and it's a different story. live doppler 7, a lot of cloud cover and in the pacific, it just keeps streaming in, right, from the southwest here, this moist plume. but we don't have enough lift to really wring out the showers everywhere. it's going to be confined to the north bay. 57 right now in hayward, good morning to you. 59 in oakland. certainly mild to muggy. upper 50s in the north bay with 55 on the coast. so as we go through the next few hours, here is what the plan is. you see the light showers there in the north and 10:00, still a lot of clouds. into the afternoon, it's sunny. in the east bay, even getting some sun in marin. the peninsula, nice afternoon. overnight, the clouds are with us again. early monday morning, we're dry, but we've got cloud cover increasing. here we are, 11:30. and there's a front moving into sonoma county, napa, and by the afternoon, a few sprinkles possible here in the north bay. so with that, we'll look for more sun today and more clouds for your monday. where do we stack up so far?

seems like we should be having more than this, right, 133% of normal for the season in santa rosa. 112% at the airport with season normal in livermore. livermore, a high of 70 today. with the sun, average highs in the mid-60s. and then we'll cool it off a bit with the clouds tomorrow, getting brisk on tuesday. and then the sunshine and warmer days for the middle of the week. so around the bay today, look for low 60s, limited sun here downtown. elsewhere, the peninsula, 68. nice afternoon in san mateo. 71 in palo alto. 74 in mofrgrgan hill. you're headed into town here for the giant's game. we'll have some sunshine. numbers in the low 60s throughout the afternoon. and the accuweather seven-day forecast featuring the showers north. otherwise, mild with some sunshine around the bay and inland. upper 60s to mid-70s. and we've got clouds and a few

more showers arriving tomorrow, 1 on our storm impact scale, we'll dry out on tuesday, but it will be a pretty brisk day. and midweek, we have more sun and more springlike conditions at the end of the week. so far, looking pretty good. so some pesky showers north. >> that sounds good, lisa. thank you. coming up, the business of being a rideshare driver. the guy one veteran driver plays to make the most money. fitting in good doesn't have to be hard. dive into satisfying flavors like creamy strawberry cheesecake. with twelve grams of protein and eighty calories,

at the rideshare business. we've heard from a lot of drivers that it's getting much tougher to make good money. in search for solutions, abc news anchor jessica castro rode along with a veteran driver to find out how he plays the game. >> hey, jessica. >> hi, how are you? >> reporter: jay carat rater is you might call a master rideshare driver and a survivor at a job that's purported to have heavy turnover. >> what happens often in life, you think it's easier than it is. you have to actually work and develop a skill set to become good at it. >> reporter: jay has been driving for both uber and lyft for the past three and a half years and he's given a lot of rides. >> 23,600 rides right now. >> reporter: so today, we're 23,601. >> that's correct. >> reporter: jay's not just a driver, he's a game player, searching for the winning strategy. >> it's all very gamefied. >> reporter: he's be so successful, he developed a side hustle with a popular website called the ride share guy and his own blog, rideshare dojo.

>> i've written probably a hundred articles and made videos, all about it. so i've really broken down what's -- how can a driver make the most money possible. >> reporter: that means working at least 50 hours a week, but he takes six weeks of vacation a year. >> my first three years, i made approximately $100,000 a year. after expenses, it's about $80,000. >> okay, 80 gra a year. >> yeah. >> reporter: but uber and lyft are lowering rates, so jay says the same hours won't be giving the same results. >> let's say at the low end, it's $65,000 that you clear after expenses. >> reporter: so it's more important than ever to drive smart. jay says the smartest thing you can do is drive in san francisco. >> i don't like driving in san jose and i don't like driving in oakland. the rates are lower than they are in san francisco and the demand isn't as high, so you don't stay as busy. >> reporter: but on weekends, it's a different strategy if you start early. >> you can do a lot of long rides in the morning and there's no traffic. so it's so great.

i'm hearing someone wants a ride over to oakland, but there's no traffic. we'll be there in like 15, 20 minutes. >> reporter: jay drove enough rides for lyft t qualify for worth of $1,000 worth of stock when the company went public. now he's driving more for uber, hoping to qualify for its stock. >> reporter: are you more satisfied being a driver for uber or a driver for lyft? >> probably the number one question my passengers ask. so purely as a driver, i prefer lyft. >> reporter: he says lyft pays a little more and the passengers seem friendlier. it's like cats and dogs. the uber passengers are like cats. they are just quieter, you know, not as responsive. whereas the lyft passengers are more like the dogs, you know, ha-ha, you know! >> i don't know what that says about me, because i only use lyft. >> that's good. they're friendlier. they're more open and like we're part of a club. >> reporter: jay says the best tips come from being a good listener, driving carefully, and after someone leaves something in your car, you return it.
