april is a critical time for water managers as they decide how much water will have for the year and if water restrictions might be needed this year. we are not expecting to see any restrictions. >> the heavy rain has closed beaches in los angeles for days now. health leaders are worried that all the worried, all the water washed, bad bacteria into the ocean. l.a. county's health department says intense storms like what they saw over the weekend, can wash tons of bacteria from city streets to the coast. they are worried about people getting sick just from being in the ocean waters right now. they hope they can reopen the beaches by wednesday morning, but they won't do that if it rains again. >> new at six a dramatic rescue in the north bay, the sonoma county sheriff's office called to help southern marin fire last night. take a look. a man fell 50 to 60ft down a cliff near battery alexander, which is in the golden gate national recreation area. rescue crews were able to lift the man off the cliff and fly him back to
