may. >> reporter: that means jeff is facing over three months without anrt of income from his r. told me he applied for assistance through the small business administration, but so far has not seen a dime. >> we have been trying and trying to get a loan from them, and the process has been growing. i don't think any of the businesses have -- we have all applied and we are in touch with each other all the time. i don't think it has come in. >> reporter: garth mcdonald works for the sba. they say they have had a team on the ground helping business owners in santa cruz county since january. but he says that it unfortunately just takes time to get paperwork filled out and checks in the mail. >> everything, when it comes to the disaster, is not fun to deal with, but it does take time. it requires some patience and perseverance. i wish, you know, we could just snap your fingers and make it go faster, obviously.

>> reporter: garth says that so far the sba has already approved approximately $875,000 in loans for 23 santa cruz county businesses. jeff told me that the officials he had spoken to have been very helpful in guiding him through the process, but he just needs that money to come through, too. >> maybe the landlord will be able to access that. i am not sure. i haven't seen that. >> reporter: for now, jeff is willing to rely on friends and other locals who helped. he says he cannot wait to reopen, even if it takes longer than expected. >> a lot of the locals kept going in the off-season and they kept up with it every day, like what can i do to help?

they are like, we can't wait for you to be open! that is touching and inspiring. >> reporter: jeff told me that it might take him a while to relax even after the opening party, but he is still counting down the days for it to come. we have seen all the weather here in bay area this winter, and northern california will feel the effects from months to come. join our meteorologists tomorrow night at 10:00 for our special, lasting impact. >> so if you showers off the coast, and there they are! futurecast can actually track these and maybe a few primarily along the coast. it is not the

drop or two of rain that this is bringing with it that is really the important part. it is the cold air and the wind. it was breezy today. tomorrow it will be windy. so here is the headline. tomorrow when we get into the afternoon, these are our northwest winds. gusting will be particularly intense along the coast. the city will probably feel something close to that. right in the immediate bay we have wind gusts in the low to mid 30s. if we look at where the national weather service has put the wind advisory out, it is for the coast and the city. goes from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. with gusts of 45 miles per hour. that could be enough to take an occasional tree down. even with a 30-mile-per-hour guest , if you are not in that wind advisory, we could still see an occasional tree go down with gusts that are strong. so that is the focus for tomorrow. it will be cold in the morning. mid-30s to start things. even

though the thermometer might technically make it to the mid and upper 50s, it will not feel like that with a 35 mile per hour wind gust. you will have a wind-chill factor that will make it feel colder. so if we change the view completely and you want it to be sunny and warm, that's coming. if you look at the six to 10-day forecast, this is the probability that we will be above average. right now the average for inland valleys is 69. think about that for a second. it should be about 70 degrees for the average high. we have not been anywhere near that for a while. you won't be there for the much of the first part of this week. bye-bye friday we have made it back to average! get ready for that and then prepare yourself for saturday when we go to the mid-70s from their. it is the inland valleys in general, but i will show you the microclimate in the seven-day forecast. look at san jose is one of our primary examples on the bottom. but even oakland is going to 70. you will have to

settle for 65 degrees. when we look at the microclimates in the east bay, the north bay valleys cut across the middle at 76 degrees with plenty of sunshine and out of the storm track for a little while. we will get back to experiencing one of the nicer sides of heading into spring. 70 degree days! who would have thought it? back over to you. after the break, from a president trump expected to turn himself into authorities in new york this week. what we can expect for his court appearance. what the a's and giants had in common and a record-setting ncaa women's finale. on the eve of the men's championship, we will hear from a warriors player with a natty ring! and warriors players who were the second toughest in the building to test test test test test test
