temperatures upper 40 upper 30's near about 40 going on. however, this has been the atmospheric river, which tends to be the lower latitudes of moisture, not these cold winter storms in the gulf of alaska, but doesn't mean you can't get winter storms with this that we're going to get. this is the next batch. now, this is not what already happened. this is monday through wednesday is what we're going to get again, that all turns to snow. the talk about a couple more feet added to this will be some wind issues as well. getting up there about 50 miles per hour for the very high elevations. but the key issue is the snow levels around 7,000 feet or so. that's not real real high. we've seen them as highs about 9,000 feet, sometimes 10 when the see what it's very early season system. but when you get to the knee-deep of winter and it's a cold winter storm boy get those 9 to 5, 4,000 feet, even 3 end and the local bay area here, our local mountains will get some snow as well. so you don't tend to get that as much with atmospheric rivers. got a lot of moisture, though. that's true. scattered showers today. sun and clouds mixture as we go for forward unsettled early

into the week, we've seen a little surge coming in here. it's more apparent actually on tuesday, they bring the south bay. but the good news is it's nudging to the south here and for a few showers on friday lingering we mentioned that is kind of an addendum. it's not compared to everything we've been through. it's not really that noticeable. but still kind of leftover giving us thanksgiving is a break, at least and wednesday looks like to clearing out for the weekend dry but cool with the 60's should mention the weekend there, ok? so we get to the weekend. looks like finish off this month. on a dry note after everything we've been through short term forecast here we see the development of the scattered showers at work. this does favor the north bay a little bit. we flipped the data monday and you see the surge from the south north gate, north bay also get some of that to another break. and there's that secondary surge at again. this was the one where a little bit worried about here with some of the longer a longer model ranges telling us that they were disagreeing with some of them getting yes, another really deep atmospheric river. good news is this has been sinking

of the south. so that will keep us kind of better can see this. we're talk about. here's one search happening. that will be tomorrow morning. again, that will be in central coast. it looks like a break in the action when this is all breaking up. that's good news, too. then let's get out to the end of the week. this is the other issue as well. that's farther to the south. so we're in the very northern quadrant. everything that goes forward and look at this. this haghs is waiting for its chance, which means fair weather dry, clear skies, maybe get those temperatures in the south bay, even warming up to the upper 60's. not too shabby. rainfall totals going forward. now monday morning looks like san francisco a little bit better than a quarter of an inch to all of this. so decent rain there and getting out to tuesday will add to that and maybe a little bit over half of an inch. by the time we get to wednesday and going forward. we do know add to that longer range forecast for you again, unsettled for the early part of the week here. temperatures stay in the cool upper 50's. we start warming up by the time we get to the weekend. so it's kind of timed

out pretty nicely with all of really messy stuff. i know that for sfo and some travel. that's not the greatest. early part of that but it's not so messy as we finish off the week, too. but >> okay. all right. good to know. at least we're looking relatively clear for thanksgiving. yes, that's looking shopping. yeah, that is true. thanks a lot to. under state capitol. a new non-partisan analysis shows the state's budget situation will drastically improve next year. but we're not out of the woods just yet. our capitol correspondent eytan wallace explains. >> well, remember, just last year, state leaders here at the capitol were grappling with how to close a multibillion-dollar deficit. but come next year, that could be in for a much better scenario. even so some are raising concerns looking long >> we just cried the state's budget condition as being in there. she non-partisan california legislative analyst, gabriel pena sharing that analysis of california's budget situation in the coming

pop up, go away. that type of business there. that's good news we don't want last very long and it looks like as we get into monday, they'll be more of that to make note of here's monday afternoon. and yet another dose of some of those scattered showers. but then tuesday's kind of interesting in you can see a bit of that surge coming in from the south. but this has been favoring the south as we go forward and other surges later on as we get to the holiday, looks like that will be into the central coast and not so much up here. so that will be little bit of a break for our for our side. there are the wind you can see along the coast. they pop a little bit this afternoon, mostly again on the long, the coast and tomorrow along the east bay in the south bay is where most that concentration will be and that's inland too long. the east bay, too, get to tuesday and less eventful for the winds. but again, there'll be some rain to make note of yet again. high temperatures for today, an eventful really for the whole week ahead when you have a rain event, that's pretty true. lower 60's on the board here. maybe a couple of mid 60's in place. now the

kid to see even people on television and and now, you know, to be representing my city, i'm incredibly honored to do you anticipate your unique sort of cultural background and perspective to shape your leadership role in any way here? yes, absolutely. chinese and indian and being a child of people who were incarcerated during world war 2 and the japanese american camps. i think that that's really shaped how i view justice and the importance of the role government to making sure we treat all equitably and fairly and that's definitely shaped my views. now, if you receive 51% of the ranked choice votes to spare at rate choice vote this past election. huge just edged out councilmember sophia han. we have those numbers on the screen there for folks. what you say gave you the winning advantage at the very end there. >> you know, i think that our our message really resonated with people. they were excited for a reset at city hall. that's what we're talking about. really focusing on the

issues. >> i've really been clear about the fact i'm a very pro housing candidate that someone who wants to make sure that we have safe streets that people can go around the city. and then also, you know, we had some very big endorsements at the end, which were very helpful for us. yeah, i'm going digging into a little bit about what you said about city hall in need of a reset. how are things going to change under your watch? yeah. i mean, i think that it has been a very tumultuous year at the very beginning. we had 2 city council members resign. we also lost or city manager and i'm going to be really focused on unifying the city council, bringing us together, getting us on the same page so we can focus on our problems. all right, you've taken a bit of an unconventional route. so could say it's it's getting into your current position you have a background, a nonprofit consulting, you're president of the league of women voters are you ready to take on the challenges that come with the mayoral office? yes, absolutely. you know, i definitely wouldn't have run for this position if i didn't think i was ready. and you know what the mayor's

responsibility is is really being the face of the city leading the city council meetings and the league of women voters is very much about procedure process. so i feel very prepared to do this role. and what is the first challenge that you like to tackle your first day in office? yeah, i think that the first challenge is going to be, you know, helping the city council come together. we have many new city council members and some folks who have been there before. so really creating those bonds and being able to set the scene for the next 4 years is going to be very important for me. and how do you envision collaborating with mayors and other major cities here in the bay area to get things done in terms of the big issues facing californians and residents here. yeah, of course. so many of the issues that i'm focused on our regional issues on focused on housing, homelessness, public safety and infrastructure. so we need to be able to work with our neighbors to be able to get things done. and i'm very excited to be collaborating with other mayor. standby. is there a specific of pet project that you envision really championing are taking on this year. yes, absolutely. you are speaking about earlier in the news, but homelessness is incredibly important to me,

especially as the weather has been getting so cold and my living on the streets. there any measures that you're seeing in berkeley that, you know that you think could be improved upon when it comes to addressing the issue of homelessness, especially given this cold weather? yeah, i do think that there needs to be more coordination and communication between the organizations and agencies that are working on these issues. i think that's a huge part of it. but mental health is also very important to me. and we need to make sure that our services that we provide out on the street are offered. 24 7, mental health issues being addressed in the city of berkeley right now when it comes to the homeless and are there any areas of improvements that you see could be me? yeah. so we have something called the specialized care unit, which is a non police response to mental health crises. and it's available not just to our in-house community, but i think that that's a community that oftentimes needs that service. and i know they're working very hard to get fully staffed and up 24 7. but like i said, i think this is one of the resources that needs to be

offered because if you call and you need to be able to have a response quickly, unfortunately, mental health crises don't happen between specific hours. so it needs to be a service that's available at all times. all right. mayor elect in our last minute here of any message you'd like to share with the voters of the residents viewers in the bay area this holiday season. yeah, i think i want really make sure that folks know that every single vote counts. i mean, you said it, you know, this race was very close. and at the end, we were very grateful to have the most votes. but it really shows how important is for people to get involved in politics and how important their vote is in. at the end of the day. all right. mayor of berkeley mayor elect edina issue. thank you so much for your time congratulations. thank you so much for having me. appreciate it. all right. we look forward to say the moves you a player of year in office. front will be right back.

things like that. we're going to be further to the north. instead, they're further south. good news with that. and then there's another little surge of develops as we just showed you. this is wednesday. and then as we get into the weekend, here we go head into friday. that's way down south. now at that point, as we're in the clear high pressure takes over for a couple of days in the weekend. so we're going to go into december on a dry note that will feel nice as far as how much rain we get. let's take it out to monday afternoon about a half of an inch of rain at that point about 01:00pm. and as we go all the way out to about tuesday, that's when wednesday this is about when this little unsettled part of the early part of the week is done. san francisco collecting about 0.62 with all of that, a look ahead for the next several days. again, unsettled to start things off. we get our breather on wednesday. you're okay. and for friday. well, sort of us. we have ham and then for friday may be a little isolated shower. and then for the weekend, high and dry, it looks like so that will be some good news. there turkey geier him guy. >> on turkey. i definitely sorry. definitely into

apologizing. i think okay. >> all right. happening right now tis the season of giving and bay area firefighters are making it easy to help a child in need. earlier today i spoke with michael director of the san francisco firefighters toy program and how you can make a difference this holiday season. happy holidays to you to you. thank you for having yeah, thanks so much for joining us this morning. we understand you had a very busy couple of nights. all the rain in the city. yes, that's true. active duty. there's disco firefighter 26 year veteran and i'm still working. >> in the yes. when the rain came, we were very thank you to you and all your peers for yeur service to the community would love to talk to you about your tort program. thank this is a very special program has been around since 1949, correct? 1949. it started in the back of the firehouse couple fighters with some time on their hands noticed some people in their community need a little bit of help so that

their idle hands, they >> got busy refurbishing bikes and toys and and basically helping the community. that was 75 years ago. and to this date, we've grown to be one of the largest charities of its kind in the nation. only second to the toys for so but largest local fire firefighter driven to program. have you seen the need for toys and different types of donations go up over the absolutely. absolutely. you know, we can go back to pandemic where everybody was locked down. the mental health was an parents are struggling. people were trouble funds. we were able to step up and intervene and just by doing so engage a sense of community that we had lost touch with for a while. so in that is the most roared rewarding part. so program is now as strong as it's ever been with the help of donors.

so >> what type of donations would you say are in the highest demand right always always toys little children. you if you have a kid, if you were a kid, if you know a kid you know that how fast they grow and you know, a little toy that they got last year might might not be suitable a year later when they're larger. >> toys for older girls are always in high demand older, i mean, the 10 to 14 year-old girls don't always have, you know, they don't want the teddy bears their mortgage than the jewelry and more thus the fashion things. those are actually what we're really searching anything at all will help. >> some good guidance there. now, other other ways that people can help out you 100%. we are 100% donation driven program. >> if you can't help by going physically bring its oil, which is always fun to do, going to the toy store, finding something nice. you you can scan our qr code, which will take you directly to our donation and you can do

out there. we have us army of volunteers that come down to art union location in the bayview where we acted doubles as a distribution. the toy collection and distribution center here in december. yes. and so we do have that qr code code pulled up for people that we can bring that up. just a real quick here. so people scan that will take people directly to the donation site. rental can donate any amount. it's not a venmo. it's a stripe accounts. we take you straight to donation site. any amount will help. it goes directly to our toy program. okay. fantastic snow. >> i think it's important to to help people understand exactly through the process that you guys go through to collect all of the toys and donations. so start with the barrels, correct? >> if you've been around town and businesses are part partner with us and they collect, you can see our barrels everywhere. they've got the big teddy bear where the firemen you can donate at at those locations. any

firehouse will collect toys. they have barrels inside the firehouse and it's just again, it's about bringing back that sense of community and just the reward of giving. >> back. yeah, we're very local. so it's it's a francisco residents specifically. but we have partners throughout this state through the nation. we get help from everywhere. and how long do those barrels going to be out for what happens after all the toys are collected? that's a great question. during the again, as i mentioned, we have an army of volunteers who they go out. they collect those barrels. sometimes place is doing very well. >> and they'll have just bag of toys and say, please leave the barrel. but we've got to get these well, that's great. our volunteers. all the way through december will go out, collect those toys. they we don't have very much time to catalog them. they go into the warehouse onto the shows and then right back out to a family in incredible. so. >> again, this is a program that we do hear more of during the holiday season, but people can actually help you're around all year you know, it

is the firefighters toy program, but we have historically been help fleeing families. >> in tragedies, fires, house fires, we were able to send a bunch of toys and bikes to maui after after the huge fire where people lost everything. hurricane sandy, we're able to send a whole bunch of stuff out. so we are active all year round. okay. very good. >> so again, let's put that qr code for folks so that people have a chance to scan it. and if they want to donate and help out of families and local kids in san francisco here in the bay area, just go ahead and scan that and they can chip it's out will help at ok, big difference. all right. wonderful michael director of the san francisco firefighters toy program. thank you so much for what you do we appreciate what's your wish you and the everybody out there is doing to help raise awareness. thank you very much for having me. i you very much for having me. i hope everyone has a very h (♪♪)
