6:47 pm
to say. my job is to set the expectations and the budget, but it's my it's my job to listen to my team because they're doing the work. and then collectively, we can come up with what's the best plan and you know, where we're going to go from there. >> there are more than 5000 acres of wine grapes planted in the valley and about 50 wineries. most of the wineries are in close proximity to one another, and a group of the valley's female winemakers and owners help each other and formed the women's wine collective. during our first harvest. >> and rhonda would during she's my neighbor across the street. and rhonda, you know, we were down there helping her, bring in their grapes and help crush and process them, when we need help, they're the first ones to come to aid us. it's a very collaborative community. it's so special that way. and is that because there's a lot of women involved? maybe it's like the
6:48 pm
strong, silent type. >> darcy kent, fifth generation owner of darcy kent vineyards almost famous wine company and garden of eden dispensary. >> it is a tough business. it's very physical, it's demanding year round. it requires everything from, you know, knowing how to drive a forklift and running a bottling line to a marketing and sales and being in front of a camera and pouring wine and all of that. it's all of that. >> the livermore valley is one of the original and oldest wine regions in the entire country, and 40% of the winemakers and wine owners are women. >> i was an airline pilot by trade, and i flew for us airways and they closed the base. >> meet rhonda wood, owner of wood family vineyards. >> when i was pregnant with my first born, harrison, who works for us now, i, i heard we
6:49 pm
couldn't fly. they wouldn't let us fly. so. >> because you're pregnant? >> yes. pregnant pilots could not fly. >> so she flew in another direction out here in livermore valley with my kids and strollers. >> and i saw this vineyard for sale. i was like, wow, this is right in our backyard. i mean, we're in the bay area. we could commute to our day jobs. we could buy this vineyard. we could build a house, we could raise our kids. and so that's what we did. >> but aren't women the best at multitasking? roberta gonzalez, ktvu, fox two news. >> and we had a pretty nice day out there today. not like last week when it was warm and hitting spring and temperatures in the 70s mid 70s. this week it's in the mid 60s and that's how it goes again tomorrow. here's the long range model which will mimic the five day forecast. here we are into tuesday. nice day like today wednesday the clouds start to increase and then by wednesday afternoon and evening see that right there. so that kind of
6:50 pm
tweaks through. that's a chance of showers on the afternoon commute. and then again perhaps on the thursday morning commute. and then you get thursday kind of kind of a wet day. cloudy in the afternoon. and then this area here friday and then into saturday. so that's how it looks right now. sunday looks like the nicest day on the weekend. that's going to change for sure. but the idea that that some iteration of that pattern is going to show up wednesday, thursday is going to happen. the next part of that, the friday, saturday, i'm not so sure about the timing on those in the, you know, how much rain we would get. here are the highs from today. highs tomorrow will be about the same. here we are outside where it's windy, windy, gusty, windy like 15 to 25 at oakland, downtown and sfo was gusting to 30. we had parts of out in the east bay out by alviso out there gusting to 30. the camera is bouncing around
6:51 pm
pretty good here on this camera. i think that's our emeryville camera. so that's a yeah that things moving around pretty pretty good. so gusting to 16 in novato they died down a little bit. it's not quite as windy as it was earlier 26 miles an hour at sfo and then 15 miles an hour sustained at livermore. so this is the system that i was depicting in that model. and it's going to drop down and then it's going to drop down even further as we go into the weekend. and how far, how far east that low goes on friday, saturday will determine how we do in terms of rainfall. the saturday may not be a half bad day, but it just depends. so let's get closer to that. but in the meantime, wednesday night into thursday is your sweet spot for some showers tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon, wednesday morning. here comes the wednesday afternoon evening and then thursday morning. kind of clearing out. and then the forecast highs. for tomorrow. so
6:52 pm
is that a lot of rain. no. will it be snow in the mountains. yes. there will be snow in the mountains. they'll see a good six inches i would think, from this steel. wednesday, thursday. and we'll see what happens after that. i'll see you back here tonight at ten. >> all right bill, thank you. shohei ohtani speaks publicly for the first time since the controversy surrounding his interpreter, allegations of gambling and theft of millions of dollars. jason
