(screaming) this commercial is now over. logo. three. no nonsense. just common sense.

over ten years. president biden is conceding this could be a loss at this point. some democrats said they would fight to make it permanent. we're not making this up. this is a very real thing. >> getting dizzy, having trouble focusing, feeling lightheaded? some covid patients say they still haven't fully recovered. plus bringing back students to san francisco classrooms. the deal just reached and how soon it could happen. major theme parks still are not allowed to reopen in california, but some lucky visitors will get to experience the disney magic again. i'm meteorologist sandy patel. rain is making a return this week. i'll show you when, coming up. first a look at what's coming up tonight on "jimmy kimmel live." jimmy? >> let me nurture your nazi hangover. >> nobody talks about the first six weeks after you have the baby. oh, my god! that's wild! what a roller

post-covid infections. abc7 news reporter kate larson explains how common these brain-related symptoms may actually be. >> you know what, i would rather have the covid infection five times in a row than what i've dealt with afterwards. >> reporter: gigi renee horatio was hospitalized with covid last spring. ten months later, she's experiencing serious brain-related symptoms. >> tonight, for instance, i started going to the store and i started feeling dizzy and was like, where am i going, so i turned around and went home. i'm almost like an alzheimer's patient. >> reporter: she's 58 and say her long covid symptoms make her unemployable. >> it's been hard. it's been really hard. >> reporter: frank was one of 200 people to test positive for covid back in march. now the small business owner is plagued with exhaustion and forgetfulness. >> i'm not able to do more th mh

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
