>> you probably remember last year's winter storms that brought rain and flooding across the state. i mean, how could you forget this winter could bring even more rain with expected el nino conditions. >> as abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dawsey explains your work to prepare for the rain actually begins right now. >> now in the bay area, we went from hardly seeing any rain in the region to one of our wettest winters on record. but if you thought 2023 was bad an el nino year is approaching and the national weather service says that means we could see higher than normal rainfall last winter was an anomaly. >> this winter, it could be not necessarily repeat, but we could be wet again. and that could lead to widespread flooding. >> california flood preparedness week is the time for the community and agencies to think about their flood plans. but santa clara county's flood protection agency, valley waters preps are year round. during the rain, they're cleaning debris, monitoring river and creek levels and responding to flooding. but when it's dry, it's still all hands on deck,

working to try and ensure the flood doesn't happen in the first place. throughout the past summer, we've worked at 50 locations across the county to maintain our waterways and clear them of debris. that includes here at lower silver creek, where valley water just wrapped up a flood protection project. crews removed four feet of sediment and enough to span 11 city blocks, all to keep waters flowing without any blockages when the rains come. if we didn't do that, we'd have less and less room for water in the channel. >> and that would exacerbate flooding. so this is a very important program. >> valley water remains confident their creeks and rivers will be ready for flooding. the question is, are you? valley water says the best way you could be ready when the rain comes is sign up for alerts , have emergency kits ready and if needed, fill up sandbags. five sandbag locations can be found on valley water's website and are now open across the county and will remain open through april when the rain subsides. we may not see wet weather often, but the theme

here is to stay ready so you don't have to get ready. >> i think we all know that extreme weather is the new normal and we all need to be ready for storms and the potential for flooding in the south bay. >> dustin dorsey, abc seven news hoskey season could shorten by the end of the century due to climate change. >> a report from the desert research institute predicts temperatures will rise nearly nine degrees over the next 100 years. that means it'll be too warm for snow to be produced at the start and the end of a traditional ski season. average peak snowpack is estimated to drop as much as 80% by late century. we are getting some welcome snow in the sierra today. check it out. this video is from uc berkeley central sierra snow lab. you can see big fluffy flakes falling there earlier today. chain controls are in effect on 80 above donner lake. the first chain controls of the season. but, larry, i am really worried about the 80% drop in the snowpack that is so

much of the water we use. >> oh, absolutely. but you're talking about the end of the century. that's a long way to go. >> i mean, i worry ahead of time. >> well, clearly, i'm a planner when it comes to 70 years ahead. all right. well, you know, no snow, but spencer, definitely a chilly air, that's for sure. >> oh, chill here for sure. and the same cold front that's bringing us our little chill is producing that little dusting of snow right now in the sierra. so let's take a look at what's happening. here is our live doppler seven image with the satellite. and you can see the clouds sweeping through the area right now. that's the cold front to which we referred. there's a lot of moisture in that system, but not enough to produce any measurable precipitation here in the bay area. much of it is evaporating before it has the chance to even hit the ground. but when it gets over into those higher elevations of the sierra, of course, it hits the ground and is hitting the ground right now as light snow back here in the bay area, we have surface wind speeds right now from 15 to just over 20mph. and it's gusty in some spots like hayward and over in rio, vista, 21, 22 mile

per hour gusts. and what a temperature change in the last 24 hours, 13 degrees cooler in novato than at this time yesterday. also 13 degrees cooler in concord, livermore 15 degrees cooler. so that cold front is doing what? cold fronts often do, bringing our temperatures down. here's a view from sutro tower looking at increasingly cloudy skies over san francisco where it's 60 degrees right now. 63. oakland mountain view 64, mid to upper 60s at palo alto and san jose and 61 at half moon bay. and it's cloudy at the golden gate, although a few bright spots in the sky as well. 61 right now in santa rosa we have low 60s at novato and napa, fairfield and concord, mid seconds and 63 at livermore and the view is such as it is from the east bay hills camera. the clouds are getting thicker and lower and darker. these are our forecast headlines. the cold front is sweeping through right now. it will continue to moving through the bay area tonight. chilly inland valleys after that cold front passes through with minimal precipitation chances. but we can expect colder mornings tomorrow through the

weekend. so here's our forecast animation taking us into the late night hours by about 10:00 tonight, most of the clouds will be concentrated down south of the golden gate. it'll be clearing already in the north bay. and by five, 6:00 tomorrow morning, the front will be pretty much out of here. and we'll start the day with clear to sunny skies tomorrow. now, over in the sierra, as i mentioned, getting a dusting of snow from this system. most locations will get maybe an inch or less of snowfall. but in some of the higher elevations, like it done, it could be 2.5in or more low temperatures here tonight, mainly in the 40s, but dropping into the upper 30s in parts of the north north bay. highs tomorrow, low 60s coast. mitch upper 70s around the bay and mainly upper 60s to say mid to upper 70 upper 60s around the bay. i beg your pardon. and inland areas also mainly upper 60s 1 or 2 locations may top out at 70 degrees tomorrow and slightly cooler even on friday as clouds increase again and another slight slight chance. of

a sprinkle on friday going into the weekend, sunny skies with a little bit of a warming trend. a minor up and tuesday, halloween looks beautiful. just beautiful. i'm going to go with spencer christian trick or treating. >> there you go. >> let's see if they know. they can tell us apart. let's see if i get tricked or if i get a treat. yeah >> if you go as larry. oh, you're not getting any treats cold. >> but nobody can tell us apart so. >> no right. >> commonly mistaken for one another. >> thank you, larry. >> i mean, spencer. i mean larry. i mean, know. >> who knows? boy >> oh, it could be a new street name in san francisco. the city is proposing to name a street after conductor and composer michael tilson thomas mayor london breed proposed legislation to change the name of grove street in front of davies symphony hall to mtv way. tilson thomas served as music director of the san francisco symphony for 25 years. now, the orchestra's music director, laureate and in oakland today, long time community activist sherry hirota was honored with a

you, my fancy friends, what does getting the extra premium packages get you? >> yeah, i don't know that either. like fewer ads or like same program. >> there's no commercials. right. >> so then what? i mean, what is it? >> it's a good question. yeah, i wish i had the answer. yes, but what? it's premium. >> yes, it's got a premium experience. >> that's what it is. i don't know. >> i mean, i guess if you consider it like, oh, we're not going to the movies anymore, it's savings. i'll apply here. who knows? okay speaking of money, money, money is getting more expensive to buy a home, especially in the bay area. a new study has found that you need to earn more than $400,000 a year to buy a home in the two most expensive metro areas in the us. san francisco, co and san jose are the priciest by a lot. anaheim came in third and you need to earn $300,000 a year to afford a home. there you need to earn about a quarter of million dollars to afford oakland, which was fourth. wow >> it's unreal. >> well, that's just the monthly payments, i assume. who's coming up with a down payment, right?

because i mean, these properties are, you know, 1 to 3 million and up and a lot of people don't have savings to begin with. >> so how are they going to it's absurd. >> you know, spencer, you've got grandkids, kids, and i wonder what you think about when you look at the escalator, real estate prices and just where it's going to go and how that generation is going to be able to afford to buy property. >> and they live in a pricey area and they're not likely to be moving out of it in massachusetts. you know, suburban boston, which is way up there in the national picture, among the priciest places to live. i do wonder how they're going to be able to afford college and then how they're going to be able to afford to buy a house. yeah grandpa spencer, i was going to say the same thing. >> harsh reality. >> that's my grandpa spencer is still working. >> yeah. yes. >> music can not only soothe the savage beast, maybe i should listen to more music, huh? can ease your pain. in a study, participants were asked to listen to different kinds of music while receiving moderately painful stimuli in their inner

forearm. i'm thinking something similar to a hot cup of tea while being held against the skin or sitting next to kristen for an hour a day. >> oh my goodness. >> that in the script? >> no, it wasn't in that. was that ad libbed? oh, they sang pain was reduced when people listened to their favorite tunes . >> so, spencer, what would you like to step up and try this? give me your hand, spencer. >> inflict some pain on me. i'll think of james brown saying, i feel good. >> i'm a i. >> i could see where that would be the case. i'm worried for you right now, larry. there may not be any amount of music that can save you from the pain that is coming. >> oh, you mean from the person that sits near me? >> me? yes >> yes. yeah. you know what? >> no, i'm actually kind of worried because, like, pavlov's dogs, do we become, like, where we associate that music? so every time we're in a store, we hear it, we associate it with pain. no no, no, no, no.

>> the music eases your pain. >> yes. no, no. >> i know that's what the study says, but i'm wondering if another study should be done to see if it could also go the other way where we make that association. so in the future, when we hear that music actually the pain triggers come up a study of the study. >> yeah, that's like you said, kristen, you said earlier you worry ahead of time, right? so yeah, 70 years out, that's how she's all over the climate stuff. >> here's one way to encourage parents to make sure their kids are under control when they're out to dinner. georgia restaurant has added a fee for adults who are, quote, unable to parent it doesn't give a specific fee, but one person who posted a review on google says the owner charged them 50 bucks. they're not alone. a single restaurant charges a screaming children surcharge. and in new jersey, italian restaurant has banned children under ten amid a i knew if your kid misbehaves, you're necessarily a bad parent. >> no because they're still learning how to be in certain situations. as i will say, i'm lucky my kid, she's fine. she

just likes to color. we never do the screen or anything like that at a restaurant. but i also would not allow her to get up and run. it's not about the inability. it's like if she's going to get up and try to walk, i'm not going to let that happen right. see, that's the key. but i think we also need to remember that adults come from kids. does anybody remember that like you were once a kid? that's how you get to being, i believe larry is still a kid. >> you're right. >> you're right. >> but don't you get irritated if you see parents making no effort at all. >> yes. >> no. all the behavior of their kids. that's what irritates me, because then it'll give everybody else a bad name and then suddenly we're banned from a restaurant because we happen to have a kid. >> no matter. >> never mind behave or restaurant. how about on an airplane? oh like i'm willing to put that into law right now. let's get the tax going on that. and then and then, spencer, what you're mentioning is where the parents are just like, well, no effort at all. i'm just going to scream. >> yes. >> yeah, i agree with you guys on the no effort thing that's on the parent. but i think, you

know, a crying child sometimes will cry on a plane. yeah, yeah. >> you can't help that. >> sometimes i feel i might cry on a plane. >> i might cry sometimes i feel so sorry for the parent. >> like i wish i could do something, but i can't. okay. earplugs, earplugs. >> that's. >> get the window seat. she's crying. >> oh, that's a previous show. >> anyway, that's it for the welcome to big tobacco's fantasyland. a new, healthier world without cigarettes.

abc seven news insider phil matier phil mike johnson not a lot of people really that familiar with him. what do we know about him? >> he's from louisa. diana and you're right, a lot of people don't know about him. that's because he's been pretty much in the background. he's not exactly what we call an effervescent or an aggressive personality out there. he is getting the speakership by default because all of the people that are lined up that people thought had an inside track on this or possibly had the votes after they voted out, kevin mccarthy just didn't make it. but we have is a guy that is very conservative, anti-abortion, anti gay marriage trump supporter here that's got some people nervous. but he also is he's not from california. now, we suffered a blow when nancy pelosi stopped being speaker of the house because a lot of our money and our that we get from the feds comes through that congress right there. and when you have a democrat in charge, and especially one from

california and the bay area, things tend to come our way. kevin mccarthy was from southern california and although he wasn't exactly, you know, santa claus when it came to the bay area, he was out there, you know , trying to bring stuff to california. another thing that this new speaker johnson isn't is known as a fundraiser. and that's one of the key positions that a speaker of the house has. you raise money and help try to keep those people in their seats. this could be a question in california where there's about five republicans who are in districts that can swing either way. and some of them even voted for biden. so now they're going to have a tough time, possibly see if they have a super conservative who doesn't have fund raising capabilities back in washington. >> yeah. so this could have ramifications here. this whole process was really messy. i mean , like the fourth time's the charm. why did it really take so long to come to an agreement? because it was republicans fighting against each other for the most part. >> exactly. what we saw here was

rule by the minority. we had a majority that was ready to go with kevin mccarthy and keep things rolling on a on a controversial level. i mean, it was not all roses and such, but they decided some of them decided to toss him out. and getting those people along with the moderates together proved to be a very difficult choice. and chants of here, personalities, people, what were they saying publicly versus what they were doing behind the scenes? yeah it drew out. but, you know, larry, the thing is, there's one thing, you know, when it comes to politics, but then there's governance as well. and they have to decide within the next couple of weeks about whether or not to continue funding the us government, plus aid packages to israel, ukraine. there's a lot of things on the plate there now. it's when the going's going to start getting tough. >> all right. one more item i want to question you about. senator joni ernst of iowa is calling to shut down the federal building here in san francisco, saying it's unsafe because of conditions outside. and why is the senator from iowa weighing in on this? >> well, because it's politics

and public city. and she's calling the federal building, the nancy pelosi federal building that we've all covered the problems there, as she calls it, the haunted house. and it's no secret that that area has heavy problems with drugs. it has heavy problems with crimes. it's sort of become the epicenter as people and drug problem moves out of the tenderloin. it's moved into that neighborhood in august. the health and human services directors put out a memo saying that their workers encouraging them to work remotely. as a matter of fact, over personal concerns. so that is why it's making news. all right, phil, as always, thanks for the insight. >> abc seven news is a proud sponsor of a walk to end alzheimer's in two of our bay area communities. we are dedicated to shining a light on the impact of the disease. all timer's is the most common form of dementia and we're learning that older hispanic americans are one and a half times more likely to be diagnosed with it than older white americans. abc seven news anchor and race and

was. >> rosa noticed her mom's unusual forgetfulness years before the official alzheimer's diagnosis in 2014. though older hispanic americans are one and a half times more likely to be diagnosed with the disease than older white americans, rosa said it's a reality her community is often reluctant to accept, sometimes, especially as the latino community. >> we don't we don't want to get help. we don't want to say that somebody has alzheimer's because we tend to say, oh, he forgot. oh, it's because rose's mother would be in in out of nursing homes for several years. >> but after falling a third time while at a care facility, rosa brought her mother, maria, home and became her primary caretaker, putting her job as a tax preparer on the back burner. >> that was really depressing, really sad, and really, really depressing. seeing somebody like that. it's just it's hard through a season of life that

can feel isolating, rosa founds support and hope through the san jose chapter of the alzheimer's association. the caregivers feel abandoned. >> they need help. >> sandra green was rosa's first point of contact when she came in. >> she was one of the caregivers that was crying because she told me i didn't know about this disease. i don't know what to do. i feel helpless. >> as the alzheimer's association helped rosa find caretakers to step in so she could get a break and support groups to help her process the loss of her mother, maria, earlier this year. >> every week we used to meet and everybody talk about their experiences with the loved ones with alzheimer's. and sometimes i thought, oh, i don't have it that hard. >> as she reflects on the life she was able to give her mother in her final years, she said she wouldn't change a thing and has this message to anyone caring for a loved one with the disease. >> try to get help because there's support groups that can help you. >> you are not alone and neither
