good morning. i know i usually show a plant of the day, but now i have multiple. we have fill den drons, neon,

green. snow queen back there. we've got a little bit of everything in today's backdrop. if you're going out plant shopping or gardening today, perfect day for it. temperatures will be comfortable. a little warmer though, about 51 right now in san jose. take a look at the temperature trends. of course, it's hazy out there. we've definitely got cloud cover around the coastline. by the afternoon, we will warm up beautifully into the 70s. let's look at how doppler radar is doing. we had a couple wind advisories earlier this week. in addition to that, we have basketball monitoring storms in the sierra. that's a good thing. we need the snow up there. we will not get much rain here locally in the bay area but as the storm system continues to move out into the weekend, we are going to move up here with high pressure dominating. let's take a tour of the bay area. 73 san jose, 75 morgan hill.

check out cupertino at 73. concord 76, antioch, 77, oakland 66. we will get a light breeze. not as windy but we will still see a shift into the afternoon with the winds. if you're heading to the city, winds are about 18 miles per hour. temperatures in the 60s. let's get to the drought monitor. i want to show it to you again because it's important. we reached the d-4 category, which is now officially an exceptional drought. notice the maroon color, portions of the north and east bay. but what does it mean for you? i will get to that in a second. i also want to show you a beautiful shot of south lay tahoe. they had a stormy day. but we're only at about 2% average. and you might think what does the sierra snowpack have to do

with drought? they provide a water supply during the spring when it melts and it heads into our reservoirs and streams and good stuff. but right now with the exceptional drought, we are seeing a lack of rain throughout the entire bay area. this is what it could mean for you. instead of having an actual fire season, it could turn into a year-around fire season, which means fire starts sooner and quicker. also water shortages in some areas or, you know, restrictions. the fields are shallow and it could bring an increase in food prices. and mortality rates are high without the moisture. think of the fires around us and we've seen poor air quality. the high pressure builds and tends to trap in smoke or debris or particles right at the surface. these are some of the impacts they could have. the next seven days, we're not monitoring rain. it will be breezy with temperatures warming up into the 80s. >> wow, 80s.
