and north carolina, and a state of emergency is still in effect in florida through thursday. and meteorologist lisa argent has been tracking debbie and lisa. i understand it is intensify right now, right? >> that's right. quickly because the sea surface temperatures anywhere from 3 to 4 degrees above average. so we'll get rapid intensification later on today. you can see all of that rain. it is situated now a right west southwest of tampa with winds of 65 miles an hour. the gusts are 75 miles an hour. moving to the north northwest at about 13. so it intensifies to a cat one tomorrow morning at 90 miles an hour. right there from northern florida to the peninsula where it transitions is where it's likely to hit. and then it slows down to a crawl. and so that is why it is going to spread anywhere from ten to maybe 20in of rain from northern georgia, southern south carolina . and then you notice it becomes

a it still holds together as it moves through cape hatteras into north carolina. and then all the way up the eastern seaboard. so there's a lot of rain associated with that, and it is going to have quite the track that will follow for the week ahead. and look at all the fog here. it is sunny now in the east bay. the north bay is mostly sunny but still holding on to the clouds there across the bay and you can see the breeze right here outside our window where temperatures are quite chilly right from the mid 50s to the upper 50s. low 60s in san jose and a look at walnut creek, where you see the low cloud deck still kind of holding on there. 58 santa rosa. it is 66 by the delta southwest winds. there keeping the breeze and the temperatures out of the upper 90s. today, 60 for concord and livermore. there is a look at the shark tank still have that fog and drizzle at the shoreline and it is going to be slower clearing throughout the afternoon for our coast. and then looking at today, tomorrow, very similar with temperatures a little bit above average inland . and then the heat arrives on

tuesday. it will loosen its grip on wednesday. so the winds throughout the afternoon, typical sea breeze that allows for a comfortable day. and in the south bay, it's cooler today you are near 90 degrees for many communities here. you'll be about 90 today in los gatos, but 85 in san jose on the peninsula. low 70s from menlo park, about five degrees cooler. redwood city, 82 for you, 73, in millbrae and some afternoon sun here with 67 downtown. that's shy of average up in the north bay. we'll see upper 80s for sonoma. pretty nice day for wine country 90. santa rosa and on the bay shore here, low 70s berkeley. some low 80s up towards castro valley. a warm to hot day here inland with 95 in pittsburgh, 93 concord and livermore. the accuweather seven day forecast mild to warm, even hot and spots today. little change tomorrow into your tuesday. the hottest day of the week. low 100 around antioch and fairfield, upper 90 livermore

and then for wednesday, still quite toasty. but looking at that cooldown, all across the bay into the weekend and so it wille near arage by the time we hit next weekend. gloria. >> all right, lisa, thank you so much. well, california's housing crisis is forcing lawmakers to think of new ways to get more people into neighborhoods that are already established, making housing less expensive may rely on creating more accessory dwelling units, or adus. abc7 news reporter leanne melendez tells us which cities are creating what some are calling a backyard revolution. >> just last month, san jose reported the median home price was nearly $1.4 million. that's an increase of 10% from the previous year. >> i couldn't afford to live here if i didn't buy my house, you know, 25 years ago. preach to the choir, sister, because many young people or families will never be able to live in san jose. >> that is, unless they consider buying one of these an accessory

dwelling unit, an adu. >> that adu pricing will be much lower than a traditional single family home. >> assembly member phil ting created legislation allowing homeowners to not only build an adu, but eventually sell it like you would a condo, and san jose is leading that trend. what i see is that you have your house there and it's so private. beginning here. this is a different world back here. yeah, the idea was when we developed the adu, we wanted to make sure whoever lived in the back house had the opportunity to have a lot of space. he paid $250,000 prior to the pandemic. for now, he rents out the 500 square foot adu. but he is thinking of subdividing the property and selling it. adu and all to his in-laws, who otherwise could not afford to move to san jose. >> this now gives them the opportunity to actually own in san jose at a lower price point, and also be closer to us, so it's kind of a win win.

>> san jose has allowed the fast tracking of adus since 2019, 1310 adus have been built here, literally from start to finish. >> it took four months. >> joyce higashi wanted the extra rental income. so how about, you know, plumbing, electricity, all those all those things they they take into consideration. >> they tell you whether or not it can be done. they came in and laid the foundation. they did all the trenching for the all the utilities when it came time to deliver the unit, a giant crane lifted the adu over her main house and onto its foundation. >> it took a total of four minutes. the city of berkeley is expected to allow homeowners to sell adus like a condo. council member rashi cezar says it may happen this year. >> it would essentially work in the way that a homeowners association would for a condo. >> i actually grew up in a condo, and so you know, my parents paid property taxes. we had our trash bins, everything

was as if we owned you know, just like a single family home. >> this book is for homeowners who want to build an adu. >> cole peterson is an expert on the process of building adus. he's based in portland, where there are more adus per capita than anywhere in the country. so that's kind of the biggest misconception is just like, how much is cost? >> and then then but then the important thing to understand is like, well, even if it cost $500,000, what's the return on investment? >> and so in the bay area, obviously, yeah, things are expensive to build, but you can also get huge amounts of rental income from these things. so it might be a very rational investment. >> san jose has received four times as many applications to build adus as san francisco has, so far. san francisco has built 937 adus since 2019. the san francisco planning department acknowledged that adus are easier to build in san jose, with large, lots more easily

lending themselves to modular structures and pre-approved designs. here's one example of the challenges san francisco faces. notice how higashi and kieran's properties have separate entrances to their adus. san francisco homes usually have no access to the rear yard from the street, and there isn't always room to build them. but the city is allowing some homeowners to convert a garage into a small adu accessory dwelling units, you're right, are fully independent dwelling, so yeah, they have their own kitchen, their own bathroom. ryan o'neill is the founder of the website how to adu. he says california is on the cutting edge of the adu movement. >> 1 in 5 units last year for new home construction. >> we're actually adu permits in the state of california. >> that's really exciting because that's incremental homes. >> it's a lot of housing that wouldn't exist otherwise. >> leanne melendez, abc seven
