am
olive oil. little bit of red wine vinegar. and i did a little oregano just that little bit of italian tie. love that. you make your own dressing for i love to its healthier. and plus, you know, when you get those big bottles, how many of us have a refrigerator full of that sort 5 different dressings that are halfway full. that is so goes to waste. so if you make a smaller one, you know, you're going to use that you're going to, you know, have something that's a little healthier because it's not going have any of the preservatives it's going to be all from, you know, scratch. so it's going to very cost effective. it is to. and honestly, for what goes into these dressings, pretty much have him in your pantry are ready at very rarely. do you not have, you know, vinegar, olive oil and some kind of seasoning, right? right. like i did oregano on this. but you could so easily at aragon or something else. so i just made some dressing up. put that on the side. i like to do mine into a little mason just a, you know, shake it up and then everybody can help themselves and you've kinda have a nicer dinner the
