breezy and this will take us into sunday. the winds subsiding by that point and the sun coming up, we'll see a lot of sun going on to market those puddles that we're creating already. again, here's a nice gap going on here in the upstream. a new clump of activity to make note of that into early next week. we'll be watching temperature check for mid to upper 50's. 57 going on for oakland. 55 conquered. 56 for any off. 55 mean, well for san francisco. just going to build on that by couple degrees this afternoon. so let's watch the longer range forecast a deal here. we break up with another batch of timing of this appears to be in time for the tuesday morning commute. but it doesn't seem to have quite the intensity that this one did along with the package a little bit, ehe way of some mountain snows. another batch worth noting by wednesday and kind of playing out thursday as well. again, coupled with this mountain snow. so that's nice to get a nice break into the following weekend. and then upstream. more to make note of the following week, which will be monitoring today. again, breaking up those skies for the afternoon.

we'll call it about 59 san francisco. 62 oakland, 65 for san jose. again afternoon. clearing is the theme we've got to lower 60's at work for much of the geography, although 55 for of allay 67 for santa rosa. a show quite a bit of traffic on their of things coming in going. let's check out that 7 day forecast. you have it. we stay pretty much in the 60's to the entire period. but another batch worth noting on tuesday, thursday, breaking things up in time for the weekend. wednesday might have some crossing of some activity as well and 60's for the bay area. looks like easter sunday looks sunny, however, for passover this week, it looks like kind of an unsettled pattern with gun in the mid to upper 60's. >> thanks very much table. keep those umbrellas handy with more vaccines become more widely available. you might be thinking about planning your next trip abroad. and when we think about a dream vacation, the islands of tahiti like spots like bora bora and maria might come to mind. but with more than 100 islands, the

best known spot spots aren't the only ones to consider our travel expert dana redmond joins us now. good torning, dana. >> good morning, stephanie. i don't think there's a bad choice when it comes to traveling in french polynesia. every island offers a really unique experience. but as more folks begin to travel again, many are seeking out destinations where they can kind of separate themselves from crowds, french polynesia was awestruck islands are located about 400 miles south of the island of to tahiti and the really relatively unknown because getting there takes a little bit of extra work. limited flight schedules can make logistics. a little tricky, but there's a new option for travelers with a sense of adventure. let's put it that way. cruising aboard a freighter ship that does double duty carrying passengers as well. the r a new leaf. i've offers about 100 state rooms in addition to being able to carry 2500 times

of freight. this isn't luxury experience. there aren't bells and whistles like casinos or broadway ask style shows there's a restaurant, a pool and a very friendly polynesian crew. our first stop this morning, the island, a route to with 2500 residents. it's one of 5 inhabited austral islands, beautiful yeah. beautiful beaches. know how to get your attention. but there's a lot more to see here. the island boasts towering limestone cliffs and caves. i hope is one of the more easily accessible caves. after less than a 10 minute walk. you just find this setting where there's covering the ground and stalactites hanging from above. i'm rich who is also home to a coffee cooperate from drying and roasting to grinding in hand packaging. you get a good sense of the care that goes into the coffee production on the island. so kind of a unique experience different

than what you would find maybe on bora bora or other islands. the island of remote tara, it's much smaller. you can probably walk across the entire island in about 30 minutes. its population just shy of 900 people and about 500 endangered lower. it heats. and even if you don't consider yourself a birdwatching type, their vivid coloring makes them really fun. i described them as kind of like flying rainbows. it makes them some really just to keep an eye out for him. when you spot them, they're easy to see in those tree tops. and you can usually hear them as well. our last stop this morning, the island of rid of the day when most folks think about french polynesia, its beaches and beautiful blue water that immediately come to mind and there's no shortage of that in strolls the last. this is the last island for today. it's sometimes referred to as the bora bora of the

austral think soft lights and warm water sort. lows will be very, very happy hearing could easily spend all day in water along with vibrant coral. there's colorful fish. and in some instances, i think those fish are just curious about people. he's we are about them. so a visit to the austral islands definitely off the beaten path, not for everyone, but along with beautiful landscapes that people want from french polynesia travelers are going to have the opportunity to learn more about french polynesian culture that may not present themselves visiting some of the more mainstream. 9 pretty incredible video that you're sharing with us. here now to is this video. you took yourself all you visited >> so you got to see some endangered wildlife and got super close to that fish. there. so that is a porcupine fish and then and he kind of came swimming up to me. like, who are you? what are you doing you we had a lot of

funds, women in that beautiful to water. absolutely. so is a pretty rural out there like it seems like the wildlife weren't too apprehensive of of humans. >> absolutely. i would say that is the case because they have not, you know, a smaller interaction. from my perspective. it absolutely absolutely seemed like they weren't so scared of us. and again, they were curious about us just like we were curious about and, you know, i'm i'm also curious to know what the travel process was like getting there given that, you know, we are still kind of operating under pandemic. >> was that experience like for you? >> sure. yeah. getting into french polynesia right now. so i cleared head clear about 3 covid test- in about 48 hours. one 24 hours before my flight, one immediately landing at the airport and 3rd one about 12 hours later before getting on the ship. so plenty of covid test. yes. and you pretty safe the entire time when it came to your own personal health and safety. absolutely. i

mean, you know, with. covid testing isn't convenient. we all know that it's tricky. keeping it in those windows isn't always easy. but there are many places in the world that are doing that. so if you're the type of travel that is may be apprehensive, definitely knowing that everyone around you has cleared those covid test in this covid tests. in addition to yourself where public make you feel a little more ease. great. thank you so much for that insight. dana redmond, our travel enthusiast or a crime for thank you. >> thanks so much, stephanie. i will be right back after this.
