was next to them. other inventers showed us watches that did the same thing. inventers have until march 31st to come up with ideas. back to you. >> thank you. richmond police are investigating allegations that a 6-year-old student at an el sobrante school was inappropriately touched on campus. the girl's mom said the alleged attack happened at east bay waldorf school. she said her daughter was pushed to the ground by one or more boys and there clothes were taken off and she was touched. >> what we understand happened is inappropriate conduct in a playground setting where a child experienced inproper touching. >> administrators say while the boys did push the girl to the ground, they did not take off her clothing or have any

have to be made on mandatory rationing. >> given how little rain there has been which is to say none, we may recome to that conclusion sooner. it's dire. this is not just a dry year. this has been the driest year since we started keeping records for the last hundred years. >> reporter: and the drought is a huge concern for ranchers here in marin county. one dairy farmer showed up to see what if any help he may be able to get from the county as the lack of rainfall continues to threaten his business. dry pastures means he has to pay more to feed his livestock. >> so the cost is gonna still have to be burdened probably by the ranchers which usually we're the first ones to feel the drought and last ones to get out of it. >> even the marin county fire department is making changes to conserve water. all of the fire stations will be cutting water use by 25% starting immediately. the chief told me that means

fewer training exercises that use fewer water. shorter showers for the crews. the goal of that sum summit that took place is try to get people change the way they use water before the rationing becomes a reality. the average person uses 120 gallons of water every day. unless a lot of rain comes down between now and april to fill the rosier viruses in the area, people should plan to use a lot less water in the future. alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you, alex. we're also expecting an update on the impact of the drought on wine grapes in napa. right now, grape growers and farmers are discussing techniques to prevent damage to white grapes. the uusda is expected to issue a declaration in the next few days that provide special funding and assistance for farmers. at ktvu.com we have a special section dedicated to the

police. this is what they told us he looks like. he's described as after african- american male about 6-foot tall, 175 pounds. he was wearing all black clothing at the time of this home invasion. again, an 81-year-old woman who lives in this home here in the diamond district on potomac and laguna has been taken to the hospital. she was struck in the upper arm by a man who forced her way into her home. police are investigating and are trying to get the word out to anyone who may have seen this suspect to give them a call. allie rasmus, ktvu channel 2 news. the college of marin is making security improvements after a male student was kidnapped and sexually assaulted by a man hiding in his car. today, the college is installing a gate and changing the hours for parking lot 13. that's where the victim parked his car when he was surprised by a man with a gun in a back seat last thursday. the assault took place offcampus and the victim was able to get away. the school says the gate and

new hours will replace temporary flood lights installed a few days ago. >> once that gate goes up, we'll be able to take the flood lights down mainly for the benefit of the neighbors behind us. they've never had lights in that parking lot. they are a little bit of a nuisance as well. that's why we're trying to close the lot before it gets dark. >> police are still looking for the suspect who is described as a black male, at least 6 feet tall, 220 pounds. the school will hold several security forums including one tomorrow night at 6:00 p.m. parking rates in san jose have not changed in 11 years. but a new plan calls for doubling the amount of money you will need to feed meters around the city. san jose wants to replace its old coin-operated meter with 1200 solar powered smart meters. they except debit and credit cards, coins and payments via -- via cell phone. the meters transmit parking

information. the increase from $1 to $2 is needed to pay for the meters that will cost $1.3 million. >> it's inconvenient to look for fines when we go to san pedro market and park on the street. but to raise the cost is -- i would just like to see the cost stay down. >> city council is set to vote next week on the new meters. if approved, they will be installed in march. it's a mostly cloudy mainly dry day for your tuesday. we'll have the opportunity of seeing some rain. i will show you that coming up. but first a live look at all of the gray sky over the east bay. at this hour, and into the afternoon, we should remain quite the same. a few sprinkles have been reported in areas like sonoma county. but it has not amounted to much. let me show you the system here. riding over the ridge of high pressure, even redding and crescent city, not really reporting a whole lot. you can see a few sprinkles.

peninsula. 5:00, 6:00, it's shifting into the south bay or i should say by 7:00 and then as we get through the morning hours, it's already out of here. so i'm thinking as we get going thursday morning, maybe not a lot of rain falling on us, but the roads are going to be slick. i'm going to run us through thursday into friday. it looks like we may see another chance of scattered showers on friday. how much rain do i expect out of this system? unfortunately, not a lot. it's definitely going to be enough to slicken up the roads. you will need the umbrella if you are gonna be out early on thursday. .25 in santa rosa. 60 degrees in san francisco. 59 in napa. 65 in antioch. mostly cloudy. mid-50s to mid-60s outside. in the afternoon, we'll remain in the 60s. 60s expected for novato this afternoon. richmond, 60 degrees. 62 for castro valley. 61 san leandro with mostly cloudy skies. temperatures in the low to mid-
