and it's around an environment that's a lot colder keeps going higher and higher condensing the ice crystals and they rub against each other and waymo you get sometimes get lightning or you can also get some hail too, with that. if you get those updrafts to make those hailstones a little bit larger, probably won't be at the severe level, though, but that just means general thunder showers in that zone. and it's following the quarter low with a little bit as what it's torn. futurecast for nice break. start to happen a little bit. then another little package towards the late afternoon after we get the daytime heating. that's where the concern is. so this may fire off the fireworks, pardon the pun, if you will, as we get to the late afternoon evening hours. then tonight we get a little break. the law was still in our backyard here, starting the day off with some showers and the very far to the south and north of us. then after more daytime heating again and a little package to make note of to that. also may have some sparking going on with it as well after the last package were pretty much clear as we go into next week with another bout of that kind of summer weather almost winds. this

goes to the higher levels and that's where the colder air is to drive hail and thunder showers. that's a possibility because of the timing later on this afternoon and into the sea. that's get back to future cast for here. here's this clear patch. we're talking about and boom right there as we have the maximum energy in the atmosphere, things can happen potentially. so a little bit quieter night tonight into your sunday with those rain around us a little bit. and then it kind of takes a break in the afternoon. you can see this is right mention about some breaks of sun potentially trying to come through there. and this last little wave of some showers that could have it in bed. a few little thunder showers. the wind's going to be active all day today from an offshore direction. not a surprise because where the low is, the winds are pretty much in the teens in the 20's and all of this, not particularly real, real heavy. it's not popping to the advisory strength level as we venture into sunday, a little bit less active. so that's one of the reasons why they haven't posted one. but if you're in and it's a little bit uncomfortable with the rain going kind of sideways a

little bit. all right. here's a look at what we've got going on today. rain with some scattered showers as we talked about possible thunder shower early and late showers for tomorrow. it's really the secondary dosed that's worth noting here breaks in the afternoon sun there and the next week clearing and warming. it looks like and we'll see those temperatures return to their spread like numbers that we saw last week. but today, don't bet on it. 59 san franciaco, maybe popping 63 san jose, 62. meanwhile, for oakland in our big temperature map, there has middle 2 upper 50's pretty much firmly in place. so going to be quite for this weekend. it looks like, but, you know, step in a longer range forecast. get to that later. but the long-range forecast says besides just warming up this week, next weekend should remain dry. okay. good there, too. all right. so we're just kind of >> hunker down this and it will pass it to be out about this is not the best day. tomorrow is a little better but got to do what you got to do. all right. thanks so much. data. all right. >> well, happening today, san

go forward. >> fighting cloud cover now up in yosemite national park. yeah, there's the snow kind of there packing up a little bit. it's a bit more. i see, as you may recall from last week, we're going to be adding a little bit more to that as this next system makes way. they're calling a cloudy on sunday, but i think we'll get some snow tonight and then into tomorrow. then we start warming up pretty quickly, 60. it looks like already by tuesday, lots of sunshine. it probably should be pretty good for you next weekend. included with that, too. here's a storm tracker. 4. there's the break i just referenced with another line out here after we get the daytime heating, that mixture that means could get some thunder showers in there and in the future cast for you. see what i'm talking about going forward. here we go. package off towards our west and that looks like that will cover san francisco up tumor and a little bit. that's again after we get the maximum heating of the day. the tomorrow won't be quite as active, but there's still another shoe to fall late in the afternoon. make note rainfall collection from this point going forward. not a lot. this includes sunday's

event that i mentioned as well. get more than a quarter of an inch up towards the north bay. but it's pretty much a quarter of an inch or less across the wider bay. this is a all the way till monday sunday morning might have some bouts of early rain showers in the afternoon. maybe a hit, but the nets, it will be finding some cloud cover early on. but after about wednesday, it's another warm up phase to get us almost into summer, maybe late spring and tour spring as we see some 80's start popping particularly well inland. it looks at this point like it might be a dry weekend heading our way. there's the warm up. you can see tuesday wednesday at 78 to about 80 by thursday and again watching out for some cold thunder showers later on this afternoon. stephanie. >> all right, dave, thank you. feeling stressed. well, the good news is you're not alone. in today's fast paced world, chronic stress is a common problem. as is the pressure to look perfect. april is stress awareness month and joining us live now to offer some guidance that we can all use

this morning is doctor jen douglas. she's a bay area based psychologist and executive coach. good morning to you, doctor jen. good morning, stephanie. i'm so glad to be here. yes, we're so happy to have you. you know, you and i actually connected because you have a viral social media online where you offer such great advice to people who are experiencing that chronic stress. so first of all, just wanted to get your send. get a sense from you just how extreme is the issue of stress here in the bay area? i think the bay-area we're number one like we really do a great job of stress here day. i've worked all over the country and the only other. >> see that holds a candle to us in terms of competition, stress and perfectionism is new york is and there's just you can see why there's there's so much success. there's so much economic activity m and that breeds comparison. it could feeling less than can breed like that. we constantly feel like we're not doing and so we unfortunately have a lot of work to do in our area. yes,

so one of the things you bring up is this sense of comparison. and we also talked during a bit during the commercial break about this. this pressure that so many of us constantly feel to also look perfect present this a certain image on social media or just external roundabout. so can you tell us a bit about what's driving that and how we can address that? >> absolutely. so it's it's not fundamentally a bad thing to want to present nicely to others because it's really about, you know, we're we're driven psychologically for acceptance, were driven psychologically, be connected to other people. and so i don't want people to beat up on themselves you know, want to do great work and i want, you know, the other moms. it's cool to like me and things like that. that's perfectly normal. from an evolutionary perspective. the problem is, is when our dose of comparison, when our dose of perfectionism gets ramped up by things like social media, real housewives seeing everybody else with, you know, whatever, do your bags,

whatever it might be. right. and then it starts to pull us away from the things that really matter in our lives. and really, we find ourselves preoccupied and not enjoying the moment. so one of the things that we should be looking at instead, yes, so there's something that i really love to talk about that we call values based living. so no matter who you are going or what type of stress you have, it could be stress from work. it could be family could be financial whenever we drill down to what truly makes a person happy and should be motivating them in their day-to-day life, it has to do with their individual so for one person, it might be helping out the community being involved for another person. it might be bringing awareness to political situation over another person. it's making sure that their kid, you know, sees them when they get home from school every for another person might be working hard to get a bigger guard for their dog. doesn't matter what it is, but we want to make sure that we are being led by our own internal compass north stars. what i call rather than seeking external validation

from everybody else is telling us is important. yes, yes, i've been reading a lot about this, too. and i think this ties a lot into the pressure that parents feel nowadays as well to get their kids into the universities. a lot of acceptance letters are coming in right now on the pressure to, you know, get their kids on. the best teams have been to all the extra curriculars get the straight what is the guidance to parents and also to the younger folks going through the pressure of all this right now? yes, i feel so bad, honestly, for the younger generation to do. >> i was hoping college acceptance letters, but i wasn't doing it live on social media for all the world to see, which is now a trend, but we do and we see it in the bay area, you know, not just college. i see it, you know, with my clients who are worried about where their kids go to kindergarten. oh, wow. and first grade 6th grade high so again, we want to slow down a bit and remind ourselves, you know, question i i always ask of people is, you know, when you look back at your life when you're 80. what do you want to remember about your you know, and and so and

leading that example for our children. so i don't want to be, you know, 80 years old, my 80th birthday party thinking i got into this school go me. i would hope there are more important things my life more meeting held in case. okay. and so leading by example, you know, i'm a mom now about to be tends read think what's really important for me is setting an example for my daughter that her find your own internal compass and what makes her happy. >> that's the foundation. and then we can work around to how that fits in with in our lovely stressful capitalist and then we go from there. so, for example, of the things that you might observe about her, what she does day-to-day that, you kind of you that you work on supporting that nice job, getting the arab. how that work? exactly. exactly. yes, it's a very we we talk about radical acceptance. you know, when we talk about psychology and therapy and things like that, and so even

if she's interested in something that i absolutely and not a fan for instance, i don't. we're on tv site, went out and bought makeup but don't normally work. okay. i'm not that kind christian and but she asked for makeup for her birthday. so this child owns much more make up than i that. so so it's something that, you know, i it is sort of in my brand of feminism for my generation of like 80's babies raised in the 90's. we were kind of anti but now it's recognizing her generation there's all this empowerment around all these things that are different than when i grow up and rather than forcing my values upon her. i want to foster who she is as a person and sort of i tell people my biggest job is to get out of her way. that's a lovely thing. in our last about 30 seconds here for anyone who is experiencing a lot of stress or they catch themselves in the middle of the day be like, oh, i'm doing a lot of

anxiety. water is just some easy quick things that they can do on the spot to kind of ease themselves out of it. it's a wonderful question. i'm so glad you asked. so the first thing is literally step away from the screens. most of us when we're feeling bored, tired, upset, we turn to our phones and our social media. and so one thing i tell folks is just to get outside, get out of the building, if you can or go to a window. you know, you're stuck in a big office building and put your phone away and look up. even discussed in coming days like today. it kind of reminds us and we actually really cool psychological northside data that when our receive images from nature that actually naturally calms us. there are patterns that are repeating, but they're irregulars. so, you know, believes oak tree are somewhat similar. but a little bit different our brain, ashley finds that meditative without a see the notes case, some helpful

guidance there. thank you so much. all right, doctor jen douglas, a bay area, basic college is an executive coach. thank you so much for your work. thank you for having course. our pleasure. and course. our pleasure. and we'll be right back.
