12:15 pm
but great news nonetheless. of course we need the rain. we haven't seen, you know, the past two seasons. better yet, let me take it a step back. the past two seasons, we dealt with such strong atmospheric river seasons that it's interesting that we're now in january and we haven't really seen heavy amounts fall throughout the bay area. it's been a relatively dry month, and temperatures, for the most part, have been just sitting in the upper 50s and lower 60s all week long. and we're continuing to see that as we head into this weekend, despite the fact that instead of sunshine, for example, down into the santa clara valley this afternoon, we're really just left with some rainy conditions. so let's time this out. i want to show you it's the north bay that's going to get hit with some heavier rain compared to some of our friends down south in the santa clara valley. and taking a look at the next 8 to 14 days issued by the climate prediction center there, showing wetter than normal conditions for all of us here in the bay area and throughout most of the west coast, including the pacific northwest. so we time this out all the way into friday, saturday and sunday, and even heading into early next week. this rain system comes in late thursday night just offshore of the california coastline, creeping in friday morning for
12:16 pm
our friends up in the north bay first. and that lingers into the afternoon hours. it's a slow moving system, but since it hits the north bay first and continues to sweep to the south, they're going to see more impressive rainfall totals closer to around an inch to two inches compared to some of our friends down into the santa clara valley, where it takes a bit longer for it to move down. so as we get closer, we're going to keep a very close eye on those rainfall totals. nonetheless, our temperatures, just like i mentioned earlier, pretty much still staying the same upper 50s, lower 60s, partly cloudy skies as we dive into wednesday and thursday. and then friday rolls around. and that's when we're expecting that rain right around the corner. we head all the way over into some of our inland spots. it's a very similar trend, too. for those daytime highs. we'll keep a close eye on that as we head into early next week, but as we head into next week, we're still expecting that rain to stick around. so gear up for some rain jacket weather as we head back to work and school heading into monday. back to you, ryan. >all right. thanks, jess. well, a majority of americans now support medical aid in dying or made, but it is illegal in most of the country.
12:17 pm
made is when a patient with a prognosis of six months or less to live chooses to end their life by drinking a lethal combination of prescription drugs. opponents often call it assisted suicide. and in tonight's eye on america on the cbs evening news, cbs national correspondent nikki battiste met barbara goodfriend, who was suffering from als. they met one day before her death. >after your diagnosis, how did this idea medical aid in dying come up? when i. knew new jersey was legal and it would be available to me, i lost my fear. i became calm. your fear was to live, not to die. my fear was to live. i'm not afraid of dying. >and >>nikki battiste joins us now.
12:18 pm
nikki, such a heavy topic here. tell us about the woman you talked to and >why >>does she want to end her life? >ryan barbara goodfriend, you heard was diagnosed with als. this is a fatal disease. her nervous system deteriorated rapidly. and, as she mentioned, made legal in new jersey. and she told us she didn't want to suffer and she wanted to die with dignity. we met her, as you mentioned, the day before, she was planning to die. and tonight on the cbs evening news, you see this extraordinary journey. and what really struck me about goodfriend is how honest and candid she is about her thoughts about in speaking about this very controversial topic. >and, nikki, i know this is a very controversial subject for people who oppose made. what is their reason? >what is their reason? the primary reason opponents argue that this is suicide. and i just want to point out made and assisted suicide are the same thing. and proponents call it made. opponents call it
12:19 pm
assisted suicide, where a patient must self-administer the drug. it's not euthanasia which is completely illegal, where a doctor gives a lethal injection. but opponents worry that people who get this prescription and never use it, that there's a risk that this drug might just be out there, that it's a danger to society, and that there's really no oversight. >yeah, such a tough subject and such such a tough topic to talk about. so thank you very much, nikki batiste. and you can watch the first part of nikki's two part look at medical aid in dying in tonight's eye on america. that's on the cbs evening news at 4 p.m. in part two airs tomorrow night. we'll be right back. >so this is amazing. this is a permanent hair removal. medical device cleared by the fda for all skin colors. from fair to you're talking. about, like the one at the spa that cost thousands. of dollars. that's right. every single time. you go in, it's 100 to 800
12:20 pm
bucks per service. you've got to go 6 to 8 times for permanent hair removal. this one is amazing because this uses two forces of energy. they find the hair follicle. they warm that hair follicle up. and once they warm that hair follicle up, guess what? it disables it so it can never grow back. you're going to utilize this one time. there we go. one. feel that. no pain right. no pain in seven weeks. you use it once a week. men from the chest down, women from the cheeks down. so, hey, have we got a little spare? something, something. and again, it's going to grab that hair follicle, warm it up and disable it. if you get this now you are going to see in seven weeks 94% less hair permanent. and then when you need it, you use it for a touch up. my daughter's already claimed it. after i get when i'm done with it, she's going to use it $359. it's $100 savings, by the way, they're throwing in the electric razor and a special piece that you can use for the hard to reach places on the body they're throwing that in, as well as a bonus. so you're
