out there tomorrow and tuesday, we stay dry for the bay area. while southern california sees our first little low pressure impacting us, especially come tuesday for them. we stay dry during that time. but wednesday, our storm door opens cold front makes its way in from the northwest. and with that us all and push of rainfall bay area right here, deeper green and yellow hues indicating that more intense rainfall that will be coming down during this time and right there at the core of the bay down to the big sur coastline, solid snowfall up in the sierras. so wednesday, maybe not the one to plan a whole ll into thursday, a couple of lingering sprinkles and potential, maybe even an isolated thunderstorm and battled in this unsettled frontal boundary that is already clear through at that point friday, we see a resurgence of moisture pushing through to start the weekend. so next weekend is a whole different story than the weekend that we're currently enjoying with some rainfall for friday drying out saturday. but then another round of rain center of circulation from this low cold

front right here, pushing through on sunday. so 3 rounds of rain ahead of us. that first one on wednesday of this upcoming week resulting in well over an inch of rainfall for the bay area. but we're going to add up a lot more on top of that. and by the time that we reach midweek next week, we'll have seen 5 inches of rain on the mendocino coast line over 3 inches for parts of the bay. and look at that. snow projection up in the sierra nevada mountains. that is the march miracle. kind of snowfall up there, really helping us out to keep on par or catch back up with snow pack 50's to low 60's for your highs in the city today and a few 50's at the coastline. most of us today are solidly going to be in the 60's for your daytime highs. so think what you enjoyed yesterday and you're just going to be seeing a lot of that again. what a beautiful weekend, especially ahead. what is about to be unsettled weather. so if you have been wanting to get outside today is key. get out there. enjoy it. it is crystal clear and it is pretty mild

station 18, how he was a friend of my mom's and she suggested this career. >> and i'm so happy that she did. would have never chosen this for myself. so it's something that has women were not always and courage to get into as a career. and so it was great to have her reach out and for me to follow in her footsteps, it's helpful to see others who look like us who've been in those positions and who have seen success there that encourage the rest of us to live. >> pursue those opportunities as well. i can imagine it is. it's a very fulfilling career. i'm glad that i work in san francisco because there is so much support and mentor ship there are other places in this country that do not have that type of mentorship available to them. and so i'm glad that i am in san francisco. yes. and what was it that you like most of from being on the job over 2 decades here being a city kid. i really appreciate serving my its you go on calls

and you actually run calls on friends, families being able to serve your community, being able to. be a face and and show empathy to people in the hardest day of their often times. so it's really important to me specifically to to be able to serve my community and to serve my to do you have any stories from maybe your first year, first 2 years on the job that you can share with us today. >> i have a lot of story for all of them are appropriate. just because, you know, like i said, it's somebody is hard as they. >> i will say that i came from private sector corporate background. interesting. as a probationary firefighter at station 5 eyesight that morning of 9.11, and really it was incredibly impactful. and and to watch. the men and women that i worked with every that day. get on to those

rigs, no matter what. and without question, we're ready to do their job. it was really as a probationary firefighter. i knew i was in the right place. i wanted to be there too, from my family, from my community, for my city. i wanted to be the center. >> and it really does take so much courage and sacrifice to serve the community in that way. so thank you for your service over the years of would like to know to if you faced any challenges where you while you're on the job that you feel like you had to work harder to prove yourself in any way. >> i think answer would be i'm i'm a woman. i'm a black woman. this is there's not a lot of us. sometimes you do feel and maybe it's more self pressure that you put on yourself to give 1102200% honest job. it's not a job that is necessary catered towards women. and so you really want to prove you're there for your brothers and

sisters. you want to do that, though. you want to show that you are worthy and a lot of times the pressure comes from within, not necessarily from outside places and i want to be the best that i can be. and so i put that pressure on myself. and i think a lot of the sisters that i work with in san francisco and across the country do that to ourselves. we want to be the now. walk us through to why it is so important that we have representation in the fire service or first responders. >> i think that it's important because there certain things that we deal with as women we deal with within our communities. that may be on the understand. i think that creating a diverse department, whether it's religious orientation. anything is is serves the community the best. i think that it's so important that we keep diversity important and at the forefront of our recruitment efforts

because everyone bring something different to the table. and if we don't have a diverse department that we are going to have a blind spot, that we aren't going to be able to walk us through the numbers when it comes to representation in the fire service in san francisco, perhaps you could speak to san francisco has 272 women and and our department. we have the most across the country. we are number one as far as women are concerned and that we're very proud of that. we're pretty proud of the recruitment efforts that the united service women has put into making sure that we are a diverse department. but we also that has a responsibility. we we feel it's important that we kind of push through and carry through agendas that benefit women in the fire service across the country. there are we. to a lot of studies about cancer

and how the fire service impacts cancer for women in the fires in and the department. and we are able because of how many women we have to give out data that other departments can't because they don't have the study group speak so arkansas prevention foundation has done amazing work and other departments are using that. we have lactation policies have family leave accident that other departments are mirroring or following in our footsteps. and so it's really important that we are doing this work to kind of paved the way for everybody else. yes. and you know, is there a message for folks who are watching right now, maybe a other women. >> who are curious about joining the fire service, but they be feeling a little bit intimidated or not sure where to start. what is what are your thoughts? my thoughts are check it out. come come and see it come to a firehouse.

the united fire service women. they have a website. you can look at it. they have boot camps. check it out on instagram. fct see online dot org. >> also has at a credible amount of resources. you can look at our physical agility tests on youtube com but come firehouse station 15 on one-thousand ocean avenue has 6 of the most dynamic women that that was my station 6 of the most dynamic women that will show you what a career is. i think i'm second to junior and that 24 years on the job in one of the most margin there, women in that specific station. and i think we bring a lot to the table on the border than happy to answer any questions that somebody had wonderful. so there definitely are role models information that is out there for people who are interested now as we start to wrap things up here, is there a message for people this women's history month you'd like to share? >> i just want to say thank

you to the 7 women that were the very first class. they mentors for us. they paved the way and may be easier. and i hope that i'm doing the same for the people after us that come in. they are dynamic incredible women and we >> pay so much on our respect to them for what they've done for us. all right. >> adrian sims with the san francisco fire department. thank you so much for your service and for your time all right. we'll be right back.

service and you're still with the fire service in san francisco. tell us a bit about how you got started. i was kind of trying to find my way as a young person. and i was recruited by a female firefighter out at station 18, how he was a friend of my mom's and she suggested this career. >> and i'm so happy that she did. would have never chosen this for myself. so it's something that has women were not always courage to get into as a career. and so it was great to have her reach out and for me to follow in her footsteps, it's helpful to see others who look like us who've been in those positions and who have seen success there that encourage the rest of us to live. >> pursue those opportunities as well. i can imagine it is. it's a very fulfilling career. i'm glad that i work in san francisco because there is so much support and mentor ship there are other places in this country that do not have that type of mentor ship available to them. so i'm glad that i am in san francisco. yes. and

what was it that you like most of from being all that on the job over 2 decades here being a city kid. i really appreciate serving my its you go on calls and you actually run calls on friends, families being able to serve your community, being able to. be a face and and show empathy to people in the hardest day of their often times. so it's really important to me specifically to to be able to serve my community and to serve my city. did have any stories from maybe your first year? first 2 years on the job that you can share with us today. >> i have a lot of story for all of them are appropriate. just because, you know, like i said, it's somebody is hard as they i will say that i came from private sector corporate background as a probationary firefighter at station 5 ice

that morning of 9.11 and really it was incredibly impactful. and and to watch. the men and women that i worked with every that day. get on to those rigs, no matter what. and without question, we're ready to do their job. it was really as a probationary firefighter. i knew i was in the right place. i wanted to be there too, from my family, from my community, for my city. i wanted to be the center. >> and it really does take so much courage and sacrifice to serve the community in that way. so thank you for your service over the years of would like to know to if you faced any challenges where you while you're on the job that you feel like you had to work harder to prove yourself in any way. >> i think answer would be i'm i'm a woman. i'm a black woman. this is there's not a lot of us. sometimes you do feel and maybe it's more self pressure that you put on yourself to give 1102200%

honest job. it's not a job that is necessarily catered towards women. and so you really want to prove you're there for your brothers and sisters. you want to do that, though. you want to show that you are worthy and a lot of times the pressure comes from within, not necessarily from outside places and i want to be the best that i can be. and so i put that pressure on myself. and i think a lot of the sisters that i work with in san francisco and across the country do that to ourselves. we want to be the now. walk us through to why it is so important that we have representation in the fire service or first responders. >> i think that it's important because there certain things that we deal with as women we deal with within our communities. that may be on the understand. i think that creating a diverse department, whether it's religious orientation. anything is is

serves the community the best. i think that it's so important that we keep diversity important and at the forefront of our recruitment efforts because everyone bring something different to the table. and if we don't have a diverse department that we are going to have a blind spot, that we aren't going to be able to walk us through the numbers when it comes to representation in the fire service in san francisco, perhaps you could speak to san francisco has 272 women and and our department. we have the most across the country. we are number one as far as women are concerned and that we're very proud of that. we're pretty proud of the recruitment efforts that the united service women has put into making sure that we are a diverse department. but we also that holds a responsibility. we we feel it's important that we kind of

push through and carry through agendas that benefit women in the fire service across the country. there are we. to a lot of studies about cancer and how the fire service impacts cancer for women in the fires and the department. and we are able because of how many women we have to give out data that other departments can't because they don't have the study group speak. so arkansas prevention foundation has done amazing work and other departments are using that. we have lactation policies have family leave accident that departments are mirroring or following in our footsteps. and so it's really important that we are doing this work to kind of paved the way for everybody else. yes, there a message for folks who are watching right now, maybe a other women. >> who are curious about joining the fire service, but

they might see be feeling a little bit intimidated or not. sure where to start. what is your what are your thoughts? my thoughts check it out. come come and see it come to a firehouse. the united fire service women they have a website. you can look at it. they have boot camps. check it out on instagram. fct see online dot org. >> also has incredible amount of resources you can look up our physical agility tests on youtube com, but come by a firehouse station 15 on one-thousand ocean avenue has 6 of the most dynamic women that that was my station 6 of the most dynamic women that will show you what a career is. i think i'm second to junior and that and with 24 years on the job in one of most margin there, women in that specific station. and i think we bring a lot to the table on the than happy to answer any questions that somebody had wonderful. so

there definitely are role models information that is out there for people who are interested now as we start to wrap things up here, is there a message for people this women's history month you'd like to share? >> i just want to say thank you to the 7 women that were the very first class. they mentors for us. they paved the way and may be easier. and i hope that i'm doing the same for the people after us that come in. they are dynamic incredible women and we >> pay so much on our respect to them for what they've done for us. all right. >> adrian sims with the san francisco fire department. thank you so much for your service and for your t for all those making it big out there...
