it come from? it comes from hawaii, of course, to sometimes they call the tropical pineapple connection. but is really an atmospheric river. and that is the kind of thing we need right now to really 6. all these problems with the snow pack. and also we just we need the rain. so this is a beautiful sight water managers and to skiers and too many of us whose gardens needed a few rain drops as well. so it's going to be beautiful. a little bit more zonal. and we go really toward and off again on again. rain as we head through the week. stephanie. kathy, thank you so much. >> we're taking a live look now at the sierra nevada this morning. the roads looking pretty slick out there given the dry conditions statewide. new measurements from the department of water resources show the state's snowpack well below average for this time of year. capitol correspondent eytan wallace joins us from the sierra nevada with a closer look. >> well, there's good news and bad news. let's start with the good news here at the phillips station elevation. 6800 feet in the sierra nevada. it's snowing. it's been snowing since we got here this

then we go into a lighter scenario. we have less rain on wednesday, but there's so much rain coming in that there's a flood watch in effect from reading all the way down to santa cruz county from the sierra all the way over to the pacific ocean. and that is for excessive rainfall, possibly which could trigger problems on the roads and could trigger problems in parking. lots could trigger palms and the rivers, creeks and streams. we want some rain. we don't want so much that we have flooding, but that is certainly a possibility. it's a watch. not a warning. future rainfall totals its most impressive starting out with the north bay, as is so typical. and then, you know, the south bay starts to catch up just a little bit. so we got to by wednesday, maybe 5 inches misses cumulative from today through wednesday and maybe close to 4 inches and half moon bay may be close to 3 inches in san francisco and then really impressive rainfall totals are in northern california you can see as usual, we get some really impressive

precipitation over 7 inches in reading and more than that, even in ben lowman close to 8 inches. and in the sierra, it's fresh snow. couple of inches, a couple of feet that is in some of the higher elevations starting out with rain at the lower elevations because of snow levels. so high. and then we really kick it into gear and looking here, lake county weve got even 48 inches there in clear lake. so forecast highs 50's today. that's not the story is at 50's. maybe a few low 60's. but look ahead to show how wet it's going to be. so we've got the rain and the wind today. light rain on sunday and then we just go through a series of very wet days, mostly cloudy on wednesday with again, a chance of rain and rain likely on thursday. and then finally on friday, mostly cloudy skies. so batten down the hatches, get your raincoat and get your umbrella handy as you are going to need it. stephanie? kathy, thank you. >> public safety remains a top priority for people living in and traveling to san francisco. and joining us live to discuss plans for the new

year is sheriff paul miyamoto the first asian american sheriff elected in city history. congratulations on another term in office. thank it feel? >> feels like business as usual with everything, not just my job, but also the work that we're doing out there to keep people safe. >> very good. so the start us off here, public safety, right? we know that mayor lurie, the new mayor here in san francisco, he's campaigned heavily on the promise of making public safety. the top priority. have you had any conversations with him on this? absolutely ongoing conversations. and one thing that i am very impressed with is >> that mayor lurie is very engaged and public safety is his number one priority. he's continuing collaboration the efforts that we have. we've seen the results, but we want to make sure that the results are being consistent and become and everyday occurrence instead of just because we're out there. now the mayor also promised to address the fentanyl issue, declaring that fentanyl state of emergency. know that there's an ordinance that >> going through the board of supervisors right now. what is

your stance on this emergency declaration were absolutely arm in arm with all of the efforts of not just the police department, the sheriff's office, but all public safety agencies. we partner with also other agencies which are not traditionally public department of public works. we work obviously dph and it's a collaborative effort for city agencies to come together to do things. our of our focus on enforcement efforts are bolstered by the work that the mayor is doing right now with the fentanyl ordinance. also bolstered by prop 36, ok? so how does enforcement currently look like 4 deputies who are >> out on patrol out on the beat in areas that are really affected by this fentanyl crisis. you know, we've had our operation safe streets going out for a few years. we've been focused and drug market areas identified in our work with the mac. >> we're now expanding that out into other the mayor has been interested in creating a welcome quarter for business for tourists. we're also working on 6th street and our

efforts. it's really just trying to get out there. and one thing about enforcement efforts, it's not just about arresting people. it's also about getting people help getting people housing, people to services and so that's why it's a collaborative effort to make sure people don't think that we're just trying to arrest our way out of this issue because we're not we're trying to get people to places they need to be to become okay. got it. and how does the collaboration work between the department, your department and other agencies in the city to really make this and effective to create an effective sort of space to address this fentanyl issue. both ourselves and the police department have been jones for a number of years with staffing issues. so these efforts are indicative of us just working together, having deputies on different teams and having our deputies out in the public and in the community, something that we didn't do on a consistent basis other than with our job duties. now we're partnered with the police department and making sure there's a uniform presence out there and it's not just during the daytime one of our challenges,

especially with staffing, is trying to get people out there. 24 07:10pm because you, as you mentioned that, you know, the enforcement and arrests have been taking place over the last several years. >> but obviously, we know that the fentanyl deaths had been kind of going up and over the last year or so. so just kind of curious to get your thoughts on some of the big challenges that your department was facing and what you're hoping this new administration is going to change as they come in. >> think some of the challenges are we were focused on getting people to help but focused on things like safe consumption sites which make it a challenge for law enforcement because if we have an ongoing issue with somebody who's using drugs or selling drugs or are our is on under the influence. those are all different things that we would usually takes on the jail for. we don't want to bring them to a site where they're going to continue to use drugs. so that was a challenge in the past. we've kind of massage that and we're still working together with different agencies on creating a different place,

not jail, not services, something in between where we can help people with their addiction issues. and that's one thing that supervisor dorsey is also champion ks. and we certainly heard from him quite a bit on this issue as well. >> and in the interest of time, we're going to turn to the topic of the lunar new year. we know that public safety also a big. the top of a something that's top of mind for a lot of folks because they want to come out. celebrate the big parade that's coming up is going attract a lot of people. so. what sort of security measures are going in place around the parade to make sure that people feel safe. >> well, the preds, another example where we all come together as a city to make sure everybody is safe. and so we've worked with the police department for years. it's a huge large-scale civic event, bringing a lot of people into one place. there'll always safety concerns. concerns as recently as what happened in new orleans over new year's celebrations. there. so we're always partnered and making sure there's enough people out of the street right now. actually, we have deputies

that a partner with central station police officers and they're out there in chinatown on a regular basis during the event. we also have the challenge of balancing the parade with the all-star, the nba all-star game right will be spread very will be spread out. >> and we have a number of resources to provide for public safety to make sure that between the police department, the sheriff's office and other >> law enforcement agencies, we have enough people there to keep them safe. >> ok, got it. basically a message of reassurance for folks who want to be coming up for nba all-star weekend and also for the lunar new year as well. absolutely. okay on and how does it feel to be the first asian american sheriff to be elected in city history? it's a >> it's a burden sometimes to have that responsibility of being a role model. but i've embraced that now that i've gotten through one term, i understand import of making sure that people feel that

those that work for them, the elected leadership or just people in public safety or in government represent who they are and what they are and that's something i can do as a japanese, chinese american with a filipina wife. i cover not just ap identity but multiple and i bring that to the table. in terms of my perspective on things, i think it's important, though, most important to bring others up behind me and make sure that we continue that representation. so that the diversity of our department public safety and the city government reflects the community. >> all right. so so much more. i would love to ask, but we are just about run out of time but as we wrap up, but you have a message for viewers this lunar new year. >> just we all have to keep each other safe. so if we can, please make sure if you see something, say something and make sure that. all of us together are helping to say safe in the community. >> alright, san francisco sheriff paul miyamoto. thanks so much for your time this morning. thank you.
