that meeting comes as california lawmakers work to trump proof the state.hat exactly does that mean, and can it be accomplished? we're getting some answers. and joining us right now is abc seven news insider phil matier. phil, nice to see you. >> okay. it's an interesting time, right? >> i mean, because you have newsom, who of course, had called for that special legislative session where they just yesterday passed the bill saying, okay, we're going to give you the money to trump proof california. so now he's headed out there to meet with trump and make nice with gop lawmakers to say, where is our wildfire relief money? >> that's right. now, actually, gavin newsom actually got more than what he asked for. and whether he's happy with that remains to be seen, because it's going to put him in a little bit of a tense situation. what he'd asked for was $25 million to help attorney general rob bonta. if the attorney general finds a reason to sue the trump administration, let's say, to keep them from freezing the money that's entitled to california, or for the idea

aim from san luis obispo, central california to southern california throughout the middle and latterhe week. so we will get some rain. it's cold. we're going to get some snow as well. but notice the colors, those bright colors, the oranges and the reds from the central coast into southern california 4 to 6in here, while the bay area will pick up less in the north bay, more in san francisco and san jose for a change. even livermore getting into the act there. so that's some good news. you need the rain in the valleys of the east bay and the extreme northern part of california, not picking up much at all. so the jet stream splits, and we'll be seeing an interesting outlay of the precip throughout the middle and the end of the week. 57 in oakland, 59 today in san jose, and another round of frost and freeze alerts as temperatures drop off into the low to mid 30s for most of us, upper 30s along the shoreline. and the accuweather seven day forecast. so a string of cold mornings, sunny afternoons, increasing clouds on tuesday, our storm impact scale is back. wednesday, thursday and friday.

trump felt that that was going to help southern california. those reservoirs aren't connected to southern california. that water will not get to southern california and number two, that's water that the corps was holding for farmers to irrigate with next summer. releasing it now when it's raining doesn't do anybody good except it creates the very real risk of potential flooding. >> reporter: barry nelson has his own reasons for being angry about this. he is policy representative for the golden state salmon association which for the last two years has not been able to fish because of the shockingly low numbers of chinook salmon remaining in the wild. >> california salmon are right now at one of the most disastrous points they've been at certainly in human history. we've now gone to a point where many of our most important salmon runs are on the brink of extinction. >> reporter: the fishermen say the salmon need larger flows in rivers during dry months to survive and though they're frequently competing with central valley agriculture for water,

they released a massive flow of water from two california dams.er president trump ordered an increase in water deliveries to southern california. the president celebrated the increased flow in a social media post today, claiming more water would have helped with the l.a. wildfires. local officials say water supplies were sufficient in that area, and the fires are fully contained tonight. state water managers were alarmed by these actions. they noted that releasing water now, when there are winter rainstorms, is wasting reservoir supplies that farmers will need later for irrigation during the dry summer months. senator alex padilla said the water was released into rivers that do not flow to los angeles. senator padilla wrote a letter today demanding answers from defense secretary pete hegseth about the unscheduled water release. he wrote, quote, based on the urgent concerns i have heard from my constituents, as well as recent reporting, it appears that gravely insufficient notification was given, recklessly endangering residents downstream. padilla

there is truly no longer a wildfire season here in california. >> in southern california, it is year now. when you look at their graphs and their data, their long term data in northern california, it's getting longer and longer. it's not quite year round yet, but maybe if we have some sort of extended extreme drought, it could become even longer. >> state senator dave cortese says as the fire season lengthens, the help needs to expand as well. the fight for firefighters act, cortese coauthored would do just that. >> seasonal firefighters that are home watching the super bowl this weekend will suddenly have a job again. >> the proposal would allocate $175 million annually to make more than 3000 seasonal cal fire firefighters full time, providing protection to all corners of the state. >> there's nothing worse than, you know, having a fire break out in in a place, you know, 25 miles, you know, from an urban area, and be right in the middle of cal fire's jurisdiction, you know, only to have no personnel in that station. >> vegetation management crews would also go full time. and assista

a closer look a flu cases in california are on the rise.est positivity for the flu is at levels not seen in several years. according to the state's most recent surveillance data, the rate of infections is on the rise. so why are we seeing this in california and across the country? plus, what do we need to know about the bird flu and eating eggs? we're getting some answers from ucsf infectious disease specialist doctor peter chin hong. thank you so much for being here. >> thanks for having me here, karina. >> let's start with the flu. i feel like we know everyone around us is sick. somebody knows somebody, or you yourself might have been sick. are these infection rates alarming to you? >> they're not alarming. they're still in the realm of the spectrum of where flu can go. so every year we can have anywhere between 35 and above 50,000 deaths, unfortunately. so it falls in that spectrum. the reason why it feels so acute, particularly in the bay area and in california, is that we're going on our curve later than the rest of the country, and it

so that's good news for southern california. of course, all the wire wildfire ravaged areas not going to be able to absorb this rain anywhere from 2 to 4in of rain locally. los angeles probably upwards of near two inches. the rest of us lesser amounts. and these models still battling it out, wanting to bring more rain to san jose than san francisco. we'll see if that pans out, but it looks like we could see upwards of half inch to an inch, maybe in our inland valleys. that would be really good. 56 in fremont, 59 is one of the warmer locations today in san jose. but overnight tonight, once again very cold with temperatures near freezing and numbers even on the coast the next few days really dropping further. the accuweather seven day forecast. we're dry, we're sunny, we're cold the next four days, and then the storm impact scale with a level one on wednesday, thursday and friday. so by that time, i'm sure the north bay will be able to handle the rain, even though it's been a lot. >> and as for the rain next week, the south bay po
