the heavy rain from san francisco on to the peninsula in the south bay, just not going to move much as it pushes into the south bay, the santa cruz mountains. think it might lift back north. by the time it pushes on through, we've already picked up several inches of rain. this is your wednesday where we've got rain in southern california, snow in the mountains. it will be a continual event in the sierra nevada, almost impossible conditions there. hazardous driving. by the time we get to the weekend, it's a much lighter system, even by friday. we'll see scattered showers. but look at the impressive rainfall totals behind this system. this is the light one. quarter to a third of an inch throughout the day today. then as we get towards your saturday night, we're still looking at anywhere from 3 to 4 inches for the entire bay area. 7 to 8 inches, maybe 10 in the santa cruz mountains. and we're looking at the snow, about 11 incmorning before the s ne get to your

tuesday, wednesday, thursday, we're talking 6, 7 feet possible. so it is going to be some epic snow there. 50 today for the high in vallejo, maybe low 50s at best, our level 1 system, the accuweather seven-day forecast, we have a break tomorrow and then rain by midday tuesday. our level 3 system on wednesday. it will be evolving. we'll watch it closely. we expect some flooding. check back with us for more fine-tuning for the midweek and the rest of the week forecast. liz? >> thank you. it's the main headline to watch going into this week, how the bay area, california, and the country can speed up the covid-19 vaccine distribution. it's critical to end the pandemic and why abc7 news is following the rollout as a big part of our work to build a better bay area. for more on the issue is san francisco supervisor matt haney representing district 6 of the tender loin, soma, and mission bay. thanks for being here. >> thank you for having me. good morning. >> good morning.

so as you know, san francisco's slow rollout has gained criticism. right now city has vaccinated just over 30,000 people, and there's well short of other populous bay area counties. why the low numbers? i believe you also toured the new mass vaccination site at the city college of san francisco this morning. does this opening mark the turning point? >> well, i just got back from the mass vaccination site, and things are slowly improving. as you may have known, i was very loudly saying that we needed sites like that. we need that one and many more of them. we need to improve our communications so that people know how to get appointments. there needs to be transparency. and we also of course need more vaccine doses. san francisco i think can do better with communicating with our residents, supporting our residents. this has been an incredible traumatic, painful year, and this last phase of it, this phase when we get the vaccine into people's arms, should not

cause more trauma. we should be celebrating this moment, and it takes us doing better here locally and now we have a federal partner who hopefully will get more vaccines and be better and more efficient with it. but i think things are starting to move in the right direction. i was very happy with what i saw this morning at the vaccine site. we're doing over 500 a day. ultimately, that site has the capacity do many thousands more than that. and we are ramping up. and i'm going to keep on pushing. >> i know that london breed has announced a goal of vaccinating all san franciscoens by the start of the summer. but as we mentioned, you have been critical and vocal on twitter about your frustrations with the handling of the rollout so far. i spoke to the mayor last week and asked her about that. just take a listen to what she had to say. so do you think so his frustrations are fair? >> well, i don't. i think -- i mean, he's a part of the leadership. he should be working with my office to address those

challenges ratter than being critical of the hardworking men and women of the department of public health, the folks who are working in our technology department, of all the people who have set up the kinds of systems in order to address this real challenge. >> so your response to that. is this rollout totally on the mayor? what are you doing to help fix it? >> sure. well, the frustrations that i'm expressing are the frustrations that my constituents are experiencing, not getting any answers, not knowing where to sign up, not knowing if they're eligible, when they were going to the mayor and to the department of public health, being told go talk to your private provider, who then told them to talk to the county. none of that was acceptable. a week ago, there was no way to sign up for updates, no transparent data or mass vaccination sites. finally some of that is starting to change. my role is both to provide oversight and accountability and yes to be supportive. i've been signing up volunteers,

making sure that we're making sites available. i've been supporting with my constituents, so they can get information. this has to be all hands on deck. i am excited to continue to work with the mayor on that. but our stilts are still in many cases in the dark in getting answers to basic questions. where, when, and how they're going to get this vaccine and who is going to let them know when it's their turn. so they need elected officials, whether it's the mayor or me, who gets those answers, but most importantly sets up a system that actually can distribute these vaccines efficiently and effectively. and i believe, you know, my role is to work with everyone to get that done. and we are moving in the right direction. sometimes that's going to mean criticism that people don't want to hear, but some of that criticism is reflecting people's experiences, and i think it will get us to a system that works better, and that is what our responsibility is. >> absolutely. i'm happy to hear that you are more optimistic this morning after touring that mass vaccination site for sure. i want to ask you about the bay

area's icu capacity. i'm not sure if you saw the new numbers on the state's website. the bay area at 23.4%. still not open. sacramento is open. do you think that the bay area should be able to reopen now? >> you know, the hospitalization numbers are trending in the right direction for the bay area for sure. we are at a point where imminently we should have the state order lifted from the bay area and we should be able to allow some of the activities that had been shut down. i've been saying for the last number of months i think activities like outdoor dining, outdoor activities more broadly, some of the restrictions on barbers and salons and personal services, those should be lifted. there are ways that people can do those things safely, particularly the outdoor activities. i'm hopeful this means we can get some things back to normal, and it really is a good sign

that we do -- we are now hitting our numbers with regards to icu capacity and hospitalizations. so i hope that the state orlandoer is lifted soon and we can ohm up some of these activities that are still restricted. >> i have 20 seconds. do you think everyone in san francisco vaccinated by june is a fair time line? >> yes. i think we can get it done. we have to build the capacity here to do it and we're beginning to do that. we need the supply, but i do think that the ply is going to ramp up dramatically. when that happens we have to be ready, and that's where my focus will be. >> supervisor matt haney, thank you so much. >> thank you. we'll take break on air, but get out your phone. you can see where your place in line is for the vaccine and tips to schedule an appointment. it's all part of our easy vaccine tracker tool. check it out

all right. before we go, let's get a final

with t rai light level 1 system, you can see the rain in the north bay spreading tohe south and east. we'll get the wind tonight, a break tomorrow, very heavy rain tuesday night into wednesday, possibly flooding for thursday. >> thank you. thanks for joining us here on "abc7 mornings." i'm made to move. but these days, i'm not getting out as much as i'd like to. that's why i take osteo bi-flex. it helps with occasional joint stiffness, while it nourishes and strengthens my joints for the long term. osteo bi-flex. because i'm made to move. my body is truly powerful. i have the power to lower my a1c. because my body can still make its own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it, lowering my blood sugar from the first dose.

once-weekly trulicity responds when my body needs it, 24/7. trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. it isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include indigestion, fatigue, belly pain, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting which can lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity.
