picking up on an initial band of some lighter rain here, but as the upper low kind of tracks into northern californiatral california, we could have a few isolated downpours overnight. partly cloudy skies for a time on sunday, but still, the ongoing shower chances where most of the bay area should see about a 10th of an inch of rain to locally, a quarter inch in spots where you do have that chance of some isolated thunderstorms, maybe some small hail. given that chilly air aloft. monday right now looks to be dry as the clouds increase again. next chance of rain should hold off until about early on tuesday morning. and kind of interesting to look at this next window of rain. who sees the most rain from tuesday through thursday might actually end up being the santa cruz mountains and then down the central coast, which tells you something about storm two taking a more central to southern california approach for midweek through about thursday. right now, the driest part of next week could be friday through about saturday. then as we head towards late next sunday, more rain and more sierra snow on the way.

opportunity to visit a school, a public school that was run by the year of tribal nation in northern california. and one of the things that the school did was that they established standards for their school and they used the state standards because they wanted their students to be able to pass state tests. and they also used the standards from the local community college because they wanted their students to be able to thrive there. but they also developed community standards. and so, for example, they sat down as a community and said, what are the things that are really important to us? they said, it's important for young people to be able to speak our language. it's important for them to know our heritage and our traditions. it's important for them to be kind to elders. and so this was a school where you would actually be assessed on how have you interacted with your elders recently, right? how have you interacted with our heritage, with our culture. and, you know, that is that's one solution where that school said we want these state standards to live side by side with things that we value.
