if san francisco is in the red tier. if the city reaches the orange tier, vaccinations would not be required. with the spread of the coronavirus slowing, it is possible the city could move into the red tier next week. abc7 news is monitoring the covid-19 rollout in california with our vaccine tracker. our vaccine tracker also shows you when you might be able to get the vaccine in california. you can find this on our home page at abc7news.com. let's take you to the south bay now where people who were formerly helpless are now helping provide shelter to those in need. tiny homes are being set up along north 1st street. they were manufactured by workers who were once homeless. the cabins will provide temporary shelter to families in santa clara county. >> the families who are participating in this program are dealing with a lot of trauma of being homeless, and these little houses of hope will give them the critical services that they need in order to transition into permanent housing. >> there are on-site showers, bathrooms and laundry

facilities. each cabin has four bunk beds and is powered by solar energy. county officials say permanent housing for the homeless will eventually be built on site, but this is an encouraging stopgap there. let's turn our attention, ama, to the forecast as we start another week. we've enjoyed the sun, but it sounds like it might be changing a little bit. >> yaurks you can feel that change out there, sandhya. >> we had a lot of cloud cover today and it was a cooler afternoon. we're going to keep the clouds going, throw in maybe a few sprinkles. we've already seen on live doppler 7 some green showing up. most of that was not hitting the ground. it's what we call verga. it evaporates before it hits the ground. as you take a look here, that moisture will continue to stream in in the form of clouds to bait area, but there is a possibility that you may see a couple of raindrops, so don't be surprised if you do see those. temperatures tonight in the 40s and 50s with all the cloud

cover. here's a live view from our south beach camera looking at downtown san francisco and mostly cloudy for tomorrow, possibility of sprinkles, sunnier and milder wednesday. rain returns starting on wednesday. i want to show you those temperatures first thing in the morning. when you get going, i think an extra layer will do because it won't be that cold. most areas will be in the 40s and the 50s. as we head into the afternoon, this is where you will need that layer because it is still going to be on the cool side, especially 55 degrees in half moon bay, 57 in san francisco, low 60s from san rafael to napa, also livermore, concord area. mostly cloudy skies continuing. then we'll get a little more sunshine wednesday before the rain arrives on thursday. so by thursday afternoon, we're looking at wet weather here in the bay area continuing into the evening commute. as we go into friday morning, you will notice still some lingering showers. the mountains will be seeing snow, and the rainfall totals, it's very interesting to watch

this because the earlier model runs were not as much rainfall, but this model run is actually showing more rain than we saw earlier, so we're talking about most areas between half an inch to .9 of an inch. i warn you, though, there is a computer model going way lower on these rainfall totals. either way you're going to get rain between thursday and early friday, and it is going to turn to snow in the mountains right on through the holiday weekend. we're talking two feet at kirkwood, 8 inches the incline village. we sure need the snow. statewide snow pack is at 66% of average. mostly cloudy, maybe some sprinkles tomorrow. we're looking at a sunnier, milder day for wednesday before a level 1 system brings us wet, breezy conditions thursday into early friday. then another system comes in saturday late at night, possibility of a lingering shower or two on valentine's morning, but now it's start to go trend a little dryer on

sunday for valentine's day plans. it looks like a little bit of rain, beneficial every few days. i think we'll take it while we can. ama and dan? want to save hundreds on your wireless bill? with xfinity mobile you can. how about saving hundreds on the new samsung galaxy s21 ultra 5g? you can do that too. all on the most reliable network. sure thing!
