department of water resources measured 22.5in of snow depth and a water equivalent of eight inches. that's 46% of average for that spot. when factoring in the other stations statewide, the snok is 65% of average for january 31st. at the beginning of january, it was 108%. officials attributing that to a dry spell. >> as you can see, when we don't accumulate some snow or rain, it it definitely hurts our our snowpack and it requires us to catch up. >> the hope now is that a week of wet weather will bring at least the northern half of the state to average or above average. promising news here in the bay area for valley water, where much of the water from the snowpack ends up in the local reservoirs that supply water to the south bay. those local reservoirs are at 72% of average for this time of year. >> seeing these storms coming is good news for us. hopefully they'll fill up our local reservoirs as well, but we are below average for this time of year. >> locally, valley water says the community has done a good

job maintaining conservation habits developed during the height of the statewide drought. >> you don't have to wait to a drought to make changes. it's a good idea to make those changes now because we know a drought is coming and you might as well be saving water and saving money now. >> while officials say water management will be key to keeping reservoirs full, they're still holding on to high hopes for the current and future storms. >> so we'll definitely need more storms throughout the next several months to make up for the very dry january. >> the next snow survey is tentatively scheduled for february 28th in the south bay. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> well, we're currently working on chipping away at that deficit right now. >> yeah, we saw that camera up in tahoe zephyr cove. we saw all the snow coming down and we're seeing the rain here. sandhya. yeah. >> winter is back. it is so nice to see emma and julian. let's take a look at a live picture right now from zephyr cove. because this is what we've been waiting for weeks now. chain controls right now, by the way, on state route four, 50 and 88. so if you are going up, be careful. watch out for

at the highest peaks we're looking at up to two feet. definitely carry those chains if you are going. morning. temperatures in the 40s and the 50s and umbrella weather sticking around for the afternoon. you will notice it's going to be windy. 50s and 60s. it is going to be milder though. that's one thing you will notice as that moisture plume brings in the warmer air mass. the accuweather seven day forecast. heavy rain at times with gusty winds. it's a level two for your saturday, a one for sunday, showers and breezy, a one for monday. it's going to be wet and windy. and then on tuesday colder storm drops the temperatures brings in a level two is what we're going with. the chance of showers on wednesday and then a one on thursday as that rainy pattern continues. so julian and we're going to be into e pattern that we expect in february. >> exactly. yeah. just get used to it. yeah, yeah. >> it's all good. >> settle in. yeah. >> thank you. sandy. >> well, tonight we bring you a story of resilience from a san jose woman whose family has been through a lot. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey has the inspiring story of

children here in the united states for nothing. >> now 21, she knows her parents would be proud because when life got tough, she got tougher. in san jose, dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> she is so inspiring. a huge congratulations to her. well, coming up next here oc seven news at six, a costco deal. and no, we're not talking about buying in bulk.

doctors believe there's no risk in people becoming addicted because they say it doesn't create the same high that opioids can. >> this is a oral pill that's prescribed. you take it twice a day for moderate to severe acute pain, as you mentioned. and it targets the pain receptors outside the brain to prevent that signal from getting to the brain. because it doesn't work in the brain, it doesn't carry the addictive potential that opioids do, for example. so it's a very valuable tool that we're going to have in our arsenal. >> again, it's called jarnovic. and it's the first painkiller approved by the fda in more than 20 years. >> it is the final day for the waterfront hotel in oakland. next, a look at the hole it leaves behind in jack london square. also ahead. >> i was angry. now i laugh about it because it's not real. it just isn't real. >> yeah. now he knows it's not real. but that's after he fell for an ai generated scam. the seven on y

national hockey league. only 18 years old celebrating already showing elite potential after an early season injury kept him sidelined. the rookie got such a tremendous wrist shot, just snaps it. rookies come on strong 16 goals, 21 assists. his father rick, is the warriors director of sports medicine and performance. so when macklin was a little kid, as he told our chris alvarez, he was in the warriors locker room all the time. >> when your dad got hired and when did you come out and maybe kind of hang out in the locker room and hang out at practice? kind of take me back to those days. >> it was it was it was amazing. especially at that age, watching some i mean, i didn't really watch much basketball growing up, but i mean, the older i got, the more i watched. and being around some of those guys that you watch on tv, it was more of like a it was like a really cool experience for, for a kid. >> were you starstruck at all by steph. draymond. >> 100% yeah. >> yeah just hanging out with steph and draymond. you know you
