said -- >> in order to keep up our needs of the agriculture, and in terms of the urban environment and suburbs environment, we will need to capture half of the rain water and let only half spill into the ocean. >> it's nice to see. starting today students at the al phaupbt cases will be tested for covid. parents must opt in for the child to be tested. our kris sanchez is look into how they paved the way for that

a very good morning to you. take a look at this. this is a live look at highway 80 at king vail. do you see that white stuff there? yeah, snow. all lanes are back open, however you do need chains if you are going past truckee. it's amazing to say that, because we anticipated rain and snow for so long and there you go, there you see it.

i'm excited. >> i am excited, too. >> a trip for you. >> it's still snowing. take a look at our radar, still coming down and the forecast was for about two to eight inches. once this all wraps up and somebody goes out and sticks the ruler into the totals are. looking forward to that once the sun rises this morning. the 7-day forecast at the bottom of the screen. a cool layer moving in behind the rain and snow we're seeing in the sierra. our temperatures today, only in the low to mid-60s. it's going to feel chilly out there and only reaching 62 today in oakland. 65 in danville and in livermore, 64 degrees for a high temperature today. only up to 55 in half moon bay. 62 in palo alto. in san francisco, mostly upper 50s. we'll reach up to 61 in the mission district, and 64 today -- well, 63, we'll see

that in santa rosa this afternoon. here's what is going on. we'll dry out, and cool temperatures continue. look at tuesday night, 8:00, the next round of rain will be coming in. starting in the north bay, off and on showers between tuesday and early wednesday morning, and then it clears out. still lingering light showers continue throughout the day on wednesday. we're transitioning to a wetter pattern here especially for the middle of the week. the rain forecast is looking decent here with the next system coming in, possibly, at least three quarters of an inch of rain up around santa rosa, and we will see for the rest of the bay area about 0.1 to a quarter inch of rain. it's looking great, but take a look at the extended forecast for the sierra. yeah, check that out. maybe a couple feet coming within the next week or so. by the end of the month it does look like that forecast is

panning out with possibly some above average precipitation headed to the bay area and the sierra. so we're just going to take it all in. take a look at these temperatures. upper 60s for us. for the middle of the week, the next round of rain comes in late tuesday night into early wednesday. off and on showers between thursday and friday and also for the weekend in san francisco we will stay chilly here with highs mainly in the upper 50s and low 60s. mike, you are looking at treasure island? >> yeah, from the emeriville camera. we just took a look at the smooth move here, and there was a crash on the lower deck coming up to where the two levels are. there have been a smaller incident showing up on the shelter in place report, and still the note is there. overnight we had a number of

single car crashes and it happens when the roadways are slippery. keep that in mind. we had a little rain in some of the spots, and it will be enough for the oil and grease to rise to the top and that may be extra slick this morning, so use caution. damp roadways at the very least, and the traffic and weather systems are tied together. here in san josé and los gatos here, and then over the summit you will have spotty areas where there are wet and slick roadways. back over to you. >> good advice, mike. thank you. now investigators boarded a ship operated by the mediterranean shipping company saturday in the port of long

chased arbery down, and also a neighbor that joined the pursuit recording it on his cell phone, and the men saying they were trying to carry out a citizens arrest because they had reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion. the killing sparked protests around the country and in georgia, and many in the small town of brunswick where the trial will take place, and they are worried of what would happen outside the courthouse. >> if anything bad happens, it has to be somebody that doesn't live here and doesn't take pride in the community. people want justice and a fair trial for everyone, and basically bottom line, justice. >> jury selection in the high profile case could take up to two weeks. los angeles county wants
