of these cats with conditions and etcetera? >> well, it is a good question. i think that people who foster and interested in fostering, if they are fostering kittens, they definitely need to be sensitive to how fragile kittens are, we provide a lot of training and support to have them look out for certain things because kittens' immune system is not quite developed and so they can have colds and other conditions. we are always looking for foster parents for dogs who may have medical issues so people who are particularly have had pets or dogs before that have had skin conditions or you know needed orthopedic surgeries or etcetera, we are looking for people who have that experience. those are the types of cases that we need to support the shelter. we welcome people to contact us

breeze weakens and heading into tomorrow morning. that's where most of the guidance on our forecast models pointing at. you will see more orange at times and around the central bay right there and around 8:00 a.m. san francisco, you see a little bit of clearing there. that's the sign of the sea breeze picking up in to the evening. air equal issues likely to repeat in the same places tomorrow. the morning we got clouds, 50 to start and the morning trends begin. in land we'll start to see a chance of some low 90s. antioch, brentwood and concord and morgan hill and san martin getting closer to 90 degrees. we should see temperatures climbing towards monday and tuesday as high pressure builds. tomorrow night look closely at the humidity. that's at 8:30 at night. over night look how that actually begins to drop off on monday morning. this is something we'll watch and some of the higher elevations as high pressure

builds in, that's going to lead to some dryness at the atmosphere, hill top locations. we'll see warmer nights. we got favorable conditions on the fire lines. the pattern is going to reverse a little bit as we head towards tuesday. you can see the red on the map. and maybe another bit of a ramping up of the high pressure as we head towards friday and next weekend. we won't see big heat tomorrow, probably more dealing with some smoke and hazy skies. san francisco staying in the 70s. could see mid to upper 75 for the weekend. right now does not look as hot as two weeks ago. dry lightning in the forecast and trying to put a positive spin. in terms of fire diangers, it i going to be dry. no sign of any dry lightning.
