after a cloudy start. take a look at our temperatures that will reach into the mid-60s. now keep in mind, we should be in the mid 50s this time of year and usually getting some rain, but you all of that is being held up to the north because of the high pressure that is blocking our storm track and we even have seen a lot of rain over the past week or so heading to the pacific case as high pree remains in control. so now that we do have a stretch of dry weather that will continue, let's get a look at how we're doing with the water year. in santa rosa, we are lacking 11.5 inches of rain from normal. so we've only measured 5.75. and san jose, we haven't even made an inch yet, so we need 5 inches too catch up to normal. and so as we look at all these names, we've only made 16% of our normal amount of rain. this is so sad.

and we didn't need it all at once, but we do need to try to catch up here. and so as we go through the like spring. concord, starting with mid-60s and then next week, we could reach into the low 70s here. we'll cool down, but the rain will be holding off. and for a long lot of people, upper 60s and near 70. as to get out and enjoy the nice warm weather. vianey, how about the commute? >> no weather issues, but we're noticing building traffic. but definitely better than having a crash. so where you reds and y yellows this is where it is starting tow
