water in their area. >> reporter: it made lisa realize seem like a crazy idea to some at first, but like so many unconventional ideas that start in the city, like your hair, it will only grow. lisa is not only excited about the benefits for the environment, she says these small businesses will provide great employment for low-skilled workers and has a dream that students, ones who had newspaper routes could now travel the city on their bikes checking hair as a part time job. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. dangerous conditions on the coast today. take a look at the scene at pacificia earlier. a beach hazard remains in effect this evening because of dangerous rip currents and sneaker waves still that didn't stop surfers especially on a clear day with the sun out. >> it was great. can't beat it. it's really nice after the rain. got some waves and chilly out

third system dropping in will have the most rain out of the series. the projections now, cities in the valleys probably about an inch or two of rain and coastal hill tops as we add everything up in the north bay may see another four to six inches of rain once you add up all three storms. how it will time out in the seven-day forecast, storm one, two and three across the board starting up on wednesday. wind gusts at times could get up to 50 miles per hour so we may have to contend with more wind issues. friday looks gusty, as well. colder system there may drop snow on mount hamilton and mount diablo and friday to sunday, that one bears watching. each of the storms individually wouldn't cause flooding but by the time the third system rolls in, things saturated could have issues again for next weekend. >> all right. rob, thanks very much. still to come, a special meet andreat witthe sharks. >> a special honor for a world war ii veteran this weekend.
