statewide, it is 105% of normal for this time of year. and the snowpack is vital, of course, to the state's water supply. two wet winters in a row has helped erase years of drought conditions and a similar story. of course, here in the bay area, with all the rain we've been getting. but today we get a break so those egg hunts won't be all muddy today. lisa, how's it looking? >> yeah, you know, it is going to be a little on the wet side with the dew, you know, this morning. but yes, we're getting a break the afternoon though, could see some showers upper elevations because the atmosphere still pretty unstable. so the north bay, east bay hills, while the rest of us are mainly dry. a lot like yesterday, though. boy, those storms really came into play late in the afternoon. so not as intense as your saturday afternoon, but you can see that lightning strike well to the south of us, even though the area of low pressure is well to the south, we still have that unstable, cool air aloft and that will initiate perhaps some activity later on today. so

there's a closer look of soggy central and southern california. right now it is in the 40s, upper 40s. so certainly cool out there. will settle into those low to mid 50s in the next couple of hours. if you're headed out early. and as we look at our highlights then for today, a mix of sun and clouds, that slight chance of a shower comes into play. or a thunderstorm throughout the later afternoon. we are sunny and warmer. high pressure builds in monday and tuesday and then looking at rain returning as early as thursday into friday. much cooler conditions. here's our high resolution hour by hour forecast. you can see the fog and low clouds at the coast, the north bay holding on to some cloud cover, and then we break out into mostly sunny skies. but you'll notice after about 2:00, we'll begin to see some of those cumulus clouds bubble up, and the possibility from the east bay, the diablo range into the north bay, the south bay could see a few showers. in addition

to that, we will be breezy. here's a look at the afternoon winds anywhere from 15 to 25 miles an hour. so certainly on the cooler side. but we're going to fix that as we get into the early part of the week. temperatures warming up on your monday. this is tuesday likely the warmest day of the week with highs in the mid 70s inland. look at the low 70s bay shore and then some 60 at the coast. we'll get that sea breeze, but then things get really breezy and much cooler as we get into wednesday. notice the cool down. we're much cooler into the low 60s upper 50s coast. and then here we go into thursday where temperatures struggling to get out of the 50s. this is when we'll see that trough swing on through. could see some showers as early as thursday night into friday. and at this point we can't promise a dry weekend. so enjoy the next couple of days if you like it. warmer and sunnier highs today in the low 60s for you in oakland, 64 in fremont,

partly cloudy skies. we'll have a lot of sunshine, but by late in the day could see a possible shower. upper elevations. the accuweather seven day forecast. sunny and warmer for the first day of april into tuesday. slightly cooler into wednesday. the much cooler day is thursday. level one system on friday and the weekend. well, we'll see, but at this point it's definitely going to be on the cooler side. stephanie. >> lisa thank you. when we return big name companies take matters into their own hands. how? making sure employees feel safe going to and from work

three times fewer people. but it's well known among nonprofits that the program was hit hard during covid. >> public transportation wasn't accessible. you know, we weren't able to put people on busses and get them to where they they wanted to go. >> also, during the pandemic, the homeless became more isolated and the use of fentanyl escalated dramatically. more people became highly addicted to a drug that, according to the centers for disease control and prevention, is 50 times more potent than heroin. what keeps you here in san francisco? >> i mean, i have habits that are, you know, easily more accessible out here. >> unfortunately, what is more accessible? >> uh- my substance use turin. >> ralea moved here from san luis obispo and admits his drug problem has kept him away from home. if you had the opportunity to go back home to a relative or parents, if you do have, would you take that opportunity or is

it hard for you at this point? it's hard for me, but i mean, i still it's hard not being with my family, but, i definitely would take that opportunity up once i better myself and was clean. and, you know, they are not in a position to, you know, give up fentanyl and go home. right i mean, am i correct that the dynamics on the streets have changed? >> that's definitely one piece of it. but one of the things that we do with this legislation is we expand it to shelters, and we expand it to permanent supportive housing. >> safai believes the number of unhoused voluntarily leaving on busses will increase, because there will now be more oversight . the program will be offered at shelters and supportive housing, both the unhoused and even those at risk of becoming homeless are eligible. the data is now collected for the public to see in real time. emily cohen is with the department of homelessness and supportive housing. >> we will be publishing a dashboard on our website and on

the human service agency website that will combine data from both of our programs and publicly communicate the scope and depth of those programs and how they're working from a cost perspective. >> and then verses the emergency room visits, shelter, all the different cities you're talking about thousands and thousands. and so if you're talking about in a, in a budget crisis, in a deficit which we are in, there is an incentive now to help reunify people with their families, because it's also going to save the taxpayers of san francisco a lot of money in san francisco. >> lyanne melendez abc seven news. >> again, the program will be offered at shelters and supportive housing, both the unhoused and even those at risk of being homeless are eligible. lisa how's it looking outside now? >> we've got partly cloudy skies and temperatures are pretty cool in parts of the bay area. 45 in san jose, san francisco is in the upper 40s. we'll be looking at a mainly dry day, but we
