else with you. this is a sign that spring has officially arrived. look at this drone video shot over the weekend. it shows the yellow wildflowers that have bloomed on the hills of napa valley. the flowers are bringing a pop of color to the valley. there are some flour fields in napa valley that are open for visiting if you want to check it out. if you do go, you are asked to be respectful and not cut the flowers. please don't trample the flowers. just be kind. admire the flowers. >> that is really pretty. i was up in the north bay this weekend and saw a lot of that happening. the lines of cars waiting to get their picture for instagram -- expected you get a picture? >> we just kept driving.

we were not too interested in the line. >> i saw you did post something from a winery, didn't you, on twitter? >> yeah. we went to -- i don't know how my goodness. it.at abc eo what a day. the wine, the sculptures, everything. >> everything we have been dreaming about for a year. you finally got to get out there. that is so awesome. that makes me feel good that you were able to do that. i saw a lot of people doing outdoor activities, also. here is a look at what is going on. it will be sunny today. not quite as warm as it has been especially over the weekend. i promise you, that is coming back into the forecast,

especially wednesday and thursday. before we get to that, tonight will be pretty windy especially out on our hills. make sure you have everything locked down and charged before you go to bed in case you do lose electricity. almost 20 degrees by the time we get to easter compared to wednesday and thursday. it was pretty quiet out there. that is the cold front that is coming through that will increase our winds through the afternoon. 69 to 72. 66 to 68. a little raw along the coast. look at those upper 50s with mid-60s in downtown. 74 along the north bay valley. warmer in the valleys, as you would expect. outdoor dining tonight, temperatures in the 50s at the coast. 68 to 74 at 5:00. still pretty nice.

we are in the 60s by 7:00. you can see what they do to our temperatures. my accuweather 7-day forecast is going to be warmest along the coast tomorrow. the rest of us are in the 70s and 80s and eventually 50s and 60s return for easter with rain late, not in the morning. >> thank you. the record just set by longtime california senator dianne feinstein. >> the cleanup crew that is helping to save

on the peninsula, volunteers helped to pick up ppe trash and pacifica. the volunteers found masks,

gloves, sanitary wipes and a lot of single-use plastic because so many people are eating takeout. supervisors say that a lot of it ends up in the ocean or in a storm drains that can be deadly to see life in birds. >> we want people to continue to wear their masks but at the same time, people need to dispose of them properly. >> there are five just from these two volunteers. just in about five minutes of time. >> one of the first things they do is clip the straps off of those masks so that fish can get caught of them. more than 30 volunteers end up filling 20 buckets of trash. san francisco's ocean beach transformed into a canvas. the earth's skate arp experience ventured out yesterday afternoon. the organizer explained the creative process. >> we come together and we tap

over it to remind myself that it is real. it is almost like a teddy bear to me now. it has been such a huge dream of mine to be published and to have this type of work to be available to people. >> the hill we climb is available starting tomorrow. let's take a look at what is coming up temperature-wise. today, one of the cooler days until we get to the weekend. tomorrow, we are back into the 70s everywhere except the coast. we are pretty darn close. i would not be surprised if some areas like daly city get into the 70s. look at the 80s returning as we look into the east bay and the north bay and 79 in san jose. look at wednesday. we have low to mid 80s in the south bay, the east bay. even leaking into the bay itself. 80 at haywood. nearly 80 in redwood city and oakland. low to mid 70s around san francisco. and you can see thursday, the

cooling trend starts to hit the coast into san francisco. still, mid to upper 70s for the rest of the day. the 80s hold on for one more day . a preview of that report from the world health organization detailing the origins of covid-19. goodbye distance-learning. one local school district welcomes younger students back to the classroom five days a week. girl scout cookies season coming to an end. the last day you can buy and the celebration for one standout girl scout who sold tens of thousands of cookies. a live look outside at 5:56. we will be right back.
