>>take all the rain we can get chief meteorologist lawrence karnow joins us on this friday night with a look at what's to come over the weekend a large yeah, this one of those what can use the word storm loosely not going to be a huge rainmaker. but certainly if you're up early in the morning might affect your plans so we're going to likely see some scattered showers popping up around the bay area. it's going to be fairly light, maybe just a few hundreds, but certainly looks like it is going to come through tonight, the clouds are to begin to pour in your skies and we're going to see more of those clouds throughout the night tonight thickening up and for you nobody gets and tomorrow morning we're talking about some scattered showers doppler radar right now looking across your skies and we're staying mostly dry. you can see the cloud cover in gray city across the entire bay area, the rain really located up to the north right now you can see it making its way up in the far northern california, the brunt of that storm system it's got a ways to go before it gets here by the time pulls into the bay area starts to fall apart just a bit so that being said the wind may may be

a bigger factor i think by tomorrow afternoon is a blustery all day long we've had 2030 mile an hour gust, a blow 29 in mill valley, 23 in pacifica 22 in san francisco, 20 that's a phone 23 in the nation now these winds are generally on the west, those winds are going to start switch directions as this cold front comes into town, here's liz forecast model we head through the night tonight and see the winds kind of briefly above break down just a bit by tomorrow morning again started ramping up gust in sandra fell to 43 miles per hour that be pretty impressive if that happens then by the afternoon you feel the effects of all the winds all around the bay area look the colors you got the red you've got the purple out there you look for skill 3040 mile an hour gusts. so blustery afternoon on tap for the bay area tomorrow, not much in the way of rain. but we'll see plenty of snow so how about that lot of snow in the sierra nevada if you're headed up their winter weather advisory going up across higher regions of the sierra above 5,000 feet or so we're looking at maybe as much as 8 maybe 10 inches of snow the higher peaks and that continuing until saturday morning so that being said

you're trying to time out when you get the high country if you have left already, but we got that snow coming in tomorrow probably not a good time to come and then as you get into sunday that should be a dry day but on monday the day lot of folks heading back on presidents day that we've got to make sure some rain and some snow of course that might snarl of traffic out there just a bit that being said we've got increasing clouds tonight, cool temperatures around the bay area tomorrow morning showers then a blustery afternoon sunday, partly cloudy skies with some cool weather. yeah, it looks like things are getting a little bit cooler spots right now but we have seen those winds kicking up and i think that will be the story tomorrow as we'll see those winds really kind of whip it across your skies, but they got that system kind of rolling in tomorrow that will make the change for looks like saturday, but it's not to ruin your entire weekend. 2nd half your weekend looks pretty good. and you know what happens in the 2nd half your weekend though. and see he's you know what yeah yeah you should thankful reminding forecast to make sure you get everything right before we lawrence.

a new expansion for those between the ages of 16 to 64 suffering from issues such as cancer chronic heart or kidney diseases or if they're pregnant can get the shot state health leaders also told health care providers friday people with developmental or high-risk disabilities will also be allowed to get vaccinated i'd to see as many people get actually possible particularly those surge higher >>increased. >>chances for running up in the hospital increase chances for a dime doctor john swartzberg an infectious disease expert at the u c berkeley school of public health says one issue with this expansion is verifying the severity of someone's health condition, health care providers have been told by the state as of march 15th, they may use their clinical judgment to give out the vaccine is trying to parse out these kind of issues is really. >>you're a difficult. >>in any circumstance specialist in the middle of a pandemic and when people need

to give even with current issues with 2 can get the vaccine. the amount of doses has been low across the state and appointments have been filling up quickly. >>expanding the eligibility pool likely build upon those frustrations if the supply continues to not meet the dub and doctor swartzberg expects it will take until at least april 4 things to run smoothly. what we need to do is have the logistics working hand in glove are sitting here and >>with the vaccine supply and we're not there yet. >>well the state is still looking into how underlying health conditions will be verified if somebody is seeking a vaccination and may require at some 0.4 people to bring documents in order to prove that they have these conditions at least the severity of these conditions in order to qualify. once this does go into effect we're looking at 19 million californians that will be able to get the shot and for a complete list on eligibility you can go to our website kron

to educators. obviously extremely concerned. >>that was interesting newsome has proposed billions in funding for testing contact tracing and personal protective equipment. he's also promising more transparency tools like this new interactive color-coded map which launched today showing which schools are open and where across the state you can see which areas are doing distance learning only maybe a hybrid situation will differentiate that also where there is no update available them at full display data from school types all kinds of school including school districts charter as well as private schools, the california department of public health will be adding other key data to the map including outbreaks reported in school districts you can find the interactive map on our website kron 4 dot com. and on the federal level today, the cdc released its much anticipated guidelines on
