that above average temperatures and all that sun that was with us. so you know, we could use some more rain, right? the lawns and the reservoirs, cars all doing well above average. and with two years back to back at or above average, well above average for last year, that's pretty, pretty big bonus for us. here's a look at live doppler seven. so the rain continues to move from the northwest to the southeast and there should be a few showers left over, even in the north bay. throughout the next few hours. but the focus here from the peninsula to 80 burlingame, san mateo, the wet weather highway one pacifica into the south bay and you'll notice as we get to santa clara, alum rock, milpitas, and right through sunnyvale 82 there it is certainly wet with some light to moderate rain down through boulder creek, scotts valley, over a half inch of rain here. and really we had more rain in the south bay than the north bay. and it is still with us. you can see just in pockets here, just a little bit off the coast up through napa.

windy afternoon. what's left of the rain is a couple hundredths. that's about it. through about 2:00 this afternoon. and then it's all about the northwesterly winds increasing throughout the day. here's a look at the rest of the afternoon where we get to 40 miles an hour at the coast. still a little bit breezy throughout the evening. and then for your monday we're dry, but once again over 20 to 25 mile an hour winds. so with the snow still coming down anywhere from two inches at incline six at kirkwood and the accuweather seven day forecast featuring the dry afternoon today, 63 in vallejo, 62 san mateo, and with those gusty winds. and then monday and tuesday we're looking not bad temperatures coming up in the mid 60s inland. still cool at the coast wednesday, thursday and friday. level one systems with more rain and then the weekend could be dry, but it's a little too far out to be

>> the rangers say some of the trash has been transported off site, but most of it is sitting and stinking in this lot, waiting to be hauled away, repairing the trash truck could take a while. and why is it taking so long to fix the truck, well, the repairs are pretty extensive. and, because, you know, we're using federal dollars to, repair this, this truck, we have to go through a specific process. >> hervey says. in the meantime, the national seashore is asking something unusual from every visitor. take your trash home. >> it would help us a lot if visitors could kind of, you know, share the burden with us. by. by. by taking home whatever they bring to the seashore. >> that request is posted on the park's website. hikers and campers say they are happy to oblige. >> i would never leave my trash on the trails, and it will probably come back with me and go back into my car and then head back to berkeley. >> by the way, rangers say the

>> disappointed, obviously, in this home stand, we were hoping to, to get all three and we only got one and that's put us in a tough spot. we got to figure out how to play right. >> we got to compete and we got to win every game. now we basically fight and uh- for our for a chance at the playoffs. >> it just presents more issues of how we need to, you know, bounce back and whether we're going to be playing for something and a couple of weeks or not, because you know, you know, nothing's guaranteed. i think we have enough pride to bounce back. and i think we want it bad enough and got to go show it. >> ncaa tournament jack gold helped 14 seed oakland of michigan pull the upset over kentucky in the first round, taking on 11 seed nc state. trip to the sweet 16 on the line. gokey made ten threes on thursday, six more in this one. 16 threes the most by anybody in their first two tourney games. even steph that's former stanford man michael o'connell. hoop and the foul for nc state. we go to overtime in ot. nc state's 275 pound d.j. burns

next saturday against houston. that's your look at sports. have a great sunday. we'll send it back to you. >> thanks chris. let's get a check of the bay area forecast with meteorologist lisa argen. i know we're seeing windy conditions after a night of rain. >> yeah that's right. and the rain. lauren continues to sink to the south and east. there's still showers out there. level one system will take us through about 11 12:00, and then we'll get into partly cloudy and very windy conditions. here's a look at the peninsula. we can see a very few light showers here over into the east bay, san ramon a little wet as well as hayward, but the main activity has been from the peninsula to the south bay. right now, as you look at highway 85 there and 87 south of willow glen, the wet weather there and further to the east as we look at mount hamilton, it has been coming down here throughout the morning hours and you can see right along the coast here from montara to half moon bay in through santa cruz, salinas, the wet weather that will take us through the afternoon. and in the north bay,

not a whole lot, but still a few isolated showers as we get going this morning. the sun coming up in a few minutes and you can see all the clouds. but what a view from our sutro tower camera 50, in san francisco it is 53, in hayward, upper 40s san mateo with half moon bay at 50 and the gusty winds up to 40 miles an hour right along the shoreline. today a cool 44 in santa rosa with 47 in napa, 50 concord livermore checking in at 49 right now. so compared to yesterday, we are 2 to 4 degrees cooler. and that trend will continue in some parts of the bay. but i think where we see the sun will be warming up to near average in the mid 60s, perhaps in the north bay. but look at the wind already 20 to 22 miles an hour elsewhere. not much of a factor yet. upper elevations winds near 40 miles an hour around mount diablo. right there in mount eminem, about 20 miles an hour by the way, we picked up over a half inch in the santa cruz mountains. lesser amounts in the north bay, the golden gate bridge there, some wet pavement, and with the showers winding

down the morning will be a little bit slick out there, the winds kicking up partly cloudy this afternoon into your monday and even tuesday and then wednesday, thursday, friday. level one systems. the rain coming back into play and over the weekend it looks like the next system may dive south of the bay area and hit southern california pretty hard. we'll have to wait and see how the forecast models handle that. nine 930 notice there's still showers around, but by the second half of the day, the activity should be in the upper elevations, maybe healdsburg, out towards sacramento, mount diablo, mount hamilton, the rest of us. partly cloudy, increasing northwesterly winds up to 30 miles an hour, and more than that along the coast. so what's left is anywhere from a couple of hundredths, maybe nothing for some of you, maybe six hundredths down in fremont and here's a look at that wind throughout the day today. the yellows, the oranges, and then the reds and purples really get going. and that shows the winds increasing throughout the day as that system slides to the south of us. and then we'll dial back a little bit through the

overnight hours. it's been snowing pretty good in the mountains with temperatures in the upper 20s, the gusty winds anywhere from about 2 to 6in of snow left with our advisories ending from about 8:00 to 11:00 this morning, and they'll be more fresh powder with that other system. i talked about the second half of the workweek, so getting outside today, temperatures will be in the low 60s, partly cloudy conditions for most of us, but for the south bay we'll hold on to some clouds and shower activity throughout the morning hours. and then things will be really gusty right along the shoreline. breezy in our inland valleys. the accuweather seven day forecast level one system today for the first half of the day, then drying out the second half low to mid 60s. bayside and inland upper 50s. windy at the coast and then our break the second half of the day. for most of us, monday and tuesday. and then wednesday the rain comes back into thursday and friday. and then looking at perhaps a wet weekend or a dry weekend, we can't tell yet. oh man. yeah. so

you'll have to stay tuned and check back with us. >> yeah, crossing my fingers that it's going to be nice for easter. >> i know it would be. it's always kind of iffy for easter. oh my gosh. >> all right lisa thank you. you can track the weather anytime with abc seven bay area app. download it now and you'll be able to use the live doppler seven to track the rain. just search but we're just getting started. everything going well? oh yeah. let's take a look at this knee. because it's the work behind the scenes, that truly matters.

in santa cruz. it's a program called operation surf. the founder says he found purpose through the ocean and surfing. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains how veterans are now doing the same. >> the ocean has a way of calming. many military veterans have a hard time finding peace after serving, but these waves are bringing them to exactly where they want to be. >> the ocean. you have to be present, completely mindful. i'm here. i'm not back in the middle east. i'm not. i'm not in the past. i'm in the present. >> healing heroes, one wave at a time. the mission of operation surf, the week long program has brought vets to the santa cruz coast for more than a decade. it builds a supportive community through the healing powers of the ocean. >> i definitely felt like i was unique. the problems that i had, i was the only one experiencing uh- an operation surf allowed me to connect with other combat veterans and people that had

gone through exactly the same things that i have. >> operation surf was founded by someone familiar with mental health struggles. van carozza suffered from addiction. surfing helped save his life and created a way for him to find the positives. he now helps veterans do the same. going through my journey of recovery, i realized how powerful the ocean was to me and i was recognizing a lot of their their mindsets and a lot of their challenges was similar to mine. >> even though i'd never been in the military. everything that we try to do is something that has helped me. >> the ocean truly is a metaphor for life.s ever present and ever changing. it could be calm or sometimes stormy. all aspects of life that describe veterans as well. and it's through this ocean and these waves that their hope is restored. where do you think you would be without this program? >> honestly, i don't know. i'd probably be metaphorically, somewhere lost at sea. each wave brings them a little bit closer and closer back to their family, back to their community with the love and support and there's a lot of connecting moments here.

we all have our highs and our lows, the high tides, the low tides. but when you rise and fall together, you're not alone. >> united they stand with nothing but support. should they fall in santa cruz. dustin dawsey, abc seven news. >> great program. well, thank you for joining us. for lisa and everyone here at abc seven. i'm lauren martinez. the news continues at 9 a.m. have a great day and stay dry.
