sierra and to the mountains of the coastal range. as far as the temperatures go right now, we are actually going to do okay, we are in the mid-50s but we warm up in the mid 60s today, it just kind of looks great with a little bit of a breeze and feels kind of cool. here's where things get cooler. first the system comes in, tomorrow afternoon, that is going to give us some light rain for the second half of saturday. we do need to talk about saturday since it is your weekend. we will show you that in much more detail coming up. but, with the little time i have left i want you to see the better storm. that one comes in on monday and tuesday. that is the one that will effectively ended the fire season. needs a decent amount of rain for us . i will see with that in a few minutes. a reputation for the filthy streets two years ago voters

the prices that we do. and it is not the right thing for health and safety . >> i think it is a matter of civic pride you know? just keeping it clean makes you feel better, makes you feel in some ways like it is safer. and happier and just more friendly, a better place to live. >> we have you covered on election night, national races and results on kpix 5, local races on kbcw, and streaming on cbs news bay area. our coverage begins tuesday at 5:00. still ahead, a powerball fever was not high enough already, the news that could push even more people to try their luck this weekend. with years and years of california drought built up, why we dive deeper into how the dry conditions are effecting survival of some northern california wildlife. this is what voting yes on prop 31 means. yes on 31 ends the sale of candy flavored tobacco products.

million. right now we are between two desperately needed rounds of rain, and years of drought has taken a toll across the state, especially on our watersheds. kpix 5 -- kpix 5's going along with researchers to find out the watershed is responding to all of these dry years. >> survival is impacted by so many things, but only the fish that are in wet, connected areas have a really solid chance of survival in these dry years. >> reporter: the russian river monitoring team are sloshing their way through dutch bill creek in the hills of western sonoma county. >> he knows the stream intimately. >> reporter: that means knowing the stream like a doctor knows a patient , assessing its health in another dry year . >> so, yes. in a sense we are measuring the drought, we are

measuring what does that really mean for the fish? what conditions are they experiencing? >> i got 12.8 celsius and 9.97. the ones that we are focusing on today are temperature and dissolved oxygen . >> fish don't need just water, they need good oxygen-rich water that is moving . >> water coming in from downstream and all the oxidization that is happening with the bubble curtains and the percolation's and all of that . >> eventually, the fish will need to keep moving as well. >> they are going to need connection so they can move out into the estuary and the ocean . >> if you are a steelhead in dutch bill creek, this is your big interchange on the way to the pacific. they lay into the russian river here , but you have to be able to make it here. this project is about understanding how that creek is changing , and what kind of odds the fish are facing as they try to make it out and back. >> to even has a chance to survive? there are so many factors related to survival

and it is hard enough for them to survive . >> we see these conditions plummet and disconnected from surface flow . >> disconnection is the real killer in places where the creek simply dries up . >> that was once a pool, as you can see from the scour , as we had downstream there are some very large pools that are completely dry as well. >> year-by-year the team is piecing together a picture of a watershed stressed by drought where disconnected streams and teva conditions, but all of the fish know how to keep trying. and some are actually managing pretty well. >> the fact that we are able to see so many fish, not even in the pool, but standing on the edge of the pool looking in indicates that there was really good successful spawning in this reach of stream . >> the hope is that a better understanding of the creek and how it is changing , can provide better strategies for how to give these fish better odds of surviving . >> also just to kind of

understand better like what we are facing, what we are potentially losing, what sort of scale of work is going to be needed if we are going to help these fish to survive under climate change conditions. >> reporter: that means keeping a continual watch creeks like dutch bill. in sonoma county, wilson walker kpix 5 . speaking of water we are grateful to every single drop, we want to save and protect it. i know it is not going to be a drought buster but it will make a difference on the fire watch picks i'm so glad you brought that up. you know how there is no official fire season anymore now? you cannot say it officially ends fire season with the storm, but the amount of rain the storm is bringing and the snow in the sierra, we can see this is going to be the unofficial official end of fire season for this year. i will show you why i would say that when we look at the storm. you can see how cloudy it is now from above san jose, that is what it looks like from the top of the hills on the west side of the santa clara valley

and you see on the post protected land out there , it is getting misted on right now, because the class had just kind of thickened down to the hilltop level there. but everywhere else it is just a great looking day. the rain is coming from that. the first one gets here tomorrow afternoon , then a more meaningful one gets here for monday and tuesday, let's take these in order again. here is the saturday system, this gives us light showers starting in the afternoon, by the time we get to the middle of the day it comes right along through the golden gate , that is actually like evening time, it clears the south bay by midnight on saturday going into sunday. we don't get a lot from that. we are only going to get a couple hundredths of an inch of rain. there is not a lot of rain and not one. there is better rain in this one. we get close enough to it now that we have a high degree of confidence this will play out. this is now monday when the system starts rolling , but wont tell him this goes, we get rain on monday , tuesday it is still

here and has not budged that much, two good days of steady rain. they area-y, northern california, and consistent snowfall in the sierra. then by that wednesday, it was off to the east, there is the possibility for more to come . @ for rain? for saturday it is only a couple hundredths of an inch of rain. watch what happens when we at monday and tuesday. a lot better. this brings us up to anywhere from a half an inch to maybe three quarters of an inch of rain, the deep red over here is person precipitation, but that is going to be snow because it is a cold system, snow down to about 45 feet , we get perhaps a foot and a half of snow. when you look at the combination of the two, this is a fire season ending kind of system coming at his as it is in november as long as we did not get anything else again , anything could happen. we

could get fires here in january, this is the kind of storm that does not only the concerns for this season at this point, it is really good news from standpoint. it looks really messy on the seven-day forecast, sunday technically has rain on it, but really it can only be leftovers from saturday morning with a real early stuff coming in on sunday night, most of the sunday you did not get rain, monday and tuesday we will clear it out in time for wednesday, notice how much cooler we get, daytime highs going down to the mid-50s as we get into early next week and we will probably match that as well in the middle of next week we do more of the low 30s for the inland valley. back to you . >> thank you. the 49ers are on a bye week. how are the players taking advantage of the time off? here is vern glenn with the answers. >> this is the volkswagen red and gold report . is by week for the 49ers which means some time off and a nice break from football for the players. so, how exactly are they spending that time off? charlie walker asked
