guidelines when they open business because three counties are joining two other bay counties from moving from the purple tier to the less restrictive red tier. plow in san francisco have been on the wave of opening and closing and able to open with indoor dining. what can you expect when you visit a business in the three counties, san francisco, napa county, excuse me, that means gyms, fitness centers can open at 10% capacity. restaurants like this one can open at 25% capacity for indoor dining or 100 people, whichever is fewer and movie theaters can open at 25% or 100 people, whichever is fewer in that situation. museums, zoos and aquariums are now able to open at 25% se conference tuesday and revealed the reopening of a few other attractions that have not been able to open including outdoor recreation like ferris wheels, carousels and amusement park style trains. according to governor gavin

restrictions on indoor dining, bars and other businesses, which is counter to what the head of the cdc is saying we should be doing right now those new more contagious covid variants circulating, and the texas governor as we mentioned took it even further. >> effective next wednesday, all businesses of any type are allowed to open 100%.

on southward and possibly over three-quarters of an inch of rain for parts of the north bay. good to see that, but there's also additional rainfall in the forecast and in all we could see over an inch of rain across the bay area, with the highest amounts farther to the north. so we are going to trend toward a wetter pattern, starting on saturday, but in the meantime, we do still have some dry weather through the end of the work week, temperatures reaching into the upper 60s inland, and once again, we will have to plan around the rain, but it does look like some of the showers on saturday will come early in the morning for your planning purposes. mike, how is it looking heading out for work? of course we need to plan around the breaking news going on. >> yes, and it's looking like that news broke quicker than i could change this sign over here. let's look at the alert for the. peninsula. chp said lanes are cleared north 101 just shy of holly.
