move to camps that are obstructing access to flood protection or water facilities thtt pose a safety risk to district staff or the public or are creating an environmental hazard will be considered high priority. the district says they will try to work with those people to improve the conditions of their camp to make them low priority. but if improvements aren't made, the district could eventually move in and remove the camp. the idea is to educate the public first and only remove a camp when it's absolutely necessary. >> we don't want to nor do we have the ability to just go out and sweet pollen count. it's everywhere. we want to encourage good behavior so that we don't have to at the very many encampments. and but but it's to the valley. water will take action when we need to to to to remedy the most egregious environmental and safety. and that if the decision is made to remove a camp, the district says they will provide 72 hours notice before the cleanup work begins. >> they will also try to find housing or shelter for those impacted and try to find

where we still need to pick up some of that rain, right east bay and south bay. still a little bit below average and still in abnormally dry conditions. here's a look at the big picture. we have that system tomorrow that comes in in early morning hours. once that's gone, though, that's kind of all we get as we roll through the next 7 days. everything just kind of goes to the north of us heads up to the pacific northwest and we stay dry. that can be a good thing for a minute. but it's not a good thing for too long. so hopefully we'll start to get a little more rain in here right now, though. beautiful day out there. temperatures nice and warm. you can see we're up to about 62 degrees santa rosa. 66 in san jose. so it's a quite nice night. and again, once we get rid of the rain tomorrow, we're dry. we're nice. it's going to be really calm, really lovely witch again. i is the meteorologist have to say, hey, we got to get more rain in here. eventually here, but it's kind of enjoy it yeah, thanks, thanks for. well, it is a new era for the historic san francisco flour market today. dozens of floral vendors set up shop that.
