we are passionate about something else. horses nbc bay area's joe rosato jr shows us why a new proposal from the national park service has some concerned. along the san mateo coast. the pacific ocean rolls and twists with the tides. but in the small coastal town of montara, the draw for christie effort is the rolling hills with her horse tuxie beneath her. it's where i get to spend time with my beautiful horse. that's part of my family. tucked into these hills above the pacific ocean is a community of horse lovers. they board their horses at a cluster of four boarding
5:14 pm
ranches and stretch their legs along the scenic trails. it's just a special family of people that love the outdoors. the wilderness effort and caprice aptos met on these trails and hitched their dreams to the same star. we got married on horseback. anybody but lately, there's a question mark hanging over the future of this equestrian paradise. the national park service, which took over the land in 2011, is studying plans to revamp the area. among the potential plans laid out in a recent study, the park service would revamp trails and potentially change the layouts of some of the ranches. it's caused a stampede of worry among the area's horse lovers. all the plans, all the consultants report, all of them have no option for keeping all the horses. they all reduce the number of horses. larry dejong, president of the coastside horse council, obtained the park
5:15 pm
service's draft plan through the freedom of information act. his interpretation is that it calls for reducing the area's horses from the current 210 to less than 40. if we lost those horses, we would lose veterinarians. we would lose shoers. we would lose horse chiropractors, we would lose feed stores. they know when you're having a bad day and they need to be next to you. i've heard fears a reduction in boarding spaces would force horse owners like her to leave the area altogether. to have that go away would affect my soul and my heart. but golden gate national recreation area superintendent david smith says, whoa, hold your horses. smith says the park service is only studying ways to make the area more accessible for everyone, including bicycling and walkers. we've got some folks that a lot of folks that really do care about horses and i want to really communicate is we do,
5:16 pm
too. smith says some of the concerns involve horse manure from the ranches fouling nearby waterways, which the horse users deny. he says right now, there are more than 170 horses boarding in the area, with a maximum of 210 allowed. we are committed to the idea that we are going to have as many horses there as are ecologically feasible, and i honestly don't think there's going to be any change in the number of horses that are there. smith expects the park service to release a draft plan by the end of the year. this is not just a community. this is a family. but until the plan is revealed, riders who think of these trails as a second home will warily tread the rolling hills of montara, hoping that each ride into the sunset won't be the last. joe rosado jr. happy trails. nbc, bay area news. beautiful ride. let's go to the sierra now, where a weekend spring storm set a single day
5:17 pm
snowfall record. uc berkeley sierra snow lab says saturday's storm near donner summit dropped more than 26in. that beat the second snowiest day of the season on march 3rd, which saw just under 24in palisades tahoe ski resort is also celebrating all that fresh powder look at that. what a great treat for skiers up there this past weekend. a bit treacherous to get up there. i mean, some road closures, spin outs and some crashes and wow, what a change. and just like a day sunday the sun was shining and it's now even getting brighter. that's saturday. it felt like we were back in february. it was crazy. i know it just happened so quickly after the nice week we had so fast and we are going to see the temperatures continue to heat up here as we head through the next couple of days. we're also watching some wind. i do want to start off that microclimate forecast, and with that talk of all the snow we had this weekend, show you where the sierra snowpack is sitting right now and the numbers are incredible. we have now seen them boost up even more 119% for
5:18 pm
the northern sierra, central 96 and southern sierra 79. and of course, all that's important because it provides a third of the state's water supply. so with these snowpack numbers, our reservoirs also coming in near 100% of capacity for much of the bay area. and our rainfall season numbers also continue to get boosted. we should not be heading into a drought at least for the next 6 to 8 months. based on where we're sitting right now. so that is certainly some excellent news. after so many years in the past here, most recently with that drought to contend with. so you'll see right here in santa rosa, we've had 36.97in so far this season. that's a 4.71in surplus, also a surplus of 3.66 in san francisco. look at san jose up 4.18in. we're always really hard pressed to get big rain numbers down there in san jose. but this year has certainly been a marquee year for us down there throughout the south bay. okay, when it comes to tomorrow's
5:19 pm
forecast, no chance of any rainfall from this area of high pressure is still going to push that storm track off to the north. so we're going to get to some warmer weather here, not only tomorrow, but really through much of the week. you can see the preview of that on the scrolling 7-day forecast at the bottom of the screen. but the other thing we'll see happen is this system kind of sneak in from the east. that is going to kick up the wind here for parts of the bay area. i'll show you more on that wind coming up in about a minute and a half, but i do want to take it right into tomorrow morning's forecast, and we'll start here with a lot of sunshine, but the chance of a little bit of patchy fog down here for the south bay and the east bay that clear out real quickly. and then we're on a path here to plenty of sunshine through tomorrow morning. temperatures will start off on the chilly side. we're back again down to the 40s 47 in the peninsula south bay right here at 49, and very similar weather for the east bay and the north bay. temperatures through tomorrow warming up 3 to 6 degrees. so i think it's going to make it a better day for us. we can continue to thaw out from
5:20 pm
that weekend weather 74 down here in san jose. we have more of those 70s over martinez, danville, back to livermore right here in hayward. beautiful day and 71 peninsula, anywhere from 62.5 moon bay to 73 down here in palo alto, san francisco. no 70s, but a little bit warmer up towards the mission at 67. and for the north bay 72 here in ukiah. okay, the wind. i start to see that kicking up here by wednesday morning, especially in the north bay mountains, 15 to 40mph. we'd hang on with on and off wind gusts here into thursday morning for the north bay, and then we would see any wind kind of calming on down by thursday evening. if you're doing any traveling, i do want to let you know about some severe weather. wichita down to oklahoma city. high risk of strong tornadoes, large hail, and strong winds. we'll see that severe weather shift into the midwest through tomorrow. on my 7-day forecast back here across the bay, we're going to stay in the 70s for a good part of this week in san francisco, wednesday to
5:21 pm
saturday, and for the inland valleys up to the 80s warmest day on saturday, 89. so we're really you know what a rebound here for mother's day weekend. oh for sure. that's right. i got to remember to make reservations on sunday. yes okay. thank you jeff. that's good to know. it's going to be a beautiful day. thanks. well coming up staying away from saving. it's the term used for when you spend more to save by. experts say it's not a good practice and what you can
