<p>WATERTOWN – Ahead of the forecasted scorcher of a weekend, HVAC companies throughout our area report being overwhelmed with calls. </p>
<p>&#8220;Everyone is inundated with phone calls right now. We are doing our best to keep up,&#8221; said Steven Akian owner of Akian Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning.  The company is in its fifth year but Akian himself has nearly 15 years of experience in the HVAC business. </p>
<p>&#8220;They can&#8217;t find people to service their equipment,&#8221; Akian said of customers calling in. &#8220;Customers are turning on their ACs and they are either not turning on or not blowing out cold air. That&#8217;s a problem.&#8221; </p>
<p>Akian said this time of year, they usually see roughly 60 calls a day for service, but that number has jumped drastically this week.  The company received 297 phone calls on Monday alone. </p>
<p>Most of those callers have had to be turned away. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re turning your AC on for the first time this season, Akian recommended having your cooling systems refrigerant levels checked, along with the accuracy of your thermostat. </p>
<p>Akian does not recommend people waiting as long as possible to turn on their air conditioner.  He said it often results in people discovering issues when it&#8217;s too late. </p>

<p>Words of Wisdumb from a Fun Nun–</p>
<p>By Sister Dana Van Iquity–</p>
<p><strong>Sister</strong><strong> Dana sez, “Happy LGBTQ PRIDE WEEKEND to everyone!  I look forward to once again sitting atop the SF Bay Times open-top vehicle wearing rainbow nun habit to wave fervently, flash peace signs, and blow kisses to the crowd along the parade route!  See you there!”</strong></p>
<p><strong>GAY PRIDE 1985 </strong>was the day I became a member of <strong>THE SISTERS OF PERPETUAL INDULGENCE</strong>, and I will forever treasure that beautiful day!  This will be my 37th year happily serving with The San Francisco Order of SPI.</p>
<p><strong>Devlin Shand, Fadi Salah</strong>and<strong> Erika Pappas</strong> have created <strong>QUEER AF</strong> <strong>(Queer Arts Featured)</strong> on the historic site of Harvey Milk&#8217;s former camera shop, 575 Castro Street—to serve the queer arts community in the SF Bay Area.  As a gallery, boutique, and gathering space, Queer AF will feature art across all mediums, with a focus on the work of underrepresented, disenfranchised, and emerging local Queer artists and makers while minimizing financial barriers.  They strive to keep The Castro Queer AF They held their grand opening party on June 10. I was particularly drawn (no pun intended) to the graphite works of <strong>Louis Felipe</strong> because of their erotic quality.  https://www.queerartsfeatured.com/</p>
<p><strong>Sister</strong><strong> Dana sez, “The astonishing JANUARY 6th INSURRECTION HEARINGS were broadcast on every major news station but Fox-TV news.  Great!  So, the very viewers who really and truly should have seen that coverage were purposely deprived!”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Vice Chair Liz Cheney </strong>brilliantly exhorted at the beginning of the hearing: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone;  but your dishonor will remain!”</p>
<p><strong>LUNA RIENNE GALLERY </strong>held a stunning opening reception on June 11 to display <strong>SOWING SEEDS</strong>featuring originals and reproductions of selected works by urban contemporary artist <strong>Norm “Nomzee” Maxwell</strong> (1969-2016).  Created between the years of 2002–2015, these works are among his most colorful and positive—reflecting his growing family, fond memories of his Philadelphia youth, and metaphysical aspirations.  Despite his passing, his work remains not only relevant but also visionary.  My fave is mos&#8217; def&#8217; <strong>“Pop On A Platter: Beyoncé Lisa (2010),” </strong>Maxwell&#8217;s Giclee print on canvas interpretation of the pop diva as the famous Mona Lisa.  Maxell&#8217;s works, as well as many other artists&#8217; pieces, are now on exhibition at 3318 22nd Street (@ Valencia).  https://lunarienne.com/art/</p>
<p><strong>President Joe Biden</strong> signed to <strong>EXECUTIVE ORDER</strong> on June 15 aimed at protecting LGBTQ people from a cascade of legislation in conservative states that increasingly targets the rights of gays, lesbians, transgender youth, and others.  The order is designed to counter efforts by Republican politicians like Gov.  Ron DeSantis of Florida, who has pushed through a measure—the “Don&#8217;t Say Gay” law—banning teachers from providing instruction regarding gender identity or sexual orientation.  Other laws passed in conservative states include prohibitions on transgender girls competing in high school sports and efforts to ban the provision of gender-affirming care.  White House officials have called the new laws “un-American” and said they are designed to discriminate against families and children based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.</p>
<p><strong>Sister</strong><strong> Dana sez, “Uvalde.  Buffalo.  El Paso.  Dayton.  Gilroy.  pulses  santa fe  park land  Sutherland Springs.  Las Vegas.  Sandy Hook.  aurora.  Virginia Tech.  columbine  Many others.  How many more Americans must be massacred by assault rifles until Congress gets these weapons of war off our streets?  Other countries have taken decisive action to ban assault rifles and have seen drastic reductions in gun violence.  We MUST do the same!”</strong></p>
<p>On June 11, more than 450 rallies were staged nationwide in the <strong>MARCH FOR OUR LIVES </strong>gun reforms demonstrations—including one in SF and another in Oakland.</p>
<p><strong>President Joe Biden </strong>has officially declared <strong>JUNETEENTH</strong> as a federal holiday, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.  It is also often observed for celebrating African-American culture.  Originating in Galveston, Texas, it has been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the United States since 1865. “Juneteenth” was definitely observed joyously all over the Bay Area this year.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://sfbaytimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/image-50.png" alt="" class="wp-image-34848" srcset="https://sfbaytimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/image-50.png 796w, https://sfbaytimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/image-50-300x246.png 300w, https://sfbaytimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/image-50-768x631.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px" /></p>
<p><strong>Mayor London N. Breed</strong> joined elected and city officials and community members on June 19 to kick off a series of community-led events to honor the Juneteenth holiday in San Francisco.  Following President Joe Biden&#8217;s 2021 resolution declaring Juneteenth a federal holiday, Mayor Breed signed an order declaring June 19 an official holiday in San Francisco.  &#8220;Juneteenth is a recognition of our culture and accomplishments, but it&#8217;s also a solemn reminder of the bonds of slavery and the struggle for equality that continues today,&#8221; said Mayor Breed.  “For years, San Francisco&#8217;s Black community has commemorated this day through celebrations across our city, but this year is special as it is the first time we are coming together to celebrate Juneteenth as an official holiday.  I want to thank the community and our city leaders who continue to put in the work to ensure that Black San Franciscans have an opportunity to thrive.”</p>
<p><strong>Gary Virginia and Donna Sachet</strong>&#8216;s <strong>PRIDE BRUNCH</strong> is back, in person!  Marking its 24th year, this annual celebration of all things Pride during SF&#8217;s Pride Weekend returns to the beautiful Westin St. Francis Hotel, 355 Powell Street on Saturday, June 25, 11 am–2 pm—including a three-course meal, hosted bar , and a joyous commemoration of the <strong>PRIDE PARADE</strong>&#8216;s<strong> Grand Marshals</strong> and a coming together three years in the making.

Services help over 5,000 clients annually on their path toward stability and better health and financial outcomes.  https://tinyurl.com/2bmndf95</p>
<p><strong>THE SAN FRANCISCO TRANS MARCH</strong> —San Francisco&#8217;s largest transgender Pride event and one of the largest trans events in the entire world is always the Friday of Pride weekend, and thousands of people attend.  It&#8217;s June 24, 6 pm in Dolores Park (Dolores and 18th Streets) for the street march, which is approximately a 45-minute walk.  Bring signs, banners, posters, megaphones—you know the drill.  Earlier activities begin at 10:30 am throughout the day.  https://www.transmarch.org/</p>
<p><strong>THE SAN FRANCISCO DYKE MARCH</strong> is marching at 5 pm on June 25 at the intersection of Dolores Street and 18th Street in San Francisco.  No rally in Dolores Park is planned before hand.  https://www.thedykemarch.org/</p>
<p>Congratulations go to “<strong>A STRANGE LOOP</strong>,” an irreverent, sexually frank work about Blackness and queerness winning Best New Musical at the <strong>TONY AWARDS</strong> onJune 12. <strong>Michael R Jackson</strong>&#8216;s 2020 Pulitzer Prize drama winner is all about a black gay man writing a show about a black gay man.  Jackson also won for best book. <strong>Sister</strong><strong> Dana sez, &#8220;Oh, we GOTTA go catch this winner when it comes to the Bay Area—which it hopefully will do!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>THE VINE SING ALONG PRIDE MASS</strong> at Grace Cathedral was back!  We belted out our favorite queer anthems in an utterly rainbow-covered cathedral.  I was, of course, Sister Dana the rainbow nun, along with many other fellow SPI nuns.  This year&#8217;s theme was “Family Values.”  We decided the Religious Right shouldn&#8217;t have all the fun, so we leaned-in hard to celebrate the joy, resilience, and struggle of what it means for our LGBTQ community to be family.  We heard an inspiring message from the <strong>Rev Dr  Cameron Partridge</strong>—a justice warrior, theologian, and openly transgender man.  He has taught at Harvard University, spoken at Why Christian, and currently serves as Rector to St. Aidan&#8217;s Episcopal Church in SF.  After the service, we all enjoyed rainbow cake!</p>
<p><strong>Juanita MORE!</strong>&#8216;s 18th annual <strong>PRIDE PARTY</strong> is June 26, noon to 7 pm, 620 Jones Street.  Miss MORE!  continues to raise the bar with this annual nonprofit Pride extravaganza.  It focuses on supporting some of SF&#8217;s most impactful organizations.  Over the years, Juanita&#8217;s efforts have raised over $1 million dollars for the LGBTQ community.  With the donations raised through this year&#8217;s party, <strong>Q FOUNDATION</strong> will use those contributions to continue their important work throughout San Francisco and spearhead new initiatives which include acquiring residential real estate.  Q Foundation is the home for homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing services for the LGBTQIA, and members of the HIV+ communities.  They provide advocacy leadership at the national, state, and local levels and direct services to thousands of San Francisco residents.  https://juanitamore.com/pride</p>
<p><strong>SAN FRANCISCO PLAYHOUSE</strong> (Artistic Director <strong>Bill English</strong>;  Producing Director <strong>Susi Damilano</strong>) announces <strong>FOLLIES</strong> by <strong>James Goldman</strong> other <strong>Stephen Sondheim</strong>.  The musical will run on the San Francisco Playhouse main stage, 450 Post Street, from June 30 through September 10. Originally slated for the Playhouse&#8217;s 2019/20 Season and canceled due to COVID-19, the show marks the first fully staged professional production of Follies in San Francisco.  The musical, which won seven Tony Awards in 1972 and has been heralded by The New York Times as “one of the greatest musicals ever written,” closed on Broadway after 522 performances and never went on a national tour.  So, now&#8217;s our chance!  https://tinyurl.com/yzdfkxpc</p>
<p>On Saturday, July 9, join the summer fun around the Eagle Plaza, on 12th Street, between Folsom and Harrison for the next <strong>SOMA SECOND SATURDAYS</strong>.  The first weekly Eagle Plaza Farmers Market will be open from 9 am &#8211; 12:30 pm.  SOMA Second Saturday brings out our local, community Artists and Craftspeople.  https://tinyurl.com/2zaj7y57</p>
<p><strong>Sister Dana sez, “As you march in the parade or are in the crowd cheering, be sure to look up and notice the gorgeous PINK TRIANGLE way up in Twin Peaks!  And when the sun goes down, the pink triangle lights up in all its glory!&#8221;</strong></p>

<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">JACKSONVILLE, Fla.  — Two homes caught fire due to fireplace chimneys this past Saturday.</p>
<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">Fortunately, no one was hurt in either fire, but these fires serve as a reminder to properly maintain your chimney.</p>
<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">Some Jacksonville residents decided to keep warm by using fireplaces, but once their chimney fires started, they quickly spread.</p>
<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">&#8220;Both of them were the result of cracks in the mortar which then get inside and burn the wood,&#8221; JFRD spokesperson Eric Prosswimmer said.</p>

<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">JFRD is reminding folks that even though we may only use our chimneys once or twice a year &#8211; they still need to be properly taken care of.</p>
<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">“It&#8217;s really important to have your chimney checked regularly, maintained and cleaned,” Prosswimmer said.</p>
<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">It&#8217;s not only about your chimney structure, but what you burn at the bottom.  Officials told us fires can start from a buildup of creosote or from cracks and loose bricks.</p>
<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">“Make sure you&#8217;re burning seasoned firewood.  Seasoned firewood is a lot dryer, burns hotter,” Prosswimmer said.</p>
<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">Firefighters said to make sure you have a cap on top of your chimney so no debris or wild animals get inside.</p>
<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">They said it&#8217;s also important the flue is open for proper ventilation.</p>
<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">RELATED >>> Apartment fire in Jacksonville&#8217;s New Town neighborhood</p>
<p class="default__StyledText-xb1qmn-0 direoF body-paragraph">Even if you live in Florida, remember:</p>
<ul class="list__StyledUnorderedList-sc-1wwq737-2 JRdEJ">
<li class="list__StyledListItem-sc-1wwq737-0 eWWuMa">Make sure your chimney is inspected annually by a professional.</li>
<li class="list__StyledListItem-sc-1wwq737-0 eWWuMa">Do not use flammable liquids.</li>
<li class="list__StyledListItem-sc-1wwq737-0 eWWuMa">Never leave a fire unattended.</li>
<li class="list__StyledListItem-sc-1wwq737-0 eWWuMa">If you have normal chimney soot, head to your local hardware store for a chimney sweep.  However, if there is serious buildup inside your chimney, JFRD urges you to let a professional handle it.</li>

<p>Story continues below advertisement</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">The spectacle Saturday night was one of several incidents of looting and shoplifting reported at high-end retail stores around the Bay Area over the weekend.</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">On Friday night, thieves broke into at least 10 stores, including a Louis Vuitton in San Francisco&#8217;s Union Square.  And on Sunday night, officers in Hayward, about a 30-minute drive from San Francisco, were investigating after a group of smash-and-grab burglars destroyed glass cabinets and stole merchandise from a mall jewelry store.</p>
<p>Police arrest suspects after a San Francisco Louis Vuitton store was robbed during a 10 store looting spree in the area on Nov. 19. (@Yealenne via Storyful)</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">&#8220;These crimes are happening around the Bay and across the country,&#8221; San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin tweeted Saturday.  &#8220;I stand in partnership with our local, regional, state, and federal partners as we work together to do whatever it takes to keep you safe.&#8221;</p>
<p>Story continues below advertisement</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">Incidents of retail theft and organized crime have marred San Francisco&#8217;s image as of late.  Pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS have discussed blatant acts of shoplifting and shuttered several locations as a result.  In September, city officials announced new tactics for fighting the crime wave, including adding more foot patrols and additional investigators to the police department&#8217;s organized retail crime unit.</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">This weekend&#8217;s crime spree began Friday night around 8 pm as San Francisco police responded to reports of looting and burglary around Union Square, a popular shopping district.  Videos circulating on social media show looters ransacking a Louis Vuitton store after shattering the windows.  One person can be seen climbing a shelving display to grab a handbag at the top, while another dragged a large piece of luggage outside.  Yet another ran from the store with an armful of shoes and clothing.</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">ABC7 News reported that over $1 million in merchandise was stolen from Union Square stores.</p>
<p>Story continues below advertisement</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">One video shows police smashing the windows of a Mustang outside the store and forcibly removing a person from the vehicle.  At a news conference Saturday, San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said the officers “were confronting an armed individual” inside the Mustang.</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">As of Saturday, police had arrested eight people and seized two vehicles thought to be connected to the crimes, including the Mustang, Scott said.</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">&#8220;I think the people that tried to do this and the people that did do this, it was concerted,&#8221; he said.  &#8220;There&#8217;s no doubt in my mind that this wasn&#8217;t unplanned.&#8221;</p>

<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">The following evening, Nordstrom employees and shoppers in Walnut Creek were ambushed by approximately 80 thieves who entered the store in unison just before 9 pm, police said.</p>

<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">Jodi Hernandez, a reporter with NBC Bay Area, was outside the store and recorded footage of what she dubbed the “flash mob robbery.”  Hernandez said about 25 cars blocked the street in front of Nordstrom before the occupants stormed inside and then returned to the vehicles with stolen merchandise.</p>

<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">Three people were arrested in connection with the thefts Saturday night, according to police: 30-year-old Dana Dawson and 32-year-old Joshua Underwood of San Francisco, and 18-year-old Rodney Robinson of Oakland.  The Walnut Creek Police Department did not respond to an email from The Washington Post late Sunday requesting an update on its investigation.</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">On Sunday, however, the department cautioned residents that the same group of thieves might be planning another heist that evening.</p>
<p>Story continues below advertisement</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">&#8220;This has not been confirmed, but out of an abundance of caution, we&#8217;re alerting businesses and residents to be prepared,&#8221; police tweeted.  “The PD is calling out add&#8217;l officers and reserves, and some stores may consider closing early or taking other precautions.  There is no specific time or target known right now.&#8221;</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">On Sunday night, at the Southland Mall in Hayward, a group of thieves carrying hammers smashed glass cases and stole jewelry from Sam&#8217;s Jewelers, local media reported.</p>
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">A large mob robbed Sam&#8217;s Jewelers inside Southland Mall, Hayward.  PD said they received calls at 5:25 pm today.  Witnesses told me 1st wave of robbers involved about 30-40 kids.  A 2nd wave with fewer robbers returned to clean it up. Story tonight 11 on Ch 5 @KPIXtv pic.twitter.com/1kXj5N4UT2</p>

<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">Lt.  Mark Ormsby of the Hayward Police Department told the San Francisco Chronicle that investigators do not yet have enough information to tie the incident to the other crimes in the Bay Area.</p>
<p>Story continues below advertisement</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">Jim Dudley, a retired San Francisco Police officer who now teaches criminal justice at San Francisco State University, said the burglaries might be the result of a “perfect storm” created by corporations and policymakers in California, where many retailers have “no chase” policies Regarding shoplifters and where at least $950 of merchandise must be stolen for state prosecutors to press felony charges.</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text" class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md">The weekend&#8217;s looting and shoplifting incidents “seem to be coordinated, with tools, lookouts, vehicles for getaway and swarming tactics used by criminals with intent to plunder,” Dudley told the Chronicle.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>It&#8217;s going to be a very busy weekend in San Francisco, as are multiple events planned to mark the start of the Lunar New Year, The Brooklyn Nets face the Warriors at Chase Center and people going to nearest bars to watch the NFC Championship Game between the 49ers and Rams. </p>
<p>But as crowds are expected to gather, The city&#8217;s health department is urging everyone to keep their guard up as they said the omicron isn&#8217;t gone yet.</p>
<p>At Harry&#8217;s Bar, they&#8217;re ready for the big 49ers game on Sunday and the crowd that comes with it.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re holding some walk up space for regulars and setting up tv&#8217;s both inside and outside to give fans safe space.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to be expanding our outdoor seating area i rented 40 additional chairs from a local party rental so we&#8217;re going to seat as many people as we can outside,&#8221; Charles Johnson said.</p>
<p>They upgraded the HVAC system a while back.  They&#8217;re also following city mandates on masking and vaccinations.</p>
<p>&#8220;We do continue to sanitize everything we do make our own sanitizer we do sanitize the table and menus and everything between seating,&#8221; Johnson said.  dr  Mary Mercer, medical co-lead for COVID Task Force at the San Francisco Department of Public Health told NBC Bay Area that people will still need to be careful how we come together.</p>
<p>&#8220;San Francisco is now on the downslope of the omicron surge cases are still quite high though so its very important for us to layer up our many layers of protections,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>That includes masks like an N95 or KN95, isolating and testing if you have symptoms &#8211; and they want to remind everyone that outdoor gatherings are safer than indoors.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, as excitement builds for the return of the Lunar New Year parade, organizers are cautiously optimistic and have protocols in place, for the crowd they hope will return as well.</p>

<p>The much-discussed weather forecast for Northern California this weekend remains on track Thursday morning, and the chance of rain, albeit light, in the San Francisco Bay Area looks increasingly promising, forecasters say.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, the National Weather Service estimated the probability of rain in the Bay Area at around 10 to 20%.  Today the chance is around 30 to 40%.</p>
<p>&#8220;We generally expect most of the rain to fall in the North Bay, as we normally see these systems coming from the Gulf of Alaska early in the season,&#8221; said Drew Peterson, a weather service meteorologist.</p>
<p>Peterson said the North Bay and Valley areas could reach 0.1-0.2 inches while the coastal mountains could reach up to a third of an inch.  In San Francisco and throughout the central Bay Area, rainfall is likely in the range of 0.04 to 0.06 inches.</p>
<p>&#8220;By the time you get to San Jose, the rain will shade you,&#8221; said Peterson, referring to the phenomenon common in the Santa Clara Valley, where the mountains protect the valley areas from rain. </p>
<p>On the overall storm, he added, &#8220;It&#8217;s pretty good for our first storm.&#8221;</p>
<p>The system is crashing from the Aleutian Islands and its forward end will hit the Pacific Northwest on Friday with drenched rain. </p>
<p>The chance of rain is expected to increase rapidly along the Oregon-California border early Saturday and then slowly advance south.</p>
<p>&#8220;According to the current forecast, some showers over North Sonoma are possible until Saturday afternoon,&#8221; said the weather service in its forecast.  &#8220;The chances of showers will continue to increase north of San Jose through Saturday night. The chances of showers will last through Sunday afternoon, and again mainly north of San Jose.&#8221;</p>
<p>California is in desperate need of rain as reservoir levels sink to record low and the vegetation on the ground has dried up and flammable after two consecutive dry winters.</p>
<p>The Dixie Fire, 250 miles northeast of San Francisco, has been burning for two months and is approaching 1 million acres.  The Caldor fire led to evacuations in South Lake Tahoe.  Both flames could benefit from moisture. </p>
<p>The best chance of significant rain is over the Dixie Fire, where forecasters are forecasting 0.50 to 0.75 inches.  Weather service expects 0.10 to 0.25 inches in the South Lake Tahoe area near the Caldor fire.</p>
<p>Here are some * preliminary * total rainfall amounts for this weekend.  We expect some precipitation late Saturday to Sunday.

<p>The furthest northwest corner of California is likely to have the most rain this weekend;  up to 2 inches is possible in the mountains of Del Norte County.  Crescent City is expected to see 1.36 inches, Yreka 0.54 inches and Shasta 0.42 inches, the weather service&#8217;s Eureka office said.</p>
