other car's windshield. and according to deputies, the victim was being chased by the suspect and then exited the freeway in order to avoid getting into an argument. that's when the man they say blocked the driver's car got out through this weapon at the windshield before leaving the scene. detectives were able to track down that man just a few days later following his involvement in yet another road rage incident. the suspect also had an outstanding felony warrant for first-degree robbery at the time. his arrest metro. they didn't have dash cam video. all right. anybody have travel plans coming up because if you're going to hawaii, some things have changed. the state is now once again issuing covid-19 restrictions. the governor signed an executive order that is now in effect includes limiting social gatherings to 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors high-risk businesses, including restaurants, bars, gyms and churches will be capped at 50% capacity and for

events that are larger than 50 people like weddings. organizers must contact their county leaders in order to get approval and move forward as of right now, there have been no changes to the state's safe travels program and fully vaccinated. people can travel to hawaii without getting a covid test. first. the drought is forcing people mendocino county to conserve water, even tourists are now being asked to take shorter showers. county officials say they're also seeing a significant drop in the county's water reserves. and in response, some hotels have closed. their lobby is closed. the restrooms. others have stopped watering their lawns. we're also asking their guest to shorten showers and conserve water. whenever possible. >> there's a lot of fear. the worst drought since at least 1977 it's we have communities without water, infrastructure. >> that's definitely really scary running out of water.

>> some hotels are having to find water a lot farther away which can be expensive. they say if it gets worse, they may have to start closing rooms, which obviously that cost them money. and happening tonight. it's the annual perseid meteor showeo. the meteor shower is known for those frequent occurrences of those fireball meteors that we have a glowing trail for just a few seconds. the peak of that shower is tonight. so will we be able to see. it is the question will check in now with our meteorologist mabrisa rodriguez to see if the weather will be clear enough for us to view this cool sight tonight. it depends on where you live. just seems. so let's take a look at your microclimate forecast because we are tracking mostly sunny skies out there along the coast. >> tracking that marine layer trying to make its way along the bay area coastline. but it says monsoonal moisture believe or not that we have to watch out for going to increase those mid upper level clouds throughout the bay area, slight chance of pop-up thunderstorms as well. right

now our outlook looking drier more stable atmosphere so that sort of pop-up thunderstorms right now, not looking to be a threat, but as that high cloud cover that's going to be an issue. so by 11 o'clock tonight, we're going to see visibility pretty poor for the perseids meteor shower. for those of you in the south bay, not to battle along the coast and most of the east bay shoreline. but during the overnight hours, that's when we're going to notice that blanket of high cloud cover. so take advantage at around 11 o'clock because that is when the meteor shower is set to peak tonight through 3 o'clock thursday morning but around midnight. that's when we're going to notice that high cloud cover along most of our east bay and south bay valley starting to increase because of that monsoonal moisture from the south making its way north. so along the coast in north bay. that is going to be your best that we could see up to a 100 meteors per hour from debris from that swift tuttle comet. so we are going to notice quite a lot of activity out there tonight in the sky this evening in the bay area. unfortunately, dry outlook and
