good wednesday morning. we're coming up on 4:46 right now. we're getting a look at the north bay. right now san rafael is nice and quiet, also very chilly, and we're in the upper 30s right now with a calm wind. we'll see temperatures remaining the same and also it's going to look very much like it did yesterday, with a few clouds in the mix, cool temperatures and a

nice breeze as we reach up to about 60 degrees in that area. santa rosa reaching 62, also 62 for napa and martinez and much of the tri-valley, into the east bay, and san jose reaching 64 degrees, while san francisco will be in the upper 50s this afternoon. as we take you into tomorrow, a little more of a warm-up as our highs reach into the upper 60s from san martin to morgan hill and 66 degrees in livermore, 64 in martinez. it's going to be a nice spring-like day, but there will be more clouds coming in and we'll continue to see the clouds increasing on friday as our weather remains mild. as we go into late friday afternoon, it first starts in the north bay with some rain and some showers that are going to roll from north to south across our area, and then gradually start to taper off on saturday, as we go toward the end of the weekend it's looking dry. we may begin early next week with another round of some spotty showers, especially for the north bay, and drying out for the end of next week.

so just on friday, parts of the east bay and the south bay could see about a tenth of an inch of rain, but it could be as much as a quarter inch of rain for san francisco and even higher for the north bay. a little closer to a half inch of rain in the santa cruz mountains, getting a decent amount of rainfall. morgan hill, we have temperatures kind of going up and down. but saturday -- sunday, rather, is looking like the warmest day in the forecast. a little cooler on monday and then we see a significant cooldown for the middle of next week. so we get a taste of spring right in time for easter sunday, and next week we'll see a slight chance of rain, especially for the north bay. i'll be tracking that. mike, you're saying the crews are busy out there. >> trying to wrap up their day. we're looking at crews getting to work, not yet fully populating the commute through the east bay. we're at green. a little slow south, 680. we're down one lane. addressing the mudslide

say, a holiday, things tend to get cheaper and cheaper. that's not how airfare works. it actually tends to go in the other direction, it tends to get more expensive the longer you wait until the intended date of travel. >> so get it done. if you need to apply or renew your passport, going.com says that processing times are up to 10 to 13 weeks, seven to nine weeks if you go expedited. >> before you book that flight, you need to make sure your money is right. april is financial literacy month and a new cnbc and momentum survey is revealing how hard it is to not only make it in the bay, put really make it anywhere. the new findings show that 58% of adults say they are now living paycheck to paycheck, some companies now offering financial literacy benefits for their employees. cnbc senior personal finance correspondent gives us the 411. >> reporter: edwina erwin was living paycheck to paycheck until she took advantage of a

financial program that helped er deal with debt. >> it helped me manage it better. >> reporter: about 20% of employers offer non-retirement financial advice as a workplace benefit. verizon is one of them. >> the focus that you have on financial benefits, how has that changed over the last couple of years? >> the traditional focus on financial wellness, which was almost exclusively around the 401(k), is not sufficient anymore. our employees are asking for help with all aspects of financial life. >> reporter: research showness the last year, employees who had access to financial education and tools like videos, classes and coaching, were more likely to increase savings, feel less overwhelmed by debt and make progress toward their financial goals. this financial literacy advocate says providing those resources through the workplace may not reach the most vulnerable employees. >> in it's an opt-in, you

sometimes miss the people who need this because they're worried that if they take the course or take advantage of what's being offered, that people will judge them for what they don't know. >> reporter: irvin wishes she had learned more about budgeting and financial planning much earlier, for herself and her family. >> we struggled a long time, unnecessarily, because we didn't have the knowledge or tools or skills to do what we needed to do to make things better. >> reporter: once she went through the employee assistance program, irvin raised her credit score, bought a house, and how helps her parents with their finances. sharon epperson, cnbc business news. happening now, san francisco police are looking for a woman who was scheduled to board a cruise ship but never showed up. investigators say the 33-year-old, alaina adams, was set to leave pier 27 monday night. she was reported missing after failing to show up, and police say they currently have no evidence of foul play. adams is from out of state.
