tomorrow and early next week, going to take a look at that forecast in the next week. it's kind of interesting. we're back in a bit kron 4 morning news continues.

welcome back to kron. 4 morning news. good morning, everybody. quite a nice little storm we had from last night. we're looking for unsettled weather to continue into next week, both locally and up to

tahoe. that translates to snow in a big way with upper 20's expected for high temperatures. this cold pattern going remain all week long. it looks like towards the end of the week, though, get a little bit more interesting. we'll talk about that in a bit. this until 04:00am to be adding the feet to what they've collected. and it's going to be more gradual for the week ahead. it looks like at least maybe that's a plus. let that system kind absorb everything that they've had and kind of take care of everything that i could be adding a whole lot more to it. 2, it looks like much of the week, but the couple ways to kind of keep in mind here. alright, spotty showers, as you will see. once we have the daytime heating, we get more action going on. that also tends to sometimes drive the hail because you can get more dynamics in the atmosphere to push those rain drops a little higher in the atmosphere. futurecast for shows that with some clear patches as well going right through tonight and tomorrow morning with the consolation of not as much in the way of heavier winds. so that will be a little bit of a plus. that's nice juicy line there about 07:00am. it's trying starting to happen. watch out the puddles that are already there. plus, the winds will be added to during the

day, but a caution with the wet roads. but quantitatively not a lot. here's what we're getting to the day today. this takes us to about 5 o'clock or so. and then add to that by tomorrow morning or even tomorrow afternoon, we're still not talking about a quarter were barely a few dimes on here. so it's relatively modest. it's going to be more kind of an event. you got a little rain so overhead and, you know, you get maybe a little hail potentially and then it's gone. you're back to sunshine. so that's the early part of the forecast. quantitatively, not a lot of that takes us to midweek. might have a little drying patch briefly here you blink, you'll miss it. but look at the surgeons of the lower lower lower latitude moisture coming in here. deeper moisture. that's the heavy rains that we experienced a few months ago. that type of scenario looks to be playing out. snow levels in the mountains will be rising through next weekend. she got melting. you've got heavy rains on top of that. so that might be posing different types of issues into next weekend. here's what's goes on by the monday. that follows another plume of moisture coming from the lower latitudes. and it looks like it's headed in our direction.

that's way out there. so we'll see as we get a little closer. but this scenario would take us to mid month with all this activity going on. so for today, 50 san francisco, 52 oakland, 53 san jose. there's the rain going on. high temperatures again. hang in. the lower 50's for the most part, a little bit of a warming phase, obviously into the weekend because that warmer air mass but unsettled for much of the week sharing the sun with clouds, some showers and some thunder showers possible with this with the cold air mass. and if we get a drying phase, we might even revisit some freezing or sub freezing temperatures inland. stephanie. all right, dave, thank you. >> new research suggests and maybe become harder for humans to breathe in the future. a study from uc riverside found rising temperatures can cause plans to emit harmful emissions and even dust increasing their release by as much as 14%. these volatile compounds react with oxygen in the air producing organic aerosols. that can be inhaled

and contribute to childhood asthma, heart disease and lung cancer. well, scientists expect the production of these compounds to increase as temperatures and carbon dioxide levels rise. two-thirds of future pollution is projected from to come from plants. very, very interesting development there. so we all got to do our part to protect our planet and to take good care of it. switching gears now to an issue that we continue to see today. army recruiting numbers continue to fall short of yearly goals and now the army is trying a new way to increase applicants to get recruits to basic training and pass the army combat fitness test paid rivera got really hands on with this one. >> 2022 was the most challenging environment that we since the inception of the all volunteer force in 1973 army recruitment struggled last year falling short of their recruitment goal of 60,000 enlisted recruits by about 15,000 soldiers,

mostly but 50 for oakland, 50. meanwhile for half moon bay, not going to get a whole lot of variety on balance today, which tends to be in the winter months like this. we see this and also with the rain event pretty close at hand like this in the unsettled weather that will continue the next couple of days. so we'll walk you through it. it's just again, the spotty showers actually looks like a nice little break happening early in the afternoon. and then by the evening again with the atmosphere has a max amount of energy tomorrow morning. it has less energy and it but still a couple little cells hanging together. they're a little bit. we have a little bit more daytime heating and again, spotty showers and thunderstorms potentially to look out for and might even carrying a will hail as well. winds of there will be little breezy early in the day and into the afternoon, but they really seem to lose their punch overnight. so these will be very localized cells that we get in terms of to get a wind gust will probably just be associated with that selling as soon as it moves on its way and 15 to 20 minutes. it's all gone in. the sun pops back out again. we repeat the process several hours later. a

look ahead of the game plan. here is rain early. we had that now we're down to scattered showers, variable clouds, cool, lower 50's next week. it's rain and scattered showers. the same kind of mixture looks like we're looking at right now with variable clouds cold for midweek. we might get a little dry patch. let those temperatures plummet just a bit. and then next weekend, the end of the week, it's rain and mild. that means daytime highs with rain will be warmer than today. we're looking at the lower 60's to return. and that's reminiscent of what we saw with the rain a few months ago. so it's going to be deeper moisture because it's coming from the lower latitudes. it will be mixing combining with a colder system out of the gulf of alaska. so away we go lower 50's cover. most of the bay looks like variable clouds, scattered showers pretty much on tap. the big board has more of the same with the lower 50's will course have that extended forecast for you and walk you through what we're expecting into next weekend 70. all right, dave, thank you so much. >> another know folk, norfolk, southern train derailment to tell you about in ohio. this

>> welcome back to the kron 4 weekend morning news. and just look at this beautiful live shot from our mount tam camera this morning. >> a lot of you living in the bay area probably heard a lot of rain last night. maybe some thunder saw some lightning, but at least from this perspective, a lot of it looks like it's been it's cleared up. so just really beautiful to see. but just how long is that going to last for dave? this is really going to be an

inconsistent. i forecast a good morning and good morning, everybody. another get a little sell over you. and then 20 minutes later, it's back to what you just see there. >> for another few hours, repeat, do the same again. we saw little bit of that last week as well. so we've got that coming up into next week. the good news is, i guess, in some ways to say, as we recover a bit, we're not going to get a lot quantitatively for a little while. so everybody can kind of catch shop in particular, folks up in tahoe got the upper 20's to keep that snow preserved. but there's more still coming from the sky. not as much as we've been through. so that's going to continue early next week. by the way, we still have that storm in place here you see a winter storm warning until 04:00am on monday. air covering all this geography advisory. meanwhile, off towards the east as you'll here, the spotty showers that appear on radar and also the lot of clear patches that are worked to know we do have that cold air. that's still right upstairs. so get a lot of action with the cell that can still generate some thunder showers or potentially some very localized hail. here it is on futurecast for we do

this all afternoon. clear patches thrown in there overnight. and there was actually this is by this evening as we lose the daytime heating the cells, not as intense. we had some daytime heating for monday afternoon and again, more action here. little in the way some more mountain snow is potentially localized area. we could see over the next few days would be kind of this air mass looks like for the next few days getting into next week. but again, back to quantitatively. not a lot. this is what goes on for all today. a couple of pennies. add to that for what we're going to get by tomorrow morning and through tomorrow afternoon, turning it into dines and maybe a couple nickel thrown for good measure. the longer-range gets more interesting. we have this traffic to deal with. first next couple of days, turn, turn turn. here we go. you can see still kind of in a backyard all the way about wednesday. we might get a clear patch, but look what's giving us the big i hear from the lower latitudes thick, deep moisture coming in here. and that is going to some heavier rains to potentially finish off the week and the

week end. and that's going to raise the snow levels up in tahoe. and that may potentially cause some flooding with you at rain, warmer temperatures and looks like we're going to do it again potentially into the following week. unsettled. easy to say as we get to the middle of the month for today, 50 san francisco. but 52 going on for open 53 san jose. the big board notes all about only moving up to the lower 50's, which, by the way, come this week this weekend here next week, guess that's going to see numbers in the lower 60's combined with rain at work here. so it shows you a different air mass. we're going lowe's if we get a chance to dry out, will revisit maybe some freezing mark numbers here throughout the course of the week. we'll be watching day by day, stephanie. >> all right, dave, thank you so much. army recruiting numbers continue to fall short of yearly goals. now the army is trying a new way to increase applicants to get recruits basic training and pass the army combat fitness test. >> pedro rivera got really hands on with this assignment.

>> 2022 was the most challenging environment that we since the inception of the all volunteer force in 1973 army recruitment struggled last year falling short of their recruitment goal of 60,000 enlisted recruits by about 15,000 soldiers, criminal jr west with the army recruiting command out of fort knox, kentucky says recently the number of eligible americans who are in shape. >> and have the test scores for enlistment has going. 23% of our population is eligible to serve. so i the west, how do you increase the quantity of eligible candidates without decreasing the quality of our be standards? he says it's possible with the future. so come force, which targets the academic side physical side, think of it like pre boot camp recruits from across the country. travel to fort jackson, south carolina and immerse themselves in the army lifestyle for up to 90 days working to get their test scores up and getting cheap. it's always health approach.

those results are demonstrating in a high success rate. a high graduation rate since its inception in the summer of 2022, the future soldier preparatory course pilot program. so more than 3200 recruits enroll and by the end of the year, 2,965 students graduated and went to basic training. >> how hard is it to meet the standards needed to enlist? well, i was invited to take the track to joint forces training base, los alamitos to give army combat fitness test that right. at sunrise i was standing alongside 3 army reserve soldiers ready to test our physical at the to the results of this test will give you and your commanders an indication that your state of physical readiness. here's how the tax breaks down. the army combat fitness test is made up of 6 events scored is based on age and gender. all recruits must obtain a standard score of 60 points in each event to pass first through repetition, maximum deadlift after being

challenged by first lieutenant read this. i decided to go for the top score thas's come through haha. >> next, there was just a big power threat. how many meters can you throw a 10 pound medicine ball over your shoulder? >> we moved to hand release push-ups 2 minutes to as many as possible. >> was tough, but i was able to do. 55. i felt great going to the spread, right? chairing a time. combination of sprinting and pulling to test ballots, muscular endurance and agility. but after my my cable start of the event. i struggled scoring 84 points and it was downhill from there. the struggle continued during the point. and and the test recruits go on a 2 mile run. i was exhausted to the

limit. the what do to read this? he came back. give me the push i needed to get to the bench. >> i think if people i managed to score a 69, i mean it. >> was not easy to be able to score. so have for you first time that is awesome. sergeant first class mail on the gaither spent more than 24 years with the she sees the challenges facing military recruitment but believes the expansion of the future soldier preparatory course will help the next generation of army soldiers be prepared and fully staffed for the next battle to come. at the end of the day. >> with the united states army i job is to defend. this country is just a matter of >> ensuring that everyone has the possibility being able to obtain that standard. if all goes well, we could see this pre boot camp style course at other army training centers around the country. >> and that was pedro rivera
